Paul posted the project on TikTok and shared a clip on Twitter on December 26th. He took 15 Game Boy Colors, including the seemingly limited edition Pokémon– themed one and one dandelion yellow version and encased them in several pounds of epoxy. After Paul had positioned the consoles and covered them with gel, Paul covered the tabletop with a metal pokéball frame.
He posted as shorter follow-up video shows how the table lights up and changes its colors, from blue to purple to red to green and back again. It actually looks tight! It’s also a solid way to preserve some of the game’s history by repurposing something old into something artistic and functional.

Another said “Drowning” in Harz was not necessary for the project, while another noted that other methods – like a glass display – would have been “easier” and “forever customizable”.

No matter that Game Boy Colors are available on both Amazon and eBay, in addition to thrift stores, thrift stores, and the like. And it is certainly not the case that he can do what he wants with what he buys. God forbid.
