So, I need to know stuff about a Game Boy Advance.

Ok, if you want to know the whole story, read the first paragraph, but if you just want to answer the question, skip to the bottom.

The Story: So, like a year ago my mom bought me a FireRed and an Emerald game off a store online, and I played them and the Emerald kept re-starting itself, and the FireRed game, when you went down the first ladder in Rock Tunnel, it would show you like you were surfing but you couldn't move and it was all dark. So we e-mailed then and they sent us a new FireRed. I was mad still so I abandoned them all, but I finally played FireRed, and THAT WAS BROKEN TOO. So now I am REALLY VERY MAD at the website-place, but I don't think they'ed let us return them. Anyway, so I was thinking, if I got a Game Boy Advance, maybe Emerald would work better because it seemed to re-start when I played Pictochat and/or played/saved a diffrent game. And I had been wanting to play Red or Blue and Yellow, but I don't want to buy FireRed, Red, Yellow, a Game Boy and a Game Boy Advance, so I was wondering:

My Question: Do Game Boy Advances play Game Boy games, too?
