I don have a large budget so it will take me a while todo much. I don’t have my soldering iron back yet either.

What should be my order of action here? Should I start with battery or backlight? I also have pokemon blue on the way.

Grab a Flash Cart so you don't have to pay outrageous used game prices, and find some kind of high capacity battery mod because I use a flash cart on my GBA and it drains quick even with replacement battery.

Omfg thank you! I was hesitant to buy anymore games bc of the price, any brand in particular I should go for?

edit: how tf do I figure out what cart to get

Another great game: tobu tobu girl.

Everdrive fo sho.

I got the EZ Flash for GBA which works fine, was cheaper. Idk if there's a GBC variant but worth a look.
