Hardware enthusiasts are pushing the 2025 device beyond its intended limits to run Pokémon Gold and Silver.
The modding community surrounding the Tamagotchi fandom is expanding the capabilities of the Tamagotchi Paradise, a device released in 2025. According to reporting from Engadget, users are now modifying the hardware to run Game Boy titles.
Engadget highlights a Reddit user, markivino, who shared videos and photos of two customized Paradise devices running Pokémon Gold and Silver. Markivino noted in a comment that the games are playable and that the two devices can even be connected to trade Pokémon. Additionally, another modder identified as u/DuckBrush shared an image of a White Glacier Tamagotchi Paradise running the title Tamagotchi for Game Boy.
While Engadget notes that the Tamagotchi Paradise received mixed reactions from consumers upon its launch, the device's unexpected moddability may provide a new incentive for owners who were previously underwhelmed by the model. This latest wave of modifications follows a history of community customizations, including the creation of custom shells and the emulation of older models through contemporary hardware.
