The 3DS has some GBA games released as 'ambassador games' but you can't actually buy them since they were given to people who bought a 3DS until early 2012. On NDSi, you can do that with twilightmenu++ with gbarunner2 app, but with some limitations. Oh, you can also play GBA carts (not GB/C) on the original NDS and NDS lite.
I'd recommend getting an AGB model (above) with modded backlit screen. The shoulder buttons on these models suck, but it's probably the best way to play them on the actual hardware. There's a clamshell model called GBA SP which has frontlight (model AGS-001) and another - and rarer one - with backlight (AGS-101). The GBA can play every commercially available Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and of course Game Boy Advance games.

There are mods to add a front-light but every demo I've seen of it looks awful.
The display still doesn't feature a back or front-light, sadly. It's display can show up 32,768 colors when appropriate graphics modes are used by the developer. Ditching the vertical design of the all its predecessors, the GBA features a D-Pad on the left side of the screen, an A and a B button on the right, as well as the Select and Start buttons and also has two bumper buttons on the top of the console. The last "big" revision to the Game Boy line. Black cartridges USUALLY mean that a game can be played on an original GB but features improvements that take advantage of the GBC's hardware. The GBC is backwards compatible with original GB games but also features many exclusives, usually indicated by a clear cartridge.

The GBC was almost made out of necessity due to rising competition from Sega with their Game Gear console, which had a full color display and a freaking back-light. A GBC only requires 2 AA batteries, and is reported (by Nintendo, at least) to have a battery life of 10 hours. Featuring a display that can show up to 32,000 colors (56 at the same time), a smaller size, and a multitude of console colors available it is only a marginal improvement use wise from the original DMG GB. The Game Boy Color was a step up in almost every way from the original console. In all honestly probably the worst Game Boy console aside from aesthetics. Requires 4 AA batteries, and isn't very pocket friendly. The literal 2 bit puke green display doesn't help too much either. The DMG is a big beige brick with big purple-ish buttons, can only play original Game Boy games, and has NO backlight. The original Game Boy's iconic look has been a trendy design for hipsters and neckbeards to blow their load over.
