Mobile System GB was an online gameplay, networking (such as email) service for Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance operated via mobile phone. The service was established by Nintendo and Mobile21 and a starter cartridge known as the Mobile Trainer, with the Mobile GB Adapter is intended to set up the service. The Mobile Trainer also included a mailing system, and a dedicated browser featuring the Mobile Home Page.
For a price, supported mobile phones could use this service to play games/software online or to download content. The service needed the Mobile GB Adapter to operate, and one of three Mobile GB Adapter cables (blue, yellow or red) used to connect to different mobile phones.
The service is most known for its support of the Japanese release of Pokémon Crystal Version, in which players could download news, battle and trade online, mail, or the "GS Ball" item; unlocking the Mythical Pokémon Celebi.
