Nintendo Should Re-Release The Original Pokemon Games as Downloadables for the 3DS/DSi

Recently it has come to the attention of Pokemon fans that the original 6 games (Red Version, Blue Version, Yellow Version, Gold Version, Silver Version and Crystal Version) have a certain battery life built into them. That battery life lasts around 12-15 and most batteries will expire this year, preventing anyone from playing the original cartridges properly.
While these cartridges may be lost forever, the games can still be preserved. This petition is to raise awareness to Nintendo and Game Freak about the demand for a re-release of the original 6 Pokemon games in their original format. This re-release would not be on a cartridge but would be downloadable content from the DSi/3DS e-shop, where anyone could purchase the games and download them. This would not only preserve the games, but the memories that go along with them.
The re-release of these games would benefit not only Pokemon fans who wish to revisit the original series (and newcomers who want to experience it for the first time) but would also benefit Nintendo and Game Freak for the sales of these games would fly through the roof.
