So, according to the official Pokémon website, the VC releases of Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow will be classified as PEGI 12 meanwhile in the US the game is rated E for Everyone.

It isn't specified why this rating was given but European fans speculate that it might be because of the presence of the Casino in the game aswell as lines of dialogue in the game that might reference violence on people/Pokémon.

What are your thoughts on the rating given to the Virtual Console Re-releases of Pokémon R/B/Y ?

The European Union has a lot of issues with casinos and gambling in videogames, for some reason. Those restrictions killed the casino in Pokemon since the 4th gen remakes.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

I believe the casino was playable in D/P/Pt too, tought I have to say that those HG/SS minigames were pretty damn fun...

The casino was playable in D/P/Pl, but since HG/SS they started changing the casinos into non-existence.
