If you are talking about the long cartridge Gameboy color and original Gameboy games, then I don't think any DS will play those. However, any Gameboy advance games will run on a DS and DS lite.

Yeah, a DS does have the ability to play gameboy games. I don't know about the 3DS or the others, but the plain DS does. I know because I have one.

The first DS and the DS lite, too. The DSi won't play them.

I got the SuperCard2 for my 3DS (they have SuperCard1 for the regular DS). Its a cartridge that allows you to load emulators to play virtually any game system. I currently run Gameboy (all types), Atari 2600, Apple II, MAME, Sega, Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, Intellivision, Colecovision, Nintendo DS, Game Gear (all types), even has an MSDos emulation. All in all.... around 30,000 games on a 32 gig miniSD card. I think I paid $80, but then downloaded every game for free.

Is there a site to buy this? Is it fully legal and are there any better ways of playing the original pokemon for cheaper (buying gameboy advance on amazon?)

There are lots of sites that sell this. I BELIEVE it is legal to purchase after market products for your devices... there are some countries that don't allow you to MODIFY your device... but this doesn't modify anything, its just a cartridge. Downloading the games is a grey area... If you own the game in one format, it may be legal to have a "backup" of it as raw data to use on an emulator....... if you only want the one game (pokemon) - it might be easier for you to just grab a used game boy.
