Topic: Linking GBA's for trading pokemon

[Shorty McNostril]

I've got a problem.  I'm trying to link 2 GBA SP's with gold and silver to trade and battle.  But the things won't link.  The one with the player 1 end of the cable says something like searching for other player, while the other end saves the game, looks and still doesn't find anything.  I don't think it's the cable because i have tried 2 different ones.  Is their a special method you have to follow.  I don't have the instruction booklets because i got them second hand.  Any help would be appreciated.  Cheers.

I don't think you can use a GBA to trade with older GB games.
