If the Virtual Console had multiplayer, they would actually release the main series games like R/B, etc. That's the one reason why they'll most likely never show up because they would want trading/battling with them.
That being said, I'm glad at least _something_ is coming out. But like SotS said, can't wait until next year at the latest (maybe even 2016 and later >_>) for it to come over here (if it even comes at all...). I don't think this means that anything related to the new cards is coming out necessarily, just the fact that it's a Pokemon game that they can release and not worry about. They have their online platform already and they're clearly focused on that.
Also, I'm glad to have the Fancy Vivillon now. I traded for a PokeBall one yesterday so I'm pretty happy having all of them.
dmaster out.
