Still, I stuck with it, and enjoyed it from then on. Plus, the Charizard on the box looked bad-ass, and playing a Gameboy game on the Gameboy Color was mind-blowing to my ten-year old self.
I still have my Classic close by, fresh batteries and everything. Dunno what I did with my Color or Advance, but they're around here somewhere. The switch from monochrome to color on the same cart was an experience, to be sure.
