Games: How Do You Transfer Pokemon From the GBA to the DS?

"Pokemon" is a series of games that began on the Nintendo Game Boy Advance and progressed to the Nintendo DS. One of the many features of the newer "Pokemon" games is the ability to transfer Pokemon from previous games. If you have a favorite Pokemon character from an old GBA version, you can easily transfer him to your new Nintendo DS. In order to transfer your Pokemon, however, you must first beat the game.
