How to play retro Pokemon

[Blackbeard]

I have a really bad (or good) desire to play Pokemon. I was thinking of trying to buy an older gameboy, and such - but the one issue or thing that I always missed out on was trading the pokemon that could only grow with trading.

Does anyone else still play or try to play this game? What has worked for you?

I hope they help.

I don't play, but I do collect Japanese Booster packs.

I've also never played Pokemon either I'm afraid

I'm not giving up, I might just buy a gameboy color and go from there.

There are also lots of good emulators, I'm sure multi player must work on those

Do it get one ! I spent hours of my child playing those games.

The emulators didn't work back in the day for multi player. However $100 for a Game Boy color.
