Pocket Love (Japan) is one of those obscure little Game Boy dating sims from the late '90s that somehow slipped under most people's radars. Made by KID Corp—yeah, the same folks behind later visual novels—it's got that classic pixelated charm where you're basically trying to win over anime girls with awkwardly translated dialogue.

You start off picking between a few different girls, each with their own weirdly specific personalities (one's super shy, another's way too energetic, you know the drill). The gameplay's pretty basic—walk around town, pick dialogue options, hope you don't say something that makes them hate you forever. It's janky in that old-school way where sometimes the choices make zero sense, but that's half the fun.

Honestly, it's not deep, but there's something oddly endearing about its clunky little world. If you're into retro dating sims, this one's a weird time capsule.
