1st Gen Are the 3DS versions exactly the same as the original?

You can now buy Red Blue and Yellow on 3DS...

Are they exactly the same as the originals? I know they have wireless trading capabilities, but are there any other differences?

There are a couple of slight changes in visual effects for certain moves: the flashing has been toned down.
Also, in the Yellow version, Jynx now has purple skin, and not black; and you don't need a Pikachu with Surf to play the surfing mini-game anymore, just the starter Pikachu.

Other than that, the games are unchanged.

Great, thanks for the info and links. I'm seriously considering buying Yellow for my 3DS.

That and the fact there is no way yet to use the original save files from the real R(B)/B(B)/ Y games at all. That is all I need to hear, so I could whomp you with my crew. Seriously I hate the fact they want you to replay through this bs again.

Better question. Does the Mew glitch works in these new ( original ) games and can you also get the mew through the old fashion way of trading and docking at the S.S. Annie. Can you get Missingno, and does the random name generate trick work for getting Lv.255 pokemon off the coast of Cinnabar.

Yup those were good times. Good times..

Play the game and poof a Lv. 145 pokemon in your friends troop. Still could take it out and all.

Think that was funny, G/S was better

I believe they've left all the original glitches and quirks in the games, yes.

Well, then I'm not buying it,,,, definitly not.

Can you transfer your original save carts to the game system, like via flash card to computer and flash card again?

What happens when Missingno is sent online storage?

What happens when mew is sent to online storage?

With the appropriate hardware and a 3DS modified to run homebrew applications, yes you can extract the save from a Game Boy cartridge and inject it into the Virtual Console version of the game.

Pokemon Bank is not yet updated to support the Virtual Console games (that probably won't be until closer to the release of Sun & Moon) but it's incredibly likely the app would either refuse to load your save or just not recognize MissingNo as a Pokemon that can be stored. Mew is anyone's guess, since the Mew glitch triggers a 'legit' wild battle with a Mew it might just as well let you store it as if it was obtained from a real event.
