Game Boy Advance (ゲームボーイアドバンス Gēmubōiadobansu) is Nintendo's 32-bit handheld gaming console that succeeded the Game Boy Color, released in 2001. With a significantly different design from its predecessors, it featured a powerful processor capable of displaying SNES-caliber graphics and even playing voices. Like the Game Boy and Game Boy Color, the Game Boy Advance is not region-locked.

The Game Boy Advance could also interact with the GameCube.

Medarot games[edit]

The Game Boy Advance is arguably the most notable console worldwide for Medarot games, being one of the two consoles to have releases outside Japan due to the anime's global popularity. While the console did not receive a completely new main game, it did feature Medarot 2 Core, a remake of the original Medarot 2, which was released in the West as "Medabots." Other titles on the Game Boy Advance are side-games with varied gameplay, including Medabots AX, a Western-exclusive release based on Medarot G. Shingata Medarot marks the last game in the franchise before its hiatus, making the Game Boy Advance the end of the first phase of the Medarot series.

Additionally, while Medarot 5 is a Game Boy Color title, it is one of the few dozen titles on the platform to have a compatibility flag for the GameBoy Advance. Playing it on a GBA changes the availability of certain parts and unlocks certain story events, including ones tied to the romance mechanic.
