They're going to sell this for $20 and retards are going to pay that and argue with people who have common sense not to pay it.
And they won't even let you link it to Pokémon Colosseum in the NSO app.
>>733450002better its sold like this instead of being stuck behind a paywall with NSO or being double or even triple the price as some bundle
>WTF WHY ISN'T IT FREE? YOU CAN PLAY IT ON EMULATOR FOR FREE!>then go play it on an emulator?>B-BUT I WANNA PLAY ON MUH SWITCH!
>>733450002>>733450117>>733450213>>733450310Go back to >>>/vp/
Its for kids, OP.
>>73345000220 bucks for pocket monster isn't bad. It could be full price.
I wanted ruby :(
>>733450002I'm surprised it's "only" $20 and they're not going for $40 or even more.
>>733450002If they start putting old pokemon games on switch. I will now buy it
>>733450002these 20+ year-old games should be 5 bucks a pop, 10 at most
>>733450002>and argue with people who have common sense not to pay it.because you faggots keep complaining about it tooif you let retards waste their money in silence while you buy something you actually think it's worth buying then nobody would flood this board with useless shit flinging
>>733450606he wants the useless shit flinging trying to pretend some pokemon games getting released digitally is terrible so he can try stop people from talking about sony killing bluepoint and raising the price of the PS5 and PSN again
>>733450557Cool it with the antisemitism
>>733450373kids aren't spending $20 on this over some vbucks lmao
>$20Disregarding the chance of also getting the event tickets from NSO, isn't this a decent price for a separate gba game, or is the problem that it's not included with NSO (which is a valid complaint)?Like I see ebay prices and the cart is ranging from about 30 to 300 bucks before S&H.
$20 is slightly overpriced but I'd say $10 would be completely reasonable. $15 maybe because of Home transfer. $20 would be reasonable if it had online. As it is, yep, overpriced.However the discourse on this subject will never be reasonable because 90% of the people saying it's overpriced will call you "retarded manchild bootlicker goycattle" before you even tell them half of your opinion if you disagree with them, and the other 10% are arguing from a position of "the games are emulatable for free". In which case yes if you want to emulate them unofficially then go right ahead. You've been able to and will continue to be able to.All that said I'll be buying both versions cause I like the classics + Home transfer as a feature, loved it on 3DS and will do so here too.
>>733451027The primary comparison people make are the GBA games on Wii U VC were $8. Even being favourable by accomodating for inflation AND the fact the Pokemon releases have Pokemon Home interactivity and thus cost extra for increased functionality (similar to how that was the case on 3DS), I think even then $20 is pushing enough past that that it bothers people.
>>733450002>$20 for the last good pokemon gameand this is a problem because?
>>733451027its a bit much, but in the long run being able to buy the game and keep it is better than having it locked behind a paywall
>>733451172I respect the price concern, honestly. It can surely be cheaper, but personally I don't find it too egregious to not buy it.
>>733450002I love making fun of Pokefags, Game Freak fucks them in the ass constantly
>>733450002why the actual fuck would you pay 20 bucks for a Gameboy Advance game with no online function? at that point just fucking emulate it
>>733451027They’re not selling you a cart, they’re selling you a ROM file. The cart is a physical item made in a limited time frame and is largely a collector’s item now. ROMs for FRLG have been free and widely distributed for 20 years, such that most romhacks are based off them because of widespread availability. Everyone who’s played Pokemon has downloaded a Fire Red ROM at some point. In addition, we were promised ALL NSO titles with the $50 subscription package, which is a fair price for an all-inclusive emulation service. Now we don’t? Might as well cancel.
>>733451529BUT SWITCH 2!!!!
>>733451504>Game Freak fucks them in the ass constantlyand they unironically defend it with their heart and soul, its fucking bizarre, its like if they are critical of Gamefreak at any point they will take their toys away or something
>>733451338>and keep itTruthfully I'd like to see them in cart form in that price (in a perfect world).I like this method of getting gba mons regardless, since this skips the requirement of owning a ds lite and 3ds with bank just to bring them to Home.
>>733450213Being sold is obviously being "stuck behind a paywall". No Game Boy rom should cost anywhere near that much.
>>733450002Wake me up when they release emerald then I will consume like a good boy.
>>733450002The only reason to port these games to Switch is to be able to transfer them to the new games, like the battle simulator that they're going to release. Its the one thing you can't do on emulators/hacked consoles. Which makes this game fucking redundant because Kanto is already on Switch and it doesn't even have Home compatibility anyway.
>>733451556games on the NSO emulators are not every game to ever exist
>>733450310TPBPI cannot understand how people are so retarded. Pokemon games up to DS are literally no problem to emulate and even 3DS aren't hard.LIke fucking come on people. You should be able to emulate them on your phones at this point.
There is no home support. https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/english-pokemon-firered-version-switch/
>>733451626>pay once>you own the game >because its on nintendo and given their history even when the switch eshop shuts down you will still be able to download your copy and play it vs>its added to the NSO emulators >you have to keep paying a sub to access it >when they eventually shut it down you lose the game dumbass
>>733451680>Buy digital copy of Emerald>Beat the game>Scott invites you to ride on the SS Tidal to a new destination>You see this rendered in GBA sprite artwhat do?
>>733451850aaaaaaaaand dropped
>>733451776Do you not know English, hermano? Ingles por favor? Nintendo is the publisher.
>>733451850you expect gamefreak to be able to implement online into one of their old games? those retards can't even make a trailer run at 60FPS
>>733451756>to be able to transfer them to the new gamesYou can already transfer gen 3 pokemon up to home anon
>>733450002Wait, it's $20 for JUST FIRERED and not a bundle app containing both.BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>733451606Every Pokemon fan I know has critiques that they make about the games and recognises the flaws in them while still enjoying them. Everyone I've ever seen who talks like you and insists Pokemon fans are uncritical usually actively have not touched the franchise in over a decade and when actually pressed on any information about the games, they're openly proud of not knowing anything.
>>733451850It does. Just won't be at launch...
>>733450606It's frankly disturbing to see so many retards though
>>733451940do you? >noooooo the paper said I get all the games on the emulator what do you mean I don't get games that aren't on the emulator?!
>>733451910You don’t “own” digital purchases regardless. Any digital purchase is a rental service. And all of these ROMs are freely available anyway. People pay for NSO for the convenience because, when the product is free, you’re paying for the service.
>>733451831You don't seem to understand how utterly hopeless zoomers are with tech nowthey can't even drag and drop shit because they don't know how folders workI'm not joking, I've seen threads on Twitter where people demonostrate how utterly unwilling they are to engage with emulation despite it being easier than ever and tons of guides if you get stuck
>>733450002so this finally comes with virtual ereader cards right? and online trading? or are the heads at nintendo complete idiots?
>>733451934That made me unreasonably mad decades ago
>>733451998Not on an emulator. You need to transfer it to a 3DS and then use Pokemon Bank and you still have to pay for the premium version of Home anyways.
>>733451850OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>733451027>Like I see ebay prices and the cart>I see the cart>cartgee, anon
>>733452074You okay bud? 4chan is an English-language website, sorry hermano. Nintendo never sold its old ROMs separately on the Switch until now.
>>733452109>nintendoretard
How will trading work? I assume Home will be one directional.
>>733452143>Not on an emulator.No fucking shit did you expected something different?
>>733452076>copes and tries to move goalposts how many years on has it been since nintendo has shut down wii/DS/wii u/3DS eshops and have kept up the download servers so people can download the games they bought?
>>73345109710 is acceptable but only BARLEY.I like being able to trade with myself. It's fun and im tempted to go for a gen 4 national dec.
>>733452213Local trade is all I’ve seen , still not sure if you ca transfer to home but it would be completely absurd if you couldn’t
>>733452051>while still enjoying themif you're still paying full price for these games then you're objectively cattle. there isn't any other metric required here.
>>733451097It would be overpriced at $1, it cannot be worth buying unless it has work put into it. It's supremely retarded to allow yourself to be milked like cattle.
>>733452174The game cartridge, not the shopping cart.
>>733451338>it's better to pay for it than to have to pay for itinterdasting
>>733452213Local only for FireRed/leafgreen and probably one direction in home unless you can use home to trade them like we do with let's go? We still don't know.
>>733451504Their asses are vacuums for cock and cum
>>733451850I was gonna correct you, but apparently it just got weird.The Switch eShop listing on the actual console listed Home support coming post-release very specifically. It was explicitly stated. However Serebii says that's now been removed from the description, which I just checked and it has. No official statement though.
>>733452258Is no one seriously responding to this? Yesterday a dozen people were saying that physical Switch games were temporary licenses. Now people are saying digital purchases are permanent ownership?
>>733451606I'm convinced they love shallow and hollow products to fill their vapid and empty soulless husks they call a soul.
>>733452350I get you're accustomed to leasing consoles, but yes a one time purchase to own a product is different than paying a recurring fee for a game that you lose
>>733451937>the piece of shit is actually a piece of shit!!no shit
>>733451910>even though they're directly charging yet again for a 20 year old game i'll pretend they'll stop right after
>nintendo rereleases super mario 3 advanced on virtual console>it comes with all the e-reader levels and bonuses>costs 7 dollars>game freak rereleases shitty remakes of the original red/green on virtual console>entire internet is on fire, awash with debate over if the lugia/ho-oh, deoxys and other events will be available>doesnt have home support on launch>likely cant hook up with colo/XD on NSO to transfer those mons up>is 20 dollars for one version of the gamepokemon fans are quite literally the textbook definition of niggercattle and i must congratulate nintendo for releasing a perfect way to see who is a mindless consoomer or not
>pay $50 a year for NSO>Nintendo drops two ROMs separately using the exact same emulator, but now it’s an additional $40>people unironically defend thisNow let’s watch as Gen 10 isn’t revealed during the direct either. You’ll defend that too, right?
>>733450002I would been all over it if it had.Online trading and battling.Rewind and fastforward.Mystery gift Mew included on the start Menu.
>>733452270OATS WHEAT BEANS AND BARLEY GROW
>>733452413Better to wait for the pokemon presents. Maybe they wanted to reveal it at the event? Kinda stupid but I doubt these games won't have Home support if even the old game boy games did on the 3ds with Bank.
>>733452420you probably saw one of the snoyschizos having a tantrum, one of them lost their mind when it was pointed out Pizza Tower ONLY has switch physical editions and so he started screaming that "owning a physical copy is not real ownership!" and jerking off digital purchases no one said digital purchases are permanent ownership just that buying a game is infinitely better than paying for a subscription service to have access to the game
>>733450002You can’t afford $20 friendo?
>>733450002Too low should've been $50 they're leaving a lot of meat on the niggercattle bone
>>733452530Yes retardo, they are going to add paid DLC to pokemon fire red
>>733450002Is this at least enhanced for widescreen or something
>>733452602Seeing Pokefaggots defend this just proved they are the most retarded gaming fanbase and its not even close
>>733452602>>likely cant hook up with colo/XD on NSO to transfer those mons upIn what world would you be expecting this.Can you name another example of two seperate games re-releasing on modern platforms and retaining compatibility with each other that isn't code-based.
>>733452602Super Mario 3 on Wii U was so good, I am nostalgic for when Nintendo sucked less
>>733452615lol they really be out here telling these fags to pay up
No online trading is a dealbreaker for me. I literally can’t complete the dex without it.
>>733453082just get one of your friends to play and trade with youyou DO have local friends, right?
>>733452623>I would enjoy it if it weren't such a half assed piece of shit
>>733450002There's nothing to really argue about. The subspecies of the Tendie, the Pokefag, has been a legendary retarded cocksucker for a very long time.
>>733452778That's very clearly not what I was talking about.
>>733450420This.
>>733452682There's a precedent for Home support with the 3DS versions so it really would be weird to not have it, especially when it is the primary justification to be selling it seperately. I'm hopeful it'll still have it but very confused if it doesn't.
>>733452830That'd be too much effort for them.
>>733452830sure, you can blow it up stretched out to full screen if you like>>733452965yeah, Banjo Kazooie, Tooie, and Nuts & Bolts did. I mean what planet do you live on where you don't ever expect this, you have to be the biggest slop in a trough enjoyer imaginable.
>>733453118I did have friends to trade with… in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
>>733453390The Banjo releases on Rare Replay from a decade ago?
>>733452197ya u
>>733453405Aniki, your time machine?
>>733453405maybe its time to get back in touch and ask if they wanna play, I'm sure they'll respond positively
>>733453470>Things NEED to suck cock now, bro
>>733451850Fans will still buy it.
>>733450002I already preordered it
>>733452965>in what world would you be expecting thisidk the multi-billion dollar company should be able to have the same functions that emulators and flashcarts have had for decadesi suppose to tendie cocksuckers that asking for my games to have their full breadth of features is akin to terrorism which is why i dont buy their garbage
>>733451316Those arent black 2 and white 2 though.
>>733452965It's piss easy to identify Pokemon. That information has been widely available for years and it doesn't change between installments.
>>733450002it's really a shame because the game with proper online functionality WOULD be worth 20, but they're basically selling a game that could be bundled into the emulation software that comes with the online sub with less functionality and slapping a price tag on it.
>>733450002goodpokemon fans deserve nothing so I hope they will sell even shittier, more expensive roms
>>733453514>t. retard
>>733453712>idk the multi-billion dollar company should be able to have the same functions that emulators and flashcarts have had for decadesPublishers will continue to ignore the existence of emulators (until they decide to spam C&Ds) until morale improves. Frankly, what M2 does for arcade ports should be the standard for porting old games.
>>733450002>$20If only they'd pay only that little.The people who are going to pay for it are going to be paying $20 per version (x2), per language (x5) for a total of $200
>>733450428all of them are coming, guaranteed
>>733450310The internet has turned into a den of insufferable bums and communists.1) If you're an employed adult hanging and your friends want to go out and do something and you balk at $20, they're probably gonna stop inviting you to stuff on account of you being a massive fucking cheap ass.2) If you're unemployed for whatever reason, you should have mastered the art of not spending money. Ghetto workarounds are a rite of passage. Back in college, we used to emulate Wii games by mapping the motion controls to a secondary analog stick.3) Old stuff is generally cheap because it's outdated shit no one wants to buy. If a lot of people are whining about the price, it is evidently not outdated shit because many people want to buy it and the seller is pricing it accordingly.You cannot be both cheap and lazy. That's called being a bum.
>>733450480switch alrady has more than 10 pokemon games phaggot
>>733452076it doesn't matteryou could download your Wii games when ot closed shop and can play them as long as it werkssame will happen with switch
>>733453712>the multi-billion dollar company should be able to have the same functions that emulators and flashcarts have hadThis, it's possible to import Pokemon from these roms into the likes of Stadium to use in 3D fights in the stories and such, do supposed fans of these games not know this? is it Stockholm syndrome? why are they paying Gamefreak and Pokemon Company for jackshit; which will in turn disincentivise them to ever put effort into these games again. They are peak retarded, brain no workie.
>>733453660was it changed to modern audiences? (pic)
>>733450002Weird how nintendo/pokemon company celebrate the 30th anniversary of pokemon by selling their fans a 20 year old game for $20. This is so greedy.
>>733454545You people do not strike me as real people who go outside. Ain't nobody who exists who would think throwing twenties away is OK. You cannot pass this shit off as conventional wisdom you piece of shit.>You cannot be both cheap and lazy. That's called being a bum.It's called Pokemon. You retard.
>>733450002I've seen mother fuckers bend over backwards as if John Gamefreak was literally paying them to defend this shit. What is this phenomenon called?
>>733454954Man the left really can't meme to save their lives.
Is it rated Adults Only in Europe because of the slot machines in the Game Corner?

>>733454897>Ain't nobody who exists who would think throwing twenties away is OK20 dollars really isn't that much. Do you know how much people spend on fast food?
>>733454897To the people who are going to spend $20 on an activity, it's not throwing away the money since they're using it for something they want to do. To the person who spends $20 on one of these games, it's not being wasted since they are getting something they want.>Hey anon we were going to go to the museum to check out the new exhibit, do you want to come?>no way fag why spend money to go look at something in a building when you can look at it online>Oh okay. (stops asking if you want to hangout)
>>733455126$20 is three steak/chorizo tacos and a margarita at my favorite texmex place. $20 is nothing.Still probably not buying it if this is just a straight dump of the rom. Too used to playing romhacks on my phone at 3x speed
>>733455126>i can pay 20 to eat shit, mad poorfags?this truly is the great consoomer litmus test isnt it
>>733450002WhAt ArE yOu PoOr?
>>733455301>>733455529Why are you poorer than a thirld worlder?
>>733455529He's not saying that, just it's absurd to act like 20 dollars is a big deal when that's like 2 hours of work.
>>733455126he's rightif you have only one hobby in your life, and only care for a tiny subset of it, you don't just lack perspective on prices, you lack anything to spend your money on
>>733455784>>733455881and why the fuck would i bother wasting 20 of my hard earned dollars on a game boy game without any extra fluff? that money gets me a flashcart that lets me play every single gba game on native hardware, plus romhacks and additional emulator features
>>733456072can you transfer your gen 3 mons from a pirated gba copy of pokemon fire red? thought so, lol
>>733456072I'm saying your argument should just focus on the part where it's a pointless because emulation is easy, hyperfocusing on the 20 dollars part just makes you a poorfag. It would be a bad purchase if it was 1 dollar, but you wouldn't call it overpriced would you?
>>733456152>oh yeah well you can't transfer pokemon from a rom to the dogshit new pokemon games ha gotcha
this shit is so retarded
>>733456332this u?
>>733456375oh no what will i do without my heckin charizarino in legends z-a guess i gotta pay up
>>733450002>Poor "people" losing their shit over a 20 bucks
>>733450002The bigger issue here is that this offers nothing different from the original. Which means the original is still the definitive edition. Like if we look at an M2 porthttps://youtu.be/L4-z9VRNKcQWe get>1:1 accuracy with the originals exceeding all other ports>4+ new game modes>an entirely new soundtrack by a very high profile composer>extra hud features to track background data>global online replaysWith this we literally get something that runs worse than a gba rom. This doesn't even have online multiplayer. Like this is worth less than a dollar by virute of being worse than the original. It's extremely odd. You aren't paying for the definitive copy to own.
>complain when Nintendo releases older games separately for purchase>complain when Nintendo releases older games on a subscription serviceWhat do you people want?>inb4allgamesshouldbefree
>>733456816Funny thing is, for those complainers they are free. They just love to complain.
>>733456878This. Getting buttblasted about how other people spend their money is peak underage behavior.
>>733456816Bro you have to be trolling. They're porting a handheld game to a handheld. They didn't even up the resolution, the trailer has black bars on the side. This is literally an unedited rom.
>>733457148>guise here is an unedited rom of this beloved GBA game, 20 pleasehurrr why no QoL improvement durrjust don't buy retard
>>733455259ON FOOD, YOU RETARD. Not on a fucking digital copy of a 20 year old 4 megabyte handheld rom.
>>733455881$20 is half an hour of work, but I ain't wasting it retard.
>>733450002for some money is hardly an issue, the $13,000 limited edition version of the new Pokemon Pinball machine sold out within a day.
>>733456152Yes, YOU CAN.
>>733457376Fanfic.
>>733457148Don't bother. Tendies have absolutely zero standards. If Nintendo sold these lazily repackaged ROMs for $80 they would make threads defending it and yelling "POOR" at anyone who doesn't buy it.
>>733456310It would be overpriced at a dollar, you giga retard. It isn't worth money.
>>733457447Says who?
>>733456935You ruined the franchise you piece of shit.
>>733456816>inb4allgamesshouldbefreeA game from 2004 shouldn't be resold for 20 dollars.
So is this switch 1 and 2 or just 2?
>>733457514why not
>>733457495Ruined it for you*For me its perfect haha sucks to be you.
>>733450002I don't mind that they're selling it for $20, that's better than not making availableBut it's messed up that it's not also on NSOAll of these games should be on nso AND be available for purchase. It's fucked up for things to be only available one way
>>733457253>ON FOOD, YOU RETARDI specified fast food, you think McDonalds is an essential?
>>733457252I'm not going to buy it. This could have been an opportunity to get me to play a pokemon game again for the first time in like 15 years and they dropped it. Why can't they have online multiplayer? Why can't the have wide-screen resolution? Why can't they have an option arranged soundtrack? Anything dude, this is fucking lazy. They couldn't even combine every language under one game. It's LITERALLY just a rom. You used to be able to buy n64 games on the wii for like $10, this is devishly lazy, it's like they hate their customers and have zero respect for their IP. I feel genuinely insulted.

every modern pokemon game is a 0/10. all pre-switch pokemon games should’ve been available on the switch since launch. gamefreak is slow to do anything wise with their IP and has absolutely 0 talent with game development. it’s a shame the entire thing is just floated by disney adults so it will stay in profitable enshitification hell forever.
Reminder that Nintendo recently stated in a mario movie interview that they think games are temporary and disposable.
>>733459263Go play it, great game
>>733450002imma be honest 20 bucks isnt that bad it could've been worse, also the market for these karts is abysmal right now.
>>733454897>>73345725320 bucks on something transient as food is technically more expensive than 20 bucks on a game (even if old) that you play for several dozen of hours and then keep it for years.Anyone saying the base pricing for any videogame is "insane" is either underage, a jobless fag or a sales-addicted fag with +500 untouched games on his backlog.
>>733459623I am going to buy it to own the liberals
>>733450002I thought you were exaggerating but no it really is $20 for one version of the gameBrahSelling them is one thing, but shouldn't it be like $5 to get a bundle with both, maybe $10 if they managed to add online play
>>733459701Enjoy your $20 rom, dipshit
>>733450002>$20 rom files>no online>not immediately home compatibleGenuinely hope Pokefans enjoy it but it sounds like a rip-off.
>>733459270What part can you not understand? for context, gf = GameFreak, 'tendo = Nintendo and tpc = The Pokemon Company, he has a low opinion of these companies due to their business practices and claims they can 'lick my taint', a more crude term akin to 'kiss my ass'
>>733454571and they are shit put the good ones on it
>>733459748I've paid a lot more on shit like visual novels and Japanese games in general for years, so people crying over 20 bucks for an old game is rather hilarious to me. But I guess that's the results of the Nintendo derangement syndrome.Hell, I still remember this one Chou Aniki Collection on Switch was like ~7000 yen for just two retro titles (the PS1 title wasn't even included).There is MGS4 that I plan on getting later this year and that's also a 20 years old game that would be bitched as much for its pricing, if people like you weren't such bandwagoners.
>>733450002>>733453241>nooo you must drop $200 on a shitty chinese emulator console or a jewish scalper's cum-soaked old cartridgeHoly shit shut up faggot lmao
I have a GBA SP and my old copy of FireRed still. If I'm playing an old style Pokemon game, I'm probably gonna play a ROM hack or something instead with QoL adjustments or something else to offer.I don't know what retard is going to pay $20 for literally nothing added to the game but (eventual) Pokemon Home support, but it's not like every Pokemon in those games hasn't been available in the other more recent games. It's not like $20 is a lot, but for something you can get for free on literally anything else? That's ridiculous.
>>733450002It's a bit high price for such an old game but it is peak Pokemon.
I've been spoiled by not having to waste a slot for an HM whore or move slots on good Pokemon. Going back to having to do that is rough.
>>733459740Wii U had games priced at $7
>>733450002>doesn't have his old carts to replayAre tendies ether kids or just toss out all their old games?
>>733459991>I've paid a lot more on shit like visual novels and Japanese games in general for yearsI would NOT admit that dumb ass shit, wow.
>>733460635i sold them and sapphire for drugs man
>>733460168Who was Phone
>>733459991The Cho Aniki collection has more new content than this rom of Fire Red. More importantly, it's not that $20 is a lot of money. It's that this was expected to be way better for the consumer, especially those already paying for Nintendo's subscription service, so the price tag looks like greed.
>>733460328peak is Lets Go Pikachu >>733458326
>>733450117>No event Pokémon >No e-reader >No cross-game play except Home interaction>No online play>No save state/fast forward functionality >Not even optional goodies like concept art/music player that most GBA re-releases usually come with these days>Both games sold separately >Different languages sold separately Literally 0 reason not to just emulate the game.
Pre-ordered literally every single version of both games. Yes, all languages.
>>733460635It makes no sense no matter how you dice it. They don't own them already? They simply want to waste twenty dollars?
>>733460797These were all debunked.
>>733460382Something about the older games is that it's typically difficult to call a moveslot wasted since they don't have very big move pools in the first place. Not a whole lot of them really want four moves, you can probably do with just two or three. Having an HM slave is kind of worse since you're functionally missing a team member who could cover another type in this context.These days in the newer games every pokemon has like 50 fucking coverage moves and you have to justify even using more than three pokemon in a team so it's a little different now, but HMs aren't as spooky as everyone makes them out to be
>>733460769>Removes safari zone>Removes game corner>Adds gay gym requirements before you can attempt them>Rival replaced with some faggot that hands you items all the time>Fisher price artstyleIt is not as bad as people make it out to be, but it is below the other versions of kanto.
>>733461113>Removes safari zonestopped there, the entire game is safari zone
>>733460849Where did they say that you could buy both games together in every language for a single payment of 20$ and that they'd have e-reader and event content enabled on top of online play and cross-game connectivity with the GC games on NSO and that the games would come with bonuses like concept art and a music player as well as save states and a fast-forward button?I must have missed it.
whats the deal? i just use the gba sp and firered i bought for $39.99 20 years ago??
>>733461148What the fuck are you talking aboutThe safari zone is a specific area, presented as a minigame with unique pokemon and mechanics and you have to puzzle your way through it to the HM items.In LGPE it's just a square for importing pokemon from pokemon go.
>>733459263And yet somehow, it still ended up being the best-looking Pokemon game on Switch
>>733460824Giving money to Nintendo is their personality.
https://youtu.be/coRPOYmX0eQ?si=qVUpnQFI6iP472kV
>>733460714The Aniki collection had a few extra features (especially rewind) but it was still x3.5 times the price in yen, for just two PC-Engine games, compared to this Pokemon GBA rom. In either case, you'd still have a gaijin complaining that people would buy a old retro game on their modern platform of choice, instead of emulating (aka pirating) it. So it's not like it matters anyway.
>>733461362>What the fuck are you talking aboutGo play it, it's peak. Catching Pokemon is what you do, you do it all the time, you get streaks going and rare Pokemon and shiny Pokemon show up to catch.
>>733453035And they do it gleefully, and then mald at you if you point out this is ridiculous.
>>733461629I have played it one and a half timesThe following/riding pokemon are great additions long overdue for pokemon TO THIS DAY (I fucking hate Ohmori kill yourself), though there could've been more surf and fly type mountsI do like having overworld pokemon as wellBut otherwise it's kind of a game for if you've already played gen 1 and want to try an altered version of it. Or you want to play a mainline pokemon on the switch specifically since it's the only put together option. Though I guess FRLG will be there too now
>>733461362>minigame with unique pokemonAh yes, because I want to turn catching pokemon from something I can swing in my favor with weakening the pokemon, using statuses, and stronger balls into a gacha where I throw balls until it works or the pokemon flees.>you have to puzzle your way through to the hm itemsJust fucking walk how is that a puzzle
>>733459701I'm not surprised a Yakuza Kiwami 3fag is one of the people defending this.Companies will continue to give you less while charging you more and you retarded faggots will eat up the slop.Is $20 an insane amount of my net worth?Fuck no.Is $20 more than I should be spending on a GBA ROM?Yes. Absolutely yes. No if ands or buts.If I walk up to you and ask you to hand me $20 because I'm bored and I want $20 from you, you don't go "Yeah sure, $20 is nothing to me!"Or maybe you do.Maybe this is why Millenials don't own shit, because they don't understand what the fuck the value of money is.
>>733455126Millenials will say this shit, but then not own a home.Couldn't be me.
>>733462362It's a maze basically. Have to find your way around.It's also fun to have some different mechanics for portions of the game. Though if I remember right the rock/feed mechanic didn't work in the original games so lmao there
Why are tendies seething about this? I legitimately don't know why this is apparently such a massive issue
>>733460797>Different languages sold separatelyWhy??
>>733462630Just because I posted a pic of the worst recent remake made for the franchise (though Isshin Kiwami still takes the lead that way) doesn't mean I support it.>Is $20 more than I should be spending on a GBA ROM?>Yes. Absolutely yes.lmao what a babyIt doesn't matter if a game is old or new, 20 bucks is literally nothing regardless. I would even say that there is no strong difference between 20 or 70 bucks either for a videogame, something meant to keep entertained for many hours.Now if the game was buggy and crashing often, that would be a different matter.
>>733463217>It doesn't matter if a game is old or new, 20 bucks is literally nothingI never thought I would live to see people defending greedy tactics, but here I am.
>>733463217What's funny is I'm almost certain I make at least 2x as much as you.The boomers were right, millenials as a generation don't know the value of money.>I would even say that there is no strong difference between 20 or 70 bucks either for a videogame, something meant to keep entertained for many hours.You are a company exec's wet dream, and what's sad is there are more of you than there are me in this generation.
>>733463217>20 bucks is literally nothingThen set 20 dollars on fire
>>73345000210$ would have been perfect20$ for a rom is fucking crazy no matter what>>733450420>[Price] isn't that bad because it could be more expensiveMost retarded argument of the thread goes to...
>>733450002yep
how am I gonna get deoxys?
>>733463405>>733463424>people defending greedy tacticsThat sounds like a lot of projection from someone being greedy as hell, maybe try to live through a job for once.>What's funny is I'm almost certain I make at least 2x as much as you.I wouldn't be surprised if we have similar income but I'm not a virtue-signaling retard on the other hand. They're videogames, nothing more.If you were talking about something like the upcoming Dead of Alive 6 Last Round, which still seems to get paid DLC despite being a "definitive edition", you'd have a point with your arguments. But that's not the case here.
>>733463217>20 bucks is literally nothing regardless. I would even say that there is no strong difference between 20 or 70 bucks either for a videogame>it's not bad because it can be worse
>>733463872You don't even know what the word virtue-signalling means. You do not make as much money as me.
>>733450002I really like the upscaling and filters NSO has after the switch 2 upgraded them, so that'll suck to not have on this one.
>>733464029They're videogames meant to keep busy for a long time, them costing 20 or 70 bucks is a pretty cheap form of entertainment compared to a nights out or anything similarly transientWhich is why I think people constantly complaining about videogames prices should be rightfully mocked as socially inept cheapasses
>>733463217>I would even say that there is no strong difference between 20 or 70 bucks either for a videogamebahahahahahahaha
>>733464186I wonder what it was to make Millenials like this.Boomers weren't like this.They told their millennial children about how companies market things to make you spend more moneyhttps://youtu.be/MTzyz2TgGls?si=eY1uNpN9uuOhN0Ga&t=88Maybe Super Nintendo from NES is a bit extreme to penny pinch, but the principal was correct.Maybe Millenials like you secretly still carry a lot of resentment from being told by mommy that she won't buy you the new deluxe edition of a game you already have because It's not worth $20?Now you go around in spite, paying $20 here, $80 here because "Mom can't tell me what to do anymore, I'm a grown-up!"I think I accidentally just figured out why Millenial soiboys act the way they do.
>>733464186No one thinks like this. Food can go bad in a day. It still shouldn't be a few cents for a meal. Nintendo helped show how much one can ask for a download of a 20 year old video game. It's like $5. Anything more should get called out.
>>733460769Peak is Let's go Eevee, because it's fuckable and has even more fuckable evolutions. Pikachu is a cuck choice for the most cucked "Better Men" imaginable. I wouldn't want to get my dick electroshocked just because the little shit came.
>Adult Pokémon fans
>>733465007yes sex I love the sex having
>>733465124>>733465598In a pill.
>>733455129It's PEGI 3. I wouldn't be surprised if they do what Platinum did and just make them unplayable.
>>733450002I will buy pokemon for $20 cause I have a job, own my own house, have minimal bills, a retirement account, a profitable investment account, savings, and work from home.And I get the added benefit of watching poorfags seethe FOR FREE.
>>733450002Why are you complaining about the gba cartridge are like 60 in the retro markets
>>733466019This is LARP. Millenials don't own homes because they (as you exemplified) have poor spending habits.
>>733464629>Millenials
>>733466218>Dexter's Laboratory.gif>Proving my pointMillenials are truly eternally stuck as children.
>>733450002You guys don't have phones?...
>>733466361I can afford $900 for my phone, I can afford a switch 2 and fire red leaf green.
I would have been less reluctant to pay around 20 bucks for the DS or Gamecube entries, even if it still would be a lot considering the features they would probably not have. For GBA? Fuck no.
>>733466493I can afford $500 a week parking, it doesn't make it smart
Take my money nintendo! Finally a good game for the switch!!
>>733466521I'd pay $20 or more than $20 for an actual port of these games and the bells and whistles that implies.Not $20 for a fucking rom though.
>>733450002I bought lg, fr, saph and ruby in a 4 pack for $25. It was 100% just bootleg gba carts with a rom on them but they all worked and played perfectly. Got this off walmart too btw lmao. Kind of sad I'll have these forever where as you nigs won't be able to download the licensed game you paid money for in 2 years when they shut the store down.
>>733450002Im playing it on my phone for free
>>733452076You do own it dumbass! As long as you keep that account you bought it on.
>>733450002I can't believe there's people defending this. This is an actual scam
>>733457495Well why didn't you stop me?
The whole point of physical ownership of games is that we don’t need to rebuy them. So why are people saying we have to rebuy what we already own in hardcopy? What do you get from all of this?
>>733468487You overpowered me, for every game I didn't buy you had bought multiple versions and rebought the same one again.
>>733450702>simp melting down and deflecting
>>733450002Can it connect to Pokemon Home at least?
>>733451606And it's even funnier knowing that GameFreak absolutely despises Pokemon and none on their shit sell well enough where they can't NOT make Pokemon games.
>not on NSOthat's gay
>>733450002It should have been $10.
you should get both romspeople love getting scammed though
>>733451831im emulating the switch ones and boy do they all suck massive dickhow do you have a franchise as successful as pokemon and then just start making literal dogshit nobody likes
>>733473575They're far beyond the point of needing to try. They can put out a game with PS2-quality graphics and it will still break all sales records.
>>733450002>have a hacked switch and already beat this plus Clover/Radical Red on it over half a decade ago>still preordered it for my Switch 2 so my mom could play it
>>733450002If they sold it for $1.00 you'd still be bitching since you could just emulate it anyway. They can't win.
>>733474308Strawman.
>>733473575Why try when everything with the Pokemon brand slapped on will sell beaucoup bucks regardless of effort?
>>733450002$20 is a steal
>>733450002the nortubel of pokemon
Considering the lack of features, it just feels like a ripoff. I'm still angry about how none of my Wii/WiiU/3DS purchases transferred to the Switch. If I buy a Nintendo game, it should work on all future consoles, forever. The same happens with my PC games. Games I bought since 2001 still work on my modern PC. Sure it might need a little tinkering here and there, but being allowed to tinker with the games is a bonus.
>>733473575Those are particularly awful. Some kind of rom hack of the old ones is the best way to go.
>>733450002Ngl senpai i would pay 60$ just for the phisical editiont to have them as collectibles and because retro game niggers sell the gba cart at 150$ minimun but those are apparently JP only
>>733474759How? Look at how people treated the PlayStation Classic (emulation aside) despite it costing less than half of what the retro equivalents of its contents went for on the secondary market. People called the Classic overpriced too.
>>733475228Those aren't physical, they're cardboard boxes with download codes inside.
>>733474857>The price is great because fuckfaces on Ebay are selling it for hundreds of dollarsFuck offWant to see a steal?Check that out (picrel)
>>733475294Wait, really?? What the fuck, they can't even do that right.
>>733474857A physical copy of Fire Red on Ebay costs $20.
>>733452718>you probably saw one of the snoyschizos having a tantrum, one of them lost their mind when it was pointed out Pizza Tower ONLY has switch physical editions aka the worst version of the game. Can't make copies of it, can't mod it, can't give copies to your friend while keeping the original. Just seems like a waste of a purchase.
>Home compatibility>actual digital ownershipI don't understand the spreging, a little overpriced, but nobody smart wants to pay for it as an expansion pass exclusive
>>733451027It's a bit high, but it's also one of the best GBA games. I still have mine from when I was a kid so I have no reason to rebuy it, but for someone who has never played FRLG before it's a great deal for a great game. Again, though, I'd only recommend it if you don't already own it.
>>733475470>retardWhere do you think that site got it's average pricing? retro market is fucked, lower listings are outliners
>>733450002200$ for the Japanese special edition Gamefreak is dead Also the jacinthe trading cards flopped
>>733475231No one would call these overpriced if they were on the eshop for $1.That's your crazed Nintendo fanaticism speaking.$5 wouldn't be too much, I think they could even get away with $10 though at that point I'd call it overpriced without online functionality or pokemon home at launch.
>>733476245>Where do you think that site got it's average pricing?Lying to make shit seem more expensive than it is.
>>733475901There is no home compatibility.
>>733455126A fool and his money...
>>733451027>isn't this a decent price for a separate gba gameThe Wii U sold GBA games for less than half that.
>>733476370You know that you can filter eBay listings by sold items and there is no FireRed sold under $100, and those are cart only with ripped off label. Don't tell me you think those $20 chink carts are legit.
>"let us buy geam">"okay">"REEE NOT LIEK DAT, I PLAY ON PHONES, K BYE" the autism
>>733476375There is, just not at launch. it'll be said at the direct
>>733450420It should have been 80 desu. And id still buy it otherwise people on here will call me poor.
>>733477290Nope, they removed that from the description. There is no reason for them to hold back the announcement.
>>733450002i guess this means the originals R/B/G/Y or G/S/C wont be coming to switch or 2.
>already have rom running on my switch>I'll pirate the nsp for this anywayI'm a special kind of special ed
>retards actually complaining it doesn't cost more by not being NSO
>>733451529if thats the point why would you buy anything at all, just pirate everything like the poorfag you are
>>733477851Why was it even there then? they shadow dropped the announcement because it got leaked
>>733478559Leaks have never affected announcements before.
>>733474308(they shouldn't have sold this, there's already NSO)
I already have it on GBA and it has more features
These games were $8 on the Wii U btw.
>>733478705yes, they do. gta 6's trailer leaked, leading to an early trailer release. Pokémon has a full direct next week; it would have been saved otherwise
>>733479154Not for Nintendo games.
>>733450469>"only" $20i loldif you got both for $20 and it had home support this would be acceptabledidnt the VC pokemons on 3DS have home and cost less?
>>733478824Oh yeah, paying for a rental. Fucking retard.
>>733478504People would buy it if it was half the price and wasn't just the base rom. The 3DS VC titles were cheaper and worked with home. If nintendo keeps up these jewish antics they won't have many people left to sell to
>>733478824>pokemon game allowing save states which would lead to easy duplication of pokemon
>709
>>733450310I played it for free on my hacked 3ds. It's the only pokemon I played and I feel any desire to play another.
>>733481448It doesn't need to do that, it could be a new section to itself called Pokemon Celebration Collection, and the first two titles added would be Firered and Leafgreen.
>>733480273You're already paying for NSO, these should have been freely added to celebrate the franchise. Retard.
>>733481850*don't feel any desire
Did you guys see that the special edition won’t have the game? It’s a download code with a fancy box. Holy shit
Gamers need to start using accounting software to track their cash flow. Once you can see your reports and how much you spent on steam games, you'll think twice
They could have made a "pokemans classic collection" that had gens 1-5 for 20-30 burger bucks, and that would have been great. If (You) want to buy it, sure, go ahead.The reason people like me bring up emulation is that these companies, when they release an old game like this, they have to now compete with passionate autists that work for free. If you can't release a better product than them, you've failed. Look at the Sonic Origins collection. Look at the rerelease of Sacred 2, which was worse than just downloading the fan patch that did a bunch of stuff.t. had autism for Pokemon as a kid. Playing Renegade Platinum and Explorer's of Sky
>>733482006Steam sale buyers and Gamepass subscribers on suicide watch.
>>733450002You're poor
>>733450002Of all the games, why these two?
>>733484215Gen1
>>733484284Overrated.
>>733457253>ON FOOD, YOU RETARD.You've been playing vidya this long and you think consumables are a better use of money than something you can keep? You're the retard
>>733484215I expected Platinum.
>>733484780Absolutely, but it's why they decided that it would be the game to release
>>733485098I bought a $10 meal today and it was gone within an hour and that was me being as slow as possible.I'll be shitting it out sometime tomorrow morning.
>>733460849prove it, idiot.
>>733485098I also think having toilet paper is nice
>>733450002Let's be honest, people would still bitch even if it was five bucks.
>>733490810(because it should be free on NSO)
you deserve to be ripped off if you're still a fucking faggot tendo in current yeardie out already you cucked balding retards
I would be so excited for FRLG if it had online trading.
>>733450002no one cares about your rant retard
>>733490810The fucking GBA library is barebones and gets like 3-4 games per year and im being way too fucking generous with that number, people were expecting and even demanding that they will atleast put the classic pokiman gba games to compensate the dripfeed...and what do they do instead? Sell them at 20$ bucks per edition including each separate language, not even bothering to add new translations.
>>733490810Yes, because it should be on Nintendo Switch Online. Otherwise you can emulate.I was going to ask in this thread why Nintendo seems to continually take advantage of their fans and I constantly find the answer after reading a few replies in the thread and reading responses to their actions elsewhere online.
>>733480709
>>733450002I thought it was weird putting a game that's been emulated for years without problems on sale at a 20$ pricetag. Why not emulate it for free?
>>733450373>It's for kidsThis never was or never will be something that makes something exempt from critique, and only room temp IQ retards spout it.
>>733457363where are all these tendies getting their money from
>>733454897>Ain't nobody who exists who would think throwing twenties away is OKNow I know you're a literal kid. 20 dollars is the bare minimum you spend to have a good time with friends. Sometimes more.

>>733493915My dad works as an engineer and he can't blow money on a 12K item like that. You're as retarded as the guy saying $20 for food is fine and $20 for a game isn't.
>>733494146your dad sucks with money brah
>>733494229More like people spending 12K on a novelty item suck with money.
>>733494260probably alread 2xd their investment
>>733492979uh people operate on sunken cost fallacy normies want to play new thing emulating some dogshit game from 20 years ago wont set off sunken cost... although i do like retroachievements this does have achievements right?haha
>>733450310>implying people want to play this on Switch when phone emulators are already a thing Terrible bait, corpo cuck
In the hour you spent complaining about $20 shitposting from work, you already made $20 to just buy the game
>>733494146I'm an engineer and I could easily blow 13k on shit if I wanted. I don't do it as my actual hobbies are pretty cheap and I want to retire early.
>>733494349phone emulator is so much more retarded than anyone who just buys because pokemon. you're not even sentient at that point.
>>733450002they should sell it for $80
I miss the days when choosing to buy a video game with your own money wasn’t a critical judgement on your intelligence or ethics
>>733494348An interesting view on the psychology that'll make someone actually buy it for 20$.
Here's the target demo for $20 GBA games.
I will not be purchasing this since I have no interest in Pokemon, but it doesn't seem unreasonable. There's plenty of games on GOG from the same era and of around the same scope that are available for purchase in the same price range. I know "just pirate it lol" is a common sentiment here, but you can say that about almost every video game ever so I fail to see how that's relevant.
>>733494820>I fail to see how that's relevant.
>>733450002Just curious, how much was your last DoorDash order?
>>733494850Am I wrong? How is pirating Pokemon different from downloading a crack of whatever. We all know piracy exists. "This game isn't worth buying because it's free if you pirate it" is a non-point. Or, at the very least, it's not any more a point here than it is with other games.
>>733495056i bought the game $39.99 20 years ago and it's sitting in my drawer and i dont have a switch 2
>>733494669I don't emulate, not because it's hard, it's very easy actuallybut because I'm not brown so I don't have to steal or struggle justifying a $20 purchase on something I like
>>733495164>hurrr you're poor, you're a jeetfuck off, troon
>>733495214anon hit very close to home on that one
This game was $70 on release (which is over $100 adjusted to today's inflation)but back then you didn't see trannies crying about an snes rom being overpriced because gaming was a niche for people in first world countries and there were no third worlders feeling entitled to play the games for free
>>733495337>but back then you didn't see blah blah blahprove it
Who interested in Pokemon hasn't played these games already? They came out in 2004.
>hurrr you're poor, you're a jeetcorrect, you're inferior and all your seething comes from being poor
>>733495164Just say you like wasting money, anon.
>>733495376It’s for zoomers raised on pixelslop like undertale
If it has internet trades and events unlocked, I'd probably buy it. I was never able to complete the games as a kid due to trade shit. I wonder if you can buy it and then play it on both the Switch 2 and Switch 1 on the same account for local trades?
>>733495405it's a waste to you because you can barely afford survival so anything above that hurts your lifethis is why it's a third world issue, americans and japanese people have no issue with this
Which one would look cooler on my home screen if a girl saw it?
>>733450362When all other game discussions go back to their boards.
I'll gladly pay $20 for emerald
>>733495474prove you pre-ordered it then
>>733494820This is every game on GOG released before 2005 that is being sold for $20. Notice how there isn't that many of them. Most games from the early 2000s are $5-$10 and regularly go on sale. $20 is not a competitive price.
>>733494669This cunt tried to play a touch screen game without a touch screen and whined about it.
>>733495405>video games are a waste of moneywhat else is new?
>>733495616don't have to, you already proved you're below me
>>733495705yeah, that's what I fucking thought lol
>>733495703...not if you pirate them, though?
>>733495759non-brown people can afford things without stealing themI know it's an unfathomable concept to some
>>733495813>>733495616
>>733495835>>733495705
>>733495854>>733495726
>>733495875>>733495705
>>733495895you don't have to keep trolling, we get it
>>733495813Yeah reading all you guys' conversation I conclude you lost this small internet debatet. Independent observer with no skin on this game.
I keep seeing the argument that if you have a problem with the price you're just poor.Only imbeciles easily part with their hard-earned cash.Let's do a quick price comparison with some other top games from 2004 that are playable on modern platforms...Half-Life 2 (20th Anniversary Edition) - $9.99 on Steam (Regular pricing)Halo 2 (Master Chief Collection) - Currently $9.99 on Xbox and contains all games in the franchise before Halo 5.Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Master Collection Vol. 1) - Currently $13.99 Standalone on Switch eShopYou get the gist.Nintendo has the gall to shit out a GBA ROM with no added modern amenities for $19.99.Waste your money if you want.
>>733496060uh-oh, the troll's gonna get uppity for no reason and start trolling outside of /b/ again if he sees your post
>>733496060if it hurts you to spend $20 on a game you're simply a third worlder and video games were never meant for your economy so your opinion doesn't matter
>>733496091see what I mean
>>733496118It doesn't "hurt," I could just be using that portion of my video games budget towards a smarter purchase.Yes, I have a budget because I'm a grown adult and have rent and bills to pay.I have plenty of money, but I don't fritter it away as if I were a little boy like you.
>>733496264>I have plenty of moneyclearly you don't if you're trying so hard to ration $20, your worldview shows your struggle and misery
How can people play pokemon? Those games are so braindead it's not even funny and they are making them easier with each new game
>>733496264stop replying to the troll
>>733496359I have two responses to this.1. I mostly play games to have fun.2. While I don't expect Dark Souls combined with DnD, yes they've gone retarded as if the company has thought pandering to illiterate 3 year olds expands their market segment.
>>733497001>buying pokeslop
>>733496359People are generally more interested in getting a bunch of monsters. If they want a "hard" fight, they'll play competitive or something.
>>733496707sure but what's fun about those games? Combat systems are interesting but the actual encounters are so easy you don't have to engage with them at all. Story is non-existent. And building a team for competitive is a herculean task
>>733450002already bought mine
As you can see, the problem with Pokemon videogames being absolute shit is because of the fans.They will just buy anything pkmn related, so who cares about quality? They will gladly kewp to take it up their asses
>>733496413Yeah nah fair enough. Haven't been on/v/ since like 2013.
>>733494491>phone bad Pretending to be 50 years old is pathetic.
>>733450002cultists will buy anything their religion releases.
>>733497358Nah he's right touch controls sucks ass even for something like pokemon
>>733497358Using touchscreen buttons is subhuman.
>>733497454>>733497459There is nothing wrong with touchscreen buttons for a game with as little timed reactivity as Pokemon you cheetos fingered fucks.
>>733497454>>733497459Touch controls are fine for turn based rpg Also you can connect any controller with Bluetooth or usb c
is this game for android or iphone?
Awesome, hope they release emerald too
>>73345042020 is an extremely fair price and I don't even get what OPs issue is
>>733497698Why both of them? Isn’t it the same game?
>>733497717third worlders aren't willing to pay more than $5 on anything that isn't drugs or prostitution

>>733497001What kind of retard shit eating bootlicker makes something like this?
>>733450002Less than an hour of work. Who cares?
The more people cry about the FRLG rereleases the more I want to buy it. Thanks for convincing me to get it, emutroons
>>733450420It is full price for a 22 year old rom dump

>>733450362Bump p
I'm so blackpilled bros. We live in the Disney adult era now, nintendo can seel anything and adults with too much money will buy it because they have been brainwashed. Nintendo never has to try again. It's 5$ for ai upscaled resolutions and 70$ for Port here on out.
>>733496325Not how it works, shill
>>733450002>cant get the hoenn mons>very few johto mons >events not mentioned Hopefully the ace method isn't patched might be the only way to obtain some of the rarer mons
>>733495337That was just the way things were, cartridge games would were more expensive due to higher manufacturing costs having to do with larger memory capacities, enhancement chips or some combination of the two. That's why vidya rentals were way more popular in those days and why N64 game sales got blown out of the water by the PlayStation's.
>>733497454>>733497459
should I buy this if i've never played the remakes and red was the first game i ever played
>>733450002>>>/vp/
>nintendo bootlickers are really trying to gaslight people into buying overpriced slopno i'm not paying for roms
>This is a ripoff because uhhhh it's not on the rental serviceOh no I actually get to own it>$20 is overpricedHave you seen how expensive these games get online? >Emulate it Ok why don't you do that then? >You don't actually own a digital licenseThis is something you could easily debate with consumer affairs if they ever revoked it unless you live in an anti-consumer shithole like the US and even there I'd say you have a good chance. If not then before consumer law catches up you just might have to refrain from saying nigger in online games, not like you can in Nintendo games anyway. And again, you're complaining about this while complaining about not being able to rent it. Retarded logic. This is the same board who sucks Switch dick daily, a system where game prices almost never drop below full price, least of all Pokemon gamesThe not on NSO point baffles me more than any of them. I get being poor and/or cheap but fuck me I don't get to rent it. The only reason you'd be mad at this is if you're already paying for it I guess.All that being said I already have a physical copy of Fire Red so I might give it a miss unless they include the events.
>>733500465>Have you seen how expensive these games get online?Have you seen how expensive GBA games were on the Wii U? Nintendo is basically charging you subhumans the mentally ill tendie tax and oh god, they're already regretting not charging $40 for it since they're probably getting record high preorders. Hopefully the emerald release will fix that issue, you cultists deserve to be milked dry
>>733500156FireRed and LeafGreen were okay games that tried a bit too hard to recreate the Genwun experience despite all of the new mechanics that completely change the battling and how your squad grows stronger and which have been in most of the main series games since. Jot worth $20 for such barebones emulation that doesn't even let you link trade or battle with online friends or come with the old limited time events built into the games like Crystal Version on the 3DS Virtual Console.
>>733500465>I JUST WANNA WASTE MY MONEY, OKAY???Hurry up and call us broke third worlders, anon.
>>733473575>literal dogshittrue>nobody likeswrong, and that's the problem
>>733500657I dunno what else to say if you're complaining about $20 on a system that fucks you far harder with more overpriced nonsense like paid online, controllers, games themselves that never drop below full price and so on
Lol, so many broke people crying in this thread, if you're so broke that you can't afford to spend $20 on a video game, you have bigger priorities than gaming.
>>733500929>games themselves that never drop below full priceThat's not true at all. Got an example?
>>733450310I think $5 for each of them would have been sufficient.
>>733501069>>733500929>no examplesok
Literally the only reason this is being released is so they'll have a legal leg to stand on regarding piracy.
>>733501008I play on a $2000 PC, why the fuck do you assume that I can't afford a goddamn $20 game?The issue here is that the GBA rom is so criminally expensive that it's impossible to not even laugh at you cultistsIf a kid brought their switch to the playground and started playing that turd, they'd get laughed at because even iphone tards know about emulating GBAshit now, shit went viral a few years ago on zoomie platforms, and unlike phones the shitch isn't even portable, shit doesn't even fit inside your pocket anymoreYou'd niggers defend it if was $100 too. That's what a cultist sheep fanbase doesPic related, the average poke cultist
why brought game when I can steal for free, saar?
>$20 to lose fast forward, 386 romhacks, option to use QoL hacks, miss out on the mail glitch, still no multiplayer minigames This rerelease only appeals to niggers that don't even like pokemon. They'll buy it, play for 2 hours, claim that they are having a blast, and then move on to next product
I can play these games for free because I still have my GBA. inb4>b-but you can't play them on a tvI can actually with the gameboy player adapter for GCN. My GCN still works just fine kek.
>>733501710ok snoycubie
>>733501710>I can play these games for free>Because I already paid for them"free", huh?
>>733501827He never said anything about buying the game though. He probably owns one of those rom loader cartridges which every single respectable GBA owner should have by now
>>733502050>I can play these $20 games for free>Because I spent $60 on an Everdrive"Free", huh?
>>733451097>act like he’s above being called a retarded manchild bootlicker goycattle>admits in the same post that he’s buying both despite KNOWING they’re overpricedWhat is with you people?
>>733502184It's called an investment. That $60 everdrive also includes ruby (which you switchfags will also have to rebuy), sapphire (which you switchfags will also have to rebuy) and emerald (which you switchfags will also have to rebuy). $60 for over 2000 games is way better than $60 for 3 GBA games with missing features, that's a fact.
>>733502290They are the very definition of a bootlicker.
>>733502329I don't need to rebuy anything, I won 2 copies of every Pokemon game (mine and my brother's).I'm just calling you a fool for pretending that things you spent money on are "free".
>>733502414>won*Own
>>733450002It passes the test
>>733454761>why are they paying Gamefreak and Pokemon Company for jackshitThat's all they've ever done, reward them for bad behavior.
>>733450002Why does this piss people off so much? Just don't buy the 20 dollar rom if you don't want it. This took zero resources to make so it's not even taking away from development from another title or something, I legitimately don't give a shit about its existence.
>>733502414>I don't need to rebuy anythingYou will>I'm just calling you a fool for pretending that things you spent money on are "free".I'm sorry, but a GBA + everdrive is part of the essential kit. It's the equivalent of buying a GBA without any batteries, you're just being retarded for no reasonAs for me, I don't even own a gamecube or a GBA flashcard since by the time I learned about flashcards, the NDS was already out so I went with the R4 instead. I am not mentally ill so I've been playing GBA games on my hacked switch instead. And that, no matter how you slice it or cope, it's FREE>noooo you had to pay for the paper clip!!!!!!!!!!!!oh shit
>>733502549>company engages in another soulless cash grab>hurr why are people mad
>>733502549>but how does this affect you personally.jpg
>>733502549It makes other companies follow suitWhy is Shitendo allowed to charge $40 for 2 GBA games while the recent Megaman battle network collection which included 10 games was only allowed to do it for $50? Same shit happened with paid online, you faggots didn't bully xbox subhumans hard enough and now it's EVERYONE'S problem
>>733502661What's soulless about it? It's a little overpriced for what it is, but it's just the original rom on a modern platform. Don't buy it if you don't want it or you think it's too expensive, anyone can easily emulate it for free anyways so who gives a shit. How is that so hard to understand?
>>733502659>You willI won't.>>733502659>Moves the goalpostsYou said you could play the games "for free".If you had to purchase sonethingtonplay the games on, it wasn't free.Sorry this fact upsets you so much. Feel free to keep crying about it in your next reply.
>>733502718Yeah just ignore the examples of both cheap and expensive rom rereleases that have come and gone for the last decade, what are you even talking about? Video game companies are not looking at fucking gamefreak for trends to copy retard.
>>733502779>You said you could play the games "for free".No I didn't, I'm not the original anon>If you had to purchase sonethingtonplay the games on, it wasn't free.You bought a switch
>>733502719>original romIt's modified (less features), not original.
>>733502809What features are missing?
>>733502803>>You said you could play the games "for free".>No I didn't, I'm not the original anonSo why are you replying?>You bought a switchNo.
>>733502719>>733502719It's soulless because it's simply an established player comfortably resting on his laurels extracting money from his pay pigs one more time. Meanwhile, there are unknown video game devs who could only dream of achieving as many sales as this who have genuinely put in good ideas and hard work into their product, i.e., soul.
>>733502847>Can't change language>No gambling at game cornerThose are the two confirmed so far.
>>733502893itsnothing.jpg
>>733502927Enjoy paying more for less features I guess.
if people are willing to buy it they're gonna charge that price hell im surprised they didnt do 40
>>733502950I only play video games in the language I myself read and write, so this doesn't affect me. I don't give a fuck about playing slots to get porygon so this also doesn't affect me.
>>733502718because people actually like pokemon
>>733502782>Yeah just ignore the examples of both cheap and expensive rom rereleases that have come and gone for the last decadeYeah like the $5 GBA games that we used to have on the Wii U eshop WOOOOOOOOOOOOPSShitendo opened the scam gates with the criminally overpriced muhrio 3D collection, and now we (((suddenly))) have shit like the rayman 1 rom costing $30 and pokeshit charging 4x the established Wii U GBA rom priceCan't wait to see you pigs defend the $40 emerald release becausea) That's the original price of the game cartridgeb) It includes content from both Ruby and Sapphire, thus it costs the price of both games combinedc) Nooooooo don't bully the cancerous heckin wholesome chungus multi billionaire corporation that fucking hates you and is ruining the industryI remember when HD remasters used to be cheap and come out as a trilogy.... then nintendo had to ruin that too.
>>733502661pokemon hasnt had soul in over 10 years at this point, why are you still crying about it?
>>733503008>peoplePost disregarded. Pokesubhumans are below gachatards.
>>733450002Nintendownies cultists eating slop again?!
>no onlineFucking lmao. But since this is gen 3 getting Pokemon with good IVs was damn near impossible and most TMs were 1 use only, so making somewhat decent teams was a mess. Did FRLG even have a postgame beyond the Sevii Islands? Because those were really short.
>>733503003Then like I said, enjoy paying more for less features.
>>733503029just dont buy it, the only reason it exists is because people are willing to pay for it
>>733503029You can easily emulate these games for free and this is substantially cheaper than buying a 100+ dollar secondhand copy that has a high chance of being a shitty chinese reproduction that will break after 20 hours of use. Your argument makes no sense.
>>733503072pokemon fans are there own thing
>>733450002If Nintendo was smart they would have released this shit for free for anyone with an active subscription to their online shit
>>733503097>>733503101You niggers ARE the problem. Please die, you're ruining it for the rest of us
>>733503134>If Nintendo was smart they wouldn’t just take money from idiots
>>733503137Enjoy buying your chinese copy on ebay for 10x the price of this retard.
>>733503134>smart>make less money???
>>733503168>>733503191It's called buying goodwill
>pokefags keep enabling Shifreak's laziness and incompetenceThey're never getting a good quality game and they only have themselves to blame.
>>733503181You mean the chinese copy that costs $5 and has all of the features intact instead of the trannyfied rerelease that you are pretending that is a good deal?>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BUT IT COSTS $10000000 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Poketubers aren't even pushing back, what a battered cultist fanbase
>>733503281I can tell you're just shitposting and have never spent a dime on secondhand GBA carts, they are notorious for the save battery dying within hours of use and then you're stuck without having saves ever on cart.
>>733503223We know by know that the mentally ill tendie cultist cattle LOVES getting raped. Giving away the gba roms for free would be the complete opposite of goodwill. If Nintendo pulled off the 3DS ambassador program again, they'd get fucking spat on
>>733503337i mean anyone with any sense left a while ago so all thats left are literal cultist and kids/normal fags who dont know any better
>>733503346Post your broken secondhand GBA cart
>>733503346>Buy 5 dollar bootleg>Buy a $1 dollar watch battery with tabsproblem solvedAnd you have an extra $14 left and no missing features.
>>733503367i miss her videos...
They announced this early because the Pokemon presents will only be the side games, a Z-A DLC and a whole lot of fucking nothing.Since they had suckers buying Firered and Leafgreen for $20, they'll have RBGY for $20 each and maybe the Gen 2 games for that same price.
>>733503446You know this nigger is unhinged when he'd accept these gross ass chinese fakes that look like shit next to the actual games just to prove a point.
>>733503446OR dont spend any money and just emulate it on you computer or phone, if you want actual hardware im sure plenty of nintendo fans still have 3ds' you can put a gba rom on there. literally no reason to spend money on a gba game
>>733503519Sure, I wouldn't do it either.I just wanted to show you that a dead save battery is nothing to worry about in bootlegs.The official Fire Red carts don't use save batteries, they use FRAM, so they won't ever need replacing in your lifetime.
>>733503519Your cultist behavior is genuinely more unhinged>>733503561This has nothing to do with emulation because we already know by now that it's objectively better than this scam rerelease and you'd have to be mentally challenged to disagree
>>733473670That would be a massive improvement, though.
>>733503346>secondhand GBA carts>they are notorious for the save battery dying within hoursAlmost no GBA games use a save battery, that was phased out very quickly.The only 2 I can think of are Wario Land 4 and (some) copies of Metroid. No Pokemon games have a save battery after gen 2.
