The Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]] releases can [[#Connectivity|link]] with other Virtual Console Generation I and II core series games via Nintendo 3DS wireless communication, simulating the [[Game Link Cable]]. Like in the original releases, they can only communicate with the Virtual Console Generation I core series games by using the [[Time Capsule]]. Unlike the VC releases of Generation I games, closing the communication normally does not cause the emulator to restart, although it does restart if the communication was cut due to an error. When initiating a link, the Virtual Console menu on the touch screen replaces the Cable Club attendant's dialogue. Additionally, all of the [[Game Boy Printer]] features are disabled, although the option still appears in the Pokédex and the PC menu<!--: when selected, the game acts as if the printing is in progress, even though, in reality, nothing is happening-->. | *The Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]] releases can [[#Connectivity|link]] with other Virtual Console Generation I and II core series games via Nintendo 3DS wireless communication, simulating the [[Game Link Cable]].

*In battle, when a Pokémon attacks, its {{wp|HUD (video gaming)|HUD}} doesn't disappear for the duration of the animation as it did in the original releases. This causes several graphical oddities, such as the animations of {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Splash}} causing the user's HUD to move along with its sprite. Also, some moves had their animations changed slightly to tone down the flashing by dimming the screen, although this is not the case in all localized releases. | |||
