The GBA can communicate with GBs with the right cable, but the GBA boots into GBC mode and uses the older serial transfer method. The newer method is far faster than the GB can handle though, so that's why you can't have GB games.communicate with GBA games.

aight, thank you.

thats alot better then just hearing "they are different. period"
so if i understand correctly its more of a "in gba mode, the internal hardware & protocol is different and faster"
