    I have two DSes, a normal one and a lite. I also have all the GBA Pokemon games. Can I battle and trade between two of the games with my two DSes?

    _As far as i know you can't! There is no such thing as Wireless (Over DS) trading in the GBA Games (Only in FR/LG but with those wireless things that the game box included) and you can't trade using a cable with Nintendo DS ( I'm not 100% sure how Lite works )

    _This leads you to trade using 2 GBAs

    I hope i helped :)

    Nope sorry, the GBA games doesn't support the Wi-Fi equipped on the DS, which is the only mean of communication that he have...
    But you can trade and battle easily if you got 2 DS games.

    Do you mean the original Pokemon Blue and Red versions? Then yes, you can. The GBA supports GB/C games. You'll need a GBA compatible link cable, but from there on you should be set to trade between the two games. :)

    With Diamond and Pearl, yes. With Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, no.

    But hey, that's why Pal Park was introduced.
