Pokemon Gold and Silver Gameboy Color (Gameboy Color)

Pokemon Special Edition Gameboy Color: Ideal for fans of Nintendo's successful Pokémon franchise, this special edition Pokemon Gold and Silver Nintendo Game Boy Color is embellished with the images of Pikachu and Pichu around the screen. Along with the custom screen plate, the body of this special edition Gameboy has a platinum finish that is unique among the Color generation of Nintendo consoles. As with other editions of the 8-bit handheld game system, this Pokemon Game Boy Color's 160 by 144 pixel screen can display any 56-color combination from its palette of 32,768 colors in total, providing an experience reminiscent of a souped-up version of Nintendo's 1985 NES. Players control this Gameboy device using a D-pad, A and B buttons, and Start and Select buttons. A convex bump on the lower back of the device serves as an extra bit of space for AA batteries and a bit of an ergonomic upgrade over the previous Gameboy model, the Pocket. The game screen lacks back- and front-lighting and is designed for visibility in direct sunlight rather than being limited to indoor use. As modern Pokemon fans spend their days capturing Pokémon outdoors with their smartphones, fans looking for a classic experience with the franchise will likely find themselves enjoying some time outside of the living room as well. With 15 to 20 hours of battery life, this classic Pokémon gaming console is built for longevity. This length of time does not include the sleep mode and other hibernation options. The elegant simplicity of this era of portables means that gaming is as simple as inserting a cartridge, flipping a switch, and investing every second of battery life on the time you spend actually playing. This gaming unit was one of the final revisions of the Gameboy to come out of Nintendo Japan in the midst of the Pokémon Trading Card Game craze; it was also one of the last to come along during the Gold and Silver transitional period before the Game Boy Advance refreshed the portable gaming space.
