1. They don't fit. All GB games seem to have beveling on the front edges of the cartridge, but the difference between GB color and DS cartridges is that the back side of the DS ones have small pieces cut out of the plastic near the bottom, about a centimeter long, that prevent a GB color cartridge from fitting into a DS.
Persistent as I was to play my new copy of Pokemon Blue, I took a utility knife and whittled away at the plastic until it would fit. This, sadly, led to my second point...
2. Even if they do fit, the DS won't recognize the game. It's sad but true. I won't say this is true of all games, but the Pokemon GB color games just don't show up. It will claim that "There is no Game Pak inserted." This leads me to believe that since the cartridges wouldn't fit, Nintendo just didn't make the DS compatible with the old games.

∙ 10y agoNo, you cannot play gameboy color games on the Nintendo DS. In order to play gameboy color games, the DS would have to have a special processor included, and it would need an infra-red port and link cable slot in order to play both gameboy and gameboy color games. This would make the machine bulkier, and need more hardware, and the cost would be higher. The creators at Nintendo decided it would be better to exclude gameboy and gameboy color games from the system.
One thing to think about though the Nintendo DSi has no gameboy games, unless they are talking gameboy pocket or something but DS and DS Lite do have a GBA slot, it just isn't able to play gb color. I tried but it was too big so just remember that.
