I got my old game boys and have been playing pokemon gold on the gameboy color. I also have red and blue.

But, I want to play through the rest of them on original hardware up until the switch. I plan to use flash carts or some kind of mods to play the games as they are quite expensive.

Please let me know if there are any flaws in my plan.

Gameboy Advance SP (I like this as it’s backlit and will let me play my other gameboy games)

  • Pokemon Emerald

New 3dsxl/2dsxl

  • the rest of the games I’d like to play them all using flash carts or software mods. Since these games are not as old I’ll buy the original if they are under $100

Is it as simple as picking up these two consoles to play all the pre-switch pokemon games? Is there a better non-emulation option?

Get the EZ Flash Parallel for DS, can be used with the 3DS. You can mod a 3DS really easily for the newer titles.

The Parallel has a number of issues and generally isn't a cart I can recommend. Here's a guide on what carts are and aren't recommended.

Odd, I've had mine for a while now, I use it often and haven't had an issue but I suppose user experience varies.
