>you have to buy both versions and a whole nother Gameboy if you want to complete the gamePeople talk about the game industry's greed today like it's something recent, and it is not
bad bait
>can't have a novel gimmick like being encouraged to meet up with other Pokemon players in order to fill out a completely optional Pokedex anymore because retards will just accuse you of greedI'd unironically make 10 versions of the same generation just to fuck with the crybabies who felt like they needed to buy them all.
>>750222265It's funny because back then consoles actually encouraged you to actually make friends IRL
>>750222107You can beat the champion and watch the credits with only one version. Sorry your OCD prevents you from accepting that as completion.
>>750222521>consoles actually encouraged you to actually make friends IRLI miss having friends.
>Aight, we fixed some bugs, added a speed mode and a few new special attacks>Buy the entire whole-ass game all over again>Five times
>>750222937I didn't buy shit. the arcade place did it for me.
>>750222107Story time:>dev want to add random gen to the game so each play-through is unique and you can never know what mons you will have available this time>even already made a neat random seed generator>management say no: making QA ensure that all possible seeds generate something vaguely winnable by an 8yo would take way too long>dev come back with new proposal: only 10 possible worldgens, manually designed to ensure both an interesting and winnable experience>management say can't do: cartridge is already so packed to hell and beyond they had to drop entire parts of the planned mons index - can't afford to store 10 copies of all the spawn tables>dev jokingly propose to just have 10 different cartridges, gachapon-style on which worldgen you get>production say cartridge factory will kill them if they put orders splitted that much>marketing say gachapon on an entire cartridge might be too ballsy, but it might pass if the customer can just choose>management ask if the cartridge factory will pull a tantrum over splitting the cartridge order into 2 batches into of 10>OK is given>world gen variation is gutted to only a few mons>world gen seed is re-used for trainer ID>Red/Green happenNow you know.
The Mew glitch lets you catch all Pokemon in the game in one save file. So you can be as antisocial as you want.
>>750222893Why dont you have friends anymore anon? Even I have a couple
>>750222107people in the 90s had these things called "friends." It was a different time
>>750222107
Yeah I just bought Red so I could get the exclusives, and also have a save file I could replay over and over again so I wouldn't have to delete my main save. I bought Yellow and then a weird pirated copy of Silver.
