The DS version is, for now, a total mystery, as is the way the two titles will interact.


Hmmm, I wonder what this strange GBA game shaped hole is for, in the bottom of the Nintendo DS?

Hmm, it is possible that you'd be able to put both games in the DS. If Blue is DS only and on a DS card, and Red is on a GBA cart, then both games will fit at once.

However, that's a bit poo as far as interaction goes. "Let's fight or swap Pokemon", "OK, give me your cart".

More likely there will be a wireless adapter for the GBA or a link cable that works with both consoles.

There already is a wireless adaptor on the GBA/SP, but it uses a different tech to the DS wireless connection, it was even launched with the last batch of Pokemon games. Would they then release a new wireless adaptor to connect a GBA to a DS? I would say unlikely, for the sake of just one game.

Update:

More images added.

And on that adapter, didn't we find out what that was in the end? Can't remember off the top of my head.

Then a link cable may be more likely. Still a bit naff in these wireless network days, but serviceable none the less.

If Nintendo's history is anything to go by, they'll release the adapter then release a few games that make use of it.

There's currently nowhere on a DS to plug a link cable into, unless they figure out how to pass a signal through the re-charging socket, or create a "cartridge" which goes in the GBA slot with a link cable coming out of it.

Yeah, into the GBA slot was what I was thinking.
