Even by the standards of the day, they were quite simple - black and white RPGs with pudgy little avatars and static images for monsters. I'm interested to see how people react to Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow when they finally come out next year. More likely they correctly realized that a lot of adults with disposable income were nostalgic for the original 151 monsters, and that they needed something to fill the gap while they worked on whatever was coming next for the series. Perhaps they were moved by the outsized success of Twitch Plays Pokémon, which took the Internet by storm when it appeared out of nowhere last year, giving rise to countless memes. You had to admire Game Freak for sticking to their guns and not releasing a compromised version of their game but with it becoming harder and harder to play the original game without an emulator, it was also kind of unfortunate.Īfter years of denials, though, Game Freak seems to have finally been moved to figure out a way to release the original Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow with the trading functionality intact. Most of had reconciled ourself to Pokémon never being released on Virtual Console when it had become clear that Game Freak would never release a version that lacked the ability to trade monsters. This is obviously a pretty big deal for longtime Pokémon fans.
Even better, it will support a virtual link cable, making it something more than a neutered and soulless ROM. The answer: About nine years (if you count the original Wii).ĭuring today's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo confirmed that the original Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow will be launching on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console next year. From the first moment Nintendo announced that Game Boy games were coming to the Nintendo 3DS, fans wondered how long it would take for Pokémon to finally make it to Virtual Console.
