RBY 'Pokemon Red,' 'Blue,' 'Yellow' to be Released on 3DS Virtual Console!
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
Well it's nice and all that they made the games able to trade but I just wish they could also add a tiny update called: making the game faster.
After playing gen5 and gen6, it's really hard to get used to the gen1 speed.

Yeah the overall speed of the game is my only gripe with the original games.
A new story has just been posted to PokéBeach's front page:

I'm just glad they aren't $50
^ Second that.
I'll be getting Red.
I'll be getting Red.
I plan on getting Yellow because of the ability to get all starters and Jesse & James being part of the storyline instead of random Team Rocket members. I'll end up getting one of the other two games on my 2DS as then I'll be able to trade with myself. I've actually begun planning a tournament using RBY games with first place prize being my professor mat that has all original 150 Pokemon.
These should really be 5 USD. It would only be worth 10 bucks if it were in 3D or they merged R/B/G into one game, which should be a cake walk. I'd only play through one game but 10 bucks is way too much for a retro game at this point, considering its not even physical.
I've wanted to get that playmat since I had heard about it! Same with the Sycamores that come with it. Sadly im not a professor.
$10, so I assume they'll be like £7.50 over here or something, but ofc we don't know the non-US prices yet, at least I don't think so.
I don't think it was just Nintendo coming up with this price. They figured they wouldn't lose half the potential sales at double the price. I wonder if they even discussed what the drop-off would be at $15. The fans 'have time' and 'have money' because there is no new Pokemon this year. To me they are clearly taking advantage of the fan base and squeezing out an extra $5. No way I'm supporting this.
Lets hope Missingno makes an epic comeback!
Most likely the price increase is because of the updated trading and battling link. I could have lived without but it's good if the kids wanna use it.
No, that doesn't require a lot of resources. You don't need a big team to edit code and test the programming for trading wirelessly. So, the $10 charge more than likely isn't there to be a supplement to pay for the coder's time.
One reason could be, assuming that $10 is really that exorbitant, is that maybe it's only R/B/Y in name alone. The code may have been freshly written by GF's programmers, made to follow modern day code standards. While it may be programmed to look and function just like R/B/Y, it might not be the same game under the hood.
Unless VirtualConsole is a GB engine that allows you to play a true port of an old game, in which case nevermind.
It's still cheaper than the original cartridges were back in the day.

I'm definitely getting Yellow first because it was my very first Pokemon game (which I never got past the first gym in) and I aspire to finally beat it! I may also get Red later because I never beat that either. Although, I did better than in Yellow. I think I got 5 or 6 badges.
Also, $10 isn't bad. Was expecting $5, but its way better than the 1998 cartridge price.

Thats still not worth the additional cost or anything since I'm sure the game still makes references to the link cable. I dont mind paying the 10 bucks but it needs some additional features since trading is Pokemon at its core.
VC is just run in GB mode but they can still edit code to run with it. There are some pretty big game breaking glitches, such as turning the game into a hex editor and having access to whatever you want, in game.
