Is bigger always better? Depends on the situation, but for bringing a portable gaming system on a flight, generally not. But did that stop Instagram users whats_paige_making. and nickbuildstuff from constructing this 5-foot working replica of a Pokemon Special Edition Game Boy Color? Nope. A lot of things would have stopped me. Namely, motivation and building skill. The final result does look glorious though. It also looks like a lot of arm work to play. And you know how I feel about moving my arms. “The less the better.” If they aren’t wings I can use to fly I ain’t flapping them. “What’s your doctor think of that?” He just shakes his head sadly when I ask him to undress me.

Keep going for a video demo, as well as some of the construction. More details and videos on Paige’s Instagram here.
