ポケットモンスター 赤 - ニンテンドーゲームボーイ

The cartridge fit snugly into my old Game Boy on the first try—no wiggling or needing to blow on it. Having the original 151 Pokémon to catch feels like pure nostalgia, and the save battery still holds my progress after hours of play.

Finally found a copy that looks exactly like the one I played as a kid—the cartridge's label is still crisp and the contacts are clean. It boots up perfectly on my original Game Boy and even saved my progress after a few hours of play.

The save battery still holds after all these years, which is huge for a cartridge this old. Booted it up on my Game Boy and the opening music hit me right in the nostalgia, no issues with the pins or anything.
