Also do you guys think they'll patch any glitches at all?
6. Potentially discover more hidden features in the VC emulator (maybe there are more special effects/commands than just the blur?).
Blur? I thought Nintendo just applied small changes to reduce flashing :P
Something to note of: Opcode FC in the VC emulator does something, while on real hardware it's an invalid opcode. This may be related to reducing blur, or it could be for something else. You can look at the changes Nintendo applied to some gb ROMs here.
[size=4pt]Kinda funny how your personal text is "Unknown opcode fc at 801a".[/size]
Since the games were originally rated E by the ESRB, I think theyre in the clear to re-release them under that rating in North America without concessions to modern moral panickers.
In Europe, PEGI didnt exist at the time of the original release. The UK Pokémon site lists a PEGI 12 rating, higher than any other game in the series, which suggests that they have retained the Game Corner.

TPCi used to lie about the PEGI rating prior to this, claiming it was 3 like the other games. But if 12 means keeping the Game Corner intact, then that's a good thing. I wonder if they could keep the 3 rating by adding slot machine text that says "Kids aren't allowed to play!" or something along those lines, which would fit with the Rocket Game Corner's slogan "The playground for grown-ups!" And this assuming that they didn't change anything, of course.
Can games really do that and take the porn website approach though? "Oh, the game's for 3 and above, but we trust them to be honest and not play the Game Corner part if they're not old enough".
I am not sure how other European countries used to classify games before PEGI, but here in France, we previously had the SELL classification (Syndicate of leisure software publishers).
SELL classified Pokémon R/B/Y as "All public" which is an equivalent of modern PEGI 3. It didn't cause any problem back then. But as I mentioned before, as gambling references were not removed in "recent" french games like FR/LG, France might have softer laws on this.
