Will Pokemon games ever hit the Virtual Console?

Wouldn't even have to be the main series games. Games like Pokemon stadium would be great!

Wouldn't you be stuck with only rental Pokemon?

I don't understand why they can't reprogram the games to have the 3DS's IR work as a link cable. They're too lazy.

That, and I reckon they want everyone focusing on the current games, plus they figure that the resources and cost, no matter how miniscule they may be, aren't worth it.

I wonder how popular this would be:

1. Put Pokemon R/B/Y on the 3DS eShop and Stadium on the Wii U eShop. Or better yet, all on both.

2. In the first scenario, have the Wii U read the eShop as a link cable, as you suggested. In the second, having the games on one system allows Stadium to just read the data from the R/B/Y files.

3. Simple online. Just take the two player battle mode and connect it to an online lobby.
