    on the pokemon diamond, pearl, and platinum, you can migrate pokemon from the GBA game, but you cant do that with the DSi because THEY REMOVED THE GBA SLOT!!! WHY?

    (haha, like the icon?, it is a "i" for DS"i")
     
    I hated it when I heard they took that slot out, that's why I didn't buy a dsi, aslo, what is the point of having a camera on it??
     
    If you have such a problem, just keep using the original DS or the Lite. I think it's kinda of cool that the DSi can take pictures. I don't always have my camera with me, but I usually always have my DS, so that would be handy for me. For those who like to migrate, then just stick to the older models. Problem solved.
     
    My DSi has a problem with the stylus slot, and the stylus falls out whenever it is tipped to the side. :\
     
    Geez, I don't see what complaining about it is going to solve. Just use a DSlite or earlier. Seriously, if you didn't do GameStop's "Trade in an old DS get $## off a DSi!" deal, then you'd be fine, as long as you had an earlier model, which, if you got Diamond/Pearl anywhere before April '09, then I don't see the problem. Plus, you can get old DS Origins off of eBay for extremely low prices. :|
     
    I have the DSi, and personally I could care less about the lack of GBA slot seeing as how I no longer play GBA games. The DSi has some cheap, but entertaining features, and I'm a sucker for that.
     
    You seem to be taking this thread a little seriously, its a reason why, i'm not saying it totally sucks, its OK
    I don't have one

    Please don't yell at me. i just don't like the slot removed
     
    OMGWTFBBQ NO SLOT!?!1



    But seriously, I never played gameboy advance games on my DS lite. The lack of a slot is well worth it, since you can download games wii style. There is also very few games that prefer the GBA slot, and only one(that i know of) that needs the gba slot to work.
     
    seriously dont get why people complain so much about dsi when you want to do something the dsi cant, use the dslite simple as that. If you traded in your ds lite instead of having both then theres no reason to migrate because your giving way the only way to get your pokemon and if you would do that they must be weak beause you dont care about having a way to play it
     
    Geez, you people complain about everything way too much. >.> If you have problems with the lack of a GBA Slot, then don't buy one. Just keep the old one. I think the DSi is way cooler, I mean, it has a camera, a web browser, aming others.
     
    DSi
    Pros:
    Camera
    DsiWare
    Internet Access
    Smaller than DS Lite
    Lighter than DS Lite
    Changing Screen Brightness is easier

    Cons:
    Camera is low quality
    No GBA slot
    Action Replay doesn't work on it
    Battery lasts for only 2-3 hours on highest screen brightness




    Results:
    Pros: 6
    Cons: 4
     
    The line of Nintendo's handhelds has to drop older features sooner or later, otherwise the DSi would have to account for three or four different linking protocols, cartrage types, etc.

    Once the GBA was released, you could no longer link with GB(C) games.
    Once the DS was released, you could no longer link with GBA games. Playing GB(C) games was completely deprecated.
    Now the DSi is released, support for GBA games is gone altogether.

    I'm sure there will be an uproar of some kind when in a future handheld system, DS cartrage support will be dropped completely as well. The upside is that you can use emulators and such to play older games on newer handhelds. I have Lameboy for the DS which allows me to play Silver version again without having to buy the GBA. I'm sure that the lack of the GBA slot on the DSi will prompt the Lameboy developers to add support for the GBA. Until then, just stick with the DSLite. ;)
     
    If you play GBA games, or need them for a certain reason, then the DSi wasn't made for you. Deal with it.
     
    Hell, trade-ins r ripoffs anyway, y not just get both??keep ur DSLite nd buy a DSi??

    I only got a GBA a month before i found out the next version of it came out, only got a DS a month before DSi was announced, so i'm well behind times, you don't hear me complaining.

    And why did nobody keep their GBAs??? They're awesome!!
     
    Well, this is a little obvious...

    The most likely reason they took out the GBA slot was to save space.
    Since they packed it full of pointless things like the SD slot and more technologies, there is no real room for it.
    It would make the hand held a lot bigger.

    Personally, I think the DSi is a waste of money.

    Uhuh.
    I don't disagree with them taking out the GBA slot, they needed to for all the new features.

    I, however, will probably never get one. When my DS Lite breaks, I'll buy a new DS Lite, and not a DSi, because I value the GBA slot.
