Let's be honest, they cost $10 because people would pay for them.
Hell, they could make a limited Psychical Edition and charge $40 for it and it would sold-out on Amazon in minutes.

I'd buy it 100%
Too bad that it's just a download code in a box. Still really cool but a cartridge would've been amazing.
It comes with a Gameboy

Joke's on you, I already preordered from Amazon Japan all 3 of the 2DS (Blue doesn't exist and you can't tell me otherwise), and all 4 games and they are on their way to my Tenso address as we are speaking. HAHAHAHAHA!
HA.
ha...
I'm in a similar boat. They own us man.
GAH STILL COMING SOON NOOOO

Bank is a yearly fee though. As of now only works with unreleased games. They do include nice touch ups but $10 is high. They can do it because it's hype and Pokemon really.

Here we go!
Wireless stuff indeed, however I wouldn't be surprised if the transferring would be reading the pokemon on the VC title, and then generating a Pokemon with the same species / nickname / movepool / level and then just randomly generating the rest.

I am literally almost crying tears of joy. These games were my childhood. My first RPG. It got me into portable gaming really even though I had a GameBoy before Pokemon.
I never thought I'd get to play these games again. I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed.

Another thing, see if you can beat the Rival on Route 22 without buying Poke Balls or catching any other Pokemon, then go back to Oak. You get rewarded and save some money in the process.

I really wonder how they're going to make the Pokemon Bank support work. The whole reason Gen 1 and 2 Pokemon were incompatible with the later games in the first place is because of the huge changes to the IV and EV system made with Gen 3. If I remember correctly, back in the old days Pokemon only had four IVs (or DVs, as we called'em: Attack, Defence, Speed and Special, which ranged from 0-16 rather than 0-31), and their EVs (which we called EPs) didn't top out at 510. You used to be able to max every stat.
Long story short, Pokemon from Gen 1 and 2 were significantly beefier than Pokes from Gen 3 onwards. You didn't have Natures to get the extra 10%, but in return you had sweepers with maxed speed, attack and defences, and battles were grudge matches where you needed Toxic on everyone just to try and whittle away at massive defensive walls. It'll be easy enough to split the Special stat into SpA and SpD (they already did it automatically in G/S/C), but I wonder how they'll deal with the EVs. The easiest thing would be to reset everything to 0 upon transfer, but then you'd have people wondering why their beastly Mewtwos turned into busters all of a sudden.

Exactly.

You can still check the DV though, IIRC.

Nothing like getting all three starters in yellow, now if I can just remember where
Amazon is still showing 12 pacific for me.

Go into the options and set the sound to one of the earphone modes. Makes it play through the 3DS speakers in stereo. That might help a bit.
I gave this a try... I like Mono better, but that might be because nostalgia, since EP3 is objectively the best one.

What are DV's and how do I check em?

FUCK. This topic just made me buy yellow version. No regrets. That was the first Pokemon game I owned as a kid and I have so many memories of it.
Mono gives you stereo on 3DS. Why? Because...
I'm stopping in Viridian City. I have 5 Pokemon and played for a half hour. Good enough for now.

Hey! Some games do age but are still great. It's like saying to your wife of 20 years "Gee you are aged terrible. I wish your body was still in 4k and not SD 240p"

Thankilidankily.
Question about the transparent 2DSs. I live in the United States, if I imported the red one from the UK or something would my American games work on that thing? I'm assuming no. I'm also assuming the special 2DS colors are only available in Japan and the UK.
