>>34667856Isn't the main advantage of the VC titles the Pokémon Bank interactivity?
I still have my Red, Yellow, Gold and Crystal carts but what's the point? Whatever you do on them is stuck on them whereas the VC titles you can transfer up to SM. I'm fine repurchasing the games through the store because they have functionality that the originals don't.
I hesitate to say but, what's the point of playing original Gold otherwise? Is it to do with abilities and nature's etc?
If you enjoy it, then sure, go ahead. But let's not act like a fevered devotion to dying cartridges makes your choice, which has less flexibility, superior.
