I absolutely loved my Analog Pocket, really re-awoke my love for the GB/GBC/GBA games I have. Sadly had it stolen about 9 months ago when I was in London and whildt I miss it I'm not rushing to replace it because it motivated me to start refurbnishing / modding hand helds. In short it was my gateway into the wonderful world of retro, and for that I will be forever grateful. Also it introduced me to your wonderful channel., thanks for a really great video.
Pre-ordered my black Pocket three minutes after the first badge went up for order, and I'm still super happy with it. One of the best handhelds of the last decade imo. I like the build quality, and the screen is exceptional. Love the GBL screen mode because playing on an original Gameboy Light is really hard on the eyes but I just love the color of its light. The selection of cores is also kinda mind-blowing to me. You can literally boot up the entire Amiga library on the Pocket. I waited over two years before ordering the dock, but I love that one as well. The integration is absolutely seemless, just like with a Switch. The metal version is way overpriced imo, though. Plus, I'm probably the only one who doesn't find cold metal super appealing for a handheld console. If I were you, I'd sell the metal Pocket and get myself a dock instead for the full Pocket experience. Can't recommend it enough.
Haha I know, I was just going from the source, that's their official name for it, the Aluminum Edition. Watch out for the z in your Americanisation 😜 thanks for watching 😁
The button issues are a big reason for me not to buy one. I thought they had solved those issues with the GBC editions. Thanks for the review.

The aluminIUM Pocket looks so nice.
It is indeed very pretty! And yes if I'm talking about it I'll call it aluminium 😁 I only go with Aluminum Edition because that's their name for it
I just got my black plastic pocket and I am opening it up right now. To say I’m excited would be an understatement lol
Enjoy!
@ I’m trying to, but mine won’t play GBA carts 😭😭😭 any advice? I have cleaned them and tried TONS of carts

Where can I get the plastic model Joe?
The black and the white models are currently in stock on Analogue's website, which is a rare thing haha
thanks Joe
The proper spelling is aluminium. Please don't succumb to the americanization, Joe...
