The original model does not have an illuminated screen Nintendo addressed that with the release of a redesigned model with a frontlit screen, the Game Boy Advance SP, in 2003. The GBA is part of the sixth generation of video game consoles. It was released in Japan on March 21, 2001, in North America on June 11, 2001, in the PAL region on June 22, 2001, and in mainland China as iQue Game Boy Advance on June 8, 2004. You can get batteries pretty easily, but you have to solder a new one in, which can potentially ruin the cart if you're not careful.The Game Boy Advance ( GBA) is a 32-bit handheld game console developed, manufactured and marketed by Nintendo as the successor to the Game Boy Color. The battery only affects time related events, like berry plants growing, clocks telling time and other small events that can sometimes leave you without items you might want. The games are old, released originally in 2004, and the game's clock runs off a battery that is most likely dried up by now. I really only have one major con to these games:

The music for these games is also incredible and pre tty unique even compared to the newest Pokemon games. Right away the world is beautiful and only gets better as you explore the region.

You're headed to a new town, fresh off the moving truck and you find yourself neighbors with the region's Pokemon Professor and their kid, who will be either a boy or girl depending on what you chose when you started.

It's also fully compatible with both Ruby and Sapphire, as well as FireRed and LeafGreen, so you can trade and battle with all 5 games.Ī big draw to the gba games was the updated graphics compared to the previous games. The 3rd generation of games in the series had Ruby and Sapphire versions, Emerald taking the best of both games and mashing them into one cart. Pokemon Emerald version is the definitive pokemon game for the gameboy advanced.
