In their most recent Nintendo Direct broadcast, the company announced that Pokemon Blue, Pokemon Red, and Pokemon Yellow are headed to the 3DS eShop as digital downloads. All three games will be presented exactly as they originally were with one notable exception: trading via the Game Boy Link Cable has been replaced by wireless trading.
All three games will hit the eShop on February 27, 2016 — 20 years to the day from Red and Blue’s original Japanese release in 1996.
