Wait, Pokémon Sapphire on the Game Boy Color? That’s… not how I remember it. The real Sapphire was a GBA game, but this looks like someone crammed Hoenn into a GBC-style demake—which is either a weird hack or just a straight-up bootleg. Either way, you’re getting pixelated Treeckos and a chiptune version of the soundtrack, which is honestly kind of charming if you’re into retro jank.

It plays like an old-school Pokémon game, just with way fewer colors and some awkward cuts to fit the hardware. Surfing across Route 110 feels like a slideshow, but hey, at least you can still get wrecked by Wattson’s Magnemite. If you’re curious about alternate-universe Pokémon history, this might scratch that itch. Just don’t expect it to replace your actual Emerald cartridge.
