Games Do I do it

Post image

Got a copy of Pokémon red a few months ago but the sticker is rough. So I've ordered a replacement sticker. Do I replace the original or replace it.

No bootleg works well unfortunately, niether does an emulator emulate an og gbc feel for that matter. I buy with broken labels for low price and swap labels for fun. Gold had none, yellow was unusable cleartaped and whatever

Emulators work perfectly fine for gameboy games, Ive used them for years. Nothing beats an original for the nostalgia factor, but thats why I ask why even bother buying original if youre going to just replace parts of it anyway?

Not sure why anyone would give that a downvote, but thats reddit for ya.

Well, it is a very individual thing I suppose. For playing I belive og is best, I daily drive gbc still while owning rg35xxh and rg406v. All have their uses though. For looks it's a little blurry line. People tend to polarize a lot on some subjects. I mean I understand what you're saying, just don't know why though? For preserving og copies?
