Why are Pokemon fans such cattle?
>>748986087the amount of seethe a franchise for children will generate on this board will never not be hilarious
>>748986087Honest to god, its just a fantastic game. Obviously emulators exist and are a superior experience, but 20 dollars for fire red and leaf green is a fine price. I think it was like 30 dollars when it came out on GBA and those were real dollars before the currency became worthless tissue paper, so this is actually cheaper. I replayed the game on my DS when I saw the buzz about this and it was a great experience, so im sure most people that bought this had a similar fun time.
>>748986087And yet we still don’t have Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald on Switch, what the fuck is Gamefreak’s problem?
Why aren't they part of the Nintendo Classics library?
>>748987231>push the four face buttons at once>game resets>lose save>no refunds
>>748986087>le old bad>le new good
>>748987575DSP? Is that you?
>>748987181>>748986087What is so special about these games? All they are is fetch quests with annoying interruptions every 5 seconds while trying to explore.
>>748986615
>>748987231Playing pokemon games without a fast forward button is psychological torture
>>748987640I push the four face buttons down once in a long run and lose all my start how the fuck does that make me DSP
>>>/vp/
>>748986087Biggest proof they're autistic. Imagine loving so much a franchise with boring repetitive gameplay made for children. However I can excuse the pornfaggots
>>748987329They are thinking of ways to milk as much money out of it as possible. I bet they are fucking kicking themselves for only asking a mere 20 dollars for that FR/LG ROM.
>>748987231FRLG are extremely ugly for a GBA title (especially with how sparse Kanto is) and the bits that they do add to RBY basically enhance the experience zilch.Honestly they're pretty bad. Emerald is solid, but FRLG only gets interesting in the Post Game that it takes way too much time to get to.
>>748986087i dropped pokemon after OR/AS and pretty much hate it now, but this is an example of just giving players what they want. i hate capcom too and some american(?) distributor had to wildly convince them that people wanted the original RE games on PC. even publishers have no idea sometimes
>>748987181/v/ is full of retards that believe turn based games are dying so it confounds them to no end that Pokemon remains popular.
As far as turn based creature collectors I feel like pokemon has been eclipsed by so many games that I cant tolerate them any longer. Just one playthrough of monster sanctuary ruined pokemon for me. Its what we all expected the franchise to become when we were kids.
>>748986087I didn’t buy these but I might get Ruby if the rumors are true. I’m sick and it would be a fun distraction.
>>748988401More like there hasn't been a Pokemon game unambiguously received well by fans since Heart Gold/Soul Silver in 2010. With MAYBE Black/White 2 (but not B/W1) being generally received well on release, in 2012.Every game since then has made at least some substantial part of the audience very angry or generally has been considered underbaked, unfinished, or otherwise poor quality.The franchise has spent more time as the butt of jokes than it did as a praised JRPG series.
>>748988841>More like there hasn't been a Pokemon game unambiguously received well by fans since Heart Gold/Soul Silver in 2010. With MAYBE Black/White 2 (but not B/W1) being generally received well on release, in 2012.XY had better reviews than both, and people were upset with ORAS getting low reviews because of water. You are a revisionist.
>>748989291XY has people complaining about how big of a hole that was meant to be filled by a Z game exists to this day.
Moo!
>>748989391He's right. I fucking hate xy but it was very well received at the time. People loved megas, the PSS, the ease of access to EV/IV, the KANTOOO, and most things about it, even outside of the blatant cut desert. It's similar to star wars episode 7 where 90% of people loved it and then 10% went "this kinda sucks actually" and as time goes on more people start to see it for what it was, rather than the marketing they initially fell for. While it's not liked as much now, it was definitely liked then.
>>748989291>reviewskek
>/v/ continuously says why buy the game when you could get it for free>ask but can you get it for free legally and morally?>cricketsEvery fucking time.
>>748989730>but it was very well received at the timeBecause there was an influx of normies from the release of GO who saw the jangling keys of Gen 1 nostalgia and they propped up the numbers. Such is why when OrAs rolled around, all of that supposed goodwill went right out the window because what the fuck is a Hoenn???
>>748988841B/W were panned because of no kanto pokemon. It was only many years after when people realized how good we had it, that they retroactively declared it a masterpiece.B/W were also released when late pokemania kids were in their "pokemon is cringe" phase.
Zoroark
>>748989391XY is the most hyped people have been for mainline pokemon games since Pokemania. You obviously were not there.
>>748987231I know games don’t have to be difficult and an easy game can be relaxing & fun but I honestly can’t play Pokemon since I’m not a kid anymore, it’s not like an old Final Fantasy game where yeah it’s easy but you’re playing for the plot not the gameplay, Pokemon doesn’t really have a plot worth talking aboutI know there’s the battle facilities but getting a perfect team in the old gen’s is just painful and even when you get one the AI just cheatsMystery dungeon is still based
>>748990067The moment the "mystery type" got revealed to be Fairy and was shown to be a massive overcorrection to Dragon, the cracks were already showing to say nothing of people seeing Mewtwo and Charizard getting two Megas each and knowing the new mechanic was going to be a "rich get richer" situation.
>>748987471Did you read op's picture?
>>748990848how much do they sell for on platforms that don't involve console restrictions
>>748990848It costs about 700-800 dollars to play a Nintendo game by the time its all said and done. Gotta buy the 499 console, the 99 dolla controller, and the games are 79 a piece physically, on top of online sub
>>748990947Xbox and PS won't even survive for long lol
>>748990848>buy super metroid on virtual console, on earlier console>it's forever trapped on that POS>doesn't transfer to switch or Switch 2
>>748989878>>748990848That gosh darn Galaxy S25 focus sucks. Don't go stealing the image, guys. Don't do it. Where's Mr. 'You don't even play', btw?
>>748989878>morallyOh no, the ones and zeros I downloaded are evil.The multi billion company that already sold this product multiple times, in millions of copies won't get an EXTRA single sale from me!Anti-pirates deserve nuclear holocaust.
>>748988624>monster sanctuarybetter than most pokeclones, but the combat system can't hold a candle to Pokémon
>>748989986Go wasn't released until three years after XY. The fuck you talking about?
>>748986087Proud to rep tha Pokemon set ong we show up cuh and we ATE no crumbs
>>7489899861. XY predates Go by 3 years2. ORAS predates Go by 2 years3. The fuck do you mean influx of normies it's POKEMON
>>748989878If I buy Pokemon Fire Red on the eshop, can I put it on my PC and mod it and make backups, so I can play it on non-approved hardware? Or is it locked down cuck shit? Like, as a moral person myself, I'll still legally buy it, but their limitations are gay and retarded. Piracy still gives me the best way of playing it.
>>748986087Anon, those games were released over 20 years ago. This is the first time they've been rereleased. Pokémon has millions of fans and many of them weren't even born when the GBA was out. Think about it for two seconds before posting.
>>748987181> a franchise for childrenTheir core audience has been millenial nostalgiafags, it hasn't been children for a very long time.
>>748991984>paying full price for a 20+ year old gameRetard
>>748990848This picture made vegans angry
>>748987329The anniversary is in November. Trust the plan.>>748987471So you can't clone legendaries by abusing cloud saves. Could have still made it a free download with an NSO sub like the Zelda DLC, but shh that wouldn't make as much money.
>>748991984Took me 30 seconds to download them on romstation for $0
>>748987729Because you also did that with your fat sausage fingers while streaming.
call me when you can trade online in these games
>>748992754GB-link already made it possible
>>748987329>>748992198How do you know they're not releasing Ruby & Sapphire on the 8th?
>>748989998No. B/W shills are basically the people who grew up with them as their first Pokemon game. Even people who started with Gen 4 were disappointed. Quantity of new original Pokemon doesn't make it good. The designs were almost all bad, the world was a boring USA knock off because the composer of the game wanted to play in the NYC opera or some shit. You literally travel in a circle, while half of it is online post game. And it got baby's first JRPG story for people who unironically think that the story was good.OH and how could we forget the insane pixelated Pokmeon sprites during the fight because they HAD TO wiggle from left to right during the whole fight for some reason. It was an absolute downgrade from Platinum and HGSS and their worlds, the only redeeming quality are it's music and pushing the DS hardware for some cool stuff. B/W are good Pokemon games. but far from the masterpiece the shills make it out to be.
>>748987329Just play it on your original hardware broski. Or if your parents hated you and sold it/gave it to your siblings or you were a dumbshit and pawned it off for some weed then sucks to suck. Go emulate it. If you were born after Dubya took office then my condolences on what you missed out on.
>>748993175I'm older than Pokemon, started with gen 1, and gen 5 is great. Cope.
>>748989878>legally Emulation is legaland morally?The fuck are you some kind of godbabby skydaddy belief boy?
>>748989878a company will do everything to immorally screw you
>>748989878consoles are objectively immoral, their very purpose is to treat their user like a retard and constrict their freedoms
If it was $20 dollars of older money I could make more sense of it. But $20 dollars today is basically $10. You can barely get fast food anymore without spending at least $15.
>>748993858Don't try to argue with the unemployed. $20 to them is like $100
>>748986087I thought Nintendo was keeping physical alive.

>>748993175Add in the shitty gimmick where you have to play on PC to even access some pokemon. I feel like people intentionally forget that "feature" because of how shitty it is.
>>748994561Pokemon isn't on NSOAnd a lot of other super iconic games too
>>748994561Here's an idea: give us DRM free games for 99 cents or cheaper.

>>748998393LMAO!
>>748998241Poketopia deserved to do well, but GameFreak's actual output is pretty grim by comparison.
>>748986087the thing that gets me about this is that they have the switch virtual console you pay $60 a month for and it includes gba games. so theyre just selling this for $20 instead of adding it to the VC library purely out of greed
>>748998771>walking sim with no gameplay deserved to do well??????

>>748986087They are literally autistic retards, please understand.
>>748986615These subhumans need to be lined up against a wall.
>>749000836We're the autists. The average switch 2 user and pokemon game buyer just sees he's been paying $80+tip a year for shitty, incomplete games (although he won't acknowledge the fact he is subconsciously aware of it), and here they're selling him a complete package (and a much better one at that) for $20. You can explain to him he can just use an emulator, but paradoxically in our society, spending ten seconds learning how to do something is seen as harder than spending an amount of money that takes the better part of an hour to make.
>>748988105I would have easily paid 60
>>749001978You guys need to stop acting like using an emulator is esoteric knowledge. Pokemon has one of the largest romhacking communities out there full of pirates, and this is not a secret because youtube is full of romhack playthroughs. If someone is buying Firered on the Switch, it's because they just want to.
>>749002973>If someone is buying Firered on the Switch, it's because they're zoomers scared of navigating file systems or tired millenialls/X'ers with kids who can't be bothered to crack open their laptopFix'd.
>>748986087I have over 1K hours in Fire Red from completing a living dex and shiny hunting, it's easily the most I've used my Switch 2 given I just plug it into my capture card setup and hunt while watching junk on my PC.Even before the hunting I got more than $20 out of it
>>748996568because they love bragging about how much they love sucking gabe's cock
>>749003201>zoomer derangement syndromeNot an argument.
>>748993056>How do you know they're not releasing Ruby & Sapphire on the 8th?Literally everyone that leak came from are unreliable or have literally no leak history.Centro(lol) says Home was datamined and nothing about R/S/E has been added (even extra data to accommodate for it later) whereas FR/LG have has shit added.The only thing you have close to evidence that the MIGHT be coming is that they have data in FRLG which could mean a release whenever they feel like it, they internally tested just to see if it works or they did future proofing so in the case that they do release it one day nothing needs to be updated on FRLG's side.
>>748987607It's Pokémon so>old bad>new worse
>>748986087When is GameFreak going to realize all they need to do is make a new Pokemon game in the same style as the GBA games with all the mechanical updates from current games in order to sell like hotcakes AND get people back on their side, all for a fraction of the cost of making a game to the standards of modern hardware?
>>748986087because fanbase consists of 90% children, 9% mentally ill adults, 1% sane members of society.
>>749003363I wasn't making it an argument. I am not the anon you replied to.
>Almost 8 months to deliver HOME support to A FUCKING GBA ROM>Celebi is a HOME gift instead of just distributing the Agate Celebi to FRLG directly so you can't even have Celebi in your FRLG>Can't move back and forth between Home and Fire Red>Can't send more than one legendary from a saveIt's amazing how incompetent of a company they are. We've had PKHeX with more and better features for over 10 fucking years and they're not the ones with source codes and company budgets
>>749001978Normalfags know all about emulators ever since they came to phones. That and the average person doesn't care about ancient games. These sales are predominantly from manchildren rebuying them all over again and Nintendo knows it, which is why they sold them separately instead of putting them up on NSO with the rest of the GBA ROMs.
>>749004059This is the same company who, when it came time to distribute Mew for the RBY VC releases, did it as an in-person event only in Europe.
>>748990848The problem was that it was too expensive for a rerelease of an old GBA game that you can easily download for free. If it cost $10 tops I would have bought it.
>>749004059>Celebi is a HOME gift instead of just distributing the Agate Celebi to FRLG directly so you can't even have Celebi in your FRLGIt's confirmed that you're going to get it thru the game's mystery gift according to the eshop and the japanese pokemon site because it mentions that we need the mystery gift option unlocked. TPCi's version of the site fucked up by confirming you get it thru HOME and also hinting that we can transfer mons back to FRLG as long as they haven't been transferred to later games
>>749003403I still believe it's happening soon because the official pokemon account uploaded HD footage of Ruby/Sapphire from the switch. The whole thing about HOME not having RSE connectivity is TPC's retarded decision to make people wait another few months.
>>748998841What's funny is that this more or less is just emulated because a lot of the glitches still work. The only things they changed were fixing the roaming legendary glitch, adding a swear filter, sv giving you event exclusive items. You can still use the box glitch to get any pokemon you want
>>749003226>Even before the hunting I got more than $20 out of it>shiny huntingYou didn't, you just lost over 1k of your life on top of $520.
>>749003534They realize, they just can't and won't do it.Older Japanese hate the west.
>>748986087Why do you care?
I finished Pokemon Unbound this week, heading into post game.
good thing I still have ol reliable
>>749004059>>Can't send more than one legendary from a save>WAHHH, THEY WON'T LET ME CLONE 8 TRILLION DEOXYS.
They could have edited Altering Cave so that it worked properly but they couldn't even do that.
>>748986087You're upset they aren't poor like you?
>>749004059>Can't send more than one legendary from a saveNon-issue since you only catch one per save
>>749008896Is that even technically true? Pokemon home can detect cloned pokemon, and it can also detect illegitimate pokemon. It can tell if a deoxys was not caught somewhere it can legitimately be found and if it was obtained at an illegitimate level. If you clone it, it can tell that too. There was even an issue where it would think your Shedinja was a clone of your Ninjask because all of their information is identical except for its species.

>>748992979And for many years we had that using VBA-Link, on XP. Apparently, according to THAT GB-link project, it was buggy and required a constant, perfectly-emulated serial connection, but you could see people play online. That ancient emulator remained the default for Battle Network tourneys until the collection.
>>749004059But modifying your current Pokemon's stats for obvious things like shininess and perfect IVs doesn't seem to work by default, especially if you want to use your TID/SIDs and the legality checker plugin refuses to generate perfect IVs. That's partially why the dev catches so many morons cheating. It's easier to ACE legal ones.>>749004472They don't even have checks for legal spreads, it's how that infamous follow-me Magmar with perfect IVs went through, albeit it wasn't through Home, it was Bank. They can't keep track of all the randomly little events done everywhere or they rather not confirm the existence of IVs/EVs in the process after all this time. Conjecture, btw.
>>749016838>modifying your current Pokemon's stats for obvious things like shininess and perfect IVs doesn't seem to work***while maintaining legality
