Like how Nintendo could do the same with Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros 1, Legend of Zelda 1, etc?

Never gonna happen.

I already got the ROMs, that's beyond the point.

Well, I guess there's nothing left to discuss then now, is there?

Besides, the GTAs had PC versions, but Pokémon never had any.

I'd be happy with updated virtual console versions, to be honest.

Hell, if they made it so you can trade with the new versions (even if it was Gold/Silver style, where you can't trade new Pokemon or moves), I would be one happy Camper.

I think the point is that ROMs are illegal, but Game Freak can put legit and legal version out there.

It's only illegal if you get caught.

It's simply not in their best interest, though. The argument I hear a lot is that they're not making any money off of the games anymore, but part of their copyright is that they have the exclusive right to profit off of the work, and remakes of say Super Mario Bros. might not be as popular if you could just play the original game for free, legally.

Acutally, ROMS aren't illegal if you already own a copy of the game, they're backups

No, that's bullshit. However, I feel that if you own the game (especially if you bought it new) then you are somewhat more morally justified in playing the ROM.

This is only true if the ROM copy is identical to the official one, including the save file

Why bother? There's not a whole lot of money in it. Meanwhile, making 3DS versions of RB or even Y would print money.

Nah. They need to make a HD-collector's-edition of everything. Because, well, money.

Virtual Console re-releases are not 3DS versions of the games. Even if they change or add/remove anything, it's still a Virtual Console release. As to the games themselves, Yellow is the second solitary version of Generation I since Blue was the first. At most, they'd re-release Red/Green in Japan and Red/Blue overseas on the 3DS' Virtual Console.

I think they should have released some (payed yet cheap) mobile versions of Gens 1, 2, 3, with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi replacing Link Cable functionality to trade and battle.

They could make a bunch of money doing this and this shouldn't be too hard if you can already emulate them but with no external trades/battles for free.
