It's because of that shitty cell phone gimmick the Japanese version had.

Do you really think people would buy Gold/Silver if Crystal was available at the same time? Mareep is pretty much the only thing they have over Crystal.
Dumb frogposter.

just make it more expensive
problem solved

>>33271132
why would that prevent a release?

>caring about VC when emulating and injecting exist.

>>33271148
Because a decent amount of shit was tied to it in Japan and unless they put the effort in to emulate it but with 3DS Friend Codes instead of cell phone numbers or something like that some things just wouldn't work.

Then there's the bullshit about either retooling the NA/EU version to allow for it as well if they go through with that because giving online multiplayer to Japan but not the west would be unfair, or just retooling the JP version to have the NA/EU changes that make certain things occur without the Mobile Adapter. But besides the Sin & Punishment translation, VC releases never change that much in the game itself. Most they do is change some flags, like just needing a Pikachu to play Pikachu's Beach in Yellow, or just entering the Network menu in MMBN games dropping event chips in your pack.

Also, South Korea never got Crystal, but did get GS. Further equality issues.

Good, crystal had so many missing pokemon compared to crystal

Assuming you have CFW and can save manage, yes, you can basically do anything.
For example, I already started my Silver playthrough on my comfy emulator setup, when VC releases I'll be able to just convert and transfer the save.

Crystal compared to Crystal?

>>33271118
It'll come out eventually, once G/S sales start to wane

>>33271239
Kys

>>33271137
Yea. People bought yellow and red/blue at the same time

>>33273468
Not nearly as many sales as they would have gotten if they released Red/Blue with no mention of Yellow later, then released Yellow later.

>>33271341
Well, yes, the lack of Mareep line was a fucking odd decision, but on the other hand, some Pokemon can be gotten earlier in Crystal (Teddiursa, Poliwag), so there's that trade-off.

>>33271118
It's probably to prevent people from trying to get a shiny Celebi to transfer up to Gen 7, since it didn't take long for players to find a way to get a shiny or regular Mew to go through bank from RBY.

Afaik, obtaining Celebi in GS is more of a process?

>>33271118
TPC, GF, Nintendo, Creatures, and pretty much everyone hate Kr*s that much.
