>It has been announced that Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow are to be released on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in Europe on February 27th 2016. The release of these games includes special link cable capabilities of the games to allow for battle and trading over the local wireless connection of the Nintendo 3DS.
Time to get a 3ds then I guess
I don't remember... Does yellow have all the Pokémon?
>>316451358
You mean remakes right?
>>316451648
No. It has a mix of Pokemon from both Red and Blue and and Blue
>>316451358
At fucking last I can play Pokemon again without all the breeding crap on a console without recurring to emulation.
>>316451358
Don't forget that it's still Red, Blue, and Yellow we are talking about, and even with wireless working, the player vs player battles will still be the weird buggy mess.
Do we know the price?
Will they patch the Missingno bullshit?
Can we get Pikablu?
What if they remove the truck?
>>316451970
60 dollarydoos each
*179* dollarydoos for the pack, preorder now!
>fixed missingno
>fixed mew glitch
>fixed golden nugger bridge glitch
IT'S
>>316451648
It's mainly missing the Team Rocket pokemon, Jynx, Magmar, Electabuzz and I think the Weedle line. Also Raichu.
>>316452063
And then they'll probably add some shit like 'buy pokeballs with real money'...
>>316451970
Not really, but we have this
>Japan will receive Pokémon Red, Green, Blue and Yellow and will also be released in a special bundle which comes with the download code, magnet of the cartridge, manual and a map for 1,389¥
>>316452183
mew glitch is scary. Half the time on my Blue Mew doesn't have any moves and the game freezes when battling unless I taught it some moves prior.
>>316452183
JUST
>>316451970
In Japan they're going to sell eshop preorder cards for $10 each, but they come with a magnet, map, and instruction manual so that might inflate the price.
I'd say between $7 (like the usual GBC game) and $10.
It'll be $10 If they want to push that they had to fix the game's fucked up code to even get it to work with wireless trading and battling, because holy fuck that code is shitty.
>>316452325
That's like 11 dollars
Doesn't even seem worthy of doing a physical release or anything
There are a million fanhacks of it, some of which include systemic updates like the Special split and even the Physical/Special split of 4th gen. In color.
No point going back.
How the hell are you supposed to get Mew if there's noreal life event?
>>316451358
yey more useless nostalgia cash-grabs no one asked for from a desperate company
NINTENDO DOES IT AGAIN!
>>316452518
You're not. Why would you even think that programmer joke is integral to the game experience?
And even though you're not supposed to get Mew, doesn't mean you aren't going to fucking get him anyway if you know your shit.
>>316452518
There's always the Wigglytuff glitch.
I like that last gen Nintendo acted like people who'd just discovered the internet, and this gen they're acting like people who'd just discovered emulation. Shit your 8-year-old self was all over.
Do they actively try to think like 8-year olds, to make better kids games or something?
>>316452635
You sure sound like a faget,but thanks for the explanation, you jerk
>>316452817
Go to bed if your eyes are tearing up from that.
>>316452518
Mew will be a spotpass event.
Mark my words.
Can you still manipulate reality to your will to catch all 151 Pokemon in about 2 hours?
>>316452518
You're not. It's just like any other secret club item in games.
Did you ever end up being able to get that flame helmet thing in halo 3?
>>316452916
Come verga
>>316452384
They are probably counting on it selling enough to bring massive dosh home
>>316451648
No game let's your catch them all.
>>316451358
HOLDY GOLDBAT?!does this mean we'll have massive battle royals again for the originals
I've always wanted to battle with another player on my copy of Blue!
>>316451358
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SOURCE PLS
>>316455317
Today's direct anon.
Enjoy having crits tied to speed, never melting from freeze, and no abilities or anything good.
>>316455489
>crits tied to speed
CHARIZARD AND PERSIAN ARE BACK BABY, YEAH
>they're probably going to fix the Missingno, M, and New glitches
I'll wait to buy until I get a confirmation they're in.
>>316455454
ok
another quick question - it is going to be available in NA, right?
>>316455695
Watch the direct anon.
Literally WHY are people excited for this? How is this any cooler or more special than other game boy eshop releases? Because of wireless trading? Nigga do you know enough people for that to even matter? Just emulate the games if you want to play them again.
>>316451358
>Pokémon X and Y with Snorlax blocking path, Mewtwo in dungeon, Viridian Forest clone, Kanto starters
>Pokémon GO with only Gen One Pokémon
>Now this
Whelp. That tears it. Game Freak is only pandering to Genwunners from now on. Fuck them.
>>316455738
fuck, you got my hype levels up.
will do that, thanks
hopefully we get 2nd gen up on e-shop sometime in the future, too
Gen 1 was pretty shit. Just saying, senpai. I loved them as a kid, but they haven't aged too well.
>>316455489
This. I don't really get why anyone's excited, gen 1 may have been fun back in the day, but it's super broken and it's easy to see as an adult. Fuck Bind in those games, holy shit.
>>316455489
>Muh competitive
Do you enjoy anything anymore?
>>316456941
Not that anon, but even on a casual level, the game lacks any kind of depth at all in gen 1. Bind is the definition of no fun allowed and some moves like Focus Energy actually don't even work. There's a reason why gen 1 was marketed solely towards children and that they didn't acknowledge adult players until much later.
>>316452325
>>Japan will receive Pokémon Red, Green, Blue and Yellow and will also be released in a special bundle which comes with the download code, magnet of the cartridge, manual and a map for 1,389¥
Source?
Have they fixed the dozens of bugs the original games have?
Is there Missigno?
Can I catch Mew?
Do R/G/B have the balance mechanics of Yellow? Are there new game balance adjustments?
Does this mean also Gen 2 games will be released in the E-Shop? Can I transfer the ones in these over? Can I Pokemon Bank them?
Weird living weird times.
>>316457402
>that they didn't acknowledge adult players until much later.
Have they ever?
>>316457402
You honestly think they will not fix any bugs from the originals?
>>316457613
>Have they fixed the bugs
Too soon to tell.
>Is there Missingno?
They said they weren't going to tamper with too much of the code, so maybe?
>Can I catch Mew
lolno
>Do R/G/B have Yellow's balances
I don't think so.
>Does this mean Gen II games will also be released
I hope so.
>Can I Pokemon Bank them
In a perfect world, maybe.
>>316457646
Things like the super training in recent games outright acknowledge mechanics that only older players know anything about, something that they'd stayed quiet about for years. And the protagonists suddenly jumped from being about 10 to being closer to 16 in BW.
>>316457675
You honestly think they will? If anything, they'll just fix the more famous ones that people would want to remain, like Missingno related stuff, and just leave the things people don't tend to know about, like stats cycling round to 0 if they go too high.
>>316457402
Why would you ever play any pokemon game competitivly. Its basically a guessing game shit fest. Play it for fun you stupid fucking idiots. Hurr durr guys it has depth because i have to GUESS AND HOPE I OUTPLAYED MY OPPONENETS GUESSES. Which is basically rng. Pokemon is a shitty joke competitivly
>all these millenials trying to shit on the most popular pokemon games
Just don't download them.
Personally I can't wait to play through the game with friends and battle after every gym.
>>316457879
I don't play pokemon games competitively, gen 1 just has really shit mechanics, that's the point.
>it has depth because i have to GUESS AND HOPE I OUTPLAYED MY OPPONENETS GUESSES
You mean like every competitive game ever? Competition is all about predicting your opponents' moves, anon
>>316457402
>gen 1 was marketed solely towards children and that they didn't acknowledge adult players until much later
maybe because it's a children's game
>They add compatibility with Pokemon Bank
>no wifi connection
ONE MOTHERFUCKING JOB
>>316458136
Yes, that's what I'm saying, anon. Children don't have the capacity to analyse and really appreciate anything to the same level that adults do.
Children like Sonic Boom, but no sane adult would. Whilst Gen 1 Pokemon isn't on that level of bad, it's still pretty fucked and people only liked it because they were kids at the time.
Besides, if you really want to play Gen 1, go emulate it instead. Don't give Nintendo money for this lazy shit.
>>316458241
What's the point?
XY and ORAS are pretty much all you need to complete the pokedex these days bar the 4th gen starters.
>>316458241
90% of gen I/II Pokemon will be complete garbage because IVs didn't count towards the stats back then.
However, stuff like Snorlax or Machoke would be insanely OP with the latter even having a KO move that would hit every single time.
honestly I'd say fixing the bugs would be a bad move
Sure the games were ungodly buggy but in a way it adds to their charm. I mean Missingo, despite being a bug, was more popular back in the days than half the 'mons on the roster. And shit like the mew glitch or glitch city are way to famous by now to ignore.
>>316457613
>Can I Pokemon Bank them?
You mean so they can be transfered to X/Y/OR/AS?
Not unless they completely overhall the games.
>>316452518
Trade it from Pokemon Go
>>316451358
>local
they had one fucking job
>>316458441
I don't want to give nintendo money for any overpriced eshop games, but it's so much better to play pokemon on the nintendo portable comparet to some pc
>>316458580
>mew glitch or glitch city
So you came back to it post blue/red I guess? Sure we remember these things now, but if you were an actual red/blue player at launch you wouldn't have been in on these things.
>>316458676
If you really want to play it portable, any phone could emulate it too.
>>316458474
>4th Gen StartersYou can get one of them in ORAS if you beat the Elite Four a certain number of times.
>>316458580
>a way it adds to their charm
Now it does, back then they were a pain in the ass.
>>316458556
IVs counted toward stats in gen 1, what are you on about?
There were just only 16 different values as opposed to 32
>>316458738
that's why I said "by now"
And Missingno by itself is sufficient justification for not fixing the bugs given that its the glitch that launched a thousand playground rumors
It was just in every way perfect. It was weird as shit but simultaneously incredibly useful and required a roundabout way to reach it very similar to quests or hidden secrets in games around that era to the point that plenty of kids assumed it was actually meant to be in or hidden on purpose
>>316452620
Wow, it's almost like you are looking for excuses to be a retarded mong on /v/.
You might want to step back from this site before you bring more of your kind in there.
>>316458854
>missingno
>pain in the ass
>not ungodly useful
and no, you didn't notice the various game balance bugs as a kid
>>316457497
>Doesn't know the source
Seriously?
http://pokeshopper.com/news.html
>>316458842
So is there anything other than event pokemon you can't get solely from gen 6?
>>316459002
Sorry, that shit wasn't in the English Direct.
>>316452518
If you bought a red, blue, or yellow cartridge today, how would you be expected to get it?
>>316457402
you should consider killing yourself
this shit pretty much has always been a children's / casual's game.
and i cant fucking wait to buy it again.
wish i still had my original cartridges
>not Leaf Green/Fire Red
"MUH NOSTALGIA"
>>316457402
I wish I could tell my younger self what to do when the opponent uses Bind.Don't attack, switch
>>316459413
Moves like bind trap you though.
>>316459413
>gen 1
>try to switch when binded
this fuckin guy
I can't play RBY without Dodrio speed
While a solid announcement, they should have done this years ago
>>316459453
>>316459528
Not in Gen 1. It stopped you from fleeing and attacking, didn't stop you from switching.
Gen 1 was dumb
>>316452192
You can evolve your pichachu I believe
>>316459372
My thoughts exactly. They were great games when they came out, but the subsequent iterations improved so much on them that I wouldn't even consider replaying the originals over FR/LG now.
>>316451358
Why are people so hyped about this. You can emulate them perfectly for years now and even play it on smartphone
>>316459694
Only if you trade it to another game, use a stone, then trade it back.
>>316459821
I always wondered if it would work if you traded a second Pikachu into the game.
Or does it treat all Pikachu as your personal starter Pikachu?
>>316459806
I like how they added local wireless.
I can't play GEN 2 for example on phones with my girlfriend with *all* the features intact. (She has Apple, I have Sony. There's no viable Mystery Gift on phones.)
>>316459950
I think a Second pikachu acts like normal, I think it may even use the same old 'static' cry
>muh gen 1 was a broken piece of shit
i don't give a shit if it wasn't perfectly competitive balanced, i just want to play the games on my 3ds without using a flash card. why do i want that?i'm secretly obsessed with tracking game times on 3ds and i check mine every week or so, flash card only has one game time so i can't tell how long i've spent playing each individual pokemon game. weird, i know
What's a good fire red hack where I can catch em all? I wanna patch it with that physical special split patch
>>316451358
Who gives a fuck?
Who the fuck would play those games now in 2015?
And if you already played them on GB why would you play them again?
>>316459186
>>316452518
just do the trainer fly glitch
>>316460309
yes anon i'm certain you've never played any game twice before, who would ever do that?
>>316458580
If I were in charge of the port I'd be a total fuck about it. Like putting an actual mew under that truck.
>>316459183
Typical Nintendo
>>316460225
You know your saves on Red/Blue track how long you've been playing for, right?
>>316460373
I just can't justify playing old Pokemon games when the newer generations are better in absolutely every way.
You guys do know that ROMS exist right? You could literally be playing Red and Blue right now.
Are you people idiots?
>>316460449
>Red/Blue
>saves
mine have been dead for years
>>316460475
Read >>316459995
Emulating just isn't always viable. Especially if they're fixing bugs and updating the original game.
>>316460475
Eh, if people will buy a rom for 3DS for $10, I'd say let them. Is this really worth shitposting over?
Oh, right, where do I think I am
The glitches will all be in tact, like any other VC release. The only thing that has changed will be the link cable features (which will be replaced by wireless local communication). Although seeing as I still have a copy of the original GB game and a copy of the GBA remake, I see no reason to buy this. If they make it compatible with Pokemon Bank, then I might consider it. But this seems highly unlikely seeing as gen 1 and 2 use a completely different EV/IV system.
>>316460515
Just replace the battery on the cartridge. You won't recover your saves, obviously, but you'll be able to save on it again.
>>316460619
it's more convenient to just get the game on 3DS where i have a sizable downloaded library, rather than have to carry around a game boy advance sp or something to play pokemon onplus, those dank 3DS game times
>People honestly want all the bugs fixed
It just wouldn't be gen 1 if I can't give myself infinite masterballs, fuck up my hall of fame history and perform the Mew glitch.
If you want fixed RB just play FRLG. This whole release is nothing more than fan service and the release date should have made it obvious.
>>316459413
What did bind do in gen 1?
>>316460734
locks you in place as long as the attack goes on, like with wrap. both became moves that just hurt you every turn but didn't stop you from attacking in later gens
>>316451358
But can I still do the mew glitch?
>>316460728
>If you want fixed RB just play FRLG.
It's obviously not the same thing. Don't you get it? We're nostalgia fags. Or simply prefer 8-bit sprites.
>>316460786
>We're nostalgia fags
RB without all the bugs isn't nostalgic.
>>316460804
>If you're into nostalgia you can't criticize anything old.
>>316458762
>playing on a touch screen
never.
>>316460764
Why do the mew glitch? Just have your parents take you to toysrus to get one
>>316458583
technically pokemon stadium could already pull pokemons from the save and do their stuff, they'd just need to be converted to the new format once extracted by the bank, it would be hard to convert back though and probably not supported in that direction but I don't see why it couldn't be done as a one-way thing
>>316460869
>Everyone are americlaps
>>316460845
You certainly can't patch up a 20 year old game that was host to some of the well known and famous glitches in video games history and claim you're playing it for nostalgia.
All that shit was part of people's experiences.
>no online battles
I would kill for a game that wasn't swarmed with people using teams of 6 Legendary Pokemon.
>/v/ talks about gen 1
>"mew glitch"
>"broken game mechanics"
>"muh psychics"
>"missingno"
>"muh nostalgia"
>nothing about the actual content of the game apart from glitches or game mechanics
>>316461145
Would you rather see Alakazam, Gengar, Scyther and Mewtwo over and over instead?
Maybe I can finally catch Mew legally.
>>316461172
Because there's nothing left to actually fucking discuss. These games are nearly two decades old.
>>316461121
Maybe yours. Not necessarily mine.
I would happily play the shit out of GEN 1 if that bug list was fixed. Why? Because I fucking enjoy the aesthetics, sound and gameplay.
>>316461172
The games' mechanics are fucking broken
>>316461145
Are you retarded?
>>316461287
>Maybe yours. Not necessarily mine.
No, Anon. This does not apply to gen 1. The bugs range from fundamental mechanical issues to far-out sequence based stuff like the Mew glitch.
You experienced something whether you liked it or not.
>>316461351
Regardless. Fixing them would still make the game more enjoyable. Atleast for me.
>>316461145
Uh... Battle people who aren't fags or just sweep their shitty three IV legendaries
I adore genwun but fuck buying it again until they give me a proper remaster.
>>316461420
I doubt they'd want to devout the time or effort to fixing literally everything in a game that's fundamentally borked:
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_glitches_in_Generation_I
>>316461320
>>316461351
the game isn't fucking perfect and has unrefined mechanics, alright? that doesn't make the whole thing completely garbage not worth playing, they're still solid games that a lot of people both when it was released and now enjoy playing. i say if people want to buy the games on 3DS that's fucking spectacular, let people enjoy what they want to enjoy even if it's not flawless
>>316461557
>the game isn't fucking perfect and has unrefined mechanics, alright? that doesn't make the whole thing completely garbage not worth playing
Nobody said that.
If they can patch it to work with the 3d's infrared connection why not make it fully online?
>>316461678
Because they're just pushing them onto virtual console. This isn't some 3D Classics deal.
>>316459615
No, bind and similar proves prevented you from doing anything in gen1 retard
>Time to get a 3ds then I guess
Welp, I guess so. FireRed was the only reason I got a GBA, and the only game I ever owned on it (they were fairly cheap at the time so I thought why the fuck not). It was fun to revisit the old games but all the new added shit kinda ruined it, I'm kinda hype to replay the originals. Been thinking about getting my nephew one for Xmas and then we can trade and whatnot.
>>316458241
If they couldn't make GSC compatible with RS then they won't bother with this. Maybe if they release gen 3 on VC.
>>316461557
You asked to discuss the mechanics, my criticism is that base mechanics are broken as fuck.
>>316461792
>It was fun to revisit the old games but all the new added shit kinda ruined it
>>316461528
especially since the coding is so awful even a year after they released the game they had no idea how to replicate it and transfer data from it to the N64 version of Pokemon Stadium.
Maybe it'd be easier now to rework it from the bottom up but it'd still be a lot of work for a virtual console game.
>>316461121
It's this list of glitches that make gen 1 actually fun and interesting to play. You guys know that they are STILL finding out new things about gen 1 to this day? We found out that NO move of the same type as the attacked Pokemon may inflict a secondary status effect. Normal types are immune to Body Slam paralysis. Ghost types are immune to Lick paralysis.
