Huh? I thought there was a bump out on the GBC cartridge that prevented you from inserting it into a Game Boy? Also the notch cut out of the corner that prevents the power switch from operating. Am I mis-remembering?
The original large gameboys had a lock that utilized the slot via the power switch. The pocket removed the lock therefore allowing the non slotted Color games to be used in a pocket gameboy.
I forgot the Gameboy Pocket existed
Japan also got Game Boy Light, which is a Game Boy Pocket with green EL backlighting (like Indiglo).
