Visual Boy Advance is a freeware program that allows you emulate Game Boy Advance titles on your computer. To use VBA, you must download ROM images of the games you wish to emulate. However, you must own the original cartridge of any Game Boy Advance title you wish to emulate. One feature of many Game Boy Advance titles is the ability to link your system to a friend's. In the various games in Nintendo's "Pokemon series," you must take advantage of this feature in order to trade Pokemon. To trade Pokemon in Visual Boy Advance, you will use the VBA Link Add-On.
