It would be cool if they added gen 2 as well then somehow made it so that you could transfer pokemon to the bank app. I know that won't happen, but it would fix how gen 1 and 2 are cut off from the rest of the franchise.

I remember discussing this with my brother a month ago, and I told him that a Pokemon port to the virtual console was never going to happen. Then this Direct happened, and now I'm hyped about everything.

If I were to get any of them I would probably get Yellow for the updated sprites and changes to the gameplay.

If it's compatible with Poke Bank, I'm so going to get it...

If it's not... I'll probably get it anyway...

You could just buy the original games, Pokemon Stadium 2, and a transfer pak.

This is awesome news; the newer generation of Trainers are finally getting their chance to experience the early 8-bit era of Pokémon as well as earlier Trainers getting the chance to relive the past. Here's hoping the Generation 2 versions eventually get ported to the Virtual Console as well.

The way stats were calculated was totally different in gen 1, and certain tms existed in gen 1 and never again, so there would be moves that you couldn't get in later games for certain pokemon

I WILL buy these! Ever though I still own my originals from back in the day, it'll be awesome to have these new ones.

And besides, my Red's data is so jacked up I couldn't play it if I wanted to. It keeps erasing itself. My Blue might still be OK; I'll have to take a look at it. There's a chance my Yellow is just fine.
