I was tryin' to trade pokemon with my friend, and it didn't work. We used like 4 different link cables. . .and it didn't work. . .Then we thought that because i have an SP Advanced that it might not work . . .so we tried two normal gameboy advance's and it worked. . . So my question is . . . Can a Gameboy Advanced SP not trade with a Normal Gameboy Advanced?

Thanks

They can.

For a long while, my brother only had a GBA, while I was playing on an SP and we could trade. Even now, some of our friends only have GBAs and I'm able to trade with them.

maybe you didnt link themright. One might need port one and the other have the other

I mean player. Theres a player one on one side of the link and Player 2 on the other side of the link. Maybe SP or GBA needs Player1 and the other needs player2.

Yeah, i think it works both ways but i've always put the Sp as port one (put the purple part of the cable in if you have a grey/purple cable) and it worked when trading with a GBA

Because to fix Ru/Sa (Berry Glitch) Instead of Jirachi from Colesium you need to trade with FR/LG ->Ru/Sa And the link and the ports have to be in a certain order.

[I went through the same problems:

I play Pokemon GSC and I want to trade so I can complete the Pokedex (Got about 55 percent thus far on Crystal) and the thing I learned is in playing a GSC on GBA, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TRADE because of the calbe port or the cable, like there's something wrong with either port or cable. So I had to buy 2 GBCs and I've been trading Pokemon easy now, and I also ordered the Game Boy Color Link. I can now go back in time on Pokemon RBY and get the other Pokemon.

It's always best in playing Pokemon that if you want to trade:

RBY and GSC, must have GBC
RS, must have GBA

I still play the CRystal on GBA, but switch to GBC when I need trades.

THe FR/LG will either be you can trade on GBA or maybe they'll switch it to the GB SP. Boy, last thing I need is to spend 99 bucks on a 2nd GB SP.
