The message "'''This Game Pak is designed only for use on the Game Boy Color.'''" is(Japanese: anこのカートリッジは [[errorゲームボーイカラー trap]]せんようです。 whichゲームボーイカラーでしょうしてください。), existsas seen in various GameBoy Color games, including Pokémon Crystal. Its purpose, isand toother preventmessages playersare from[[error playingtrap|error Pokémontrapping]] Crystalscreens orthat anotherappear gamein onGame theBoy originalgames GameBoy,that orare Superonly Gameboy if it is incompatiblecompatible with it.the AsGame aBoy result,Color thiswhen errorthey trapare successfullyplayed blockson anya [[gameregular freeze|gameGame freezes]]Boy, orGame [[glitchy]]Boy effectsPocket, whichGame mayBoy happenLight fromor doingSuper so.Game This message might also exist to stop piracy, however this is uncomfirmedBoy.
 
For a few titles such as Chee-Chai Alien, which requires the Game Boy Color's infrared port, a message like this appears when playing the game on a Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP or Game Boy Player as well.
Many [[glitches]] which would usually cause a [[Glitch Dimension]] on Pokémon Gold and Silver, will instead display the "This Game Pak is designed only for use on the Game Boy Color." message in Pokémon Crystal because when the game resets due to a Glitch Dimension, it fails to check what console the player is using, and presumes that he or she is using the original GameBoy.
 
Relevant Pokémon titles include Pokémon Crystal, and the Korean version of Pokémon Gold and Silver; these can only be played on a Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP or Game Boy Player.
 
The message appears after causing a [[Glitch Dimension]] in the relevant Game Boy Color game, because for the game to try to execute the game in Game Boy Color mode the register 'a' must be 11 on start up, but it no longer is after an unexpected reset. See the Glitch Dimension article for more information.
