The original Generation I core series Pokémon games, {{bp|Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, and {{bp|Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow}} ({{bp|Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green}}, {{bp|Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue}}, and {{bp|Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow}} in Japan), will be released on Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in North America, Japan, Europe, and Australia on February 27, 2016. The games will be released on the 20th anniversary of the Japanese release of Pokémon Red and Green. | |||
The games will use Nintendo 3DS wireless communication to communicate with each other, unlike most Virtual Console titles. At present, it has only been confirmed that trading will be supported; nothing has been mentioned regarding multi-player battling. | |||
From screenshots, Pokémon Yellow will be released in European languages as a Game Boy Color Virtual Console title, while all other games and the Japanese release of Pokémon Yellow will be Game Boy Virtual Console titles. In European languages, Pokémon Yellow was originally released as a Game Boy Color game that could also be played on Game Boy with some features disabled (although it was marketed as a Game Boy game that was enhanced on the Game Boy Color). In Japanese, Pokémon Yellow was released exclusively as a Game Boy title and did not have any additional features on Game Boy Color. | |||
In Japan, the games will be available at retailers as both download code cards and download code special editions. The download code special editions will include a download code for the game, a special edition box, stickers, a cartridge-shaped magnet, and a map of the Kanto region in the games. Each download code card will retail for ¥1,111 (before tax), and each download code special edition will retail for ¥1,389 (before tax). No details about a retail release outside of Japan have been announced. | In Japan, the games will be available at retailers as both download code cards and download code special editions.
