Now you understand why Pokémon roms cost $20.

radical red is free muh nigguh

Please just go back to >>>/vp/
Watching subhumans defend this blatant cashgrab is honestly disheartening

It's Pokemon so it was always going to be a rip off.
It's just annoying for the price they fucked it up
>No online
>HOME not available at launch
>Game Corner likely deleted
>Each language is $20 DLC rather than being all included

John Pokemonshill defended Pokemon????? I need to see that Twitter screenshot.

If your retro game can run on a 10 year old cheap smartphone, it should be free
>>
>>733478134
Name a more pathetic fanbase. You can't.
>>
>>733478134
>Every other old game
>"Yeah you can use save states and rewind if you really want at this point, whatever"
>Gamefreak
>"WHAT THE FUCK WE CAN'T LET PEOPLE REWIND IN A 20 YEAR OLD GAME THAT'S CHEATING!!!!"

Even if this clearly wasn't a ploy to milk their fanbase, why is this inflated ego acceptable?
>>
>>733478134
>nintendo is selling roms!!!1!
what else would the games be? where do you think roms came from?
>>
They can just disable save states and rewind on those games.
>>
>>733478465
it can run on a mac os 9 from the 90s and it was free to download and play when it came out in the early 2000s. it can run on a psp. 3ds. everything. I can play it in my phone browser without even downloading anything with speedup and save states KEK.
>>
>>733478349
The store page actually removed all references to Home so there's still a possibility it was a fuck up and it won't be supported at all.
>>
>>733479472
That would be funny and Poketards deserve it.

BUGGUSU INU ANUSU
>>
>>733478134
I mean… back when the games were released they were 39.99 before tax (if prevalent Oregon has no tax California does) so Nintendo and Gamefreak asking half of that price is reasonable they’re still a company and it is on average a 3-9 month process to port something like that.

So hard.
I've also seen some retard say they don't bundle the different language version because that would mean multiple save files.
Pokemon fans are the biggest goy cattle in existence.

>>733479171
It might make sense if they plan to have Home support. But at the same time people in majors pkhex their teams all the time lol.

THE GAME IS 5 MBs

>>733481053
GBA games were generally around 16MB.

With inflation it's probably 20$ now.

>>733481053
With inflation it's 10 mb

How much Pokémon Company pays this retard to shill for them?
>>
>>733481291
They don't. He got caught using a pirated rom so they made him be a corpo cuck or they would destroy his livelyhood.
>>
>>733481053
Yes, and?
>>
>>733481758
And you're brown.

>>733478134
I can't believe Merricku is still shill/defending them after all these years, it's so pathetic

Why is he always talking out of his ass?

The "selling ROMs" theory is this. When NES ROMs started getting dumped and put online in the 1990s it was a bit of a process because there were actually two ROM files inside of older games like Super Mario Brothers. The iNES file format was created to "stitch" these files together to a playable ROM file (.nes) but left a digital signature. The ROMs found in Virtual Console and other "official" releases have this same digital signature meaning that at best they used the same tools that they decried as illegal and at worst were downloaded off the Internet and offered up as the "official" versions.
>>
No, I now understand why it's a standalone release (even if I still think the reasonings are a bit flimsy.)
You haven't even attempted to justify the $20 price tag.
>>
>>733480272
>39.99
Bro you got ripped off, this is from Washington State in September 2004.
>>
>>733486178
Copyright means you have RIGHTS over the COPIES of things you produce. If Nintendo downloaded a ROM of a game they originally made and offered it for sale, no foul, it's their game in the first place. And Nintendo offering it for download on their own storefront is what officiates it.
>>
Why does this nigger care, doesn't he think SwSh is the best Pokemon game and all gens 1-5 are old amd dated.
>>
>>733478134
Doesn't rewinding have little-to-no effect on RNG in most emulators?
>>
>>733478349
>each language is dlc
No fucking way, I've never seen a software where language option is a paid additional. Not even microsoft is that scummy.
>>
>>733487170
Rewinding does help in that one level in Wario Land 4 unless you have frame-perfect jumps.

That's not really the issue if you read about their stance on ROMs and emulators.

It’s a single player game Anon. Also they always had Home support like 2 months later, just have a little patience.
>>
>>733487530
It has a VS and Trade mode over link cables. Why can't they have an online version of that?
>>
Why the hell does GameFreak even give a shit about scumming these days, "Rare" Pokemon are easier than ever to get with Home and fucking Discord trade bots hacking shit for even the retarded kids too dumb to use PKHeX themselves.
>>
>>733487591
To be fair for the Switch games there's a few hoops you have to jump to get access to your save files.
>>
This guy is so dumb. His entire worldview is defending Pokémon in increasingly convoluted ways and then getting mad when he receives pushback. He's obsessed with being correct all the time.
>>
>>733487530
>pokemon is a single player game
Yep that's why there's no battling other players or trading with them and no online version of that.
>>
>>733487412
proof?
>>
>>733487265
Microsoft, no, but have you heard of Square Enix? This shows the last discounted price before they started giving it away for free, but if you do the math this means that Japanese people used to have to pay the equivalent of an extra $10, on top of the price of the game itself, just to play the game in their language.
>>
>>733486980
yeah but if they downloaded it from another site, that means they allow that site to be up so they lose rights to dmca it.
>>
>>733487737
He's a Pokemon fan.

Romsites died for this btw

not good enough

>>733487829
That's not how the DMCA, or copyright in general, works. Trademark you can lose protection for not enforcing it (see Aspirin™), but not copyright.
>>
I already understand why
Pokemon fans are retarded. They're a lot like GTA fans. They take the abuse and slop, they don't care.
>>
>>733487947
this. if you are a pokemon fan, you are also an oxygen thief
>>
>>733478349
>Each language is $20 DLC rather than being all included
This just sounds like they did the bare minimum to get the game working so rather than making one version that has language options, they just separated them out as different games
>>
>>733487829
Why do people keep spreading this shit even though it gets refuted EVERY FUCKING TIME?
