i still don't understand wtf link cables have to do with any of this shit.

wait, is the OP just saying that it will be harder to find people to trade with, not necessarily the process of trading? if so, reported for misleading thread title

He is saying directly that there are less potential consoles which the new versions of RBY could trade with yes, the reason for the link cable being mentioned is that while there was obviously more of the original game boys in existance than there is 2ds/3ds/3dsxl/n3ds/n3dsxl (fuck you nintendo) not everyone who owned an original gameboy/pocket or Color could trade mon with it, if they didn't have a link cable they wouldn't fit into the criterea of what the OP is suggesting.

 

 

 

Say there is 150 million units of a console out there, but 1 in 3 can trade, then the potential pool of people you can trade with is less than 50million

If there is 50 million units of a console sold, but all 50m can trade! Tis easy... but there is a ton more to factor in here, mostly being the runaway success of the originals is not going to happen in 2016 for the old games, just not happening.

so actually finding people with the game is the problem.
