Iam a 14 year old female gamer. I have had one of these for about 1 year and a half and absolutely love  it! In the summer of 2000,I bought Pokemon Stadium for N64 because I had just taken an interest. I did not know you needed the gameboy games(pretty stupid of me,eh?). So we bought me a kiwi colored gameboy color(too bad they had no berry color,but kiwi is just as pretty!). Along with it,I gotmy first game,Pokemon Yellow. And boy was it more than I expected. I played it hours on end! I could not put it down! I took it everywhere,in the car,resterants,grandparents',etc etc etc. It really spiced upmy summer. I kept on sticking to Pokemon games but soon I discovered more great games such as Zelda and Harvest Moon plus tins of others. I even think I enjoy it more than any other console I own(me and my brother practicly own all the systems(gamecube,PS2,dreamcast,n64,etc,etc). The batteries last a good 20 hours or so too,which is great for traveling. Yes,the gameboy advance may be out there too,and i bought one of those,but I almost think that I enjoy this more. I think gameboy color games seem to be more addicting and there are a lot more out at the present. I think the gameboy color is cooler looking than the GBA! Another great feature is that you can plug headphones in so you can play with sound without disturbing other people. I have recently broke my poor kiwi gameboy by accidently dropping it on the floor. Well,I guess we must get another one. Just make sure not to drop it because the LCD screen can get messed up. i would recommend this to anybody wholoves video game and for ANY age! This will be fun for yers to come!!
