Is this true? Why did they not put that in?

As far as i can tell it is true.
This is likely due to the current DS (The DSi)
lacking a slot-2, and them not wanting to alienate
those people.
I too lament this omission.

This was a known omission. It is not available in this version. (it was available in MFDS1, but not MFDS2)

This may have been something pushed on Tecmo by Nintendo, to keep up with the newer hardware.

But, Thorr is correct, MF:DS had GBA support. MF:DS2, which the North American game is a port of, did not have GBA support.
