where is she?
xxx-massalso trading with fr/lg will be enabled.
Who said they planned to release it?
>>59043214RSE support was built into FRLG rom. Emerald Storm TCG set releases in July, so there's a good chance Emerald drops the same day, but no indication if RS will drop beforehand
>>59043177There is absolutely no way they rerelease Emerald, when they can rerelease Ruby and Sapphire for 2x the sales.
>>59043177what's the point of paying 20$ if it has no fucking trading like how the fuck am I supposed to get a gengar in Firered then?
>>59043250They will release Ruby and Sapphire first and then emerald a little later on. This way people are tempted to buy the worst versions before buying the definitive version. They did the same when dropping silver and gold on the 3DS eshop
>>59043250There's no way they'd skip Emerald when Crystal sold so well on 3DS. When the 3DS shop closed, all those games were the top sellers. Crystal was consistently the #1 seller, and despite releasing in 2018 it ended up being the fourth best selling digital title on 3DS, in terms of revenue (NA). Pokemon Yellow was #1. The paired versions don't appear on the list until Red at #7, and then Blue at #12. They know the third versions command the highest prices online, and that trend is true for digital versions too, and they know we're suckers who will double or triple dip again
>>59043242Bank has handling code for XY2. Datamines mean dick-all. Where's the announcement for plans to release it? Otherwise this was an exercise in yet mnore kantowanking by Game Freak, knowing casual spergs of all generations will buy it because KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. But that doesn't guarantee anyone outside the critically small band of spergs who'll buy ALL games will buy Not!Kanto.
>>59043276The fact they didn't even announce VC sales figures for GSC tells us they did not in fact sell in line with how you imagined them to have sold. If KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO could only break 1.5m and GSC was demonstrably less well-received than Gen 1 back in the day, it stands to reason that disparity is ALSO displayed by the VC re-releases (hence why they didn't list its final sales figures, despite 3DS eShop being dead and us 9 years removed form the re-release of VC GSC).
>>59043278We know they were working on the Z game. It wasn't a red herring. Diamond and Pearl also had Johto met data in the game. People denied the inevitability of HGSS for years for the same reason.Z got cancelled for a reason. There's no reason for them to cancel RSE after how well FRLG sold, especially when 2026 is another gap year for the mainline/non-legends series. When Arceus got delayed, they had ILCA make BDSP. But it turns out they can just dump the old roms on the shop and save millions of dollars and months of stress. So it's strange to assume we won't see more low-cost quick turnaround releases.
>>59043297We know Gen 1 broke 1.5 mil in 2016, which includes RBGY. When the shop closed, Yellow was the best selling title for the lifetime of the shop in North America. Crystal was 4. It outsold muh Charizard version and blue. The likely reason for them not publishing figure for GSC is because they release in 2017 and 2018, when Nintendo wanted to focus on Switch sales. 2016 was all-in on 3DS, and it was 2016, when the Pokemon press machine was in full gear

>>59043311Uh-huh. We know they tried to make Legends Johto too, but it got changed to something else, what's your point? If they wanted people to expect it, they'd in fact announce plans, hint or somehow acknowledge the possibility. Not just drop games out-of-sequence and leave it at that (because the fact they DID drop OOS would be strange and unusual. Were it not the fact it was the series' 30th and they dickride Kanto to hell and back). Something actually official and not speculation based off backend code that we KNOW can be misleading to the reality of the Pokémon series (I don't give a fuck HOW it happened, it happened which leaves precedent for it to happen again, despite people wanting to be utterly hopium-addled).
>>59043329Bitch, it's been 10 years. If they were selling numbers to bust 1.6, they'd be added but eShop by the time those showed up was a dead ecosystem (Switch was already released when GSC was launched on it, for fuck's sake), much less if GSC had hit a milestone, they'd be crowing about that on top. They have the data and they're choosing to not further expand on it. That means it's not worth noting in the grand scheme of things.
