They didn’t stop being pocketable, there’s still plenty of (and i say this with much reservation) retro consoles out there in the second hand market for a decent price and the modding,/cfw/homebrew communities are thriving. I bought a 3ds not long ago and a psp a whole back to replace my stolen one, they fit in my purse or of I’m wearing the right skirt/pants they are pocketable.
