Up to now, most people have been talking about wireless functions and how the Pokemon could potentially transfer through PokeBank, but what we've neglected to talk about are some of the key "features" in these games that for one reason or another, probably won't make it to the DLC, but how would they be handled?
Glitch Pokemon and Glitch City - The original games were incredibly glitchy and that was half their charm. Now they're being ported. Even the best games come off with a few glitches in transition. Did Game Freak reprogram the games from the ground up to address these issues?
Game Corner - Due to certain EU laws, this has been removed in future games, however, the Game Corner plays an integral role in both the Team Rocket subplot and also for our ability to "catch 'em all". The irony of course, is that even if the Game Corner was replaced with an 8-bit Voltorb Flip, the game still deals with Team Rocket's thinly veiled animal poaching and trafficking scheme, which we must contribute to in order to catch 'em all (only place to catch Porygon)....but as long as there's no gambling, its okay!
Jynx - They changed its skin color in response to the blackface controversy. Let's not get in a big conversation with how you feel about this because that's besides the point--fact is, Jynx's face was recolored. RBG probably gets a pass because its monochrome, but Yellow is not so will they risk another controversy or will they change Jynx's face?
Mew - This could have gone with glitches but I think it deserves its own point. Mew wasn't programmed into the original Gen I games. Are we going to get an event for Gen I DLC?
