Ant: You were not talking about making a game for fun and for free, you were talking about selling it to a publisher.
A licensed publisher, who decided to start publishing bootleg games would indeed lose their license to publish Nintendo GBA games. Licensed Publishers will only work with Licensed Developers.
The console market is much different than the PC market where any kid can turn out a PC game and sell it. To make and sell a game for a console, you need to be a licensed developer and need to find a licensed publisher.
Of course, the chances of this game ever seeing the light of day, is also zero, based on your habit of starting a new project and dumping the old one every other week.
