Now, knowing that RBY will not only be playable on the 3DS, but also compatible with Pokémon Bank and the upcoming Sun/Moon versions, it seems like the originals have ironically rendered their own remakes obsolete.
Sure, FRLG still have full color, the modern stat system, and Dark/Steel, but they also still lack 3D graphics, Day/Night, Fairies, and Megas just as much as RBY. And, they can't be played on current hardware, nor use Pokémon Bank and directly transfer to any games newer than Gen 4. They also aren't as easy to get a hold of as the RBY VC release. The presence of Gen 2 and 3 Pokémon in FRLG means little when they can't be obtained outside of the postgame.
Funny how this worked out, although GF is very obviously using the RBY re-release as a substitute for RBY or FRLG remakes. How do you feel about this?
