The Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter is a peripheral that allows players to play compatible Game Boy Advance games locally with other players who have a copy of the game without having to use a Link Cable. The device was released in 2004; while originally exclusively packaged with copies of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions at that game's release, it was later released as a standalone product at retail.
Because the Game Boy micro has a different Link Cable port, the standard wireless adapter cannot be used with it. Instead, a new version of the peripheral was released, the Game Boy micro Wireless Adapter. The Game Boy micro version of the accessory was only available directly from Nintendo.

Features and functionality
The Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter plugs into the system through the Link Cable port on its back, clipping into the two slots on both sides to hold it in place. While the adapter can be used in place of a Game Link Cable, it can only be used with games that are programmed to be compatible with the wireless adapter.
The wireless adapter uses a Motorola chip to communicate with other adapters at a 2.4Ghz signal.[1] With certain exceptions, up to five systems can be connected locally at one time. The Wireless Adapter also has a search feature; by starting the system without a game cartridge inserted or by holding down Start and Select as the system boots up with a game inserted, the adapter will search for any compatible games that are being played and join single-pak multiplayer games.
