bought your membership just to watch this video. Im here for the pokemon content bro keep running it up. Been loving it, you got me so hyped to restart my soulsilver game on the ds that I haven't touched in over a decade. Working on getting a Shiny lugia as we speak and your vids are great while im soft resetting. The shiny rayquaza is keeping me motivated for Lugia!

Thanks again bro, love your content.

I've been trying to get this for so long the restocks are atrocious

[dragonspin-gsrf]

Been watching videos from both your channels love your content keep it up!

The screen alone is what makes this device so tempting for me to get when they restock. I've got an AGS-101 that I've customized with different buttons and a new shell as my main device, but man. This things screen is so crisp and clear. It's enticing me like a siren lmao.

[Clooger-]

I wouldn't get one because I have a modded SP, but it would be an enticing option if I had nothing to play on. Cool device

[joshtobin]

I've just been playing on a DS lite and its been great. Changing the shells and rebuilding it has been a very rewarding experience, throw in wireless trading and exploring the SD option with r4 cards, long battery life, LCD screens and the price point. Its been my overall choice.

After listening to your review. I'd honestly say the Analog Pocket isn't worth it. I think modding a GB Advance is the best option. And is a lot cheaper depending on how much you mod. With more customization options than the AP.

And you can mod a hdmi out on the advance to capture gameplay. Or record from you camera with a more comfortable feel than both the AP or SP.

[stevenstone]

For $220 I'd want the buttons to feel like the best buttons I've ever pressed. I want every click to be satisfying. I want to feel like I'm holding the Rolex of portable game consoles. Doesn't look like it to me, I'll stick to my SP. Nice video!

[babaawawu]

Your video is like ASMR. It's probably the background music. Lol. I like it

I bought my pocket around the beginning of the year and I love it it’s my everyday carry so if your worried about the durability, mine goes everywhere in my pocket it’s taken bumps and bruises and with no real problems. I hyper fixate through the power warning all the time I’ve lost tons of progress on cartridges and roms but never a save. And emulating on it is about as good as humanly possible. There are forsure cheaper ways to play this stuff but if you love handheld gaming I think it’s pretty close to perfect

6/30/2024 I made an error in this video. I was able to trade between my Fire Red and Emerald game using a pocket and GBA SP with a link cable. I am unsure why it would not let me do it before I made this video.

[RolandKoller]

I have an og SP101, a dsiXL and an analogue pocket. The analogue pocket is definitely worth it. One thing I wish was that the buttons have less travel. That’s all. I got a glow in the dark cartridge cover also.

[backoftheclass]

I’ve had my analog pocket for about a year now and absolutely love it. The only thing I despise about it is the D-pad. Pushing right for some reason has a weird dead zone and I know not all analog pockets suffer from this. But unfortunately, mine does. It doesn’t happen all the time, but it is still really annoying.

[Mikehero_]

I have an Anbernic, which I love, but I can see a Pocket being a great way to play physical carts on a modern device (especially with link cable support). Shame about it randomly deleting saves..

[elunicolu]

I have the same feelings about the dpad, they should have gone with something like the Vita dpad

[gandalfdengra]

For the price, especially outside of the US (paid about double the price to get it shipped to the EU), it isn't worth it.
Got both a modded SP and pocket, only thing which is only slightly superior is the screen. If we get an OLED screen mod for the SP anytime soon, as it is now available for GBC, there really isn't a reason to get a pocket.

[unbrokenhaunter]

Hoping these are back in stock soon. Bought an Epilogue GBOperator to play my games on my computer in the meantime

[MemeJuiceVids]

I play gba games with a ds lite and I like it. Anyway I got an adamant ditto with max attack iv and modest ditto with max special attack iv. There other stat ivs are real good too. Took me like 10 hours of catching for both of these

[alfredtorres]

My main console is a modded GBA
Just picked up a gba sp AGS 101 for trading purposes
And then I picked up an analogue pocket but it’s hard to justify it since I have the other stuff and I love playing on the GBA.

[JayyFromJupiter]

New to the channel just wanted to say love the vids and I’m definitely keeping up w the battle frontier progress.

Quick question, if I wanted to get back into playing Pokémon emerald & fire red, where is my best bet to get the games? Or w this analog pocket can you just download the games onto it?
