I/O (input/output) refers to how a computer communicates with the outside world. In the Game Boy/Color's Z80-based processor, registers for the input/output range between 0xFF00 to 0xFF70.
The Game Boy/Color has included a huge amount of communication peripherals. One of the most commonly used is the Link Cable; which inspired the Pokémon concept as Satoshi Tajiri was a bug catcher during his childhood, and there were also inspirations from Menko card games, and kaijuu media such as Kamen Rider, Ultraman. Additionally, the Game Boy Color (but not the Game Boy Advance) included a built-in infrared port.
The Japanese version of Pokémon Crystal communicated over the Internet using a mobile phone and the Mobile GB Adapter, but the Mobile GB Adapter fell into relative obscurity and never left Japan.
