Game Boy (ゲームボーイ Gēmubōi), Nintendo's iconic handheld console, was first released in 1989. It stands as the second best-selling handheld console of all time, surpassed only by its successor, the Nintendo DS. Notably, like all systems in the Game Boy family, it is not region-locked. Gunpei Yokoi is recognized for his pivotal role in the Game Boy's development and launch.

Medarot games[edit]

The Game Boy was the birth console for several Pokémon-like franchises, including the Medarot series. It's especially known for containing games starring Hikaru Agata's era.

Some Game Boy Color games are compatible with the Game Boy, suffering a color downgrade but gaining special borders if used on the Super Game Boy.
