    Hello, I am from Brazil, I am sorry my bad english
    I not have yet a Wii or a NDS lite, but, I want to buy it soon. I have only a 3ds, but, it cannot play GBA in it.
    But, I know that NDS Lite have a slot 2 to play GBA games.
    I also know that Wii can play GameCube games.
    Then this is my question:

    1- If I have a NDS Lite and a Wii and I have Pokemon Colosseum Game Cube running in my Wii, and If I have a Pokemon FireRed running in my NDS lite, I can trade pokemon between Pokemon Colosseum and FireRed, or such kind of feature exist only using a REAL gameCube and a REAL Game Boy Advance ?

    If the answer for question "1" is "yes" please, answer question 2 too.

    If the answer for question "1" is "no" please, ignore question 2.

    2- This feature works with a flashcard in slot 2 or only with a genuine GBA cartridge ? Which best flashcard to use in slot 2 to play GBA games ?

    I really want to buy only genuine pokemon games, since I really love Pokemon, I have a 3DS and I have genuine Pokemon Black and SoulSilver, and I wil, buy for sure Black 2 when it be released, but, in Brazil nowadays is almost impossible to buy old genuine GBA games, and most of the GBA games that are sold in internet brazilian sites looks line piracy ( the internet sellers say that have no box and no manual, the games comes just in a paper envelop for sure is a pirate cartridge ) then I prefer to use flashcard. I want to play all GBA pokemon games, in a NDS lite console, I dislike PC emulators...

    Thank you very much for your time reading it and trying to answer me.
     
    You can't hook up the DS with the Wii for trading between GBA game and Colosseum, I'm afraid. You can hook up a GBA and a Wii with the GameCube/GBA link cable though. As for flash carts, I don't think those will work either. :( If it makes you feel better, it's hard for anyone, no matter where they are, to find good real copies of the GBA games. They are the most faked games out there, it seems. Hopefully I've answered your questions, but if you're still unsure or have more questions, please use the Q&A thread. It's in this section, at the top. You'll see it. Good luck. :)

    Locked.
