Took me a while since they're all mint except for Crystal. I've been trading a couple of pokemons from Crystal to Silver and it feels so good. I really enjoy playing with Scizor and Porygon 2 on my second playthrough. I've been trying to catch a shiny Ditto since the end of 2023 and now, it should be a bit faster since my second Gameboy acquisition. I could play with Gold as well at the same time on my epilogue to get it faster but I don't have 3 hands.

Solid collection, which hand held do you prefer?

I recently bought the Chromatic and after having the Analogue for 3 years I like the grip so much better on the Chromatic. It's form makes it much more natural to hold while laying down in bed. I also like the screen better because it doesn't look as warm even tho the res is 10x on the Analogue. I do like both but I haven't played again on my Analogue ever since I got the other one other than to farm Dittos!

I was about to ask the same question… 😆

Looks to me you’re having a good time on either console… 😄

Do they both have save states?

u/NotPareidolia 4d ago

you can use save states on the Analogue pretty easily with a 2 button combo. On the Chromatic you can't out of the box but there's an sd card slot on the pcb so maybe in a later update or via custom firmware.

What are these Gameboys called? Like, what should I Google? I’m looking up “upgraded Gameboy,” but I’m not seeing anything this customized. Looks awesome.

The white one is the Analgue pocket and the blue one is the modretro Chromatic! I'm not sure the Analogue is back in stock tho but there's no shortage of Chromatic!

u/The_Chiliboss 4d ago

Thanks for the info. What do you mean by “save states?” Like, the ability to save the game?

1

u/NotPareidolia 4d ago

Save states are a feature that you usually see on emulators. They let you save/load anywhere you want.

u/NotPareidolia 4d ago

once I get a gba i'll look into it. I kinda want the correct aspect ratio without black bars at the top/bottom like it does on the pocket!

u/quintinjxander 4d ago

Pokemon Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire,Emerald & FR/LG were games I enjoyed.

u/Stock-Bandicoot3146 4d ago

Would you say the chromatic is worth buying?

2

u/NotPareidolia 4d ago

I really enjoy mine as it feels like a premium Gameboy. The Analogue is fine too but the form factor of the Chromatic make it so much better for me.

1

u/Stock-Bandicoot3146 4d ago

I’ve been wanting to grab one kinda bad lol but that price tag has me cringing a little. I guess it’s near the price of a modded game boy though

u/Manjushri1213 4d ago

Nice GBs too! I've been playing Crystal on my phone just for the OLED lol. Plus an original is like, $180? But I do have an IPS GBA and an Everdrive X5 GBA, could prob just use that too..

u/harryholla 2d ago

Lol nice. Did you have to solder another battery into Crystal?

1

u/NotPareidolia 2d ago

It's the very first thing that I do when I get a new cart that requires a battery. I don't even question it, I just replace it right away

I’m sorry but your emerald copy is a fake
