I mostly play the 3rd gen games on my GBA SP. But it's power has been getting low lately, so I have been using my DS as well.

I like to play it on my ds as well. The sp is just too small for me now for some reason o_O Plus then its easier as i can choose between my ds and my gba game whenever i'm in the mood to play :)

I play on the Gameboy Advance, it helps my game play better.

I usually play them on my DS, but sometimes I use my GBA SP.
I also use my regular GBA when I need to trade.

I only play my 3rd Gen games on my DS, unless I need to trade and for that I will just use some old GBA systems.

I used to replay all the time my Emerald version, but now I have a DSi and no DS lite so I can´t anymore, good times indeed

Let's go to the beach, each.
I have a regular Game Boy Advance and a Game Boy Advance SP, but I prefer to play the Generation 3 games on my Nintendo DS console. I only use the Game Boy Advance consoles when I'm trying to trade Pokemon from one game to another since that can only be done on those consoles.

DS lite, DS, GBA SP. I prefer the SP the most.

Hmmm......

Well... I originally had a GBA SP so that is what I am used to. I have now got a DS and sometimes I play on that. The thing is, the DS has an unused upper screen when you play the game, making it look sort of empty. Also, once you get used to the GBA controls, it is much easier. So, I would say GBA, SP if you have. Hope this Helped! ;)
