One thing I have realized is this: always constantly holding B (even though I know that running shoes didn't even exist until Ruby/Sapphire). Gonna be a big one to get rid of!

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

Didn't even make the connection....Thanks! (Insert palm to the face emoticon here...)

They made quite a few subtle changes to Yellow to reference the anime.

And these two

are

Charmander is the GOAT. He should be a starting option in every Pokemon game.

 

[SeZMehK]

I still believe they should have made physical versions of these games and the cartridges would match the color of the game just like the original games. They would be printing even more money... >.>

 

[renegade_dewitt]

Trying out Pokemon Bank and Pokemon Yellow and seeing if it works between these two games (Yellow to XY via Pokemon Bank).

Edit: Annnd.........it doesn't...I should've known. Probably a software update will fix this issue in the future.

 

[Bishop89]

They weren't really colored. Just had a red or blue filter thrown on stuff

They weren't actual color versions of the game. That was always just the GBC slapping colors on the games that were never specifically designed for those games.

Thats lame that I cant even get a filtered versioin of them!

 

[Acrylic7]

No online battles is really making me hesitant.

 

[March of the Crabs]

Holy shit nostalgia overload. Loving every second of this so fat. Really makes me miss being a kid. Stupid adulthood.

 

[MisterHero]

Digital Only is a downgrade from the original!

If you own all 3 VC games, you can't even put one of them on another 3DS to trade with yourself!

I'm getting the Red/Blue 3DS, then getting Yellow on my current 3DS, and see if I can complete my Pokedexes before I merge the games to my NNID.

Will it work? Dunno, but if it doesn't, I'll pray for Pokémon Stadium 1&2 VC Edition.

Spoiler

Or just go back to the real cartridges.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

I have just been reminded of one mechanic I don't miss at all in the new games...

Spoiler

Your Pokemon suffering freakin' continuous poison damage after battle!

 

[Velcro Fly]

Your Pokemon suffering freakin' continuous poison damage after battle!

and actually fainting out of battle because of it!

 

[March of the Crabs]

Takes me back to some dark timed as a kid trying to escape a cave while my party is poisoned and fainting 1 by 1 with no exit or antidote in sight. Just Zubats.

I wish they would have kept that in the later games. These games already have the difficulty of a crossword puzzle, They didn't need to take out poison steps.

I remember getting KO's by poison 1 step away from Nurse Joy. Had to do the Rock tunnel with no flash all over gain. Great times.

 

[Askherserenity]

Was hesitant at first but I am glad I bought Yellow.

Game just feels so fucking pure.

The music is still godlike.

 

[wiibomb]

you are asking too much out of this

 

[Velcro Fly]

Got to Mt. Moon

Wartortle - 16
Rattata - 14
Pidgey - 14

Are there any good Flash slaves other than Pikachu? I don't want to go all the way back and catch one

 

[SalvaPot]

You are right, don't buy it. Its not worth it.

*Goes back to training Mankey to fight Brock*

 

[Kevinroc]

Just ran into that Youngster who loves shorts.

The birth of a meme.

They took out poison steps in the newer games? I could've sworn it was still in, but they increased the steps needed for the poison to tick.

 

[Dark Orchid]

Gen 4 made it so it would leave Pokemon at 1 HP, but Gen 5 on just removed outside damage for poison in general.

 

[IfAllElseFales]

Beat Brock to end the night. Got a Bulbasaur and a Beedrill so far.

 

[Snarfington]

I only had a few minutes to play just now, but I sure got teary-eyed arriving in Pallet Town again. So glad they put this out, should be a good nostalgic ride.

 

[WadeitOut]

Gen 4 made it so it would leave Pokemon at 1 HP, but Gen 5 on just removed outside damage for poison in general.

Because having persistent poison damage when the game literally forces you into NPC battles is just dumb.

 

[Kyzon]

You can get all the starters in Yellow.

You can get all three starters relatively early in the game.


I know in Europe, the eShop releases are rated 12. No Pokémon game is ever rated 12.

You start with Pikachu in Yellow, but get all three starters down the road.

Thanks.
I can't wait to get rid of that fat rat :3

 

[Acrylic7]

you are asking too much out of this

How so? Its extremely basic.
Not to mention my friends are very far away. I literally have no one to play with. If I just wanted to play with no trading or battles I can just bust out my original game I keep on my bookshelf.
In fact that's what I'm going to do lol. Don't know why I was so eager to spend cash lol

 

[EloquentM]

Someone explain mew glitch to me I cannot remember it for the life of me. Also explain why yellow is better when there's no missingno clone item glitch.

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

This makes me wish we had gotten a remake of Pokemon Yellow also at some point. That first season of the anime, and Pokemon Red/Blue were so iconic to me at that time. I would love to have seen a version of Pokemon with a more fleshed out tie in with the anime, like Yellow was, but done more recently with better visuals.

You need an Abra to teleport. Also you don't have to fight the Youngster with the Slowpoke, you can alternatively use the first swimmer in Cerulean Gym who has a Horsea.

 

[WadeitOut]

I still remember contemplating asking for the Pikachu yellow GBC for my birthday but then deciding I would ball out with a teal one instead and got Pkmn Yellow separate.

 

[Zalman]

Just started playing this on my special edition Yellow 2DS. Loooving it. Currently on Route 4, I always catch Nidoran (male) and Mankey here. They're very useful early in the game.

Got to Viridian Forrest, it doesn't look good at the moment:

1. Sparkplug (Pikachu) Lvl 7
2. Victor (Pidgey) Lvl 7
3. Poisonpt (Nidoran male) Lvl 5
4. Rattata Lvl 2; don't even know why I even caught it!

Fight wild Metapod/Kakuna, they can't attack and only boost their own defense while giving around 50-60 exp. each.

 

[SoundPulse]

Finally got the code for Blue from Amazon.

 

[JoeM86]

I'm playing through the games in order (starting with Green), so I have a favour to ask. Could someone with Yellow send me a picture of Jynx's Pokédex page from Miiverse with the GBC Border?

 

[Koyuga]

Fight wild Metapod/Kakuna, they can't attack and only boost their own defense while giving around 50-60 exp. each.

The PP drain from that makes it such an annoying grind though. I prefer to just switch out to a more powerful pokemon.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

All the Pokemon I want are post Mt. Moon but I need to beat Brock (Yellow)

NidoranM and Double Kick it is until I get charmander

 

[jack_package_200]

I am trying to think of a nicknaming gimmick for my pokemon.

I have it narrowed down to:

Major Cities in the US
Antagonists in Film. Games, books, and anime

Which should I do?

 

[Pokemaniac]

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.

Like I said before, the VC release doesn't even need to know that Pokemon Bank exists. All of the actual code for that feature is going to live in the Pokemon Bank App (Or PokeTransporter).

Also, you're probably vastly overestimating the code that goes into this. The main challenge for something like this is more the design of the conversion process, since the Gen I+II and the post-Gen III data structures were never meant to be compatible.

How so? Its extremely basic.

The wireless multiplayer appears to work by emulating the Link Cable protocol over an ad-hoc Wi-fi connection. This is non-trivial, as the Link Cable protocol is timing sensitive. Attempting to do this over the internet is probably just not happening, since there would just be too much lag, and the connection would be too unpredictable.

Help me solve a dillema gaf

My boyfriend never played RBY (his first game was XY) but he loves Pokemon and especially Pikachu and he's always looked for a boxed version of Pokemon Yellow to play (which he never found)

I bought him the Yellow 2DS bundle for his birthday in three weeks as a surprise, but to my surprise he said yesterday that he's planning to download the Yellow VC game today. I really didn't expect this because he said before he wanted to finish Ruby first before playing Yellow.

Should I give him his present early? On top of this we're visiting family this weekend so we'll be stuck in a train for at least 6 hours. He wants to play Yellow during the trip.
I don't what's worse, spoiling the surprise three weeks ahead of time or letting him buy a €10 game that he'll get as a gift later on. What would you prefer in this situation?
