More details on the new Pokemon 3DS Virtual Console games

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 16 Comments

The new Pokemon 3DS Virtual Console games don’t support Restore Points. However, Red, Blue, and Yellow will all allow for wireless trading and battling. GamesBeat shares more about how this works.

You can begin trading by talking to the Cable Club counter. After that, a menu shows up on the lower screen that lets you set up a room or join somebody else’s request. Like the original versions, you sit down at the terminals across from the opposing player. Wireless battles work in a similar fashion.

This shouldn’t be a major shock, but it’s not possible to trade Pokemon you’ve caught in the Virtual Console games to the newer entries. Trading is only allowed between Red, Blue, and Yellow.

We also have a couple of other random tidbits. The Game Boy Printer menus are still in, and Surfing Pikachu remains in the games as well. However, Nintendo isn’t sure how or if it would be distributed.
