Linking problem with Pokemon Firered and GBA

Archived from groups: alt.games.nintendo.pokemon (More info?)

Hi, Matt

It's probably because GBA1 is further on in the game than GBA2. Both games
need to have at least 3 Gym Badges before they can link up.

Hah! I totally forgot that I'd posted this support request.

Well... that was during a cousin's visit a few weekends ago, and we
haven't seen him since. I'll have to let them know about the gym bags
and see if it seems to make a difference...

Of course, The Almighty N claims otherwise...
We'll see! Thanks for the responses.
