Guys, the Gold 3DS XL isn't exclusive to the Pokemon Centres any more. Other places are selling it, too.
I choose to take this as unambiguous confirmation that they're going to bring it to the West.
It's the only thing short of a compelling new revision of the hardware that would get me to give up my Red XL.

The point is that we have an Amazon in the West. We don't have a Pokèmon Centre.
Well, I think the example of the Pikachu 3DS XL shows that Japanese Pokémon Centre exclusivity means little to the West. If they think it'll sell, it'll come over.
Same here, best Pokemon themed handheld in a very long time. I'm waiting to just get rid of my Animal Crossing one if it is revealed for USA. Heck, I may even import it if it's only for Europe.
It's like Arceus itself came down and blessed us.
Admittingly, I really could not care less about the blue one.
Finish it off with false swipe!
Ok thanks, still debating it though, far from finished with Black and I still want to spend some more time in Platinum and SoulSilver.
On that note, I'm trying to complete the Unova Dex in Black, so I turned to the GTS for some of the White-only Pokémon. I managed to get Tirtouga, but Solosis is a lot tougher, people are either asking for legendaries or impossible Pokémon (lvl<9 Conkeldurr... why???).
Does anyone wanna help? I'd also love a Tepig, I got an Oshawott from my JP White but I really don't want to have to restart that game for the final starter since I'm going through it slow as it is, and I want to get at least to the E4 in that game for Zekrom and Thundurus.
Edit:
Also, which scenario do you guys think is more likely to happen? Gen III (RSE/FRLG, all of it!) remakes in Gen VI or the games being rereleased on the 3DS GBA store? Gen III is the only gen I "skipped" since my parents didn't think I needed a new handheld and by the time I was old enough to buy my own I went with a DSlite and Diamond. I played through most of Sapphire/Emerald/FireRed on emulators every now and then (I was a kid and this was a decade ago, there's a statute of limitations on these things, right?), but that's not the same and I want to be able to purchase and legally play those games. Nintendo will keep me disappointed, won't they?
3DS doesn't even have a GBA store at the moment, and Pokémon hasn't appeared on the GB store yet, so Virtual Console releases are very unlikely. I wouldn't bet 100% on 3DS remakes, but it's certainly possible - 3rd gen is definitely overdue for remaking!
You could always Ebay them if you have a GBA/DS. If you do, be very careful you don't get one of the very common counterfeit copies - you have to know what you're looking for. I'm sure PokéGAF could help you out with that
I'm just scared to splurge and have that happen again (or splurge and have them be announced for 3DS a month later...)I thought there were already GBA games out on 3DS? (or is this something else? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...3DS_(North_America)#Nintendo_Game_Boy_Advance)
As for buying a cartridge now, I've thought about it many times (I really want an excuse to buy a Micro haha), but I've heard that their inner batteries die just like the GSC ones.. I have four cartridges from Gen II, they're all dead, including my Silver with 400+ hours in it, legitimate "complete" Pokédex (only missing Celebi), and a shitton of legitimate 100s
