Mobile Game Boy Adapter: Difference between revisions

Mobile Trainer (Japanese: モバイルトレーナー) is a cartridge which comes packaged with the Mobile Adapter GB itself, developed by MissingLink, the parent company of [[Denyusha]].<ref>[http://www.shadowflare.us/about.htm MissingLink company information]</ref> Prior to its release it was previously given the tentative name "Mobile Starter Cartridge" (Japanese: モバイルスターターカートリッジ).<ref>[http://www.geocities.jp/rikkyjp/ope/trainer.html Rikkyjp - Mobile Trainer]</ref> When the player boots up the cartridge, a connection screen checks whether the Mobile Adapter GB is connected. The software will progress past the loading screen only once connected to a Japanese phone. The cartridge offered an e-mail system in which users could exchange text messages between each other. Another feature of the Mobile Trainer cartridge was access to the Mobile System GB homepage, which published featured articles around different compatible titles. It would publish information about updates to the Pokémon News Machine and data from the Mobile Stadium.

Within the coding of the Mobile Trainer cartridge exist graphics for Pokémon such as {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Tyranitar}}. The purposes of these graphics are currently unknown. It may be of note that Tyranitar uses an art style which more closely resembles its [[Prototype Pokémon and characters|artwork]] from the early development of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.
