Hero-of-Time Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I'm surprised we don't have a topic for this already, at least I couldn't find one. If there is a one kicking about then a mod/admin can just throw my post into that thread. The reason I was looking for one was because of a topic that popped up on Gaf the other day. GlitterBerri has posted information about the 1997 SpaceWorld demo. It's a very interesting read and well worth a look if you want some insight into the early build of the game.

Them Genwunners, anything Red/Blue, they go mental, but anything else and... I personally am not interested because Crystal isn't there. Why bother when you don't get the best version?

Glen-i Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Shiny boxes containing download codes will be released. For you physical nutjobs out there. Still no Crystal, so a big nope from me. Edited August 18, 2017 by Glen-i 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcubed Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I like how it's a GB/GBC style cardboard box. And shiny too, just like the originals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Crystal on the way at some point? Quote Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver are the newest releases on the 3DS Virtual Console. However, the third game in the series has been left out. Currently no announcements have been made about bringing Pokemon Crystal to the Virtual Console. Interestingly though, one dataminer says he’s found code that could point to Crystal launching eventually. Apparently, data was found within a patch in the ROM fileworks for Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver on 3DS. This is the same person who initially leaked the existence of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions, which was eventually announced at E3 earlier in the year.

Glen-i Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Look how shocked I am! Seriously, if you willingly buy this, you have no right to complain when Crystal inevitably releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markderoos Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) I bought both and I will buy Crystal too, if it get's a boxed release that is Edited September 22, 2017 by markderoos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindFreak Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The boxed editions are even cardboard?! Not plastic cases or anything but cardboard with just a slip with a code inside it... this is nuts. Sorry guys but this is really blowing my mind that anyone would want this (though the boxes look nice at least). S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that the boxed version is only an extra quid over the eShop version, I think it's a bargain just to have something as nice as these on the gaming shelf. I just picked them both up at Argos on my lunch break. I was hoping a local retailer would have them in stock as I didn't trust the postie to deliver them without crushing the boxes, which is what has happened to people on other forums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killthenet Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 It would have been cool if they'd included a dummy Game Boy cartridge in there too, would definitely have picked up the boxed version if that was the case. I'm definitely going to buy Silver as it's one of my favourite games but want to finish Metroid first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the method in that video isn't "trade hatched starters with your god damn friends like you're supposed to", they missed a golden opportunity to be funny. Yeah, I know it's talking about a glitch, but still. At least with this, people can correct their horrible, horrible mistake and go with Totodile instead. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcubed Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Oh wow! Mystery Gift actually still works! They emulated it using the 3DS' IR port! Awesome!

You have a copy and a GBC though? Why haven't we tried this yet? EDIT: Oh, bugger. I forgot that Mystery Gift isn't available from the start. Never mind.

I haven't tried it because I'm out at work you dummy! I'm gonna try it when I get home! (Unless you and @Ugh first aid beat me to it...)
