    "Once upon a time, Nintendo wanted to release the GameBoy Advance (Project Atlantis, the reason why is because it was for the Atlanta Olympics) it was scheduled on late 1996 or early 1997 and "'Mario's castle'" was supposed to be a launch title, but the protect was too expensive at the time, and replaced it with the GameBoy Pocket, and two years later Nintendo released a GameBoy Color sort of like a stop gap so they will have enough time to make project Atlantis, then later in 2000 they revealed the same item except with a new protect name and a different design and a year later in March 2001 in Japan and in June of the same year internationally Nintendo released the GameBoy advance, and then the Nintendo DS was released in November of 2004 and later the Nintendo DS lite in 2006 until 2008 when Nintendo released the Nintendo DSi which removed the backward capability with the GameBoy Advance, then in 2009 Nintendo revealed the long lost project".

    I had a solid black one. Well I do but some of the tiles on the LCD screen are gone out. One of the columns on the very edge is gone, and about half of the tile column next to it. Man, I played the p-windin out of that thing. Between Donkey Kong, Tetris, Pokemon (Red Blue and Yellow) and stuff, it saw a lot of use. Nowadays I play those games on the Gameboy colour as the missing columns of tiles make playing annoying, but it was the stuff. RIP Gameboy Pocket.
