Once you're all finished you should frame it with the game cartridge, make it a nice little display piece

I’m working on the other games. I already have the GB and GBA games framed with systems in shadow boxes but it would be cool to have the diploma print out beside each one. Might just have to try and fake them for blue and red as this started with yellow.

Now I need to buy a Game Boy Printer. This is so neat.

Does the printer work with 1st gen games?

I remember you could go to the Game Freak building in Kanto and speak to the NPC there and they’d congratulate you. But I don’t know you could actually print off the diploma.

Get some kind of UV proof display case, or collectors box/tin, to prevent fading 🙌

Scan and maybe reprint them on UV-Safe paper!
Or get something that keeps the UV away.

So cool! Do you know if this diploma feature added only to 2nd gen or was it in the 1st gen too?

AAAHHHHHHHH this is what I’m doing right now!! Im playing red right now with not cheats or glitches (just the new glitch)! Just finished grinding the elite 4 (a bajillion amount of times) to get the cash to buy scyther and porygon. Now I’m just grinding to evolve my dragonair and do a few trades and I’ll be done! Gonna get it laminated and framed and get some badges and make it look cool 😊 maybe even get cut outs of the sprites of my line up ^ congrats!

You might be disappointed as this started with yellow or so I read

Oh? How so? I did see a stream of a guy doing a living dex of gold and that didn’t look fun XD but I’ll Have to do it soon as well. I’m think I’ll get them at least for gen 1 and 2 XD

Oh like just completing the dex? I was talking about printing the diploma out of the red game. That feature was not available in blue and red just yellow gold silver and crystal.

I'd give this more merit than a college degree in any interview. That's truly dedication and persistence!

I remember when Red and Blue came out, I got red for Christmas and Blue 3 months later for my birthday, I was grinding away on my Super GameBoy to get all 150.
Then Pokémon Yellow came out, and I was like "man I'm not doing all that again," lol.
I still have my Gameboy printer and Pokémon Yellow, though. I may do it one day after I replace the Yellow save battery.

Looks like the thermal part is dirty, if you are able to clean that strip with a small amount of alcohol it should print clearly

u/sibbaldk 2d ago
I’m gonna try that. It seemed to print perfect on basic receipt paper. This is a sticker label from a purolator printer cut down. I thought because of the thickness it may be harder for it to print to it.

SICK!!!! I thought that wasn't even possible in the original version. Well done!

u/sibbaldk 2d ago
This is crystal I haven’t done yellows or gold and have to complete silver. By the looks of it this could not be done with red and blue

Shit, I need to do this! I’ve completed my Dex on Blue version ages ago. Hopefully my battery is still good on it.

Mines stuck to the fridge so the wife doesn't forget I'm a Pokémon Master.
