Tokimeki Memorial Pocket - Sport Hen - Koutei no Photograph (Japan) (GBC)

Tokimeki Memorial Pocket - Sport Hen - Koutei no Photograph is a dating and life simulation game for the Game Boy Color, part of the renowned Tokimeki Memorial series. In this game, players assume the role of a high school boy, with the primary goal of improving personal stats, engaging in extracurricular activities, especially sports, and building relationships with various female students to find love before graduation.

Gameplay revolves around managing the character's weekly schedule. Players choose activities such as studying, sports training, part-time jobs, or resting to boost various stats like intelligence, physical fitness, art, fashion, etc. These stats not only affect the character's performance in exams or sports competitions but also determine whether specific girls can be attracted.

The 'Sport Hen' emphasis is on sports clubs and activities. Players can join different sports clubs, train to improve skills, and compete in tournaments. Success in sports can increase popularity and attract the attention of female students. Special sports events will also occur, providing opportunities for interaction and relationship development.

Interacting with female students is a core element. Players will meet them at school, in clubs, or through random events. By talking, asking them out on weekend dates, and giving gifts, you will increase their 'affection' points. Attention must be paid to the 'bomb meter' if too many girls are neglected, which can lead to negative consequences. The ultimate goal is to receive a confession from your favorite girl under the legendary tree on graduation day.

While the subtitle 'Koutei no Photograph' (Emperor's Photograph) might suggest a photography element or a specific event related to a character referred to as 'Emperor', the main focus remains the blend of dating simulation and sports activities.
