I won't mind playing Pokemon Crystal again on the 3DS, it's not a necessity, but I think it will be a great addition to the eShop, it will sell really well, and I think it's a FANTASTIC way into teaching the younger generation, about how Pokemon begun, I think it'll be a great experience to be honest.

In Generation I, there were only four IVs stored for each individual Pokémon: Attack, Defense, Speed, and Special. Each of these covered the respective stat, with the HP IV determined from the IVs stored for the other four. IVs had a range from 0-15
So you could multiply the IVs by 2 but it might not be perfectly accurate since the highest IV in Gen 3 and beyond is 31.

And finding every Pokemon the easy way (even Mew) would be ruining the fun

And when I meant facing Oak, he's just a trainer that can be faced like how you find Mew.

And Save Data?
The rest of the trick hinges on a twelve-byte section of memory, starting at memory location CD22 in Yellow (CD23 in Red/Blue), which contains the stats of the last Pokémon you fought. After you battle the Youngster, it will have these hexadecimal values:...
It sounds like it doesn't save the Pokemon defeated but its stats. I say it needs to save the type and quantity of Pokemon faced because Sp. Defence didn't come out yet and the type of Pokemon is important to that in order for EVs to work.

In total, between PokéMon Red, Blue and Yellow, there are 36 total glitch PokéMon. Some have some pretty devastating effects to player save data, while others may just freeze the game. Most of the glitch PokéMon were meant as placeholders or padding between PokéMon for when the game was in development. Now they're nothing but bad pointers.

And these would need to be removed because you can't save when your game freezes.
Encountering a MissingNo. Pokémon is the result of three computing events. The first is the game's random battle encounter system: each area assigns values to Pokémon in a data buffer, which the game accesses for the player's encounters with wild Pokémon. However, no values are assigned to this buffer on the right side of the Cinnabar and Seafoam Island locations—the information from the previously visited area is used instead.The second factor is the old man's demonstration, which temporarily stores the player's name in the data buffer. This causes the game to access the hexadecimal values of the player's name for Pokémon encounters at Cinnabar and Seafoam Island. The third factor is the game's error handling system; if the game selects a value from the data buffer that is not an existing Pokémon, a subroutine is triggered that causes the appearance of a Pokémon named MissingNo., short for "Missing Number".
There might not have been enough data to put values in in all the areas. Either that or they were unnoticed. These alterations would be minor to the player and some people may be attached to these glitches but when it comes to ruining the game it's the players choice. More people would just point them out if they were in there but I like it as it is on the older games where mistakes can be forgotten.

I think no matter how hard it is to port, despite the issues. If Nintendo really wanted to, they would have made it happen, it's not "impossible", I know for a fact they won't want to exploit it on Virtual Console, but it can have a positive outcome overall.

The originals? or a new (6th gen) remake of the old games? If it's a remake then I'd definitely play it but if these are the originals then I won't be buying them because cough * emulators * cough

@dilawer, now that you say it, finally, as a remake, that wouldn't be bad either. If the quality is equal to Pokémon X/Y, why not. I'm sure that would be fun to explore Kanto in 3D.

Come on. They already had their remakes. It's Gen 3's turn.

and not just exploring Kanto but Johto as well. Specially Johto, and Kanto can be post-game just like in the HeartGold/SoulSilver games for the NDS. It would be amazing.

Yes, I would. Everyday I see my broken Crystal cartridge, I remember the good times I had playing that game. It would be fun to be able to relive that experience, without the use of emulators.

I would love their remakes. Even though I want Pokemon Emerald/Sapphire/Ruby remakes more, I would not mind having Silver/Gold/Crystal remakes.

I know how that feels... I feel the same, but for my lost Silver cartridge, as well as my LeafGreen one. Damn the fact that my house is so huge... Oh, by the way, unless if Nintendo decided to make a remake, it will have to use an emulator. Actually, all VC games (WiiU/3DS) use an emulator. But it's so optimized that it looks native to the machine.

By the way, forgot to say it, but it can be any Pokémon game of the GBC. If I can, I'll edit the title of the thread.

I'd vote no. Since I already own HeartGold and SoulSilver, there's no real point to them being added to the eShop for me.

Now if they'd put Pokémon Pinball and/or the TCG on there, you'd have yourself a buyer.

I would prefer if they remake Generation 3, it would be a fantastic idea if they decide on doing Generation 2 remakes, but I don't think it will ever be possible, since they already made HeartGold and Soulsilver for the Nintendo DS.

To be honest, I'm not sure if it's only me, but I rather play the original over the remake, since the 3DS has such a wide fanbase that comprises of young players, I think that if they upload the original unto the eShop it would be better, as I said before, it's a great way to show the younger generation how Pokemon started, without those emulators.

The remakes, Fire Red/ Leaf Greed, and HG/SS would make sense to be on eshop , we can actually have hope because its possible they release the 3 gen remakes and its going to be on eshop :

Yes, I would love to relive Crystal/silver/gold once more. It would be nice to play them again. I think many people would download them for good times sake. <3

Where do you think xmen got his avatar? Yeah, I found it somewhere (and everyone predicted that remake like they knew it was going to happen.) Why is that not surprising? I don't think we'll see any Pokemon VC anytime soon (are emulators to blame?) unless they are spin-offs like say Pokemon Ranger for the Wii U.

I don't think they'll ever upload a Pokemon game to the eShop, only the current gen games are being uploading unto the shop.. :thumbsdown:

I would love for any Pokemon game to come out on the virtual console, although I don't think any game except FireRed/LeafGreen has a chance since all of the other games are either a) made for or remade for the DS, b) are coming out as remakes for the 3DS (just OR/AS). I think Game Freak likes to remake one game for every handheld generation, so releasing them on the VC would reduce the amount of sales their remakes get.

Not necessarily, if it's for the nostalgia or the collection, it won't have any impact on the sales, since they'll lack some things anyway (Pokémons that appear in following games, trading/battling*, Stadium connectivity, GameBoy Printer).

And even if that was to decrease the sales, I think the maximum amount the sales would drop would be 5% (but I'm not a specialist about marketing, so it's really guessing.), so, it would still mean double profit for Nintendo and Game Freak (if the VC ones and the physical Pokémon games sell well).

*It could be implemented by using the 3DS's Wi-Fi feature. If there's emulators on Smartphones who do it, why wouldn't the 3DS be able to do it too ?

I guess they could always release these old games, but I have a feeling they'd wait to remake each one completely first. As for Wi-Fi, I'm pretty sure it could happen, but this just adds extra efforts that Game Freak doesn't want to put in. Instead of some basic online system with an old games, I think they'd rather just redo everything and release it for full retail price.
