Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow Eshop Release |OT| This Gym is Great! Its Full of Women!

I haven't played B2/W2 but I bought White last year and easily thought it was one of the most enjoyable I had played. Just the fact that they blocked you from catching older Pokemon was great, when I was playing Y I often dropped Pokemon I hadn't seen before for old favorites. Not even giving me my old favorites meant I could take the time to discover new Pokemon.

Great!
Me neither! It's my first time doing it!
Optional rule: Nickname your Pokémon.
Nicknaming is great, I did a Song of Ice and Fire X/Y run, a "people that I know in real life" ORAS run, plus many other old games. I love Nuzlocking and I almost can't play the games without doing it. One rule that I do too is pairing pokemons, so I can only use two in a battle (let's say I have pokemons 1-6, when I get them I pair the ones I'm getting without being able to change it later unless one of them dies).
Is it Game Over when all your Pokémon faint? D:

Yes, I lost once and it was heart breaking. Those girls in HGSS using the eevolutions, god damn them.
I'm in for Pokemon Primeape version.
Can't wait to have those old TMs again like BODY SLAMand softboiled.
I've still got my Pokemon Master Guide laying around so I may bust it out for those Oak tips...
I found a pdf of this one online. Going to use it just like I did in '99:
There's a Lv. 100 Nidoking and Mew that can be caught early on in Pokemon Yellow. Since it's the exact same game outside of recoloring Jynx and the Pikachu surf minigame, it ought to work.
Same. I didn't play much Pokemon after Gold/Silver. That's probably the point where I outgrew the series. There were a few guys that and myself that bought DS Lite and Pokemon Diamond/Pearl games for a college road trip (how dorky were we?). Lost my cartridge and never finished it. X/Y was when I actually sat down and played a Pokemon game again + AS when that came out.
Anyways, Pokemon Bank support for these VC games is very interesting. It isn't just all the stats ... but eh, gender wasn't a thing until 2nd generation games. Going to wonder if gender is going to be a coin toss or based on catch ratios from Gen VI games unless the species is absolutely male or female or genderless.

Wonder how they're going to handle glitches with Bank. Hopefully they go back and do what Stadium 2 did instead of just saying "This game cannot be used with Pokemon Bank. Fix the issues preventing this."
For reference, Stadium 2 would change glitch Pokemon to Ditto and change all levels over 100 to 100.

They might just do what Gen 2 did and determine it by the stats. That would be quite interesting if they had the same conversion table ported to Bank and might imply a certain future VC release.jedivulcan said:

Starting to feel nostalgia, but my Pokemon days are long gone. Maybe for hoenn, maybe.

I vaguely remembered this supposed trick just now where holding a certain button combination during the Pokéball catch animation would always guarantee a catch. Tried googling some info about it and instead get greeted by a site with these totally real schoolground rumours:
(I guess the 'always catch' trick is a gameshark code/nonsense too then)
Ahh that takes me back

I think the bank checks where you've met pokemon at, so if you have a glitched pokemon or one with abilities/stats it can't have, it'll just not allow you to transfer it.

I had blue back in the day but I'm leaning towards yellow because it's in colour. Do you get any of the original starters or just pikachu

Red and blue don't store where you've met a Pokemon.

That check didn't exist until Gen 2 and was unused until Crystal. However, they might be able to block things based on "Was this Magmar caught in Red?" or "Is this Mew caught by anyone else than GF with the ID 22796?"

You start off with Pikachu, all the other three can be gotten quite early (I think?) by talking to a bunch of new NPCs placed in the world.
You can have all of them after you beat Lt. Surge(Officer Jenny gives you Squirtle as soon as you beat him), as long as your Pikachu's happiness is kept high, the lady that gives away the Bulbsaur looks out for how happy Pikachu is.
One good trick I used to do as a kid was to get the potion from the PC at the very start, get Pikachu, immediately use the potion five times on it, beat my rival in the first fight and ta-da! Pikachu instantly loves me <3
Oh!
Going to try this.
For those of you who are getting the bundle, do you know how pre-installed games work on 3DS?
Like, if I transfer all my stuff to the New 3DS, it keeps the Pokemon games, I'm sure.
But then, does it tie it to my NNID so if I ever want to go back to an XL for some reason, I keep the VC games?

After you transfer to the N3DS, you need to redownload Red & Blue off the eShop (They will be in your download history).
I believe once you transfer to a N3DS, you can only transfer between N3DS & N3DS XL systems.

The gameboy emulator on the 3ds supports the color palette swapping a la GBC right?
So is it then tied to my account where if I transfer back to the XL the games are still mine to use?
Nope. A GB game looks black/white. A GBC game has the same color it had.
Unfortunately not. If you want colour, you have to get Pokemon Yellow.

that's so lame, even the GBC could do it. I guess I'm playing yellow for the first time.
But the black and white had its charms. Idk.

If you transfer the games are added to your account. You should be able to transfer to a N3DS XL (You can't go from a N3DS to a standard 3DS, unfortunately)
Only a matter of time until it's up in the US!

Oh, ok.
Yeah, as long as I can go from my N3DSXL to the N3DS and maybe back to the N3DSXL eventually, I'm happy.

Ace! Already downloaded and started Yellow. Oh the nostalgia!
Sutton Dagger

Oh wow definitely getting yellow then. How do I make sure he is happy enough to get them, can you check its happiness. I'm so excited to play gen 1 again. I never really felt the same thing for latter Gens.

You keep him healthy and use him. You can check happiness by interacting with him in the overworld.
You can turn and face the Pikachu and "talk" to it. A Pikachu face will pop up and it changes depending on mood.

It's not up in the E-Shop in Ireland

Cheers guys. I'll look up a guide so I don't miss them.
Hope it's up on the Aussie store when I get home
