Pocket? Pointless thing... it's just the GB, but smaller, with a better screen. Like micro... except it doesn't break compatibility with some games. :D ... they were kind of neat I guess, and the less-blurry screen was nice at the time, but certainly not worth buying if you already had a GB... like the micro again. :) Except the micro looks cooler than the GB Pocket.
Virtual Boy wasn't portable so it doesn't really count.
Anyway... I definitely like the size of the original GB, with those nice big buttons... but even for original GB games it's hard to use these days because of how blurry the screen is for any game that scrolls. Great console, but made mostly obsolete by the GBC and GBA/GBA-SP... I keep mine around, though, because it looks cool and because it still works perfectly (which is more than I can say for my GBC... its screen broke a year and a half ago...). :)
