i guess they're just the original games plus local connection support for trading/battle. nice that they're being made available but for $20? :|

i really wish they had patched in online trading. nobody from the generation that played this has local friends to trade with anymore!! (maybe telling on myself a bit)

for real. not even online support is wild.
that said as annoyed as i am, i'll probably still buy it so i can play a little before bed each night so i guess Nintendo knows what they're doing

your ass is grass version
it's been ages since i've played a hack but i was briefly excited by the idea of playing
Emerald Seaglass. the little retro handheld i bought ended up being a pain in the ass to use and i never got around to fixing it up/replacing the OS, then forgot

I was surprised by this because I assumed they were already on the Switch Online emulation service. But maybe that doesn't have the link-cable functionality? Seems like it could!

Weirdly, this makes me kinda wanna dip into
Pokemon Unbound more than anything, ahah
(That's the extremely gigantic hack a lot of peeps really seem to like! I haven't played it yet, though)
