So my little brother gave me his pokemon emerald & firered along with his gba sp.
I'm pretty exited but I'm wondering how I'm going to get all my pokes to the newer gen games...from what I understand you can only get transfer from gba with the old nintendo ds?

You can only transfer from GBA to DS with the DS lite and below. GBA goes in the bottom. Oh, and only between Gen 3 and 4

DS Brick and DS Lyte tend to go for pretty cheap online and in stores. Gen 4 and 5 games can be played in any DS, so there you go.

yes pretty much, you insert your gba cart in an old DS to transfer your pokes to a Gen IV game via pal park, to then tranfer them via some minigame in Gen V, for which you need a second DS

Only DS that have a port on the front for gba games can transfer pokemon to the new games.
If it means that much to you, you can get a DS Lite on Jewbay or Amazon for around $40.

The original DS and DS Lite models had GBA compatibility. So you could put the GBA cartridge into the slot-2 of the DS and migrate your Pokemon from the GBA games to any gen 4 game.

If you want to transfer the GBA Pokemon to the gen 5 games, you need to transfer them from a gen 4 game.

Fuck this would be alot of work which I'm debating whether I would be autistic enough to follow up on. It would really be a waste of time and money wouldn't it?
So in the palpark minigame are the pokemon at new levels or are they at whatever they originally were in the played game? Because you have to catch them right?

Nope. The GB(C) and GBA had no known compatibility between them. And the game mechanics had a huge overhaul so it probably wouldn't be compatible anyway.

Wait(not that you would want to since ss/hg exist) wouldn't you be able to trade between gba's?
