Cutting out MissingNo is like removing the Minus World glitch from Mario 1.

Found a more relevant analogy.

Well, I remember that me and my friends used to cheat the system too.
Right after transfering a Pokemon via link cable one turned off the system (or even during? it was really long ago...I can't remember that clearly...). So the guy sending the Pokemon still had it and the other one received it.
Never tried to complete the Pokedex so I didn't do this often, but pretty sure it worked somehow like that.

@shaneoh: You...you played the game through and obtained Missingno over two hundred times?

If you add me, I need to at least know you or I won't add you back.

I used that cheat too, I had a Mew so I copied the Mew and then use it to trade with people for the starters. Really I found the starters were the rarest Pokes in the orginal games.

@TeeJay:
Fought, not caught. I don't know why I did it, but in my last Red save, which is unfortunately gone due to a dead battery, I had one of each pokemon, (minus Mew, so 150 INDIVIDUAL pokemon,) at max level using the item duplication glitch on rare candies. That is ONE save and isn't counting the 'mon I leveled up to 100 to trade. I played through Red and Blue, and used the glitch, multiple times. Using the glitch to max out Rare Candies, Max Revives, Master Balls, Full Heals, TMs, vitamins, anything which I found useful. Let me tell you, pressing B to cancel evolution on a Caterpie 93 times is quite a pain. What I would have given for an Everstone.

While this is awesome, and I will probably get Blue (Brother getting Yellow, My Wife is getting Red) I am disappointed that there isn't a Pokemon Bank function. Even if the Pokemon had to completely change for the new style, it would have helped getting some pretty rare Gen 1 pokemon.

If we had Pokemon Bank functions, then we'd be getting a ton of glitch Mews, among others.

For collectors, like me, it would be great. lol

How do we know it's that special? It's probably the same emulator with linking functionality added.

And save states are standard issue for VC. To remove a feature just because someone might use it to their advantage... might as well remove it from every VC title then.

We know that it's special because it's the only GB/GBC game on the VC that has multiplayer, and it's the only VC title to release in the space of 1.5 years. Adding in trading only to have restore points doesn't make much sense.

Yellow is the best, hands down. Most / all 3rd games are.

Yellow lets you aquire all three Kanto starters without trading. And while trading is possible in these versions, complications arise when you factor in Nintendo's account system. I have a 2nd 3DS, yes... but I don't think I can just bring in my NNID or eShop account, because they are tied to one system.

@Hendesu: As the others already mentioned, Yellow is best for a lot of reasons - the story is longer and more involved, the Pokemon selection is better, and otherwise just has a little more charm.

R/B are options basically if you want to experience/relive the originals. I'm getting Blue because it's my first video game ever, but I'll likely end up playing through Yellow more.

Thank you. I wanted to by just one, but...

Still not seeing why that means it's a new special emulator... you can add / remove functions to / from pre-existing stuff, you know?

And you're forgetting the Donkey Kong Land games, but yes, it has been a while. But I'm not convinced that the wait is purely because of the linking feature. Does anyone really know why they do things in the order they do? Not really.

And make sense or no, I'd still like the ability to make save states. It won't make it or break it for me, but I don't see any major reason to remove it.

I thought it was because of the 20th anniversary next year.

I hope they don't fix the Mew glitch, because that's the only way you're getting one in any of the games.

Though I wonder if Yellow will use the GB or GBC mode (stupid doesn't let us choose). (as Yellow, at least the western versions, was programmed to use the SGB palettes on GBC)

The only difference between Red and Blue is the exclusive Pokemon.
I think they were
Mankey, Ekans, Oddish, Growlithe, Electabuzz and Scyther and evolutions for Red, and Meowth, Sandshrew, Bellsprout, Vulpix, Magmar and Pinsir for Blue
For me Cash Cat is most important, since it's your ONLY source of endless money farming in gen 1. (well, okay you can use a TM to teach it to something else but I prefer natural movesets) (if it is very slow grinding, only $2 per Level per hit by the attacker, booted to $5 in gen 3, I believe)

Although I like the Japanese Blue version better.
Because it has my preferred exclusives in one
Oddish, Meowth, Sandshrew
Also, the only gen 1 wild Jynx, I think. And you can also get two of the trade-only Pokemon from in-game trades: Gengar (unlike that **** NPC Mindy in Platinum who gave her Haunter an Everstone and then laughs in your face) and Golem.
The later is actually the cause of the "My Raichu went and evolved." error in the international Red and Blue (perhaps played a part in the rumors back in the day of Marill/"Pikablue" being a secret gen 1 Pokemon). They switched the trade but didn't change the text in the localization (the Poliwag (or was it Poliwhirl?) for Jynx change is technically the same error as the trades in JP Blue were meant to teach you the trade evolutions, though less so because Poliwag has a different form of evolution)

I always hated that he named his Electrode, Doris. Then it just has that face in Red & Blue.

Yellow is confirmed to be in color, since we saw the title screen in the trailer.

It's red and blue the ones I sincerely hope will include at least the GBC all-red and all-blue palletes, since that's how I played them.

@KingMike: I guess you don't count Elite Four as money farming? That was my preferred way when I was trying to get all the TMs and Porygon. I was doing a 100% run and I wanted to get every TM as well (only to notice that I can't even fit all of them to my bag and PC so I had to teach/get rid of some of them anyway). The irritating thing is that some TMs + Porygon are only available through Game Corner and if I have to choose between playing in Game Corner and defeating Pokémon League over and over again, I choose the latter. It was such a pain to beat Elite Four around 20 times and then go to Game Corner and convert my money to game coins by talking to the same person over and over. The person only accepts 1000 PokéDollars at a time which equals 50 coins, Porygon is worth 6500 coins in Blue. That means I need 130.000 PokéDollars and talk to the same person 130 times so I can have my Porygon. Gen 1 doesn't give you enough money even if you sell all your items and battle every trainer (did both) if you're going for every TM + every Pokémon. Fortunately, I don't have to do it ever again. This turned out to be a rant about one aspect of Gen 1 games which I haven't seen pop up very often.

It's its, not it's.

@Morpheel: Yellow is only in color in the west actually. Japan gets no color for Yellow.

Good for us then.

Why would it be b&w in Japan though? It wasn't a GBC game over there?

It wasn't officially a GBC game in the west either (it used the original (monochrome) "GAME BOY" logo on the box, even though the westen version was released about a year after the GBC itself.
(Japanese Yellow and US Red+Blue were released in September 1998, the GBC hardware was released in both regions October-November 1998, US Yellow late 1999)
So the coloring was probably added sometime during that (as mentioned, it was pretty much the same as the Super Game Boy colors and not full color, so I don't imagine it took TOO much work for them to add) (SGB color most of the time would just tint the screen one color, ie green in a forest area or brown in a cave. Though it had one notable gameplay benefit: color-coded HP meters.)

By GBC I meant those GB games that were optimized for the GBC. You know, the ones with the black cartridge. Most of them also had just Game Boy in the box.

I guess if the games didn't have the color coding here, Pokemon Yellow would've been black. Even though it was simple compared to other GB/C games, it would be impossible for a common GB game to have that variety of colors on the GBC.

It's also impossible to change the palette on the start up screen, unlike with normal GB games.

The fact that that was added to our version is pretty interesting.

Could the 9.99 be a place holder and it could be lower on the shop like 5.99 or 6.99.

I bet it is possible but I don't think they need to lower the price. People want these games badly and will pay to play them.
