Hi, you see I wanna play Pokemon Fire Red and Pokemon Green, but the jap-version on my european GBA SP.
But I don not know if it will work to play them on it, and even if it works will I be able to trade with my european games?
Also I would like to know where I can buy them.
Thx cubone12

Gameboy games aren't region locked, so you can play Japanese games in European GBA.

and even if it works will I be able to trade with my european games? That won't work.
Also I would like to know where I can buy them. Ebay.
Thx cubone12

Also, if you have a Japanese GBA version and you want to import to Pal Park in DPPtHGSS, you will have to get a Japanese version of the DS game first.

There is no reason for not being able to trade between the Japanese version and the European version.

Trading between Japanese and International versions of 3rd generation games should work without issue. From Bulbapedia: "Link trades and battles are made possible between Japanese and international releases due to the use of a worldwide character set. Due to the fact that online trading was introduced only in Generation IV, however, most are not made aware of this."

I got both a Japanese LeafGreen and an English FireRed; I should know.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.
