It’s a Pokemon Center exclusive, so if you live outside the US or Japan you’d probably have to use a middleman service / eBay. There’s no specific release date yet so there’s no telling when it’ll be coming exactly; all we know is that it’ll be out sometime this year.
That being said, I was able to dig up the Pokemon Center website listing using Google even though it’s not public yet. No price is listed and it’s only marked as “Coming Soon”.
Only the Red/Blue New 3DS will be available in NA, not the 2DS systems. And last I checked, the only place still offering preorders right now is Walmart. They are sold out at Gamestop, Best Buy, and Toys R’ Us. Amazon hasn’t listed them yet for the US, although I hear Canada has them on there.
Cant agree with this more haha. After playing on an emulator its almost impossible to go back. I tore through Leaf Green with blastoise on my emulator, I think it took me an afternoon to beat the Elite four, and all 8 gyms :]
Also, still works fine on my Gameboy light. Was playing it on the bus the other day but I just couldn’t stay awake. How I had all those sleepless nights as a kid playing these games is a wonder. They’re so damn slow.
Amen! I used to play for dozens of hours just making it from one gym to the next, or just trying to figure out how the hell to get to the moon so I could have a Deoxys. I pre-ordered Pokémon X, played twenty minutes when I finally got it, then sold the whole system because I just couldn’t pull it off anymore.
