>Japanese boomers have nostalgia for online battles in GEN 2 on GAMEBOY
It's not fair... We didn't get that until Gen 4. When they were working on HGSS they probably put more effort into it because they had memories actually playing the original. Also, I was so dumb I thought that the wireless link cable that came with Fire Red and Leaf Green would let you play online somehow until I finally tried it the day it came out and realized it doesn't even reach across the room.

      Does the Japanese fandom have arguments about whether RG or Blue is the superior way to play green 1?

      Wouldn't be surprised if there's videos (in Japanese) on YouTube.

      there's a team working on it, it's in an alpha-testing phase atm. you can find it if you google the mobile adapter. crystal content seems to be the main focus, but there's stuff on mario kart gba too.

      i remembered when i was playing the Vietnamese hack of this game way back then there was this pokemon center in goldenrod that was larger than usual and whenever i talk to the npcs there the game would just freeze. then i learned recently-ish that they're supposed to give you the GS ball after completing all the 16 badges. kinda bummer this didn't carried off to the english version and they just didn't make an alternative way to get a celebi there.

      The GS Ball had nothing to do with badges, it was a downloadable event flag similar to the ones we'd get for wifi events later.

      [...]
      The GS ball after getting badges was for the 3DS virtual console version of the game.

      the event was triggerable via an event activated by the mobile service, but you had to have 16 badges to redeem the GS ball

          Most games that supported it were GBA games.

    I still remember a time when people log their laptops online by connecting their phones. Anyway, I wouldnt have enjoyed this then. At least gen 4 had the benefit of being built-in and relying on the new-ish concept of wi-fi
