They're charging you $20 for the exact copy paste of an old ass 32kb game from 20 years ago that you can easily play for free in any device nowadays. They're going to print several million dollars for FREE.

No it's not even a remake. Not even a remaster. No new features, no connection to HOME. Straight up the same exact fucking shit. But you must pay $20 just so you can play in a Switch instead of your old gameboy.

AND YOU VILL BE HAPPY
>>
>>58945144
It does have home support tho
>>
>>58945144
Then pirate the game.
Oh wait you’re too retarded. That’s why you’re screeching about paying.
>>
Can’t say im surprised this board is filled with kids who can’t afford $20.
>>
>>58945144
do i buy both FRLG or Let's Go Pikachu?

all three and throw in Let's Go Eevee while you're at it!!

ow the fuck is this even an issue? its a shitty port with no new features and no online support, at that point, just emulate it, its a fucking GBA game, you can emulate it on your phone and it will probably run better
for whatever reason, zoomers are fiercely anti-emulation despite it being easier than ever, the only reason it might be difficult is if you literally don't know how to navigate folders or do basic drag and drop
>>
>>58945144
$20 is like fuckin nothing, man. Why is everyone up in arms about this.
>>
>>58945718
Can I have 20 bucks?

Can I play the Wireless Adapter minigames with friends?

im cute and cane trade you the version exclusives from fire red :)

Hell yeah

its not an exact copy paste since its 42mb

For normies is way easier to just pay 20$ and play the game they want.
They see emulation as either some scary hacking thing or just an annoyance that could be easily skipped by paying the equivalent to a water bottle.
>>
>>58945172
I could, but why would I spend 20 dollars on shit I could have free? And already own? Like, I own a physical cartridge of Leafgreen. I don't need nintendo's re-releases.
>>
>>58945944
then it’s not for you and that’s okay
>>
>>58945920
16mb ROM, 26mb for the emulator.
>>
>>58945144
So what cool new features did they add to these ports, Wide screen support? any Online?
>>
>>58946004
home connectivity and we don’t know what else

FRLG are actually worth $20, none of the Switch Pokemon games are worth $10.

Dumbass genwunners and zoomers getting scammed seems based to me.

>>58945808
Dont be dumb. GBA games requires you to own a bunch of ancient consoles and games to trade up plus some fuckery to get Poke Transporter and Bank installed on the 3DS if they aren't already. VC will bypass all of that to allow direct transfers into Home.
>>
>>58946059
My place is still doing 2 mediums for $14.

>>58946059
>She’s unironically paying $20 for one box of pizza
>>
>>58945718
Think about the bigger picture.
Not about yourself being able to easily spend $20
Think about the future of the franchise
We went from BDSP -> this. Guess what is next. You oblivious kids don't know how greedy corporations can get. You will learn when you grow up.

It's 40MB on Switch 1, 2.40 MB on Switch 2.
>20 years ago
It's been almost 22 years.
>No new features, no connection to HOME.
False. It will have HOME support at some point.
>But you must pay $20 just so you can play in a Switch instead of your old gameboy.
As opposed to what? Spending $150+ for an original GBA cartridge?

I'm just gonna keep playing my GBA copies that can trade with RSE and Colosseum/XD haha :)
>>
>>58946449
2 roms of 22 year old games is better than the shitheap that is BDSP.
>>
>>58945144
Can you trade and battle against other players in any way?
>>
>>58946512
i want a shiny ditto cause in gen 3 it transforms into the shiny version of pokemon which is cool
>>58946579
yeah but only local :(
>>
>>58946579
Not online LMAO
>>
>>58946449
>We went from BDSP -> this.
$60 for an ugly piece of shit to $20 for a great classic game is a huge improvement. They would have been better off rereleasing DP for $20.
>>
>>58946599
I see
>>58946615
Not a feature of the original game even if it could've been cool
>>
>>58946449
Literally what the fuck are you talking about? If the "future of the franchise" as like this it would be an absolutely good thing. If every title on outdated software was available on the newest eshop for so little? Fuck yeah.
>>
>>58945718
Damn. I think Nintendo and TPC have a point. When you have suckers with cash like this dumb schmuck you really don't need to make good games ever again. Of course people can disagree but you gotta admit they have a point. Look at these idiots lmao
>>
>>58946744
Its like 26 minutes of work at my hourly rate to pay for this game. It's nothing. Even if it's like a full hour for you or whatever, it's still nothing.
>>
>>58946449
If they gave us Platinum on Switch for $20-30 instead of BDSP it'd have been a big improvement.
>>
The majority of the population have no intrest in emulation because setting it up is a pain in the ass and even if you know what your are doing it can still be a huge waste of time

Imagine the average normie teaching thier 10 year old how to configure retroarch just to play a single 20 year old game.

You're paying for the convenience
>>
>>58946858
>because setting it up is a pain in the ass
Only if you’re illiterate or genuinely retarded
>>
>>58946449
>future of the franchise is they stop making new bad games and just rererelease old ones
You have been crying exactly for this for years doebeitsonhoweveralbeit

HDMIcucks, our response??
>>
>>58945147
>>58946070
I don't get this argument. So what if it has Home support? How does that make the (already free 20 yo game) any more valuable?
>>
>>58945144
You're poor.
Just admit it.
>>
>>58946449
Ooouuuuhhh
Wahhhhh
The...the CORPORATION
They are SO GREEDY!!!
They don't deserve money for their labor!!!
I DESERVE MONEY FOR MY LABOR AND I DESERVE FREE THINGS JUST BECAUSE!!!!!

>>58946858
I got an emulator for old gamecube games awhile back, I think it was Dolphin. It crashed constantly and had a totally shitass frame rate. I got another for DS pokemon and it barely even ran, it was struggling to even walk around. I don't really emulate because they just work like ass.
>>
>>58945144
>AND YOU VILL BE HAPPY
So this is German?
>>
>>58946490
Do NOT print out trading cards to play with your friends. That is ILLEGAL
>>
>>58946858
Emulation for old handhelds are extremely easy to set up. I'm sorry, but this excuse just doesn't fly.
>>
>>58945144
I already have my leaf green from over 20 years ago.
>>
>>58946858
>google "gameboy advance emulator"
>download first result
>google "pokemon fire red rom"
>download first result

Its that mindless and easy. You can also download emulator apps off the playstore.
>>
>>58946858
no 10 yo today is playing FRLG or GBA RPG games for that matter. Pokemon is also extremely slow as a game and those kids have adhd

Fuck frlg

No Red/Blue? No sale.
>>
>>58945144
I literally hope and pray to the Felix fossil that the og cartridges go down in price because of these ports. I have the og carts ,but hope they do for folks who want to play the ogs on original hardware.
Or if you people care just pirate it.
>>
>>58947196
There's literally nothing else on the Switch 2
>>
>>58947198
There was red/blue on switch awhile ago.
