Game Boy Advance

The Game Boy Advance was the third and final iteration of the Game Boy and introduced Shoulder Buttons to the design. It was more powerful, allowing for 16 bit colours and more intricate games.. It also had backwards compatibility with all Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles. Its first interaction with the Pokémon franchise was with Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire, the first games of the third generation.

The Game Boy Advance SP was a clamshell variant of the Game Boy Advance. It shifted the screen to be on its own in a foldable area with the buttons brought closer together. The screen of the Game Boy Advance SP also was frontlit, with a backlit variant released later

The Game Boy Micro was a small variant of the console, offering a small screen and buttons so it could fit in any pocket. The device allowed for multiple different faceplates so it could be styled to taste. Unlike the other Game Boy Advance models, it cannot play Game Boy or Game Boy Color titles nor use any peripherals including link cables

The Game Boy Player was an additional peripheral that acted as a Game Boy Advance when plugged into a Nintendo Gamecube, allowing you to play Game Boy Advance games on the television.
