GBA and DS Regional question

All other video games not related to the main farming series - Pokemon, Stardew Valley, My Time at Portia, and other indie-developed games.

I have a random question!

Can you play a PAL region Gameboy Advanced game on an American Nintendo DS?

I'd like to play Hamtaro Rainbow Rescue, but the only english version that came out was for the PAL region, so I'm wondering if I could play it on my DS which I bought in America.

It should be OK, but don't fully take my word for it. The only DS that had region lock was the DSi. I had a ton of Japanese DS games back in the day and played them all no problem on a Lite. It would make sense that the gba attached is also region free.

All GBA aren't region locked because I used to import GBA games for my micro.

Neither the DS nor GBA has region lock.
