It's confirmed to be accessible without the required Surfing Pikachu from Stadium.

The minigame is playable without that pikachu now.

oh shiiiiiiiit

now I don't know which one I want. Blue has Meowth, but that minigame...

 

[Anth0ny]

these are some great games

everyone should play them. again.

 

[Maintenance]

I'm in, Red first.

 

[Hero of Legend]

So from the looks of it these are cursed with the darkening issue of Wii U VC games, and it's not just me is it?

 

[Champion]

I'll be buying all 3 when I get home. I have no intentions of replaying them any time soon but they're nice to have.

Yellow looks okay, but yeah, you can definitely see it in R/B.

I'll still play 'em regardless, but it's definitely disappointing.

 

[RecRoulette]

Three things I learned today.

1. Pokemon bank compatibility
2. Yellow has the minigame
3. It's in color

 

[Dark Stalkers]

Does that mean the Pikachu in Yellow can learn Surf now or nah?

 

[woopWOOP]

I remember playing HG/SS and seeing the line changed to 'It's full of Great Trainers!'
Those localization censors can't keep getting away with this!!

Anyway, don't think I can stop myself from throwing down 10 bucks for this. Gotta re-catch my old crew of monsters so my stuffed boxes of ported Pokemon teams feels complete again

 

[105.Will]

cant wait to play this at work when my boss leaves

 

[backlot]

Does that mean the Pikachu in Yellow can learn Surf now or nah?

No, it just lets you play the minigame.

 

[poodaddy]

These were the only Pokemon games I ever gave a shit about, wouldn't mind giving them another look. I wonder if they've aged well.....

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Are they up in the US yet?

 

[killertofu]

Wait, there are physical copies in Japan?

Are 3DS' region locked? I'm going there the end of April...

 

[PreyingShark]

It's just a box with a download code. And yes, 3DSes are region-locked. There are ways around that if you haven't updated your 3DS recently but I don't believe any of them would help with a download code.

 

[backlot]

Are they up in the US yet?

They'll probably go up at midnight Eastern. That's 7.5 hours from now.

 

[L.O.R.D]

mew glitch is possible on Yellow

 

[KelpPlankton]

Getting Red just like I had back in the day, was already looking forward to replaying it after so long but the Pokemon Bank compatability has driven my hype skyward. So excited to be able to bring all my new buddies forward into 3D games.

If they let people bring Mew to the new gen it would be an awesome middle finger to Gamestop. I know it won't have the pentagon, but screw that.

We need an Oprah "You get a Mew! You get a Mew!" gif.

 

[Firemind]

Gonna do a Nuzlocke run. Who's with me?

Rules:
1. Any Pokémon that faints is considered dead, and must be released or put in Bill's computer permanently.
2. You may only catch the first Pokémon encountered in each area, and none else. If the first Pokémon encountered faints or flees, there are no second chances.
3. No save scumming.

I will, when I get Blue.

I'll do it I have never done this before because I hate erasing saves.

Oh shit. Can anyone check if missingno works in Red and Blue?


Edit: Wait, just realized that that's late game.

 

[Serpens007]

Fuck yeah. Getting Yellow it is.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Spoiler

PRAISE HELIX!

I remember the good old days of playing this and watching the anime after school. Will likely pick up Red again. May even get Yellow.

 

[backlot]

Various sources have already confirmed that it does.

 

[Son Of D]

I know this is for VC versions of RBY but I wonder if we'll see GSC re-released eventually.

 

[JoeM86]

This game has such bullshit mechanics. I forgot how bad it was

 

[Crayolan]

I will, when I get Blue.

No, they're busy with their 2nd anniversary Crystal run atm.

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

Getting all of them. 100% each one. Down for this shit!

 

[Maintenance]

No, they're busy with their 2nd anniversary Crystal run atm.

What a shame.

 

[JJBro One]

can charizard finally fly now?

 

[JoeM86]

can charizard finally fly now?

Only in Yellow

 

[Dishwalla]

Charizard could learn Fly in Yellow, assume it's still the same.

Nope, have aged horribly. But still worth a go I guess.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

I've bought so many games recently, I shouldn't dip on this.

But I so want to.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

I really want Pokemon Silver on e shop best game of all time

Guess I'll have to wait till sun and moon to evolve pikachu

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Would I be able to download from the Bank to Sun at the beginning or would it be like PalPark in gen 4 where you need to finish the game first?


Also are these VCs only playable at 1X speed or can they be played at 2X or 3X? The snails pace of Gen 1 and 2 is when I've always preferred the remakes since they each came out.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Democracy or Anarchy?

First question is unknown right now.

I don't believe there is a speed option.

 

[ramoisdead]

I like my Pokemon games to have 151. It's the reason why I abandoned this franchise. Now I'm thinking of getting Blue since that was my first and only mainline Pokemon game I ever played but give me some reasons why I should choose Red or Yellow instead.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

They should release Pokémon Stadium 2 in VC so I can emulate my emulation.

genwunners make me giggle lol

 

[SuperSonic1305]

I've been playing Yellow for the past year. Caught Articuno with my first Ultra Ball throw. Catching Scyther took me like 10 hours.

 

[Glix]

I imported the yellow transparent 2DS from Amazon.fr... hoping it shows up next week and is in English. Lol, I did zero research but want that transparent yellow!

What a fun looking piece of hardware. I support your decision

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

genwunners make me giggle lol

Gen 2 was the last good Pokémon gen.

Spoiler

I kid, I haven't played any after except for the remakes since I outgrew handheld gaming about a year into the GBA when I didn't have to go with my parents everywhere and could stay home. Now I have the expendable income to get back into it.

 

[L95]

At least they said 151 instead of 150, that always.... confused? me.

Play Black 2 or White 2. Best up there with Platinum.

 

[Firemind]

I will, when I get Blue.

Me neither! It's my first time doing it!

Optional rule: Nickname your Pokémon.

I'm getting all three so I might do a nuzlocke for one of them. Yellow I kind of want to do an Ash tribute team (Pikachu/Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle/Pidgeotto/Butterfree, no evolving except for Butterfree, you can catch Pidgeotto in Viridian Forest).

It would be cool if they did a localized Green that had the Pokemon encounters from the Japanese Blue version. They changed some things like being able to find Lickitung in the wild, but Tauros and Kangaskhan only being in-game trades.
