IM PLAYIN takes a look at the wonders of retro-gaming, particularly at Pokemon Yellow on the Gameboy Colour.
"My Dad had his 50th birthday this year and to celebrate we went on a family holiday to Italy, in a town in the hills of Sorrento. It was a fantastic holiday, possibly the best that I've ever had. But you guys don't want to hear about my trip abroad.This isn't a travel blog, after all. The reason that I mention the holiday is down to one of my pastimes whilst sunning it poolside. That pastime being Pokémon Yellow on my 16 year old Gameboy Colour."
We’ve seen fan remakes of Pokemon games in the past, some very well done! Today, Pokebro on Youtube posted a video where he gave himself 2 weeks to remake Pokemon Yellow in 3D. The remake features a voxel art style and borrows some mechanics from both Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and Legends Arceus.
The average cost of Game Boy games has been steadily rising for years. If you look at the overall price growth, which has doubled within the last five years, then it should be pretty clear Game Boy game prices are following the trend of increasing retro video game prices.
You would have to be crazy to keep a Pokemon game in the box after getting it as a kid, though.
I still have my Final Fantasy Adventure and Zelda: Link's Awakening, but loose. I haven't had the box in... I don't know, a couple decades?
Amazon has discounted Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow to $7.49 each on the Nintendo 3DS.
Man i wish they made a yellow remake.
Yellow is an amazing game. I was playing it on my GBA SP a few months ago during lectures (probably not the best idea in hindsight) and absolutely loving it.
