I assume you are running a ROM hack of some kind, because pretty sure Blue doesn't look that colorful on the GBC?

The first clue is that's not a real game boy

[–] pneumaticFax 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Real gameboy, but with an IPS screen mod, shell replacement too as the IPS screens are a little larger than the original requiring some cutting if you don’t. I did the same to my OG 1998 atomic purple GBC.

I’m skeptical this is even a real photo. Even with an IPS screen, you should still see moire patterns in the captured photo.

Its real. Everything that's been done to it is from FunnyPlaying.com

Yeah this is what I was thinking of, it definitely seems to fit the bill.

Yeah the entire game was shades of blue, except Lavender Town (IIRC), which was lavender.

The Super Gameboy for the SNES let you play Pokemon red and blue in color. It looked similar to the screenshot shown.

For Pokémon Blue the Super GameBoy definitely looks better than the GBC/GBA/GameBoy Player on GC, but not as good as what OP posted: https://youtu.be/U0xLy6-_570?si=IZl_jj3L0W8azS-i

Yeah this is definitely not vanilla Pokémon Blue, looks to me like Blue DX. Good Screen Mod though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

With backlight! Nice mod.

Shit that’s pretty

Beautiful GBC.
