>>47654712Well buddy, you're getting offered a mitigating solution to your woes. You can either take it and make things better for yourself, bite the bullet and shell out the cash for the old games and old handhelds, or continue to wallow in freakish half self-inflicted misery forever while making threads about it. None of us can change the fact that old Pokemon games sell for way more than they should, and none of us can convince Game Freak to make virtual console releases for the rest of the older games, so you might as well take the offer for the next best thing.
If you still refuse, that's your problem.
