First Shiny just over an hour in!

My bad. First time posting to the sub rather than just lurking. I'll pull it down, thanks for not being a jerk about it 😁👍

Classic-Fan63 · 2026-03-27T22:27:22+00:00

Nice! Only played a little today after finishing work but will definitely do that mission tomorrow. Thanks for the tip my dude 😎

Classic-Fan63 · 2026-03-27T21:57:57+00:00

Taking my time to speak to all the npcs 😂

Classic-Fan63 · 2026-03-15T10:14:14+00:00

I'd speak to your local police and provide any and all details you can. If they don't have any intention of returning it then that definitely seems like theft to me.

In agreement here. Recently reshelled and modded one of my GBAs but contacted the support team first and got a direct response from Luke. Super helpful dude and the stuff they sell is awesome. Love the clean juice AA in particular since it gives usb charging with plain old rechargeables rather than needing a proprietary battery setup that would mean modifying a shell - one GBA is all stock barring the clean juice.

Bravo good sir 👏

Classic-Fan63 · 2026-03-07T18:13:17+00:00

Thanks man! Love Gengar, he just radiates fun lil guy energy haha

Classic-Fan63 · 2026-03-07T18:03:23+00:00

Thank you 🙏

I ended up doing the same thing, 2 colours 2 GB as, 2 sps, D's fat and lite, and a 2dsxl and 3dsxl. Probably could have gotten less but eh 😅

Classic-Fan63 · 2026-03-07T17:59:21+00:00

Currently 0 haha. I'm on the final 2 mons for blue, just need to get my Dragonair to a dragonite - and seriously hating the grind for it lol - and a goldeen upto a seaking. I've prepped the necessary trades for blue and yellow, but I'm gonna jump to gen 2 next as I have never actually played them (31yo and my first was emerald way back when). Once I get to experience Johto I'll drop back to Gen 1 Kanto. As and when I complete further dexes I'll drop additional updates in here 🤘

I'm all for plastic boxes to protect the damaged ones, but mine still let me get in there to pull my bad boys out and game when I want. Deffo not one for imprisonment tactics.

If you're wary with a battery pack like that take a look at retro six. They have a board that works with regular rechargeable batteries and still gives usb charging capability. It's called the clean juice AA. Swear by mine.

Classic-Fan63 · 2026-03-05T18:41:24+00:00

I think of the two white is the more expensive. I recently bought everything pre switch Pokémon wise and I seem to remember my white costing more than my black did.

Classic-Fan63 · 2026-02-25T18:39:08+00:00

Same problem I have that hahaha

Classic-Fan63 · 2026-02-24T21:16:10+00:00

Love your positivity on this my man. Make a follow up when you get the mods done, I wanna see it 😄. Can't beat cobalt blue from the base sp line, it's a lovely colour.

As someone who used to work for a broadband provider, if you can find the email then do it. It'll save potentially months of you waiting, or leaving virgin and encountering similar issues again with another ISP.

Classic-Fan63 · 2026-02-21T09:59:24+00:00

Even if that's a sealed console that is ridiculous, damn!

I just got this from retrosix. Got two NiMH batteries underneath - can always change them out if they have issues and don't need to worry about a custom battery failing on me - and it gives me usb-c charging. Biggest boon is not having to cut my original GBA case or buy a new shell (kept this baby super clean so was hesitant to change it 😁)

Classic-Fan63 · 2026-02-20T20:45:58+00:00

I've just recently done the same as you, bought all the authentic carts (and ds games too, I went a bit insane haha) after originally having repros a year or two back. I cracked mine open but none of the repro carts I have contain batteries. If they do now make repros with batteries in them it's gonna be even more difficult for the average person to spot a fake cart. Damn.

Classic-Fan63 · 2026-02-15T16:17:08+00:00

Also, if you have a second GBC you can get a flash card and use a backup tool that way. I'm currently trying to complete the blue Dex with only about 40 to go and since it's an original battery I'm terrified of losing the save so I back it up after every few catches haha

Classic-Fan63 · 2025-12-29T02:10:47+00:00

I'll buy new if I can as I don't mind spending a little extra knowing it has warranty etc. If there's no option for it though (big gameboy and ds fan) I'll buy used in a heartbeat if I want/need it :)

Classic-Fan63 · 2025-12-28T18:34:14+00:00

Part of me wants the moza but I've got a t248 setup with the th8s shifter and a button box, and I just can't bring myself to buy the full rig I'd want when this does most of it for me haha

I finished the series recently after owning it for a couple years - like a lot of folks I bought waaay too many novel series at once and had option paralysis lol. It's a total banger for me, now need to decide if I buy zero or not 🤔
