There is apparently some support on the Miyoo systems, which they've added a function for in their custom firmware specifically designed for Pokemon. It's pretty neat, it basically runs two copies of the game in the background on each system simultaneously, and then does the netplay thing between devices on top of that. But that's the only implementation I was able to find, in my research.
Basically, make sure to research it before picking this up for specifically that purpose.
A PSA for anybody considering one of these:
If you don't have technical knowhow, you will have a bad time. Most people who own these suggest the first thing you do is toss the stock SD cards, format, partition and flash a linux OS like ARKOS onto a new one (make sure you buy one that's actually compatible). There are guides, but these things are not as user friendly as a gameboy.
That said, if you are willing to put in the work these are a pretty amazing value.

For example. The Retroid Pocket Flip had issues of failing hinges due to shrinking plastic that cracked around a metal pin. There were dozens of posts about it on reddit and discords. Even the one that I bought had a cracked hinge that developed within days.
If the batteries were a widespread issue we would hear more about it. And even more so with this one since it is just $60 vs $250 like the flip.

It's hard to say from a data point of one whether there is likely a design issue or a fluke part failure. Certainly the lack of customer support is irritating from anerbic.
There have been like 3 people reporting that their device device overheated and melted/damage. Nobody knows the reason. Could be isolated incident due to manufacture QC, or individual using inappropriate charging.
Use your own judgement. Don't buy if you are too scared lol
