Eventually I did beat the Virtual Console versions of Red & Blue but the grayscale messed with my nostalgia.
 
More recently I played my Pokémon Red cart (which surprisingly still had the save file I started the previous time I restarted the game so many years ago, I can’t believe the battery still worked after 19 years) and that was a much better experience.
 
I love replaying these games though so if they ever release them on the Nintendo Switch, I hope they allow the GBC color schemes this time.

Well, the GBC color pallet looked no less repetitive to me honestly, and even it was kinda limited, besides if you need color that bad, they have Yellow version for that. I don’t mind B&W Gameboy games, as I had a B&W GB as a kid. Some games actually look better in B&W as opposed to the limited SuperGB or GBC color pallets, but some had some cool pallets, as well.
 
Gameboy Donkey Kong (1994) noricebly made the best use of the SuperGB, using different pallets for every level, added a voice to Pauline, an arcade cabinet style boarder, and even new SNES quality ending credits music.

I don’t like how Nintendo does not allow you boot up Red or Blue on their GBC emulator. I find the grayscale scheme to be dull and back then I would always play the games on my GBC (so I’m used to the mostly red/blue color schemes they would have).

Me too, though, the contrast looks a li’l darker to me then other Gameboy games on the 3DS. Which is odd, ’cause when you use the greenscreen GB option for Blue/Red, it looks noticeably brighter then B&W mode.
 
Oh well, at least the link cable options work.

Yeah but unless you had the foresight to back up your GBC save file to a computer with a third party device and a modded 3DS to accept your save file, you won’t be able to transfer your actual Pokémon from back then.
 
I wasn’t so lucky but still, a part of me is glad that others were able to do so.

Actually, in the 3DS Virtual Console version of Red/Blue/Yellow/Silver/Gold/Crystal they added the ability to transfer your Pokémon to the Pokémon Bank, so you actually can do that now.
 
To be honest, I haven’t had that problem too much with my old games. (I am very into retro games.) My old SNES game saves still work fine.

There was also capacitor memory, which like battery backup except the “batteries” were the memory, and if they weren’t refreshed every now and then they would eventually lose there charge

Battery backed up games were essentially the same thing but with batteries in the cart instead of an arcade cabinet that is always plugged. When the battery dies, your save file dies too. Unlike Flash memory which in theory will still work long after we are all long gone.
 
One of the worst cases of this was Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal. Both the game file and the clock were backed up by the same battery. Clocks used way more power so most people lost their Pokémon in just a few years. That combined with the lack of being able to transfer them to the next generation… it still bugs me that Nintendo did all that.

I miss arcades.
 
All old gamers do.
 
I think they could make a comeback, if they went back to 25-cents per game instead of 50. People are very cheap nowadays.  
Except when it comes to $400 consoles.

Nothing was more amazing on aSaturday afternoon than to suddenly find yourself and five different strangers working together to throw away your allowance as quickly as possible. That and the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles cabinet game… yea, that was my early 90’s.
