This is a really good resource on Game Boy modding and repair..
For my own Color I went with the Hispeedido/OneChip OLED kit. I'm happy with it. I recommend using NiMH rechargeable batteries with it. I get around 5 to 6 hours on two Eneloop Pro AA batteries.
Obligatory picture of the Boy.
As for the Pocket, you're probably going to have to cannibalize the part from another unit. I did a quick search on eBay and did see a few working LCDs for around $50 each. That isn't really a good price since it's possible to find a functional Pocket for around the same price. Though, it can be difficult to find one without screen cancer these days.
Oh wow I like how you tried to make Pikachus balls clickable. Its a bit off, I would've suggested using it as his nipples instead, but I like your vision. Great.
Yeah, and those polarizer layers are a total bitch on the Pocket. When mine goes, I'm just going to LCD it. Not dealing with that again.
