Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire continued the tradition allowing players to trade Pokémon between two cartridges, this time via the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Link Cable]].
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire continued the tradition allowing players to trade Pokémon between two cartridges, this time via the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Link Cable]].  They are not compatible with the wireless adapter.  
Unlike {{game3|Gold and Silver|previous games|s}}, Ruby and Sapphire were not backward compatible with Generations {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}}. This prompted remakes of the original games, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. [[Trade|Trading]] between these games, {{g|Colosseum}}, and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} and the third Hoenn-based game, {{game|Emerald}}, is possible. These games are also the first to support linking between different language versions for trading and battling without risk of losing their saved games. If one person is trading with FireRed, LeafGreen or Emerald, the sprite is changed to either Brendan's or May's depending on the gender, it was changed on Emerald where a different sprite is used depending of the version being exchanged. However, some limitations still took place, which would not be removed until much later in [[Generation IV]] with {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions}} for the [[Nintendo DS]].
