Now let’s move from a failed console to two of the most successful handhelds of all time, the Nintendo Game Boy and DS. Their swan songs were multimillion-selling titles from the beloved Pokemon franchise.

Yellow Version introduced the feature of a companion Pokemon following you around and Black 2/White 2 introduced the Pokemon World Championship which let you battle gym leaders and champions from past titles.

Yellow was also the first game in the franchise that allowed you to get every starter Pokemon without requiring any trades.

They were both incredibly successful titles that gave the tens of millions of owners of both handhelds endless hours of Pokemon collecting fun.
