The GBC was a new system with a whole host of new games that couldn't be played on the old one. Most notably Pokémon Gold and Silver. (And if you hadn't convinced your parents to invest in a power pack or at least rechargeable batteries then you were clearly unserious about Game Boy)

This is true. Probably should have clarified that I was speaking from the perspective of elementary school me. All your points are correct, but Gold and Silver didn't hit the scene until I was in Middle School/Junior High, which is a completely separate era of your life when you're young.
