I could maybe see myself actually getting into Silver again; think I had 80 hours in my original, lost somewhere, cart. Crystal would get a purchase from me for sure though since I never played that iteration and folk talk it up a bunch. Tried playing the VC release of Red that came with my 3DS but it being the exact same game as what I played in the original three titles had me falling off a couple hours in. Some "new" content would go a long way to getting me interested.

More hyped for this than Ultra Sun and Moon to be honest.

- Where's Crystal, I mean wtf
- Why doesn't it release like this month? That makes no sense
- Will they fix the shiny formula in Pokémon Bank, they better fix it or there'll be a lot of problems

Switch doesn't have a Virtual Console tho.

Almost ironic that the first three letters in Crystal are cry.

there is already hacked injected version of gold and silver that works online.

My thoughts!!! But there's a lot of time between now and September so maybe they will announce it between now and then. Let's believe!

God damn, Nintendo must have a terrible DSL connection if it's going to take them 3+ months to upload a < 1mb rom.

How does one get an install base?

Also didn't MK8 sell very well?
Millions of switches that still need to be made lol

So for those wondering why there's no Crystal, I have a pretty good idea why. In Japan, Crystal has a building called the PCC (Pokemon Communications Center) that used the Mobile Adapter GB to connect to dialup servers and essentially worked like the WiFi features in Gen 4. Now, with how they mentioned they didn't want to do Gen 1 without being able to trade, they probably also didn't want to do Crystal without its biggest feature possible.
Now for other problems:
- They can't cut the PCC in the Japanese games because it's where you receive the Odd Egg and Eon Mail.
- While most of the mobile features were translated into English, they definitely weren't for the other international languages.
Either way, it would be too much work for a VC title.

No Crystal and still no VC support on Switch.
Nintendo and TPC really are those quirky devs from Japan that are out of touch with reality aren't they.

What you are recommending is stupid. Next game is Switch, since they just hired people with experience working on HD 3D rpgs.

Post from their official site. Confirms they'll get the same wireless functions R/B/Y did (a given) in addition to confirming Time Capsule.
This. Not gonna buy G/S.
