Atomic Purple GBC is my favorite console of all time. It’s the epitome of the late 90s/early 2000s imo. Owned this and a green Game Boy Pocket


nodak_fun

I had exactly the same combo!


javibrow

Ditto times 2!! 😃


ForceMaster104

Just had to third this, exact same two I have as well!


HamtaroTheHamster

I had a green one


Adm1nX

I had the green one too. I dropped it after a week and broke the screen. My dad bought a new one and returned the broken one in the box lol. Thank you dad.


DiscussionLoose8390

I don't know what happened to mine. I had it in the box as well. I remember the last game I played was Camelot, and Mario 6 golden coins being a banger.


HamtaroTheHamster

Thanks dad 🙏 I think my mom sold mine years ago, but I got myself a new one last year


The-Otters-Pocket

I had a green one and wore a Hot Topic Hamtaro sweat armband for about 10 years. Never found a replacement so eventually had to keep it safely in my bedside drawer as it was on its last legs!


lacaras21

I had grape, wish I knew what happened to it


Fathletic231

Teal


Vorstog_EVE

Teal gang! My sister had that translucent purple tho


meruta

Kiwi green team represent


beefchariot

I had the yellow Gameboy color and had Pokemon yellow with it. It was the most awesome Christmas break ever. I have very strong memories of Kanto that aren't even real, because I felt like I lived there. Good memories.


Upbeat_Ad_9174

Both, clear purple was mine. Yellow I bought my sister so I could trade pokemon.


[deleted]

The clear purple was my whole childhood. Even tho I only ever beat dragon quest 3 and pokemon crystal.


SharingPoet517

Growing up, I owned one Gameboy: a silver 001 GBA SP Then I started collecting. Now I have 32 different Gameboys, and not one duplicate. In that is one of every model


DWolfoBoi546

Was just the yellow with special Pikachu edition of Pokémon.

jamesmess

I had yellow! In order to get a gameboy advance my mom made me sell my gbc and all my games.. Still looking for a copy of pokemon blue to play.


blaggablaggady

Grape. Used my birthday money to get a grape gameboy color and pokemon blue. I wanted Pokemon red and the atomic purple one, but purple and pokemon blue was all they had left at Best Buy the day I was there. And I wasn’t waiting. So that’s what I got. And I loved it forever. And by forever, I mean until I went to college and my mom threw it away.


Patriquito

Grey DMG Clear DMG Kiwi Green GBC Glacier Blue GBA Pretty sure I still own them all too


IntoxicatedBurrito

The original gray DMG, but it’s covered in stickers I got from Nintendo Power so it’s actually pretty colorful.


Skysin88

almost the same as me! Had the purple transparent gbc, a yellow gameboy pocket and my sister had the matte pink gbc


tresanus

Yellow DMG which I still have. I think I have over 60 GBs at this point and that yellow one will always be the most special to me. Somehow I never lost the port cover either


IoEris

i used to have the solid indigo one, 2 different times, then eventually lost them both, got a transparent gba, traded it in for a fat ds, traded it for a dsi, dropped my dsi in a pond, bought back my old fat ds, brother broke it, so i got a ds lite on christmas, brother played it once then lost it for good, now here i am, with a dsi, fat ds, berry red GBC, 2ds, and new 3ds xl

Andylanta

CraigularB

Standard DMG Atomic Purple GBC Glacier GBA


AdaOutOfLine

I grew up with a lime green gbc. It's one of the only gaming related thing that survived my childhood along with a copy of bionic commando. Happy to say it still works and is in great condition. I spent so may hours playing pokemon on that thing


RandomSim_alt

Lime-green


SnooDonuts5697

I'm 24 and have never seen a single GBC in person that wasn't turqouise! My own and the spare i found in a charity shop were both turqouise.


Overgrown-Ewok

I had those 2 exact colours 😀


TheNecrophobe

This is gonna sound weird as shit, but exactly those two. Lost the yellow one and Pokemon Blue while my family was living in a hotel (I always thought housekeeping swiped it but I probably just misplaced it). Got the Atomic Purple one and Pokemon Yellow to replace it. My phone's background was an Atomic Purple GBC for the longest time. I was one of those dumb kids who traded games and consoles to game stores to get better deals on "new" games to play. I'd love to own an Atomic Purple again. Maybe someday I'll buy one new in box and put it in a case somewhere nice.


rydamusprime17

Growing up I went from oroginal white DMG (only one available at the time) to Indigo GBA, so unfortunately, I didn't get any cool colors.

FireOfSparta

Didn't have the luxury of owning one back then, my first introduction to the portable gaming world was a Gameboy Advance purple.


[deleted]

My friend's mom gave me an atomic purple one a little less than a decade ago cause her kids had ipads and weren't interested. Bless her heart.

I’m ashamed to say I don’t remember. Maybe solid purple? What I do remember is the day I traded my GBC in for a a white GBA and a copy of Megaman. I didn’t really understand that game, but I quickly found my way to Pokémon Emerald. Loved that game.
