Boy, SNK didn't do so hot with hardware did they? Most of the posters probably have no idea what we're talking about.

Gameboy Advance.

You can't top Golden Sun, Fire Emblem 7, and FFVI.

definitly the GBA SP

When you find a good game for the PSP it is amazing though

I honestly don't care enough about handhelds to name a best of all tme, but I'm certain it is a Nintendo handheld that deserves that spot.

GameGear's battery life was pathetic and it didn't have a great selection of games and I hate the PSP with a passion. It seems that most of its fans are people who like all the other Sony products. 

I hate the PSP, because it strikes me as a wanna-be console experience. It doesn't offer a unique handheld experience like the DS does. It seems like a lazy idea supported with very good technology. "Oh. Let's just pack this thing with technology and give this thing kick ass graphics and people will eat it up." 

Nintendo, on the other hand, seemed to say to themselves "How can we mess around with the possibilities of what can be done on a handheld? How can we make sure that the handheld experience remains unique even if we do upgrade the graphics somewhat?" This is why despite the lameness of the Wii and alot of lazy efforts, I still like Nintendo as a company better than Sony. Sony seems like a one-trick pony. Their answer is always multi-media/technology. Nintendo is atleast willing to try different approaches. 

The PSP is all horsepower and really nothing else. As somebody else said, it's good for all the wrong reasons.

I will have to say GBA or one of its variations. It had a great game library, but knowing Nintendo, they can(and most probably will) milk any future handheld by releasing remakes, or re-releases of games from previous handhelds or consoles. That means old-school Final Fantasies for eternity!!!!!! 8)

original gameboy, no questionbizkit_limp

I have to go with the DS. It plays both DS and GBA games.

I know it sounds very generic, but my favourite handheld is the DS. The only handheld I actually bothered buying games outside Pokemon for.

Eponique

this. all other hendhelds i bought for pokemans

This thread is somewhat old, isn't it?

I don't like handhelds, but I definitely respect the DS for its different approach. I would keep a DS if somebody gave one to me whereas I'd sell a PSP immediately for another PS3 game.

Best handheld ever is the Tamagotchi!!!!!!

But no really it's the DS Lite followed by the GBA

psp

DS for me, the only handheld that actually separated itself from consoles.

The DS wins, but every gameboy was amazing.

Game Boy Color. Added color to my pokemons. WIN
