This will make it possible for players to move all captured Pokemon wirelessly from Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow, to the upcoming games.

Pokemon from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire along with Pokémon X & Y can also be transferred to Pokemon Sun and Moon using the bank feature.

Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow will release for 3DS tomorrow, February 27 through the Nintendo eShop.

If you're in the market for a New 3DS, a bundle featuring Red, Blue and Yellow pre-installed on the system will release tomorrow as well.
