I caught all 150 pokemon in pokemon blue.

150 pokemon pokedex

An odd and seemingly meaningless goal, but one of several that I always dreamed of completing as a kid. It wasn’t particular challenging, more time consuming but something that was always out of reach as a child.

I’ve had a gameboy colour sitting in a box for years, but they aren’t fun devices to use. The lack of a nice backlight has made it a depressing experience.

So for a couple of years I’ve been looking at the long waiting lists of the Analouge Pocket but it’s always been out of reach. Either out of stock, not shipping to the UK or with waiting lists of 6 months or more. But now a days they are shipping devices like the Anbernic RG35XX on amazon for as low as £50-60. It’s been a great device for playing some of my old favourties.

Catching all 150 without a link cable for trading was the main concern, however I discoverd this really cool ROM mod on github called redstarbluestar that allows for catching them all on a single cartridge.

1 childhood goal down.
