* The Nintendo DS, like its predecessors (the [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Color]], and [[Game Boy Advance]]), is not region-locked. This means that a player could theoretically play a DS game from any region on their own locally purchased console. However, games released in the {{wp|People's Republic of China}}, which contain {{wp|Chinese character}}s, will only run on DS systems with the {{wp|iQue}} brand, as other versions do not have the larger microchip that supports these characters. | * The Nintendo DS, like its predecessors (the [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Color]], and [[Game Boy Advance]]), is not region-locked.

* The Nintendo DS is the only Nintendo handheld to have Pokémon games from two separate generations developed during its lifespan. While both [[Generation I]] and {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were playable on the [[Game Boy]], the latter were designed for the [[Game Boy Color]]. The only other console that features multiple-generation Pokémon games developed during its lifespan is the [[Nintendo 64]], featuring Generation I's {{Jap|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}} and {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium|English Pokémon Stadium}}, along with [[Generation II]]'s [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. | * The Nintendo DS is the only Nintendo handheld to have Pokémon games from two separate generations developed during its lifespan.
