Question

Can I trade this to an actual GBA?

Community Answer

No, as the apps for Android use technology that is not supported by an actual GBA and vice versa.

What do I do if Myboy won't read my John GBA files?

Go to the location of your save files of John GBA and copy them to that of Myboy. If the problem still persists, you can look for a save game file of Myboy and change the file extension accordingly.

Question

What do I do if the traded Pokemon quit listening to me after they pass level 10?

Community Answer

Start obtaining gym badges. Normally the first increases this limit to level 20, the second to 30, and so on until all obey you after the final badge.

Question

Do pokémon evolve if I migrate them to later games?

Community Answer

Certain Pokemon such as Machoke will, but it's not dependent on the game you trade them to, rather that you trade them in general.

Lit Gamer

Just trade again as the steps show you. Start at step 5 this time. And you should get used it once you have done this multiple times.

Community Answer

No, it is not possible to do so with the iOs appstore, but it's apk file can be downloaded online. All you have to do is go to your browser. Search up John GBA apk, go to a website, download the link and make sure that you allow apps to be downloaded from unknown sources. Then when it downloads, double-click it and it will take you to a link and click install. Then wait for it to download and then download a rom while waiting for it to download.

Question

The link local option is not readily available in the menu drop down. Is there a way to bring it out or how does one acquire said option?

Community Answer

It is readily available in the My Boy GBA Emulator so if you are using john GBA lite than you should shift to My Boy as it is better than John GBA in many ways such as when you fast forward the FPS does not drop down in My Boy up till 3 x Speed. You can even trade and complete the pokedex in My Boy.

You can use the trade machine only in My Boy GBA Emulator. But if you have a save file in John GBA, then you can transfer it to My Boy Save file folder and then you can use that in My Boy.
