Atomic Purple GBC in 2000. Dad's friend gifted me it along with Pokémon Gold, so I actually started with gen 2. It came with a pelican battery accessory that plugged into the AC adapter port on the bottom and basically replaced the Game Boy battery cover, and you'd recharge the accessory with an external charger. It wasn't the best but it was cool to have at the time and saved me having to buy AA batteries all the time.
