Nigger you can't even connect it to RSE. You know, the main fucking purpose of the sevii island quest line. You cucks are buying the worst version of a game because the switch vidya drought is that bad.

I'm enjoying beating the emerald battle frontier using some of my mons from FR run, don't know why this phenomenon triggers so many cultists

>>738686007
trading with yourself on emulators requires going through hoops, and trading it up takes even more. some people just want to plug and play. if they were charging $40+ i could see complaints making sense, but $20 should be less than an hours worth of work for any actual human

It's nice to see an old game getting a straight re-release (not a remake) and causing a significant amount of younger people to play and appreciate it.
>just emulate it bro
Yes, you or I, or anyone could easily do that in 5 seconds. But the sad truth is many people simply will not. I'm glad these people are still getting exposed to just how hard old games mog newer ones, people who might otherwise have continued ignorantly posting about "ew errrmmmm clunky jank unplayable crusty ahh uncslop!"

2004 will never be retro.
Retro is pre-2000

Wait, they've rereleased FRLG? Tell me where I can find it, I need dat authentic wireless adapter that it came packaged with

The RSE release is going to be so slanted towards Emerald. Not only does Emerald have more events programmed into it, but the one event Ruby and Sapphire have, the Eon Ticket, was e-Reader exclusive. It's technically not even on the game cartridge, it's injected into the game from the e-Reader card. Emerald however has it programmed into the game.
Considering that and how many other advantaged Emerald has, I wonder if they'll make it $5 more expensive or something just so RS aren't totally obsolete.
>>
I was thinking of getting into Pokémon in the switch until I realised you still have to buy two copies of the games for version exclusives in 2026. How fucking aids is that? I wanted to make a living Dex and that means I got to fork out a load of fucking money.

>>738685001
if any console just halved game prices for their AAA game they'd auto win the console war. playstation and xbox cant do this because they overbudget games so nintendo is just retarded.
>>
>>738685001
to be fair it's pretty easy to outsell a system's library when it has no games.
>>
>>738687140
people who have different opinions than me are stupid
>>
>>738686786
Video games changed significantly more in the 70s to 90s than they have since. The average PS2 game can be re-released and still feel contemporary.
By your logic PS5 will be retro in 20 years
>>
>>738687140
Apology declined. Do better, retard.
>>
>>738685238
Fun fact, those are "just" 6 lites, 4 normal ones and one oled.
The lite was at 200, the normal at 300, and the oled at 350 before the hike.
That's 1200+1200+350=2750 bucks on consoles alone, and 660 bucks from buying the game multiple times for 3410 bucks total.
This of course assumes full price and that the guy didn't deal hunt, but let's go for a worst case scenario.

Now with this in mind, do you want to know how many shekels do gachaniggers dump into their slop?

capcom just released megaman starforce collection which contains all versions of 3 DS games for $40
konami's castlevania collections are $20 ($25 for dominus) containing several games each

pokemon gets away with this stuff because pokefags will gladly pay for and eat slop

that said i will eat the slop too if they come out with a new PMD

Mario kart sold 675k last quarter when they discontinued that bundle. Suffice to say that people aren’t buying $80 games in droves.

Wew, shocker..
If anything it's impressive it's still shitting out over half a million copies per quarter when games never have legs that long.
That's comparable to westoid AAAslop on release week even.

The data for Southern Island and the Eon Ticket exists on the cartridge, the E-reader just lets you access it. You can get them with a save editor like PKHeX.
>>
>>738685184
I gave it a try and it's just normal pokemon games but with MMO sludge slowing them down. I don't know why people keep shilling it.
