Cheap/easy way to play Pokemon game boy games? (alien.top)

I’m not even sure this is the correct sub for this.. but hopefully someone can help me out. My daughter is very much into Pokemon, and basically is at a perfect age to be introduced to one of the greatest games of all time, red, blue, or yellow (she loves pikachu). I would love to give her a gameboy or if there’s a cheaper handheld way to play? The problem is, I don’t know if she will like it so I don’t want to spend $200 just for her to reject the game… any advice?

My other half has a copy of Pokémon blue, but she didn't want me fucking with the save game so I went and bought a reproduction. Looks great, plays great too - only about $10.

If you don't have original hardware, you're a bit goosed unless you consider the backwards compatible Game Boy Advance.

You may be better off with ROMs and phone emulators instead.
