>Emulate? You really can't afford 20 dollars for FRLG? Are you broke?How do you respond without sounding mad?
>>58943150i own physical copies that I bought when the game was originally releasedhow do YOU respond without being mad?
>>58943150Why spend money if I don’t have to
What old ass unc anime is this gif from?
>>58943164The one me and your mom watched together when we were kids.Also you must be 18 years or older to post here
>>58943150You already sound mad that I'm not paying for it and I'm not going to shout over you.
>>58943156>>58943163>>58943174So why care if it costs $20 and mald over people buying it then?>Why do you care how much it costs then
>>58943150Listen up, newfag. You think you're dropping some galaxy-brain morality bomb? Sit the fuck down while I school you on why emulation isn't just "fine," it's objectively superior in every way that actually matters, and no amount of bootlicking corpo dick is gonna change that.Gameplay?No save states = softlock because you messed up the 8th boulder strength puzzleNo fast-forward = grinding 50 Zubats takes literal real-life hours instead of 5 minutes.No rewind = that one crit you ate on the champion fight? Back to grinding.Emulation gives you save states before every important fight, turbo mode for catching goods nature legendaries without wanting to kms, rewind so you can undo a bad move without restarting the entire game. That's not cheating, that's respecting my fucking time.B But muh supporting the devs"Nintendo made billions off Pokémon. They rereleased the same Gen 1-3 games on Virtual Console, 3DS eShop, Switch Online, now they're charging $50+ for "remakes" and a copy pasted rom file. Later bitch
The game is also being emulated on Switch 2 btw
>>58943194I've been playing it on emulator for over two decades. I'm not mad about other people being foolish with their money.
>>58943150Yes and I don't want to waste 20$ bucks for something that's a Google search away.
sex with Giselle!
>>58943150Giselle > Misty Doliwhop did it better
>>58943194I don't care
>>58943150I bought a Thor for emulation. I also have a GBA with copies of GB and GBA pokemon games including a copy of Firered. Not to mention my 3DS with some of the eShop titles. I'm not buying because I have multiple ways to play it already.
>>58943150Lady, I've been playing this game FOR FREE for over.... 15 YEARS.I think paying for it is a bit redundant at this point.
>>58943263>>58943357>Mad and poor. Some Pokemon "fan" you are. Imagine complaining about the official availability of old games and still complaining about official releases.
Respond? Broke kids sounds like mumble, don’t even bother trying to talk.
>>58943487low iq cattle never cease to amaze me.
>>58943432who are you quoting?I don't care because I already own the gameIf zoomers want to buy the game via a means they can access, good for them. I bought it from gamestop, they bought it from some e-store.It's better than emulating or buying a fake
>>58943150To be fair you can't really afford the same game in the hobby when the price of the tcg is literally out of control. With current tcg prices the retro games should be a dollar on the app store lol.
>>58943194BECAUSE THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS, THE NEED TO PUT MORE EFFORT IN GAMES INSTEAD OF RELYING ON PEOPLES STUPIDITY
>>58943150>without sounding madYou already sound like a broke bitch.
>>58943194People can do whatever with their money. I know I don’t let the opinions of others influence if something is worth paying for.
>>58943194I think paying $20 for a bare minimum ROM with no added features is a stupid waste of money but spend it how you want I guess.
>>58943156>"I can't save $20 in 22 years" You pauper
>>58943194Nobody is mad, we're just making fun of you.
>>58943487I'll spend those 20 dollars on something worth the price tag.
>>58943504>I don't careAnd yet you continue to seethe on /vp/ about games that unironically don't affect you personally.
>>58943768Again, nobody is seething. They're just laughing at you for paying for a game you could emulate for free with all features intact.
>>58943776what features are missing from the switch versions pray tell?
>>58943784If you're a EUnuch, you're going to have something taken away from the game corner. You also will not ever be able to do events, something that's very easy to set up with emulation. You're paying to get cucked, just admit it.
>>58943150I just be mad and call them goycattle for not understanding I can afford overpriced things but chose not to buy them.
>>58943798They added the GS Ball Celebi event to the 3DS version of Crystal. There's nothing confirming it can't happen to FRLG's events.
>>58943150Why would i pay for what i can easily get online for free? Also i already have a physical copy of Leaf Green
>>58943268Stay on topic troon, if you want to talk about sex, make your own thread, preferably on the red boards where they belong
>>58943163Because you gotta prove your heckin' social credit score by being a big spender, Anon-san. We live in a consumerism culture, so how much money you splurge just to show how wealthy you are is the second most important variable in your life!First place goes to bowing to your Baal and Moloch-worshipping Cannibal Pedophile Overlords and recognizing that it's an honor that they haven't slaughtered a filthy, inhuman goycattle such as yourself, of course.THAT'S the underlying truth behind every single "lol what are you, poor?" remark and ragebait. These are people used to cultures where spending frivolously and needlessly is norm, even if the things you purchase are of low value or merit. And since we know the state of the vidya industry has been thoroughly manipulated by Epstein and those who closely associated with him before he faked his suicide to go play Fortnite in Israel, we know for absolute certainty that this method of ragebait and discourse is just another piece of that manipulation.
Only people complaining about the pricetag are broke faggots. Quite frankly, OP is an underage faggot.
>>58943946Again, nobody is complaining, they're just laughing at you for being a retard willing to pay for something you can emulate for free on a potato.
>>58943975Sounds like you’re complaining. “Waah why isnt this game free?” “Why should I support a franchise I supposedly love?” Sorry, but I can’t imagine being this poor over $20. The main reason people advocate for piracy is because games were unobtainable, then when you’re presented a cheap option they all come out to complain. Once again, get a job.
>>58944051Absolutely terrible bait, do better.
>>58944051Do you order every single item off of the McDonald's Menu when you eat there? You're not poor, right? You have enough income to afford one of every type of meal, side, snack and drink, right?
>>58944093>equating a $20 game to buying everything on the eshop
>>58944098>he doesn't order everything off of the McDonald's Menu to prove he's not a broke ass niggaSo you're a LARPing poorfag, got it.
>>58944107Stop responding to him, he's a tourist troll.
>>58944107>food analogytypical amerimutt response. go back to playing games on your mom's phone.
>>58944111>>58944114It's okay to be a bum cuck, poorfag.
>>58943150I have the originals on cartridge
>>58944181how you going to transfer your GBA mons to HOME though?
>>58944219Every Kantomon is already available from other Switch games.
>>58944219I also own a DS, two 3ds's, DPPt, HG, B/B2, Pokemon Bank, and Poke Transporter
>>58943150I don't own a Switch
>>58944226sounds like you can afford a $20 switch port, mr. moneybags.
>>58943150>"Sorry, I do actually have standards."
>>58944232I can, but why would I want to? I already own them.
>he can’t afford $20HAAHHAHAHAHAHAH
https://x.com/triforcezard/status/2024925122587410935?s=46
>>58943150>Why would I get a game for free when I can pay for the exact same game with less features?That’s what you sound like
>>58944363>I’m broke and autisticLittle kid needs a job, aww
I hate it when people say "emulate" when they mean pirate. They are not the same thing. If you pay the $20 and play the game on the Switch 2, you are emulating it without pirating it. If you download the game off a ROM site and play it on a GBA via a flashcart, you are pirating it without emulating it. Piracy and emulation are completely different things. Emulation is making one computer act like a different computer. Piracy is copyright infringement. Know the difference.
>>58944424Who care lil nig, you're not on twitter and you're not getting any updoots for slurping on company chode.
>>58943150The silver lining to this is now zoomers and Gen alpha will widely experience Kanto and have more ammunition to fire back at deranged Genwunners detailing how overrated the experience is.
>>58943150B-becquse I wanted to spend the 20 dollaru on these pents, 4 u :)
>>58944440I care. I'm sick of retards who barely understand the English language degrading the meaning of words. Words mean things.
>>58944458I know you're being retarded on purpose, cut the shit lil bro. You're trying to shame people on 4chan into buying something and it's not going to work. Maybe if this was $5 or something, but this is likely a rom someone else outside of the company already ripped and Nintendo is just passing it off as something they created.
Mommy said I can’t have my allowance until next week so I can’t afford $20
>>58944470>lil bro>$5You’re literally an underage kid.
>>58944472>>58944475Still not buying the game. You'll just have to stay mad. Keep this up and you may even increase a bunch more people to not buy just to spite you and your marketing attempts.
>>58944499No worries bro. I'll buy both versions on your behalf.
>>58943150>How do you respond without sounding mad?Any reply you give makes you sound like a cheap faggot.>pokemon “fan”>cant buy a cheap gameMust be sad and lonely.
>>58944499>stay madNo one is mad. No one is forcing you to buy the game. You just feel like that because you’re a broke little boy
>>58944219Already have.
>waaah gaiz stawp baying the gaem!
>>58943209>No fast-forwardThis.
>>58944550>Seething THIS much over someone emulatinglol
>>58944966Call it whatever you want because I'm still buying it, sweetheart
>>58944972Maybe if it's good enough you'll stop seething.
>>58943798>If you're a EUnuch, you're going to have something taken away from the game corner. No, actually. The games are unchanged (and not compiled into one multilang release) specifically to keep the original PEGI 7 rating in Europe.>b-but Gen 1/2 got a higher PEGI rating because GAMBLINGYes, because the originals were released before PEGI was a thing (established in April 2003, 3 months before Ruby and Sapphire were released in Europe), so they had to be rated by PEGI. All of the GBA games already have PEGI ratings, so if they release them unaltered, they can retain the original ratings even though the rating standards have changed. This is also how all the NSO Gamecube/GBA games get to keep their original age ratings.>>58943798>You also will not ever be able to do events, something that's very easy to set up with emulation.They can very, very easily enable the events like they did with Crystal, since the thing that enabled the event in Crystal was modifying the emulator and not the ROM. All they have to do is enable the mystery gift to be given by the delivery man in the second floor of the Pokemon Center and BOOM, events. They can even activate Altering Cave the same way.
>>58944983There's an entire MB file difference between the EU version and everyone else's. Cope all you want, they're removing content.
>>58944988lol
>>58944966>Seething THIS much over someone buyinglol
>>58945049>Seething THIS hard someone laughed at you seethinglol
>>58945063>Seething THIS hard someone laughed at you seethinglol
>>58943209You have valid points and if you value your time then it makes sense.It does seem odd that you say you value your time, you'll use save states before legendaries, etc. However, if you are going to streamline the game so that its quick and painless why not just gameshark your natures, get infinite master balls, perma shiny on, rare candy everything, etc?There's something to be said about doing the grind the old fashioned way I guess. Sure its tedious but its also satisfying.But you play your way, I know that when it comes to me I have little will power. If I use double speed I'll end up snowballing into gamesharking my way into making things less tedious.
>>58945068>Seething hard enough to copycatlol
>>58945074>Seething hard enough to copycatlol
>>58945080>Still seething hard enough to copycatlol
>>58944226I mean i'm sure a lot of people do. Think of all the steps you have to do though. Tedious.
>>58943150rape
>>58943209Nice chatGPT generated response fag
Bro I can spend that $20 on my vtuber waif playing this game, why should I spend it on a dogshit corporation?
>>58943150I bought the games before you were even born. I've got better things to do than play them on yet another different system, or track down my old GBA charger
>>58943150You can’t tell the difference between not being able to afford something and not thinking it’s worth your money? Financial literacy is abysmal nowadays.
>>58943150>zoomers are too technologically retarded to learn how to emulate
>>58945277Anon, have you SEEN a Chromebook? There literally is no way for them to run shit so they CAN learn emulation
>>58943150There's no point in responding to childish retards, they're not going to change their mind with reasonThey know the answer already, it's not about being able to afford $20, it's the principle of it. I could be the richest man in the universe and I still wouldn't buy these games
>>58945277I assume you're talking about younger zoomers, because older zoomers grew up with FRLG and absolutely know how to emulate games.
>>58945282Android phones exist and can easily run everything up to and including DS era games. It's as easy as downloading an emulator and a rom and running it. Hell, last time I checked, which was admittedly a while ago, there were even app store emulators. I think people are just so corpo whipped these days that they have to have the official way to play the old as fuck games or they won't play them at all.
>>58943150>how do you respond to someone sucking corporate cock"you're a corporate cocksucker"
>>58945292>they have to have the official way to play the old as fuck gamesTo me this means ‘buy a GBA and a flashcart’
>>58945308Much more expensive, unless you just don't have a phone already, but that also works.
>>58943170People born when Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension was airing are old enough to post here, and those kids probably weren't watching Pokemon until XY. Feel old yet? You probably did watch that episode with that now adult's mom when you were kids.
>>58943164>On /vp/>He doesn't know
>>58943487For some reason this "oh you're just too poor to afford $20" meme makes me think of how you'll see these hood rats living in abject poverty but they still spend all their paycheck on expensive sneakers
>>58943209>No save statesYou can save before just about every fight anyway. And if you need to save during the fight, you're bad at the game. The only time I think save states are valid are when you're trying post-game 100+ win streak BS. > No fast forwardThe most valid point.>No rewindOr you revert back to your last save and try the fight again instead of being a dirty cheater. Then again save scumming is cheating too, so unless it's the Elite Four, it's not much time loss and you probably don't need to grind.All in all though, you're absolutely right that emulation is superior and these tools should come with consoles.
>>58943150"I'm not broke, but $20 is $20."The real reason I'm not buying it is because I'm not going to play it anyway. No point in wasting money.I actually think that the rerelease is great and that they should do it more so we don't see $200+ used GBA cartridges. It makes the games more accessible for kids today, and people who want the game on actual hardware for whatever reason, even though I'm not one of them.. It's not that expensive and it's basically free money for the company that hopefully they'll put into the next game's budget.
>>58945334>that hopefully they'll put into the next game's budget
>>58945282That's your fault for using a shitty Chromebook. Run Windows or Linux if you want PC emulation.
>>58945338We can dream.
>>58945320>"oh you're just too poor to afford $20">”Looks like you’re too poor to afford $20 but you went and bought it anyway”
>>58943209So basically emulation is for plebs that suck at video games and need to cheat?
>>58943156but did you know that all GBA game cartridges will stop working in 5 to 10 years from now?
>>58945515>namefagging when there was no reason toWere you expecting Einstein behind the keyboard there?
>>58943150only the most politicsbrained chuds complain about the price. FRLG are great games
>>58945577no 20+ years old game should cost more than 10 dollars
>>58945581classic nintendo greed
>>58943170Nigga that aint no burn, that a sign you gotta schedule a prostate check.
>>58943150Same reason why I didn't bother buying most switch era pokemon games Most other companies offered me something more appealing Almost every other re-release of older games from other companies have some hook Hell even switch online games have more offered to them FRLG won't even have home support at launch kek
>>58943150It's a matter of self respect not money. It's like those scummy stores that make you pay $5 for a single bottle of water in tourist areas. Yes I can afford it, but fuck you very much.Except this isn't even water in a hot summer day after a whole day of walking, this is a decade old romhack almost nobody wanted to play until before the announcement. But go on, buy the product, let the company you love walk over you and treat like shit, then go make your weekly social media post about being depressed and not knowing why, let alone how to solve that
>>58945546Just 5 more years right?Funny, I thought I heard that one 5 years ago, how'd that work out for ya?
I already have FRLG for free
>>58943150Mewgenics is also $20 and that's going to get Game Of The Year Awards. When was the last time Pokemon got Game Of The Year, again?
>>58945285>principleAh yes. The principle of piracy and not paying for things I actually want despite it being made available for cheap.
>>58946169>your game has to be GOTY for it to be worth $20Absolutely retarded autist
>>58946202You didn't answer my question.
>>58946216No one needs to answer a shitposter
I’ve been playing Pokemon since Gen 1. I’ve owned a few copies of FRLG. I’ve emulated FRLG. I’m still buying the game. I know it’s a hard concept to wrap your head around, but consider two things:1) get a job2) not be underageReally, anyone complaining about $20 just comes off as a genuine loser.
>>58946237This whole thread is a shitpost.>"you're mad because people are buying the game!">"Well you're mad because people aren't!"Ad infinitum. You're all so fucking hateful of one another. Why give money to a company that encourages such toxic behavior? I won't.
>>58946368>encouragesThey arent encouraging though? This is the result of having faggots who want everything for free. I mean jesus christ it’s $20 and the kids still complain.
These bait threads are everywhere and I don't believe any of the posters are being genuine
Yes I own a copy.Yes I’m gonna buy it.
>>58945581why does the price suddenly matter, mr. piratefag? you had no intention of buying it at all.
>>58943150>Wow Kanto with no mega evolutions and less content?! Sign me up! The let's go games make FRLG irrelevant. Should habe been Heart Gold and Soul Silver.
>>58946415This isn't the only thing you guys argue about, this is just today's argument. You guys argue over starters, exclusives, generations, you fucking name it. All because a greedy company said, "You know what? Let's split this game in two so we can sell more copies."
>>58946444When they come out with an XD remake, I’ll buy that too.
>>58946473>fewer locations>fewer pokemon>handholding gameplay>three times the price
>>58946473Mega evos didn't exist in gen 3.
>>58946444>>58946500only real pokemon fan in this thread
>>58946482Nothing wrong with splitting it into two. It encourages trading and makes the game more sociable. You should touch grass
>>58946473>The let's go games make FRLG irrelevant.Clearly not if they’re being used as the first major announcement to celebrate the 30th anniversary kek
>>58943150>Can I see your ass?
>>58946513So would altering what encounters are available based on trainer ID. Splitting it in two is greed, plain and simple. Defending the practice shows how brainwashed you are.
>>58946549>the practiceThe practice of making the game more sociable? Sounds fun to me. Trading is what makes the game unique. Back in the day we needed cables and played with our friends! Nowadays you can just go online. Maybe you need friends to play with?
>>58946563Since you didn't read my post and responded anyway, I'll do so in kind. The original Red and Green were going to have your encounters based on your trainer ID, meaning that everyone had different monsters in their games and would require the player to trade more frequently if they wanted to complete their dex. This concept was scrapped entirely and instead turned into two different versions. They've had the ability this whole time to make the games as one version and chose not to. Greed.
>>58946578>two different versions>each have unique mons>trade with friends to complete dexWow, a sociable trading RPG.
>>58946588>one version>every copy has unique mons>trade with friends to complete dexWow, a sociable trading RPG that respects its fans.
>>58943150i'm probably not going to buy a 20 year old game for 20 dollars
>>58946608>respects its fans
>>58946635Exactly. They don't respect you and so you don't respect one another as a result. Like when you find out the school bully has abusive parents.
>>58943150I haven't bought a Pokemon game since Black
>>58946501>Let's Go has more locations, better battles, you can refight gyms, fight red, fight blue, unique way to play, dont need HM slave, can easily care for more than 6 Pokemon at once making players more likely to try newer Pokemon they find iut as opposed to older games where leveling just one Pokemon took forever, the extra island in fire red are also shit. Fire red is more or less a shitty version or Red. Wish they just translated Japanese Red Green and Blue instead.
>>58946608Why trade when every single mon is on one cartridge? Are you retarded or…
>>58946641Oh, I get it now. You don’t have friends and that’s why you’re opposed to exclusives and trading. You were also bullied as a kid. This makes so much sense.
>>58943150I have $20. But spending it on a ROM? No thanks. It's about not being an idiot with your money.
>>58946763>>58946765Ad Hominem and a lack of reading comprehension. Do you have a real argument?
>>58946787Apparently you don’t have a real argument. All you did is perpetuate the stereotype that pokemon fans complain about everything. “Waah why is the game $20 and not free?” “Waah why are there exclusive editions?” You are a literal baby.
>>58943150
>>58946798I'm not going to get any meaningful commentary from you, so I'll just turn you into a meme and take my leave.
