My dad gifted me the original when I was little. Someone stole it and I was never able to find another one like it back then. I'm happy to see that there's an affordable option to help my nostalgia.
I just got a real one from my local game store, I was really worried it was a shell but it was an original one. Thank you for posting this video. It helped put my mind at ease!!!!
In My First Year Of Middle School (1999-2000); I Got Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition And This Special Pikachu Theme Game Boy Color For Christmas That Year.
Love that you did this video. I got the original for my 12th birthday brand new and now days I just can’t afford a real one but after watching this the reproduction is close enough and good enough to fill my nostalgic heart. 😊🙌
I got this for Christmas in 99' from my grandpa. Was the best gift i've ever received. Came bundled with Pokemon Yellow and gameboy color was a semi-new thing then. I'd say the only thing that can be considered as cool as this item would be the SNES i got back in 96 bundled with Zelda Link to the Past.
Honestly replacing the shell on my game boy for the Pokémon shell is nice because it’s only 15 on Amazon then adding backlight makes it way better people buying the real one save your money but if you want the Pokémon she’ll look on Amazon it’s worth the money great video.
Same here! Got my sights on a genuine one now though so hopefully it’s still around by the time I get paid! It’s people like this guy that’s inspired me to start collecting again, idk what it is but something hit my nostalgia button recently lol.
The side....the cut out notch on the fake looks a lot bigger. The battery springs on the fake look bigger too. What if the characters on the front are different? Also, Pikachu is facing to the side in the one I'm looking at, and the Poke Ball isn't on it.. Were there different versions?
Thank you man for this video,i was about to get scammed buying a fake for a lot of money (thinking it was the original). Thanks god i saw this video before buying the console
Hi! This is great stuff! Thank you. I have an original one of these that I am going to list on ebay. Sound works, etc. All original/OEM, etc. Marked up but in working condition, etc. For a base price, how much do you think these are going for now? As I see this is 2 yrs later. TIA!
New suscríbete here! One thing that I saw is the space between pikachu right armpit it’s a little gap, another thing is togepi spots are different! Can you make one for Pokémon yellow I have a box and it’s a little different. Thanks
Na parte de trás quando tira a capa, no compartimento das pilhas, há uma diferença. Na parte baixo na falsa vê se um buraco e um parafuso é na original na tem esse buraco.
I have a Game Boy colour that looks authentic but when I turn it on when she was a Nintendo copyright under game boy when you turn it on it’s completely black so it just makes me question it but the thing is I remember getting it for my birthday when they released so I’m super confused
I just found all 7 gbc Pokemon games for 45$ at amazon and all the reviews are good but only got 4 stars bec you have to replace the dead battery for the fake one every 8 years. If i do get them i hope to play them. I got 2 fake copy's of Pokemon blue for 20$ each and they work very great for me at amazon.
Hello to Pokémon fans from Panama! Good luck and thank you for your support! I do sell some on my eBay and Instagram platform if you want to get one! Just search me up at pokeboy14. Thank you for your support!
There is a problem with the video. This is good if you wanna find an original USA version. But there are EU and Australia version, which are different. Watching this might make you think those are fake, which they aren’t

wow that sucks! There are affordable stuff out there, good luck!
This exact thing happened to me. Always felt really guilty about it, too.
@@tracermunk theyre around, just have to look closer for the details.
Almost the same situation but it was my brother's, n he was only letting me borrow his
You just helped me avoid overpaying for a shell copy! Thank you!
im glad to help! thank you for your support!

thank you for your kind words and support! i try to review it to help other people decide what to buy and what to look for.
Have been waiting for this video! Thanks a lot 😄
Happy to help! Shells finally came in! :)

I bow at your collection and knowledge
Also Togepi has the red marks on the right on the real one and not the fake. It's like 2 red dots.

Thanks! I did the full replacement video. Good luck and thank you for your support!
Is the screen basically the same?
Do the springs in the buttons feel strong?
I was about to buy a fake one too . Good thing i watched your vid :) Very nice info and collection !!!
Oh good! I’m glad to help! Thank you for your support!

What I look for is the buttons and Nintendo logo
Guess mine is a re-shell.. can’t complain being $80 with 25% at local game store though😂

What happens if the back of this gameboy color Pikachu is yellow
I just noticed the power button is like the open button on the Pokéball
How much can I expect to sell a decent - good condition one for?

Thank you Nick for doing this video! Mine ended up being a real one.
I'm glad!
@pokeboy14 is it possible to send you my pics i buy one ebay to check is it original case=?
Hi, thanks for the video. I have an original one boxed and thinking to sell. How rare is it? What's a fair price?
Have you seen an original with a meowth instead of Togepi?
Pokemon logo isn't centered as well
You missed a huge difference, the fake one had an extra screw in the battery compartment

How much cost limite edition
Thank you for this video! Turns out, my Pikachu Gameboy color is REAL!
Cheers!
Im glad to help! Thank you for your support!
You help me a lot .I think to buy a gameboy at around 200 dollar(1850tl turkish lira.)You saved me!Because its B botton is blue not green.
im glad to help! hello Turkey! hope to visit you soon and the old constantinople!
On the replacement one the on and off button is a bit different
i actually couldnt pinpoint it out thats why i didnt go through it but good eyes!
I have a Game Boy colour that looks authentic but when I turn it on when she was a Nintendo copyright under game boy when you turn it on it’s completely black so it just makes me question it but the thing is I remember getting it for my birthday when they released so I’m super confused
maybe just broken screen?
Fake battery cover doesn't have the sticker.
Did the original GBA pokemon version come with a charger as well with the double A battery slot or are the gameboy color chargers a mod/fake?
they have a slot for a charger originally but it didnt come with one.
I just found all 7 gbc Pokemon games for 45$ at amazon and all the reviews are good but only got 4 stars bec you have to replace the dead battery for the fake one every 8 years.
If i do get them i hope to play them.

good luck!
Why is one button blue and one green Does that mean all teal ones are fake?
usually yup!
One observation, the sides four(4) bars on the top are thicker on the original!
Nice observation! Thank you for your support!
I gonna buy one of this tomorrow im from Panamá since I was a kid my dream was to have one of them, I wish to buy the original,

Not because I'm broke but where do you buy the fake one?
ebay
eBay or you can check me out on FB or insta, I sell these replaced shells. Or just shell. Thank you for your support!
@@AngelOrtiz-ii3fd yes! Thank you for your support!
what’s the difference between fake and refurbished on eBay?
Fake and refurbished in terms of ebay listings has no difference.
good to know i have a real one❤
100% not US exclusive. We have them here in Australia.
i got a real one at a yard sale with Pokémon yellow for only 5 dollars
Thanks for saving me money
I got a fake one 😬
I’m hoping I get a real one for Christmas!
good luck! hope you get one!
Hi Nick, excellent video as aswalys. How can I find you on eBay?
You can look me up as pokeboy14. Thank you for your support!
Mine is a fake :(
I have the original in my hand
It's like 70-75 percent of them are fake
unfortunately!
Mine comes tomorrow...I already know it'll be fake, I should have seen this video before buying it : (
Sorry to hear that! Try to return it maybe? Good luck and thank you for your support!
@@pokeboy14a I'll try it but I don't think that a refund will be accepted... thanks for your support! .-)
