They STILL haven’t fixed this?
It is changed in games released later. This is an earlier game.
>>59025657I know, but they bothered to fix some bugs with the port yet never did anything with the few bits left of referencing real-life entities and locations.
>>59025670Those aren't bugs. Just things later games changed to distance it from the real world. They didn't change the battle system to resemble current one either.
>>59025670Changing any of the text in game would have required them to get it re-rated by the ESRB and PEGI. Which would then mean cutting the game corner stuff to avoid an M rating.
>>59025723FRLG were re-rated here in the west for the switch versions
>>59025726They weren't, they were grandfathered in. PEGI said they wouldn't re-rate shit that had passed prior any more but if they'd changed the thing in any fundamental way, it would need to be re-rated. And if they changed that little bit of text, they'd have to go to the arse of deleting the gamble house and try figure out how to give its poké rewards elsewhere. Too much effort for the return.
>>59025726>>59025799>wouldn't re-rate shit that had passed at a lower rating beforeIt mainly affects pokémon and the gambling halls, but as I said, PEGI grandfathered it, as long as it was the old rom in scope (so no bugfixes either).
okay, but why shouldn't we let children gamble again?
>>59025723They already changed the game code when they added the telemetry stuff.
>>59025670>Wanting censorshipScum
>>59025645Oh I thought you were talking about the garbage gym puzzle
>>59025889word filter is implemented in-rom and it still got through without a re-rate
Poliwrath's Pokédex entries in BDSP still reference the Pacific Ocean due to the script being lifted from the original games. Same with the Bell Tower using the original localized name of Tin Tower.
>>59025645This offends you?
>>59025723It was already rerated from E to E10+
>>59025811Because boomers don't understand a fucking slot machine game with no mechanism to put real money it or that pokedollars are trivial post-game to obtain aren't the same as the "games" in a casino. Then gacha came along and actually made the laws not so retarded and since most politicians are old retards there isn't any money and political will to explain the nuance to change the rating on old videogames.
