But at the price of of my pocket, I can have 4 of them for the price of a prosound DMG
The DMG is better, but I am starting, and I think it will be okay for now... Right?
for 80$ you could get a backlit prosound dmg

If you prosound/backlight yourself, the price it pretty much the same. Think I actually payed less for my dmg than either of my pockets.
If you search hard enough a dmg could cost you 10$ clean it up yourself, throw in a 13.50$ backlight couple a bucks for shipping and for around 30$ its prosound, and backlit if you do it yourself

I would mess it up if i did it myself, I do not have any experience.
dont get me wrong, the DMG is better, and if I come across a good one at the right time; will buy one
you do have a point, but I still think the pocket is cool, and a good price for me to learn on; if i screw it up, its not a huge deal 
I also think that a prosound, backlit color could be a good option for me, personally. A 2nd gen SP would work too.
I also have a gameboy player for my gamecube that I love to use. any disaster stories with that?

This. It's what I recommend to anyone starting off. Even first gen ags-001 is fine.
I am waiting on 1.6 to get here!
I am going to start off with the pocket, and see how things go... I like the possibility of the gameboy player
I have a clear pocket, the only issue is those things use up batteries like no other, but the screens are fantastic and they're portable and light unlike my DMGs
I think they're cool, small, on the go...
however, i can run through 2AAA's in about 2hours.
It is backlit and pro-sound, not sure if that has something to do with that issue, but...
whateves.
I do prefer DMG for overall sound quality.
j.
I have a blue pocket, it's pretty awesome it was what I was going to backlight and prosound. Got that one for $15 But that plan backfired when I picked up a DMG from my neighborhood pawn chain store for $10.

Great link! Thank you
Though it does not help me feel great about the pocket's sound
They do have a thin sound. DMG is the nicest sound, but GBCs are a nice compromise. They are pretty small, they get pretty good bass after prosound, and they have a much faster cpu than DMG. Wizwars songs crash unless u run them on a GBC.
Oh yeah better battery life too.

This. Only an advance or sp can play my songs. All of my dmgs and mgbs slow down and crash. When I release my .savs I wonder how people will react.
lul. Yeah.
But, hey, at least you get the "minimalist appeal" on a pocket. Those limitations should create great art, wot wot?

That is mod is the juice.
Next step is put the sp'a rechargeable battery in there... But torn up inside because sp batt=600mAH vs 2xAAA=1100mAH, and the life of a single charge or set of batteries is what I really want to extend. Plus sp batt is lithium ion meaning in 5 years will be below 50% original capacity...
