>Red, Blue, Yellow all allowed because male protagonist only, male protagonist who is still relevant to this day

>Crystal NOT allowed because its girl protagonist was retconned and they don't want to promote irrelevant characters even if it's via the pettiest most contrived way possible (ie: simple VC release)
Can't make this shit up!
>>32709928
All male protagonists are canon
Except for, maybe, Dawn. But I really doubt that
>>32709928
Are you from Tumblr?
or because Crystal actually changed anything significant whereas Yellow was the fourth game that basically changed some grunts for Jessie and James among other minor things
>>32709928
>using manga fanart
cmon anon.
>>32709928
>forgetting green
Red and Blue made it because they are the gen 1 pair
Gold and silver made it because they are the gen 2 pair
Yellow made it because 20th anniversary pikachu wankery.
>>32709948
explain Japanese Blue then
>>32709959
didnt make it because glitches, the international red blue was the more stable version. thats why its there and green/original R/B arent.
Crystal not being there isnt some anti sjw conspiracy. the japs give less than zero fucks about your definition of what is and isnt PC. You might as well say BW arent on the VC yet because they feature black NPCs, it would be just as vaildread, not at all
>>32710018
>didnt make it because glitches
except it did
Japan got Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow on the VC
the rest of your post is nonsense that is for OP anyway
>>32710018
>didnt make it because glitches, the international red blue was the more stable version. thats why its there and green/original R/B arent.
And here we have someone who doesn't know what they're talking about.
The real reason for Crystal's exclusion is the Japan-only Cellphone features being unusable.
>>32710098
not really, they can be emulated, at least to an extent
GF simply doesn't want to cannibalize GS on the VC since Crystal would be better
>>32710121
yellow cannibalized r/b by being the only emulated game with color.
I grew up with a gameboy color, so I was disappointed that it's either a grayscale or a green-dot matrix appearance for the 3ds release.
It's disappointing that even emulators that anyone can find online can add color to it. If nostalgia fags don't want color on R/B, they should've included an off button.
But nobody would've done that because having color is how most people got into Gen 1 outside of the initial Gen 1 fags.

>yellow cannibalized r/b by being the only emulated game with color
not in Japan since Yellow was released before the GBC so it's monochromatic like RGB
>>32710187
>It's disappointing that even emulators that anyone can find online can add color to it
emulators use SGB mode to add color, which is programmed in the ROM
the GBC boot ROM is what has the code for games to have special colors on a GBC and GBA, not the games themselves

I didn't have this pic yet, thanks!
The reason why they aren't releasing Crystal is because they don't want to spoil Kris' cameo in USUM.
>>32710536
krisanon, are you upset as i am that there's no crystal for virtual console?
i'm 99% sure it's not going to cannibalize sales like what others are saying so idk why nintendo has forsaken crystal ver.
>>32709928
go back to tumblr op
Fucking tumblr
>>32709937
It's made ambiguous in all the games. The only canon is that Kanto's protagonist is a male named Red and the rival is Blue (Green in Japanese)
>>32712421
Incredibly upset, it feels like a huge slap in the face and like they're refusing to acknowledge she exists. I agree with you about how it wouldn't canalize sales of GS, plenty of people also bought RB even though Yellow was available. Maybe the phone thing people are talking about is the real reason it's not being released but it still feels wrong, maybe they actually do want to ignore Kris for some reason. Sure I can just install Crystal with CFW but just seeing her being acknowledged would be nice.

Rude, is there a translation of these comics?
>>32710098
>>32710121
But what ifGame Freak is trying to re-integrate the mobile adapter features into Crystal,
including non-Japanese versions?
>>32713072
Probably Ethan is canon as well.
But all othe games are left to interpratation of who is canon. More likely the female protagonists are:
>May
>Dawn
>Hilda
>Moon
>>32713259
>>32713399
>>32714110
>>32714150
I get why one would think May and Dawn are canon because of the anime, but why Hilda and Moon?
>>32714292
Thanks Crt!
>>32714292
I want to fug__Y__
>>32714558
it's not because of the anime. But dunno, May and Dawn design seem more right for a main character.
>Hilda was designed before Hilbert. This can mean nothing, but more likely she was what game freak had in mind for BW protagonist and maybe she was more right to BW story with N.
>Moon has a more interesting design, is much more popular than Sun, and her interactions with Lillie and other characters are more interesting
