My hype level has been into the stratosphere since it was announced. I nervously pace that I can't have it sooner. I haven't played Crystal since I was 12 and had a gameboy color copy. I'm strolling right down memory lane, singing. It will be also interesting to play it now in hindsight, I can breed shinies easily with Red Gyarados because in this gen a shiny parent significantly increased the odds of the shiny child. Any Pokemon I transport over will have their Dreamworld ability. I can even have a Celebi now.
I'm just thrilled. I didn't buy gold or silver on the e-store because I was waiting for this day. I had almost lost hope that it would come, and we'd see gen 8 games on the switch first. My prayers were answered. Now if only they do the same for Emerald some day.
