Finally, as an excited kid in 2003 who had just bought a copy of Ruby - my very first Pokémon game! - I didn't care that there were big changes in the new games from the previous generations. I just cared because I loved the gameplay and (again, controversially) the storyline. Plus Groudon looked unbelievably cool.

== It was not malicious intent == | |||
Trading between R/B/Y, G/S/C and Ru/Sa/Em was not left out maliciously, or forgotten, or anything like that. They HAD to leave it out for technical reasons. The GBA communications hardware is incompatible with previous GB iterations. When they made the new hardware communication protocols were greatly expanded, features such as Bi-Directional transmission, multiple nodes, and much faster throughput. This also meant that legacy support was only supported on legacy games, and only with a special cable. GBA games cannot use the legacy cable/support so there was literally no way for it to communicate with previous games. This would have occurred with the DS as well, had it not been for the expansion port being able to read data from the GBA games. It frustrates me (and I am sure Gamefreak) when people go on and on about how bad this was. It was not their fault, it was a limitation of the technology. [[User:RyogaWanderer|RyogaWanderer]] | |||
