I got my old game boys and have been playing pokemon gold on the gameboy color. I also have red and blue.
But, I want to play through the rest of them on original hardware up until the switch. I plan to use flash carts or some kind of mods to play the games as they are quite expensive.
Please let me know if there are any flaws in my plan.
Gameboy Advance SP (I like this as it’s backlit and will let me play my other gameboy games)
- Pokemon Emerald
New 3dsxl/2dsxl
- the rest of the games I’d like to play them all using flash carts or software mods. Since these games are not as old I’ll buy the original if they are under $100
Is it as simple as picking up these two consoles to play all the pre-switch pokemon games? Is there a better non-emulation option?
Mod a 3DS and you’re off to the races. I just went through a spree of buying cartridges from each generation and I kind of regret it. The 3DS will play every game you want and will be cheaper in the long run. No need to buy a flash cart. Not trying to be overly pedantic but flash carts are still emulation, just hardware emulation instead of software.
Good luck on your Pokemon journey! Currently burning through SoulSilver myself
