Fans have been begging for years now to see Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games as a part of Nintendo Switch Online, so it's a safe bet that a lot of people will be happy about this announcement! Both the original Game Boy and Game Boy Advance have played host to some of the greatest games of all-time, and many people will now get a chance to experience them for the very first time.

Interestingly enough, Nintendo has yet to confirm any of the mainline Pokemon games as part of Nintendo Switch Online. Considering how important the Pokemon games were to the success of the Game Boy and GBA, it's incredibly likely we'll see them added at some point. In fact, Pokemon Day is set to take place later this month, and it seems highly likely that we'll see the games announced around that day. If they are released on Nintendo Switch Online, it will be interesting to see if they feature any compatibility with Pokemon Home, or with either Pokemon Stadium game, when they are added to the Nintendo 64 app.
