So Nintendo, no Pokemon on virtual console?!

I was shocked when I first got my 3DS at christmas that there was none of the old Pokemon games on the Virtual Console. Half a year later and they still aren't here? I'd pay bucket loads just to get that nostalgic feeling once more. I still have the original cartridges but no Game Boy Colour or Advance to play them on (I traded in my advanced SP for a micro). Anyone else think they should be there?

Absolutely. The GBA Pokemon games in particular were awesome :D

By the way, the Micro is backwards compatible with GBA games.

Why no fr/lg option fr/lg>r/b imo

any ways i would love to see gen 3 on vc g/s not really as i own hg/ss(>>>>g/s/c)

sure there will be gen 3 remakes but though could be years. so a port would be nice for now

Yes I've been playing my 3rd gen pokemon games on there for ages :D Sorry I should have made that clearer, I can't play the GBC ones on my micro, 2nd gen and below etc :P

Virtual console is all about nostalga and having the originals on there, which is why I never put LG/FR on there because they are remakes of the originals :)

TBH I don't see any of these games been added to the 3DS Virtual Console, the games lose there two most important features when taken away from there original systems, you can't trade Pokemon meaning you can't complete you Pokedex and you can't battle your friends, if they can find a way to make them work then maybe they'll be added but as it is I can't see it happening.

That said if they did add Pokemon Yellow, I would pick it up.

Super mario advance 2:yoshi island,and LADX proves this is not true im not saying r/b/y can't be there it's just if it was either that or fr/lg i would pick fr/lg

Yes I highly doubt it but why would they? Maybe Fire Red & Leaf Green but other wise they could not give us remakes. They will not release them just because they want to do remakes. They are all not that far apart from each other and can still connect. Really no reason to give us the old ones when the remakes are still playable and connectable. I say maybe remakes but no releasing the old on virtual console. Pointless.

I would rather they make 3D Classics: Pokemon Blue and Red with fixed inventory management and online play, but failing that, of course.

They should be there, but they aren't ever going to be. They can just do a cheap remake and charge full price, like they've done with Fire Red/ Leaf Green and Heart Gold/ Soul Silver.

But if that is the case why have they put Kirby's dream land, Pac-man, and Tetris from the original game boy onto the virtual console if they have all had remakes that are still 'playable' and 'connectable'? The whole point of the 'virtual console' is to give the old games some more life, so I see no harm in simply putting them onto the virtual store.

Ok quit trolling they added A LOT of thing to hg/ss for one thing g/s never had online play and you couldn't refight gym leaders i could name several other things hg/ss added but you obviously think any remake is lazy because hg/ss s by far the remake they put the most effort into even oot got a remake they had less effort put into.

I still can't believe they haven't done it yet. They could charge $30 per game and people would still buy them. Plus, it's not like they are making money off the games anymore. They're missing a lot of potential money. I wish somebody would actually ask Nintendo about this at a press conference or something.

Patience,my friends,patience.

Some day...some day.

Its what the hardcore wants, so Nintendo wont give it to them.

To be honest, I don't want any Pokemon on the VC unless there's the ability to transfer Pokemon to B/W or the upcoming B/W2. But that's just me :PKenny789

I know I've been wanting to see Pokemon Yellow & Crystal on the Virtual Console.

Hopefully Red/Blue will be released by the end of this year. At this point they are just holding on to software until 3DS hardware becomes profitable in a couple of months.

Just give me emerald. I miss that game so bad. I put 300+ hours into it only to lose the cartridge on a school trip when I was 10! What an extremely sad day that was:cry:

Yup, clearly trolling here. That's why I have a Pokemon avatar and have purchased every single release, including remakes, outside of Ruby/Sapphire or the Fire Red/Leaf Green remakes.

They didn't add that much to HG/SS remakes that wasn't already in Crystal or DPPt, and the stuff they did add wasn't difficult to add. Rechallenging gym leaders? Not exactly hard to program or design. They didn't add much, don't kid yourself.

I think some people have lost sight of what legit "trolling" is.

Anyway, I simply wish Nintendo would put some SNES games on the 3DS VC. It can't be that difficult.

^This. Ports in general aren't hard to do at all, so porting games with almost the same button layout, and with low graphics performance would barely take any work on there behalf. And they'd still be earning money from it!

I say if they were to put classic pokemon games on the 3DS/WiiU it would have to be an hybrid version. Where all the pokemon is avaible on game, & might take away trading & interacting with other players. Which it would be no biggy to me, because I generally play pokemon by myself. But it might be for some who likes the Pokemon community.

As someone who owns the amazingly common pokemon games, I'm uninterested in a VC release. If they have nothing else to release, or if they make a pokemon 3ds that allows you to take pokemon from the vc games, then sure.ultramega9

but the battery will never die on the VC versions... :P

Why is this old thread bumped?
