Isn't it time for GBA union improvement?

I think that the DS compatibility is almost a 100% (if not 100%), and we know that GBA improvements are not coming due to hardware issues. so, why don't we start "asking" (well, more like requiring) for a better GBA union support? I think it's something that is pretty unique on the SC series, and since it works partially, Romman could use some of his time to improve that support. and with Pokemon D/P almost coming, that would be a really sweet feature to have.

so how do we get in contact with Romman to ask him a better compatibility in this area? does someone here know him to ask him directly if an improvement is possible? what do you guys think?

While I can't help you on how to contact Romman, I can add that I agree with this proposal.  While GBA Union is not the most important feature, it seems as though some key/popular games use it, or are going to use it.  You, for instance, cited Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl.  I have no doubt in my mind that these will become the most popular games for the DS (just look at the best selling games for the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance).  People are going to be asking every day how to get their Pokemon from a GBA game to a DS game.  Let me give you a "pre enactment" (being a word I just made up on the spot).

hi guyz
i just g0t my superard an wanna git my poke'mans from my all poke gams on teh gba. they r so awesom i am teh best trainer.  but how to i get them on ds games???/ i hav tri3d every thing and can't get em to work. i must catch tehm or i wil not b best.  i want them OVER NINE-THOUSAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or something along those lines.  Yeah...Anyway, if the Slot-2 SuperCards don't support GBA Union for these games, I have a feeling there will be a lot of confusion, and if they don't work, then I can also see a lot of disappointment.  Again, GBA Union is definitely not the most important feature to be worked on (basic compatibility with all games should be the top priority), but it would be a very nice feature to make the DS support feel more complete.

but that's my point. afaik, compatibility on DS games is already perfect, if not near it. I've been able to play every game I've put on my SC Lite, being the only one with problems Castlevania PoR (hang randomly, but this could have been fixed on one of the latests releases, my SC Lite is kind of outdated, just because I saw no reason to update it).

that's why I think that Romman could work on this potentally awesome feature. it seems that it already works on some games, so it only would have to be improved.

I don't see how DS One would support GBA Union, since it doesn't load GBA at all.

Doesn't it already support GBA union?  You just need a GBA card.  :)
