===Game Boy Advance incompatibility===
===Game Boy Advance incompatibility===
The biggest change, perhaps, between the previous models and the DSi is the removal of the GBA port. This causes the system to be unable to play the [[Generation III]] games as well as other [[Game Boy Advance]] games. Due to the [[Generation IV]] games' use of [[dual-slot mode]] to capture Pokémon of previous generations, and [[Pal Park]] for migration of Pokémon from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], and {{v2|Emerald}}, this also affects them.

This causes the system to be unable to play the [[Generation III]] games as well as other [[Game Boy Advance]] games. Because of the [[Generation IV]] games' use of [[dual-slot mode]], the incompatibility makes it impossible to capture Pokémon of previous generations, and impossible to use [[Pal Park]] for migration of Pokémon from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]] and {{v2|Emerald}}, or [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]].


===DSi-enhanced features===
===DSi-enhanced features===
DSi-enhanced game cartridges are DS games that have additional features when played on the Nintendo DSi or 3DS. {{4v|Black|White}} can connect to {{wp|Wi-Fi Protected Access|WPA}} and {{wp|WPA2}} protected wireless networks and utilize the camera when using the [[Xtransceiver]] when played on a DSi or 3DS. However, they are also region-locked on these systems.
DSi-enhanced games are DS games that have additional features when played on the Nintendo DSi or [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]]. {{4v|Black|White}} can utilize the camera when using the [[Xtransceiver]], and they and [[Pokémon Conquest]] can connect to {{wp|Wi-Fi Protected Access|WPA}} and {{wp|WPA2}} protected wireless networks, when played on a DSi or 3DS. However, these five games are also region-locked, though only on DSi and 3DS due the lock being enforced by the system software rather than the game software and no such enforcement existing on previous DS designs.
