Need a little help please

[Toshiba]

hi, im trying to trade my pokemon from my blue version over to my gold version, but every time i try to do this, the gold version says "your friend is not ready." and a few seconds later, the blue version says "the link has been closed because of inactivity." This happens after the games recognize that there is a link cable attached because it goes all the way to the point where it asks me to save, then afterwards it does this. I think it must have something to do with the gold version, because it doesnt seem to recognize the cable while the blue does, but im not sure.
I know that its not the link cable, ive tried 3 so far all with the same results. I was wondering if you all know of a way to fix this. Thanks a lot.


Also, if im playing gold on my gba, do i have to use the game boy color gameshark or can i use a game boy advanced one?

The Advanced should be fine.

Have you reached the town after Goldenrod yet (I forgot its name)? Once you get there, walk into the Pokecenter and Bill will tell you that he has fixed the Time Machine or something like that. I reckon that you have to wait until the day after you encounter him there to use it.

Ya ive done that

 

[WafflesAreElGood]

Are you playing both on a GBA or just the Gold?

 

[Toshiba]

Both are on gba

I used to have this problem. Believe it or not I just switched which end of the cable was in which GBA. Weird I know but it worked for me.

 

[Toshiba]

Yup tried that too, thanks though. Any other ideas?

 

[WafflesAreElGood]

Put one of them in a Color.
