That 10% dog is pretty freaking cool, shame it's not it's own thing.
 
Coo guys. Since I got a 3DS to play alpha sapphire I'll probably give it a download. Anyone still collecting the old cards?
 
Yeah, it's nice to play with all the ones you wouldn't use, and maybe gain an appreciation for them. Best part of Nuzlockes.

Think I'm gonna start a Nuzlocke tonight on Black. But it makes me sad when they die.

I'm done with cards for the time being, haven't got the budget for it!

Still haven't started going back and buying any yet. I was thinking of starting using the Amazon vouchers I get from surveys, but I prefer buying games with them instead.
 
What about a Gameboy SP?
I've got one of them, but they've got a front light instead of a back light, and they're pretty dark. There was a version released in Japan and the US with a back light, but they go for about a hundred quid these days.

That shows the difference between them, so while it's better than nothing, it's not great.
 
Ah right, I always remembered mine as being really bright but is it to do with playing older games on it too?

I'm sure my SP was much brighter than that, though I'll admit not as good as backlight.
 
My SP definitely had a backlight. I remember hiding away in the pitch black and playing on it.

Playing GB/GBC games on it probably look a bit better than GBA due to having less colours, so it doesn't really need to be as bright for it to stand out.

TBF that picture might be a bit darker than it actually is, it's probably just the way it shows on camera.
 
I thought my SP was backlit too. Are you sure they weren't released in Europe?
 
It looks like they were released in Europe after all, but apparently (according to Wiki) had a very limited release over here.

I had a gameboy SP when I was around 12. I only had one game for the full duration of owning it as times were hard back then...Pokemon Fire red. Pretty good game!

Can't wait for Sony to buy Nintendo so I can play it on console

Yeah the picture is definitely darker than it was in real life. I remember it being really bright when I had it.

I had the one with the stupid 'tribal' pattern on it. Fairly sure it had a little button to adjust the brightness/turn the backlight off. It was ace. I'm pretty sure I gave it away.
 
Yeah mines backlit, but I kept it to play my old gameboy games if I want to. I have the silver plain one.
