Conker's Pocket Tales is an adventure video game released by Rare for the Game Boy Color in June 1999 that stars Conker as he tries to rescue his girlfriend Berri from the Evil Acorn, who has kidnapped her in addition to stealing his birthday presents.

The game features a dual-format cartridge that serves as both a Game Boy and Game Boy Color game. The gameplay is presented from an overhead perspective where players control Conker the Squirrel. Originally developed in conjunction with Twelve Tales: Conker 64, Pocket Tales shared the same direction and theme as its Nintendo 64 counterpart until Twelve Tales was reworked into the drastically-more mature Conker's Bad Fur Day. As a result, the game is remarkably different from Bad Fur Day in spirit and style, being more lighthearted and child-friendly in nature.

This is the only known game to be released as a rated E Conker game starring Conker, excluding Diddy Kong Racing which has Conker as a minor playable character who later became replaced by Tiny Kong in the remake.

Story[edit | edit source]

"Surprise!" Cheered Berri and friends as Conker stared speechlessly at the mountain of presents before him. "Happy Birthday, Conker!"

He thanked them heartily, jumping up and down as he eyed the stash of gifts.

"Hold on," said Berri, stepping between the squirrel and his birthday hoard. "There's something else you have to do first..." She gave a whistle, and in came a trolley bearing the biggest birthday cake Conker had ever seen.

"Wow, Berri! This is great!" he exclaimed.

But Berri was frowning. "Hang on," she said suspiciously, "this isn't the one I made..."

Suddenly the fake cake burst open with a crash. A bulky figure sprang up from the wreckage, cackling as it landed amidst the presents and started gathering them up for itself.

"Hey!" Berri squealed angrily at the intruder. "What do you think you're...Yikes!"

Quick as a flash, their uninvited guest turned on Berri and grabbed her under one arm, even as it turned to flee with its haul of goodies.

"Conker!" came Berri's suddenly-panicked voice.

But by the time Conker had pushed through the stunned crowd and made it to the door, the Evil Acorn and his captive were nowhere to be seen...
