During today’s Pokemon Presents livestream, The Pokemon Company unveiled a special Game Boy-shaped musical device as part of its wider 30th anniversary celebrations. The demo, which was broadcast live around the world on Pokemon Day, included several series updates, but one of the most nostalgic showcases was a retro-style soundtrack player designed specifically for the original game.
This unique gadget is designed like a classic Game Boy and can play songs from Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue. It comes with 45 small interchangeable cartridges to match the 45 tracks included in the series. Each cartridge contains a song from the soundtrack and also has a corresponding image that appears on the device’s display while the music is playing. This added visual touch enhances the sense of nostalgia, allowing fans to relive moments from their original Pokemon journey in a hands-on way.
“We paid special attention to making the audio sound like Game Boy, so I hope you enjoy listening to it as you change cartridges,” “Pokemon Red and Blue” composer Junichi Masuda said during the livestream.

As of now, The Pokémon Company has not publicly confirmed the official retail price in a live announcement. Fans are encouraged to check the official store listing for the latest pricing details.
