>>58249219>people acting like Gamefreak has any control over Nintendo's paid online>people acting like Nintendo online isn't pretty cheap compared to competitors and 20 dollars a year is too much to ask for>people acting like limited time events have never been done beforeFake outrage
>>58249249Paid online should not even be a thing in the first place you cattle-minded retard.
>>58249249>>people acting like Gamefreak has any control over Nintendo's paid onlineto be fair, they have control over what's locked behind it
>average pokemon fan slowly starts to gain self awareness
>>58249263Yeah Anon, I'm sure you were raised by a very strict and frugal household who taught you to never buy anything and enjoy yourself, ONLY spend on what's ABSOLUTELY necessary for your survival or to otherwise get higher in the business world. You MUST focus on education so you can get a part-time job as soon as possible in order to start learning how to make money. That's why you're on 4chan, right?
*looks at his copies of Splatoon and Smash**remembers his BL4 pre-order**remembers signing up to NSO when it first got charged for and not letting it lapse since*What's the issue kid? Poor? Friendless and an outcast from your family on top?
>>58249259They really don't. Anything that uses communication gets locked behind NSO. You retards are at fault thinking they'd somehow change that aspect, beyond putting the GTS into Home's app. 27m people bought the game, the lion's share of them have Online subs, it's only povvos and children crying about this.
>>58249256That's an insult to cattle.
>>58249256True.Nintendo's is still cheap though.
Nice to see contrarian bucks out in full force over this.Fortifies my view that this board and its moderators such dick.
>>58249256So where were you 20+ years ago when xbox started it and sheep tripped over themselves to pay them $60 to use it? Oh yeah. Using it the same as everyone else as mummy bought it for you as you cried for it, yeah.
>>58249310It's like $4 apparently.
>>58249298>Anything that uses communication gets locked behind NSO.i was moreso referring to the mega stones themselves, gf ostensibly could have chosen to make them available from offline gameplaythat said it's not the first time they've done this type of shit, mystery gift's been a thing for about 20 years now after all
>>58249219I'll be better off going back to ultra moon and using Greninja there. TM's were even more convenient there due to teaching without breaking.
>>58249249>deepthroating this vigorously
OF COURSE they would paywall the favorite and most anticipated XY Pokemon. Sneaky businessmen...>>58249263Didn't Arceus let you get everything as 1 player?
>>58249490I don't like paid online you spic retard, but 20 dollars a year is nothing to a first worlder so there's no point in complaining.
I don't understand. Before DLC people would say "they'll fix it in the third version." But now we pretend pre-announced DLC is out of pocket for this franchise?
>>58249640Influencers need clickbait for this week, please understand.
>>58249497>Didn't Arceus let you get everything as 1 player?You can get all the mons without needing to buy any shit or go online, but on the other hand, there’s no competitive battling and barely any online communication with friends, a total opposite to Z-A.
>>58249351It's closer to $20 a year, which is still better than $50 a year from Sony for the lowest level of PS+
>>58249219Needing online is a non problem. The bigger issue is>Want to build team around mega whatever>Oops I have to wait 2 months before the PVP event starts then I can get it >Now have to wait to just use a different mega
>>58249219I always find funny how nintendofags always reflect responsibility to Game Freak when it's Nintendo the one who pushes paid online. If GF was in charge of the pokemon franchise this game would have been a free to play service with battles passes like Fortnite a long time ago
>>58249807Free Story mode but to unlock new costumes, megas and places to explore, you need the battle passes.追加
PLA was so refreshing as a singleplayer pokemon game where you didn't need to trade or battle to see everything, it's sad to see them go back to multiplayer slop
>>58249277As opposed to what, exactly?
>>58249820>RefreshingNothing says refreshing than watching bidoof use tackle 15 times.
>>58249219Fake outrage. SV just had 2 months of raids for the shiny quartet that were only distributed if the completion goal was reached.
>>58249669Technically not true as the mythicals (Shaymin, Darkrai, and technically Manaphy and Phione) required you to buy two other games to get.
>>58250193Sure, but they don't count towards total completion, else Arceus itself would literally be locked behind needing save data from Sword or Shield and save data from Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl, meaning you can't actually complete the game's narrative until you cough up an extra 120 USD.
>>58249263I don't have to pay a subscription to continue using my link cable
>>58249317>Fortifies my view that this board and its moderators such dick>such dickGOOD MORNING SAR
>>58249336I was comfy using everything that was not an xbox and had free online while calling everyone who paid for online a retard.But retards gonna retard, retard.
>>58250458Yep. Just a one time purchase. Imagine if the cable required a quarter for every use.
>>58250593"SeRvErS aReNt GoNnA pAy FoR tHeMsElVeS"Yes but they aren't that expensive. I once had like 40 giant stacks of servers in my garage and it wasn't too much.

>>58249219Why would I want to use these Megas?
>>58249249>people acting like Gamefreak has any control over Nintendo's paid onlineThey are in control over not forcing features behind itMystery gift doesn't require NSO sub
>>58249336Xbox offered an actual functional sevice
>>58249219Who the FUCK has been paying the Switch this whole time without an online sub? How the hell is THIS the thing people are complaining about?
>>58249263Pokemon yellow was a thing, retard
>>58250994>How the hell is THIS the thing people are complaining about?Even if they're Megas, they're essentially locking an entire Pokémon behind an online paywall.>but shiny Galarian ZapdosA recolor. Still plays the same as regular Galarian Zapdos.>but Palafin and trade evosCan be done without NSO through local wireless.
A lot of japs complaining about forced ranked matches in Twitter. I think putting the mega of the most popular Pokémon of all time locked behind PvP is a bad idea.
>>58249219I think the worst part is, when the servers go down, and they will eventually, there's absolutely no way to get them in a playthrough anymore. What the fuck is this bullshit??
>>58249219It's even worse than that because they are locked to seasons. You can't get Chesnaught until nobody will be playing the game anymore
>>58249219>Lewtwo I see his tweets from time to time. I don't understand his excitement over the schedule of ZA.Who gives a shit if the game had extra time when seemingly none of that time went to areas that needed help. The animations, textures and performance of the game are still bad.
>>58251076This. Just look at how barebones gen 5 is now because of the dream world servers being down!
>>58249263Works on my machine
>>58251013>>58251801how do I get Raichu in Pokemon Yellow?
>already moving the goalposts
>already seething that his cope doesn't work
Nintendo Switch Online doesn't pay for actual game servers unless the game was directly published by Nintendo. I shipped a multiplayer game on Switch and they don't provide a single service (other than the slowest and worst word filter I've ever seen that you are forced to use). I pay the server costs, and for a while my game didn't even need NSO to go online. It was like a year after the game was out they flagged it and forced the NSO requirement for online play. Basically, someone clicks "Multiplayer", the game does a check to see if they have NSO, if true they can continue to actually play. That's literally it. It's just Nintendo getting their extra pennies from the player.
