As the final announcement of Nintendo's Pokemon Direct today, they unveiled a new line of Virtual Console iterations -- Gold and Silver.
Although we still have the relatively fresh remakes, the pair of beloved original Generation 2 titles will arrive in their original form on September 22 digitally on the 3DS eShop. While it wasn't explicitly stated during the stream we can assume these will have link capabilities with modern games by way of the Bank app. There's also no word on Crystal.
What's funny about these games is that they're notoriously hard to preserve in cart form because of their batteries, which cause the in-game clock to break. Now all you'll have to worry about is the eventual closing of the eShop years from now (ha).
