It's probably because of space. They added they SD slot and if you look at a DSi their is just no where to put it. Also with the built-in memory, ware capabilities, and the browser, it requires more hardware space so in short, no room for it.

How to insert Pokemon fire red slot in Pokemon platinum?

if you have a Nintendo dsi you will not be able to do this as the dsi does not have a gba slot... once you have beaten the elite 4 and received the national dex make ur way to the route you will have to travel by sea over below sandgem town. you will find the PalPark there and be able to do a one-way trade from any GBA Pokemon to and NDS Pokemon provided u have access to PalPark and have the GBA game inserted once u've done this, open up GBA Pokemon and put 6 Pokemon (maximum per day) in the box u wanna migrate save and reset the ds. turn on ur NDS Pokemon and when the game loads go to "migrate from Pokemon (GBA) and u will choose 6 Pokemon to migrate. u will then be able to catch those exact Pokemon in PalPark once successfully migrated. note you cannot trade the opposite way: from NDS => GBA
