I had a white one, and got that Super Dodgeball Advance game (because I thought it was going to be super awesome). It was OK, but way too bare-bones for me. I never bought a single GBA game after that, and sold it after it gathered dust for about two years (give or take a few times playing FFL1 on it).
Of course when I got a computer good enough to emulate the GBA, I was playing JP games nonstop... it had quite the impressive library, and I really wish I had been able to buy those games when I had my actual GBA (I'm not a huge fan of playing GBA games on DS because of the way they stick out the bottom.... and even then, I never really built up a GBA library because I got my DS so late).
