In 1996 Nintendo shrank the Game Boy by about 30 percent, swapped four AA batteries for two AAA, and replaced the famous green screen with a sharper black-and-white display. The Game Boy Pocket arrived just in time for Pokémon Red and Green in Japan, and it is the slim, pocket-sized version that many kids carried to school every day.

A NOTE ON CHARACTER
Each piece is built from a real pre-owned device, so light scratches or small signs of age may show. We think they are part of its story.
03 / From the workbench
Made by hand in Los Angeles.
Behind the glass is something you rarely get to see: the inside of a Game Boy Pocket that once lived in someone’s hands, backpack or living room. Our studio members spend hours on each piece, from disassembly and cleaning to designing the layout and producing the final frame, all by hand in Los Angeles. We grew up with these devices, and every build is our way of giving a beloved piece of gaming history a second life.
