I played some Pokémon de PanePon on my commute with the Analogue Pocket, and I like it better than playing Gameboy games on the Nintendo Switch through Switch Online Expansion Pack. It’s just feels awkward playing Gameboy games on such a huge letterboxed screen.
Also, the 10x upscaling on the Pocket blows anything the Switch can do through emulation. Even on Gameboy Virtual Console on the 3DS (which I played Pocket Monsters Silver), which kind of looks blurry.
The sad thing is, getting a Pocket without overpaying is a difficult proposition or waiting 2+ years, since Analogue insists on “Kickstarter-like” behavior.
Such a shame really, it probably the perfect Gameboy Color recreation, besides modding a Gameboy, slapping a new shell and IPS screen on it, using a flash cart and calling it a day.
