In [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow|Yellow]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]], only two players can link together. But with [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby, Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]], and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed and LeafGreen]], up to four Game Boy Advances can be linked together. The reason is that the Advance generation is designed to support four player matches.

There are several types of link cables, depending upon the model of Game Boy used. For instance, the original Game Boy's link cable had much larger ends than that of the Game Boy Color link cable. Also, a GBC cable is not compatible with a GBA cable.  Additionally, the Game Boy Micro uses another size cable, so there is some incompatibility among the different models over the years. Ideally, each player should have the same Game Boy model to prevent this. Please note that the GBA and GBA SP use the same link cable.

The DS has a built-in wireless system, so no link cable is needed. Pokémon games on the DS, such as [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond and Pearl]], use this feature for battling and trading.
