The RAREST GameBoy I Have Ever Seen! (2000 Made) 

15+ Hours of research went into this video. Huge thank you to Alex for the translations and Sendico for making this happen. I REALLY hope you enjoy this video!!! Sendico - bit.ly/2uH5yJk

The ironic thing about it glowing in the dark is that you can't even see the screen in the dark

-Glows in the dark -Still no backlight

"Dude, I won a glow-in-the-dark handheld from Nintendo!" "Tubular, homie, let's play it in the dark so we can watch it glow while we play!" "Yeah, about that..."

- What's so special about it? - It's green.

Well it’s a mystery, but at least you have one of the coolest pockets in the world now! Nice video!

*I'M SO EXCITED* **show no emotion**

Hey I care about the mouse.

I care about the Apple mouse! 🥰 (Also: it’s “genki” like gecko. You shoulda asked Alex! He did a great job. 😉)

-Ah yes, we're gonna make this one special! -How special? -You know the Game Boy doesn't glow right? You know people complain they can't see it in the night right? -Oh, you want to commission Game Boys with backlit screens? -What? I mean the Game Boys that glow, not screens that glow! -Oh. Oh...

Fantastic vid man, thank you so much for going the extra mile and helping re-piece together Game Boy history!

" hey siri" 😪 "go away"

i love all glow in the dark stuff, i wish they'd do something like this with the newer consoles

1:42 Ah yes. My favourite emo band My Remical Chomance

Hey, I actually have one of these! Thanks for doing all that research. It's awesome to learn more about it!

Japan really cherish their collectibles and I'm here for it.

Great job on this one bro! I can't wait to hear the full story later on. You really have something special!

Fair play the ONLY sponsor I’m actually going to go ahead and use!!! U LEGEND!

Within hours of the posting of this video - Nintendo announces the all-new Glow-in-the-Dark Switch Lite!

As if your content already wasn't epic enough, now we get to see this. Amazing job man! 👍

Very cool Elliot! Thank you for sharing this with all of us.

This is instantly my new favorite official Gameboy colorway. The Pocket is so under-rated, but at the time, it was a huge step up from the DMG in every aspect. People honk a lot about it not having a backlight, but Nintendo tried that with the GB Light and the screen kinda sucked and ate batteries. The backlit handhelds of the time were the same way. It just wasn't possible at the time to be cheap, power efficient, and backlit. The high contrast screen on the pocket made a big difference, and I played many night time hours with just a small worm light attachment. I still look forward to someone figuring out a 1:1 OLED mod for the Pocket with crisp blacks like the Arduboy. The trick will probably be getting 4 shades out of it.

Elliot, I think this is probably the most exciting video in your channel so far. I hope you can find any information about the origin of this GBC. Also I think it should be interesting to have a video in your channel showing how to preserve a console in good shape, how to storage it. Congratulations from Argentina

My goodness that is beautiful. This is on my most wanted list. Very cool, man!

Great video as always, this is so amazing, very interesting rare gameboy pocket. I'd love to see more information about the Medarot campaign.

the shade of green you are using is one of the most beautiful colours i have ever seen and it was a genius idea to use it for your channel.

Glad you purchased such a cool looking Gameboy! The color and condition is magnificent!

Great job on this one dude. The Apple Mouse was pretty cool - perfect condition too! Thanks for all the hard work you put into your content!! 💜👌🏼

that gameboy is so crazy. the lack of uv pigment in it while it was locked away. showed up like crazy when you took it out. it slowly turned from a ugly green to a briliant lime green within seconds taken out the box. super cool!

This is so freaking cool! I thought you would say how much you had to spend to get this extremely rare Game Boy. Anyway great video and looking forward for the next video about this console/

Cool video, cool find. AND, even though you put a lot of research and it wasn't quite what you had, it was still very interesting to learn.

I really love these videos. So informative for a nerdy 90s gamer like me!

We can really see your excitement :D Cheers to you Eliot!

This is really really cool I thought I saw an ad for one of these before. It reminds me of the famitsu GameBoys. There was a pocket and a light variant. And each was also limited to a very small production run. I have a famitsu gb light and its my favorite gameboy by far.

This thing is gorgeous. Awesome score Elliot!

I am so jealous. I have wanted one of those for years but they are so out of my price range. Congrats on obtaining one.

Really nice job bro!!! congrats!!

Really enjoyed this video, keep it up!

Love the excitement in the video! This is such a cool item

Stunning piece of history Elliot!

Another great video dude 🤙🏻

Hello Elliot!!! Excellent job on the research!I have one of these too, but console only no box and relatively discoloured. Cant wait to see a video about the pri cla atlus edition gameboy pocket one day. Thats probably even rarer that this one and in my opinion the prettiest gameboy pocket ever. Also a famitsu gameboy light please. :D

Another great video. Can i ask how many Gameboys you own now???

What a beautiful machine😍😍 good on you mate

Wow! This is crazy, I've never heard about these gameboy pockets before.

Great video and what a cool Gameboy!

Very cool Elliot! You deserve it man :)

Just found out this gameboy exists. You did an awesome job dude!

Another great video. Love the content

You legit set off my Siri when you said “Hey Siri” I was like what the hell man 😂

Maybe it was a golden ticket like thing with the Medarot game, where a select number of copies contained a survey page that you would need to send in to get the Game Boy? I'm not sure, just spitballing here XD Eitherway, really cool video! Never knew this existed!

Nice score, awesome video!

Medarot was released the same year 1997 but in November, where MRC was in July. So clearly the campaigns can't have happened at the same time, because you clearly stated the first competition would end in September. So it seams fair to reason that after the competition of MRC ended in September it was clear to Genki they had a surplus of these Game Boys and decided to do a campaign with Medarot. However unless something has been lost in translation, the Medarot campaign doesn't have to have been a competition as well, could also have been done with early orders of Medarot. The best chance we have of knowing about this is probably getting somebody fluent in Japanese to look through gaming magazines that contained information on Medarot from October and November of 1997. Maybe both were equally planned but based on information on the first campaign being so much more abundant insinuates to me that the second might have been done briefly to get the rest of the stock out.

Well, this is amazing! Regarding Sendico? My paranoid brain is asking questions ... I've seen some very cheap stuff there. Were those the prices on eBay not too long ago?

Definitely going to need part two if you are able to find more information about this

“Hey siri , go away” My siri boxes at home “ahuh okay” Me starteld almost to dead 😂

4:45 For a second I though he said “I’m really excited to crap on to this box” 😂🤣

Dammmn, I saw it on eBay few weeks ago... Savage.

I love that he is telling people that they shouldn't take everything as fact in a sponsored video, I love this channel.

Really interesting search with a surprise ending!

this was awesome to watch and now i really want to know what that first item was!

Oooooo.. Loving the radioactivity and eerie glow. Do you know about the exclusive Spanish Orange Drink Gameboy Colour?

I don't know about sendico specifically, but a lot of those auction+mail forwarding sites will receive the item and repackage it better before sending it on.

Whenever I order anything from Japan it's always packed beautifully! I'm actually excited about that Mac Mouse btw ☺

If I had a company and were sponsoring a youtuber, after all this cautions, I'd end the contract immediately. Awesome video, as always.

I appreciate you thanking my mum at the end of the video 😊

Love the matt finish on this!

Dang man, while I am not a huge fan of gameboys, I can appreciate the enthusiasm for one. Especially one as expensive as this. Rare too, that's important.

Epic video! Just a quick one how much or what did you choose at the shipping from sendico..?

I would say you could put in a drop in backlight kit, but I wouldn't want to even think about modifying this beauty.

If only this wasn't so limited that colour is the nicest I've seen on a GB

Man, I had a gameboy when I was in the army back in 92, it was great for down time.

Another Excellent Video ✌️😎👍✨💛

The intro song is called 'David Cutter Music - Statement' btw guys

Such a cool video. Different but nonetheless familiar. Please let us know if you get more information on the Medarot Imagineer giveaway!!!

Very cool 👍😎. Wish I had kept my old game boy+games. Ho well

Outstanding video.

Is that a crack on the bottom right of the screen lens at 9:58???

Wow, now that is a collection piece! Only 1,999 to go!

I love getting into a box and finding out the flaps are still strong.

Amazing vids keep it up

Here it is we’ve been waiting for hours yey finally

Amazing stuff I wish u could make more like this

I'd like to have one of these Gameboys in my collection. This is really nice looking Gameboy Pocket. I've got a old Macintosh Mouse in my Apple collection. Those are really cool.

You should make a replica of this... But using the GBC's hardware specs, a backlit transflective screen, and using a 3D printed case using LIT glow-in-the-dark pigment.

One idea for a video: You could show your collection. Would be very interesting :)

That is super cool! My most wanted console is the Astro boy GB Light but they be pricey. I also really want the Daiei hawks N64. I do have the controller just not the control deck

I just picked up the transparent Extreme Green with all of the correct stickers on it, but no box. Bought it in USA from a guy in Canada. Pretty cool system that's hard to find.

You got one of them super secret rates! I imagine that these were intended to be a part of unique giveaway that never happened. It possibly could be because, they produced more than they needed for the first giveaway, and did not have quite enough for the second giveaway. Who knows!

Looks so good bro

That’s a fantastic looking Gameboy Pocket!

The system looks amazing, never seen a glow in the dark one. Also your friend is brilliant, you should send him a modded system or something for all the hard work!

Knowing its from a medarot competition makes it cooler imo. Would actually like to own one

These videos are the BEST

If you want that thing to glow like its radioactive shine a UV/blacklight on it. It only takes a few seconds to supercharge the glowing effect on phosphorescent materials with one.

I dont really know how i landed from japanese cars to here but really like the video! Anyways, gotta search for my old gameboy now :D

Hey I know a lot of people are joking about it being glow in the dark and yet you cant see the screen, but hey wouldn't it be cool to make a back light mod. It would probably not be worth it considering how expensive these are, but in theory, very interesting idea!

Can't wait to hear where the story goes with this

the medabots rpgs are sooooooooo good, so much fun, the comedy is great, 5/5 italian chefs kiss

You got Genki right the first time. The Spirit Bomb, an attack Goku learned from King Kai in Dragon Ball Z, is actually named Genki Dama in the original Japanese version. Genki can mean energy, health, pep or original spirit, among other things.
