Its kinda related to the Virtual console forum, but its pretty dead so I decided to post here. hope its fine XD
I am personally really happy about that, even more than the announcment of pokemon ultra sun and moon. I grew on pokemon silver (it was my very first video game) and my soulsilver cartidge stopped working a while ago. I cant wait to play the original games without having to fear they will be damaged or something XD
I mean, I would be more excited if it wasn't because:
1)my copy of silver still works fine.
2)crystal is not included.
3)they doubled the price of the gen 1 games recently here, so that means these will be expensive for me.

These statements pretty well summarize my situation. XD I also had Gold at one point, but gave it to my brother. I'd probably consider Crystal if that were included since the save on my cartridge conked out long ago.
I encourage anyone who hasn't played them to pick up at least one of the two! I consider these to be the best of the classic Pokemon games.
Currently playing: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (Switch)
@Tsurii No Phanpy, no buy. No seriously, it always frustrated me how half of the Johto Pokemon weren't available until you beat the League, or were just very late encounters.
@Tsurii Indeed, add the fact that stones were quite elusive, and trade evolutions were always a pain in the arse, and it took me a good while to release what the new Pokemon actually were. I never completed the Pokedex in GSC. Otherwise good games, but the Pokemon distribution was rubbish.
@Tsurii The list is even longer, Remoraid and Qwilfish too, I believe they required you to get a phone number and get a call on a lucky day from a fisherman. Slugma was a Kanto encounter too. I'm glad the newer games aren't as tedious when it comes to this, but I do miss the lack of freedom and difficulty of the older games.
At least Wobbuffet was a more common than Dunsparce.
And I just discovered Teddiursa can be found in the Dark Cave in Crystal too. So you can get Teddiursa and Phanpy before the first gym! I want to replay that game now.
@Tsurii Magmemite is on the Miltank route and there are Electrode in the Team Rocket base. You can also evolve an Eevee in a Jolteon if you manage to find a Thunder Stone. I've done plenty of mono-type runs in the older games, I know where to find them
