    I have a question... but with the new Nintendo DS, we must have another time all pokemon remakes?
    Or the trade in possible between Gameboy SP and Nintendo DS games?

  • Nintendo have made it quite clear that the DS isn't the successor to the GBA. It is meant to be an alternative option to the GBA and it's successor. The next GameBoy generation would almost definately be backwards compatible with the GBA.

  • taht's cool then nintendo is still thinking up the next gen-GBA? woah... I thought that the DS was the next GBA but nintendo more than likely will release a couple of PKMN games for DS.

  • I have a feeling something is going to come into play with the Nintendo DS being able to play GBA games, like put your Ru/Sa/Fr/Lg cart into the GBA slot, then put the new Pokemon DS game in the DS slot. Just a hunch.

  • The DS will have a slot to put GBA games in it. And it will more than likely be the next GameBoy.

  • nintendo has made it clear that the ds isnt the gameboy successor in announcements and by lowering the sp price to widen the price gap, theyre already working on a machine with ps2(psp) quality graphics. ds isnt portable enough by modern standards to be called gameboy anyway (but neither is the sp to me)

  • DS will have two game slots, a GBA game slot and a DS game slot, so it's fully back-compatible. And there's rumours that for DS games, you'll be able to add hardware extensions that slot into the GBA slot so the functionality of DS games is increased.

    The DS has 2 slots - one for DS games and one for GBA/GB games. The DS can obviously access both at the same time, coz ninty's making Pok?mon Dash capable of connecting to Emerald. So, what if you could have the next gen pok?mon ds game in the DS slot, and you also have, say, FireRed in the GBA slot, and you can switch between the 2 by pressing a button? That's what I think. :P

  • GREAT NEWS!!!

    Well, this thread should be moved once Kairi's sorted it with Steve, but Nintendo of Japan have announced new games for the 4th generation!!! And they're for DS!!!

    The first is a set of games called Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (NOT platinum as other sites have being going around... well, at least not to my translating skills), and will be the fourth generation of the classic RPG of which we've come to know and love.

    The second is a racing game called Pokemon Dash, and is compatible with Pokemon Emerald. Up to 6 people can play simultaeosuly, and uses the stylo pad thing to drive Pokemon in race cars around a track. By putting in an Emerald cartridge, you can unlock more tracks and more Pokemon to race with,

    Isn't this so exciting? XD Hopefully the new forum should be set up when Kairi's finished having words with Steve...
