Wow, these look awesome. Too bad there's not an easy way for me to throw money at you to play them on modern hardware. Too bad...

How on earth did I manage to accidentally sync up getting into Kanto’s Hall of Fame for the first time ON the game’s 20th birthday?? I finally got around to being the champion in this game I’ve had since childhood, complete with a Shiny Meowth as the 6th party member ✨✨

You post this, and immediately all Poketubers go wild and speculate about these games coming to NSO soon.
