Announced in the European direct. Coming Feb. 27th 2016 to Europe/Australia. 

Took them bloody well long enough. I'm glad that wireless trades will be included, hopefully they expand on that by implementing compatibility with Pokemon Bank.

Japan is receiving a bundle that comes with a download code for a game, as well as a map, for 1349 yen. (They're also receiving Green on the VC.)

This was the star announcement of the day

If it has online trading than its instant buy for me.

I won't be buying it, but this is cool nonetheless. I know some people have been asking for it for awhile now.

If that bundle makes it to Australia, I'll be buying all three of them.

I won't be getting it, but it's definitely neat to see

Strange that Green is not coming for the West though

If Nintendo released this on the 3DS 2 or 3 years ago, I would have been extremely excited. I might still get it, but I am not guaranteed.

That's true.. don't need to spend time on localizing a VC game, though as you said, they are really similar, so it shouldn't be too hard to do

I'd get them if I could fill the screen. I can't stand playing a game when it takes up 1/3rd of the screen with no way to fill up that empty space.
