Yeah,but if you got firered then it may have come
with a wireless adapter,and then just buy another
one or get a link cable,of course you can just get
a friend for all of that stuff,you might even want
to trade with her/him!

i remember trying to get one of those wireless adapters into my ds. sorry, but there's no place for it. it won't work. neither will the cable.

i think you would have enough money for two gba's if you sold one ds. or close to enough.

or

if you have a gamecube and pokemon colosseum or xd, you could just borrow a gba and buy a gamecube - gba connector cable. it would take forever and be painfully monotonous, but it'd work.


but, as Pokefan2008 said, finding someone to help would be a lot easier.

I don't understand. Buy a Gamecube - or a gba connection cable?

First off, this kinda doesn't work with a pair of DSes (which were mentioned as the medium in the first post), given, you know, the DS isn't supposed to connect with other DSes in this way.

Second, as a general note to the original poster, yeah, you'll need a pair of GBAs and a link cable/wireless adapter. The DS was not made to host the capabilities that would allow you to trade between older games. That is, the DS's wireless features are for DS games only (not GBA games), and it doesn't have a link cable outlet where you'd be able to plug in a wireless adapter or link cable. Because of that, the DS advertises itself as being able to play GBA games only in one-player mode.

With the gamecube, he means with one of the Pokemon Colosseum games, or Pokemon Box. Using a gameboy, you can trade/transfer Pokemon on, switch games and trade them to the next cart.

Yeah you need two gba's but you could buy them cheap if they're used. The ones at eb games are just 20 dollars each.

Cant u just buy a gba connector and use it for ur ds?

Unfortunately, no. The DS's wireless capabilities can't connect with the GBA wireless adapter. It can only be used to connect with other DSes when it comes to handhelds.
