With the Missingno glitch still in does that mean I can get level 100 Pokemon easily and transfer them to X?

Same, not sure why they decided to not do this, but I guess it can't be helped.
Kinda hyped to play this again, jank and all. Think I'll be going with Blue just for nostalgia reasons even though I never went with Red.
It really is.

I might have to get yellow instead of My first PKMN game Blue just because I want some darn color -_-
a few questions-
-Can you battle online
-Can you put Pikachu in PC (I cant remember)
-and does the 3ds shop use funny money like Nintendo points or something? Iv never purchased anything off of the 3ds store.

No online battles, you have to be in close proximity to someone
You can put Pikachu in the PC, but wait until you get Bulbasaur if you want him
You can buy Nintendo funny money to put in the eShop or you can just use a credit card.
To clarify, only the Wii had weird ass moonbux.
3DS and Wii U both use actual money you can load onto your account.

Wait... can you not transfer the Pokemon from this into Bank and then into XY/OrAs? That's pretty scummy if true. Getting pretty tired of Gamefreak walling off shit like this when there's no reason to - if they can go to Pokemon Bank there's no reason why they shouldn't be able to go to XYOrAs from there.
I think I'll be getting Blue myself, since I lost it as a child. Although the temptation to go with Yellow (as it was my first ever portable video game) is VERY high
Wasn't Sony the first to use real currency out of the big three?
Straight ports but with wireless link battles and Pokemon Bank support.
Come on, transferring a Gen 1 Pokemon to Gen 7 is a feat in itself. They would have to add fundamental patches to both XY and ORAS in order to make that work. I'd rather those resources go into making a new game great than an old game slightly less mediocre.

Yes, it is a feat. But the feat would be on Bank's end, no? In order to transfer Pokemon onto Bank from these, you would have to convert them there, unless they're adding some kind of special Gen I Bank specifically for these which SM can pull from. Which would be a tad silly, and even if that is the case there's really no excuse why they couldn't put the functionality to convert onto Bank in the first place instead of holding it out for SM. It just comes across as money-grubbing. "Buy these new games if you want a feature that we are advertising for a game you already bought!"
Not to mention these roms are ten bucks a pop. Anything they wanted to include here rather than on SM would make them more worth the rather exorbitant price point.
Gen 1 Pokemon have different stats and moves that no longer exist anymore in Gen 6.

The official wording is that Pokemon from these games can't be "directly" moved to XY/ORAS. Since Sun and Moon seem to be a new generation, it would make sense that they'd write their upgrade path to convert to the newest games' format, but the odd inclusion of "directly" suggests that there may be a Time Capsule type feature which lets you move Pokemon back to older games.

Fucking eShop has the Pokemon intro music in the backgound, but it still says "Coming Soon" in the games

I'm tired after a 10 hour work day, but will not go to bed without starting. Come on, Nintendo !

Do we actually know the launch time? I'd assume midnight.
Got a long day tomorrow so I'm trying to play as much as I can tonight.
If it isn't up at exactly midnight EST, social media will turn into a dumpster fire.
That will be inevitable when the servers are stressed.

So like 50 minutes? I always get confused with PST/EST time zones (not from the US)

Yeah, about 45 mins from now would be midnight EST.
Yellow since you can get all three starters. Just don't put that Pikachu in the box.

I microwave steaks.
because it wasn't backlit
I'm crossing my fingers for a midnight release. Yesterday on Amazon I saw it temporarily say the release time was today at 4 so I had gotten pretty excited.
Gotta say I'm super bummed Red and Blue don't get color. I've had plans to get Yellow since they announced this (it was my first Pokemon game, never had Red or Blue) but I feel totally guilty considering more people will probably have Yellow because of the color thing, which means the Blue and Red exclusives will be much harder to come by. I don't really get why they kept them in black and white. Why hasn't a color option been integrated into GB VC games yet?

THIS. Blue was my first game when I was young, but I'll be picking up yellow as I can grab all of the starters. I caught them all when I was young
and remember being so disappointed that they told you to buy a gameboy printer to print a certificate as a reward.
It's in 39 minutes from what I was told.

No, all moves from the first gen are still around
But many Pokemon learn moves in Gen 1 that they've never been able to learn again.

They're $10 because they're not just Gameboy game ports. They've got the wireless stuff and the Pokebank support.

I live in Brazil and dollar here is quite expensive nowadays, that's why I haven't decided yet. 10 dollars end up not being cheap anymore for me!
Still, that nostalgia!! Pokemon RBY is awesome!
I think I'll focus on finishing OR for now, and in the future I think about getting it (maybe I get some discount at it later).

While you could argue that the cost is subsidizing Pokemon Bank development, Pokemon Bank really isn't something that has to be explicitly supported. It is a standalone app which edits save files.

The R/B/Y savefiles are not in anywhere near the same format as the newer games though. Being able to properly extract pokemon from those without destroying the save file took a lot of work to make happen, I imagine, let alone the process of converting pokemon from R/B/Y's antiquated stat system to the new one.
And then there's the wireless trading and battling.
These are probably the most complex Virtual Console ports ever released.
