How do you all play your Pokémon games? Still have your old gameboys, or do you go the emulator route? And if so, which emulator is your fave?

On console. I'm an old lol. But emulators are great because they have romhacks!

I only really have consoles for the newer games, emulate for the older ones.

Emulation doesn't really work well for the DS games. But thankfully I managed to nab Pokémon Y, SM, and USUM!

I like the feel of console better. 

I would like to let people know that you can play romhacks on your consoles if you know how. For example, I've got pokemon Crystal Clear on my 3Ds running through the Virtual Console thing they have and it works so well.

I mostly play on emulators lately!  I'd love to play on a DS Lite because of the colors and stylus makes the Pokeathlon minigames on HGSS easier than with mouse I think, hahah!  I use melonDS, which lets me use the WFC features using KaeruDNS :)  I have good memories from playing Pokémon Crystal on a GBA SP too

Emulation for the first five (maybe six) gens but from that point onward do consoles.

I've got every mainline Pokémon game up to gen 5 so I don't have much need for emulation
