No, they repurposed the wifi code to communicate with other Switches, not some grandad's GBA.
What part of "Switch versions of the originals" escaped your comprehension?

>>58997363
The part when they said they just put the same rom there so it wouldn't have to get rated again so they could keep gambling in it

You are sperging far too hard and far too much over these. Go watch a youtube playthrough of the whole thing, see IS it exactly what you fucking want. Or is it a case where $20 is a month's wages for you, in which case, save your money, keeping a roof over your head's more important than pissing a month's money away on a 24 year old video game.

What made you think this would work?

Because it's a wireless adapter that would enable wireless trading like the Switch does

>>58997354
Yeah this totally works anon, traded to evolve my Haunter in my 20-year old FireRed save file and it went off perfectly!

>>58997401
This is what I want to do but with my Gravler I had since childhood

>>58997401
I'm trying but I can't find my self

I have a 3ds, can't trade, but it's hardware accurate and maybe even better since the 3ds's rtc chip doesn't die. PKSM is all I need for transferring.

>>58997669
I thought only the first 2 gens came on the 3ds?

>>58997354
If this was actually possible it would save so much fucking time

>original GBA releases were rated E
>switch ports are rated E10+
And do you know what that means, professor? THEY'VE BEEN RE-RATED!

>>58997363
do not redeem

Can an update fix it?

>>58997391
Because you can trade from a GBA cartridge to an emulator running a rom. Fucking Gamefreak being outdone by piracy YET AGAIN.

This would have been a way to make sure Gen 3 compatibility is never lost after Bank shuts down.

Guess I'll have to backup my saves and upload them to the Switch versions.

>you can trade to an emulator coded to pretend to be a gen 3 era wifi connector
>this means Game Freak should have tried to get a dinosaur piece of tech talking to a modern tablet so technologically advanced they barely could imagine its formfactor in 2002 when they began coding the game in question
Jesus, I've seen some mitwit takes on /vp/ in almost 16 years, but this is right up there for "most retarded statement of all-time". The fact alone any Switch cart could hold hold over a THOUSAND GBA games (not that there was that many different ones released naturally) should tell you the level of technology they're dealing with far outstrips what the GBA could concieve. Besides, they repurposed the wifi connector gubbins for the Switch's innate wifi so switch owners could trade locally. It's already in use talking to things that are pretending to be the wifi dongle.

>>58997400
Did you happen to also think that the wireless adapter and the wireless built into the Switch are on completely different frequencies and protocols? Or did you just think "they both do wireless packet transfers so that should allow me to connect them"?
Because right now you sound like a clueless retard.

>>58997370
It's not the same rom, also the rating is higher this time.

>>58998834
Yes they could have easily made the two versions compatible, retard. In fact I bet someone will do exactly that over the next few months.

And again, it's not like this would have been just a neat thing. It's future proofing for when Bank shuts down.

>>58998871
>>58998850
No they couldn't because the wifi adaptor is of a framework so simple and obsolete that Switch doesn't in fact support communicating with it. They did the next best thing jury-rig the existing code to recognise the switch as a wifi adapter and trade with other "wifi adapters" in range, those that were Switches running FRLG and pretending to be the adapter to trade. You ARE an all-timer, give yourself a gold star and a cookie for this. I'm just disgusted no-one's gonna give enough of a fuck to rightly turn you into the meme you're acting.

And what about the Gen 4 and 5 kiddies? The Gen 6 and 7 kids, they can get fucked? Listen to yourself, you autistic toxic shithead.

You think they'll never re-release other games on the eshop? Lol. They could do the exact same thing and then all the digital versions would be compatible with the physical release.
