I will lista the packaging compatibility information for all the main series pokémon games for GameBoy, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, nintendo DS and nintendo 3DS. Please be note that I do not have any manuals for the GameBoy, GameBoy Color and GameBoy Advance series pokémon games and I do not have pokémon Sun and pokémon Moon yet. So I will update this from time to time while I can. Also, there are information differences between the edited version of this articulo parts and the actual versions of the packaging back parts like the Black version of pokémon and stuff. Anyway, enjoy.
