-A '''Link Cable''' is one of several cables that are used to physically link two or more Gameboys, Gameboy Colors, or Gameboy Advances together so that they may exchange data. They can also be used to connect a Gameboy and another device, such as the Gameboy Camera or Gameboy Printer.
+A '''Link Cable''' is one of several cables that are used to physically link two or more Game Boys, Game Boy Colors, or Game Boy Advances together so that they may exchange data. They can also be used to connect a Game Boy and another device, such as the Game Boy Camera or Game Boy Printer.
 In Pokémon games, the Link Cables are used to allow players to battle and trade.
-In [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Red]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Blue]] and [[Pokémon Yellow|Yellow]], and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Gold]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Silver]] and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]], only two players can link together. But with [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]], and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|Leaf Green]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|Fire Red]], you can link up to four Gameboy Advances together. The reason is because the Advance generation is designed to support four player matches.

-There are several types of Link Cables, depending upon the model of Gameboy used. For instance, the original Gameboy's Link Cable had much larger ends than that of the Gameboy Color Link Cable. Also, a GBC Cable is not compatible with a GBA Cable.  And the Gameboy Micro uses another size Cable, so there is some incompatibiltiy among the different models over the years. Ideally, each player should have the same Gameboy model to prevent this. Please note that the GBA and GBA SP are the same hardware, only in a different shape.

-The [[Wireless Adapter]] that was shipped with some copies of Fire Red, Leaf Green and Emerald is similar to a Link Cable, in that all players that wish to use the Wireless Adapter must have one as well.
+The [[Wireless Adapter]] that was shipped with earlier copies of FireRed and LeafGreen is similar to a Link Cable, in that all players that wish to use the Wireless Adapter must have one as well.
 The DS has a built-in wireless system, so no Link Cable is needed. Future Pokemon games on the DS, such as [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Pearl]], will use this feature for battling and trading.
