It's over.
>Giving Gamefreak and Nintendo ANOTHER go-ahead with setting bad pricing practicesNot based at all.
obviously it's selling well (it's pokemon) but I don't think being best-selling on eshop is a hard thing to dowhat the fuck else are people buying, the next best sellers are gonna be nearly decade old games like ult
>>58956963oh nooo!! now the series will become a low effort cash grab!!
>>58956963This is bad!!! gamefreak might release more....*gulp* classic pokemon games (the good ones)
>>58956963Based FRLG revitalizing the Pokemon franchise in big 2026
outrage always sells. People desperately wanting them to fail just contributes to the success. I can't open youtube without constantly being recommended videos of people complaining about it. It's straight up free advertisement.
>despite the [low price]? hwat did they meanned by this ?
>>58957008>(((? hwat did they meanned by this ?)))
>>58956970Where were you when Gamefreak and Nintendo charged $60 for BDSPiss? Where were you when Gamefreak and Nintendo charged $70 for a functional version of Pokemon Legends: Z-A?
>>58957008anon is so baffled that people think $20 is a lot that he starts typing incoherently
>>58957008good morning saar
I am a bit surprised so many people bought these when the roms are so easy to find online for free
>>58956963Just how much of this was done out of spite? I get that Pokefans can be paypiggies, but I counted at least 5 threads over the past few days, and my foray into reddit to gauge how they're getting on just lead me to see throngs upon throngs of defensive posts. Is this what people are reduced to now, just parading poor purchasing decisions with a sneering post to say "I bought the thing you hate, haha fuck you"?
I will buy it in hopes they start re-releasing the DS games
>>58957053How is it a poor purchasing decision
>>58957060It's a poor purchasing decision if you didn't want the product in the first place, and only bought it to spite a fictitious enemy who "demanded" you didn't buy it.
>>58957053>poor purchasing decisions good morning shaarholder!
Normies are afraid of pirating because they think they'll get viruses or the FBI kicking down their door. Also touch screens fucking suck for games that aren't designed around it>inb4 PCPeople like the portability.
>>58957060You typically get more for ports of old titles as they either come with QoL improvements or having support in modern game scenes like online support.Charging 40 bucks in total with absolutely no noteworthy improvements or additions (When it could have been 20 bucks for a bundle with an internal choice between the two versions like the Lego Harry Potter collection has with Year 1-4 and Year 5-7, both also coming with QoL improvements at the total price of 30 bucks) is just bad and allows them to do the absolute bare minimum while charging more in total for both versions.
>>58957082Meant for>>58957052
>>58957008>anon so outraged by the cheap price of a rerelease he has a stroke mid post
>>58957051Everyone is Indian and Trans with you guys.
>>58957084Anon, the vast majority of people aren't buying both versions.
>>58957092Almost as if it's extremely easy to spot broken jeet speak.
>>58957101Mate you need therapy for your racist paranoid psychosis
>>58956963i'm glad whites and japs are a dying breedworthless consoomersgood fucking riddance!
>>58957053Some but not many. I bet the majority that bought FRLG on switch aren't even aware of the vocal minority outrage
>>58957093I don't care about the vast majority, it's about the selling point where it accumulates easily on the coatriding of the brand rather than the merits.How do you think other devs under Nintendo feel when they port their titles with adjustments, new features to potentially accommodate the modern controls/standards to even just adding new content, only for Pokemon to do absolutely nothing of the sorts except doing dumping their 22 year old games with no changes onto the store (Without even figuring out how to add language selection to keep it to a single store page like the lazy devs gamefreak is)? If they get a pass because of their brand then others under Nintendo eventually will just follow suit because there is no point in it when it doesn't make a difference.And keep in mind, the price will 100% go up for newer ports in the future like Black and White if they don't go the remake route with them for the switch 2 or future consoles so you can bet it will be 30 to 40 bucks for exactly the same amount of effort that FRLG on the switch gets. Keep in mind, Nintendo slowly lifts the prizes up for their IPs when on the predecessor console it often costed 50% of what it is on the switch. Don't buy any game affected by this please.
>>58957053>done out of spite20$ is perfectly reasonably in a world with constant full priced demakes getting shit out each month.
What's nee in these ports?
>>58957129Are you forgetting NSO exists? Where every Nintendo title of note gets dumped on with no significant changes? They've been doing this for years, come on nigga.Fucking 80% of the Switch's library has been ports. Be happy you can finally play these games without having to emulate or pay $300 to some faggot who's probably sending you a flashcart.
>>58957145new*
>people have been demanding nintendo to rerelease old pokemon games for decades>FireRed and LeafGreen rerelease gets announced and they're currently the best selling game on the eshop>retards are surprised for some reason
Pokégoys really are subhuman scum.
>>58957084Not needing to have additional hardware like a wireless adapter or a link cable for multiplayer while also having it on a readily available unified platform instead of dicking around with community emulators for multiplayer in my eyes is absolutely a QoL change if you still play the originals today and have to both find people to play with that have the gaming hardware and their own wireless adapter, even if it's a subjective point/passive addition by simply re-releasing. Loose price GBA Wireless Adapters are almost $30 each. I own 3 of my own and a few link cables of each type (GBA to GBA, GBA to GC) and these releases make it much easier to not have to worry about that shit>just get the ROM online and emulateI could configure the port to allow network traffic and connect to a host's IP, even on a network I stand up if I meetup to play with people in a public place, but in all honesty just having the official hardware doing that part for me and participants is enough to warrant $20.>>58957069So if I get it because I want to play it with other people, it's not a poor purchasing decision, but if I make people believe I bought it because of negative responses online, it is? Sounds like a really easy way to live rent free in heads.>>58957127All of the discussion of actual purchasing at least within my realm has been fans waiting to see if they have more to add for Pokemon day with the occasional few people that are getting it as a small group so that they can battle each other and complete dexes.
>>58957150>pokemon fans are retarded and easily taken advantage of>tpci takes advantage of them>pokemon fans are retarded and fall for itwoah
>>58957147>Are you forgetting NSO exists?Excusing a bad practice for one-time purchases onward with an equally poor subscription model is not the pass for the decisions you think it is. Highlighting a console being dominated by ports as if it's a good thing isn't good when you were able to use Gamecube discs with the Wii or GBA games with the original DS, or DS games with a 3ds?It was better from a consumer perspective back then. Supporting repetitive purchases with no general improvement for the player at a repeated mark up in pricing is stupid.
>>58957129>And keep in mind, the price will 100% go up for newer ports in the future like Black and White if they don't go the remake route with them for the switch 2 or future consoles so you can bet it will be 30 to 40 bucks for exactly the same amount of effort that FRLG on the switch getsYou make it seem like it's a bad thing
>>58957172I'm not defending anything Nintendo has done, they're an extremely anti-consumer company. But my point is no developer is going to be discouraged by this now, when it's been happening for years. If that was such a deal breaker, they would have quit a long time ago.
>>58957172>Highlighting a console being dominated by ports as if it's a good thing isn't good when you were able to use Gamecube discs with the Wii or GBA games with the original DS, or DS games with a 3ds?But you can do just that, the switch 2 plays switch 1 games.
>>58957171>confused why it's doing so well>denies reality and says "everyone dumb except me"reddit mentality
>>58957188point to where I said I was confused or denied it doing well
>>58957188No you don't understand dude, he played the game on 300% speed 6 years ago on his at the time 5 year old laptop via VBA without national dex completion, link battles, or even the Elite Four rematch battles so obviously that means people 6 years later don't need to have to support an official rerelease on a unified platform that allows better local wireless connections that the originals.
wake me up when SS/HG comes out>muh 2 screensfuck it, simply make it the start menu
>>58956963>overpriced gba rom>most affordable and highest quality mainline pokemon game on switchIt's conflicting.
>>58957208>fuck it, simply make it the start menuAnd how do you propose they incorpriate the pokeathlon which is played entirely with touch controls?
>>58957208they're probably planning on remaking them desu
>>58957220switch has a touch screen...
>>58957082>Normies are afraid of piratingAre you fucking kidding me? Normies are the ones who pirate. It's the loyalist Nintendies who are buying this shit.>People like the portabilityGood thing this is playable on Steam Deck then
>>58956972>Now
>>58957259The only countries where pirating is popular among normies are brown or slavic.
>>58957084>QoL improvements you mean like all party pokemon getting XP and putting fairy types? No thanks>online supportThe only real loss. Fuck gamefreak
>>58957220>pokeathlonWhat the fuck? I played HGSS like a billion times and never heard of pokeathlon
>>58957003This, you see threads on /v/ frontpage 24/7 since the announcement. They are viral marketing masters
>>58957322It is generally advisable to do the opposite of what /v/ says
>>58957345kek
>>58957220Enforce handheld gameplay, split screen when held vertically and voila you have DS working properly
>>58957053I doubt casuals are aware. It is 20 bucks for a classic game. Perfect for casuals who have a bit of nostalgia due to the 30th anniversary.
>>58957644This. I think people really overestimated the influence online discourse has on real world actions.
>>58957846Terminally online niggas need to stop thinking they can convince millions of people to stop buying nintendo products. The internet is not a real place
>>58956963>people would rather buy good games than legendslopwhat a twist
>>58956963>$20 for a feature complete Pokemon experience with post game with charming graphics and ~200 available Pokemon>people are surprised literal thing people have begged for is selling well >"despite"
>>58957884>>58957897You don't understand bros. Spending $20 on these games will make them release more "slop" apparently. FireRed and LeafGreen were never good games according to the hate crowd
>>58956963Masuda games keep winning
>>58956963Tech illitterate xoomers/millennials won
>>58956963What do you know?Uncslop DOES sell.
>>58956963God i wish BDSP was $20 right now
>>58957222That implies ILCA is ever getting a hand on remakes despite their unrealized ambition.
>>5895831115.06m grossing $903.6m guarantees it kid.
>>58956963Did it sell better than silksong?
>>58957022The difference is BDSP is a full 3D remake. It's worth the price of admission unlike FRLG which is literally just the original ROM that is already free online. They didn't even add online support or fix the myriad issues FRLG has. They literally just copypasted a free ROM online and made you pay for it. They should have made it free for NSO subscribers at the very least, or made it part of a Switch 2 system update so you can play it offline. $20 is a ripoff for an over 20 year old pixel game, period. And I thought MGS Master Collection was overpriced.
>>58956963i mean, it was a smart decision to make them sell every language as a separate copy. they're aware retards would buy the same game many times. watch every game do the same in the future.
NOOOOO!!!! WHY IS PEOPLE USING THEIR MONEY AS THEY WANT REEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
>>58958315But they probably rather just do some more oc games instead of letting that TPC stooge Masuda tell them what to only remake.
>>58958319>BDSP being $60 is okay nowBait used to be believable
>>58958316Everything sells better than EPIsong
>>58958319BDSP is a sabotaged remake by senile leads and is indirectly used to platform some Brazilian tranny on twitter to grift and nitpick on Game Freak's shortcomings.
>>58958351It's okay relative to the ripoff that is charging $20 for a decades old GBA game with shitty graphics, shitty sound, shitty mechanics, no phys/spec split, no online, no fast forward, no multiple saves, no save states, no main story cross gen evos, no QoL whatsoever.>>58958361Still 1000x better than charging $20 for a decades old shitty GBA game, see above.
>>58958367Okay, this isn't bait. You're just retarded
>>58957912>FireRed and LeafGreen were never good games according to the hate crowdFR/LG were a huge step back from Ruby and Sapphire, which already had a lot of regressions from Gen II.Having almost none of the new mechanics until the post game was a mistake.HG/SS were proper remakes, FR/LG are and always were a shitty cash grab.
>>58957008Best selling eshop games are usually stuff on sale for a few bucks.
>>58957265good job understanding the joke
>>58958349They're signed up to Pokémon Works anon. They've already signed their professional lives away to make Pokémon crap for the foreseeable. They may as well do grunt work for Game Freak, than stooge under Masuda at TPC.If you want to save them from your boogyman, naturally.
>They put RBY on Switch Online. >infinite money>infinite seething
>>58958628Just wait until they put HeartGold and SoulSilver on Switch.People will go apeshit.
>>58958628>"Nintendo needs to let us buy these games instead of making us buy the online subscription">FireRed and Leafgreen gets announced on switch>"Why didn't nintendo put this on the online subscription? I don't want to buy these games!!">RBY gets announced for NSO>"Why don't they let us buy these games? I don't want to pay for online!!"
>>58958703$40 apiece
>>58958361BDSP was so good though, I am surprised it's not more well liked. It sold gangbusters.
>>58958751It'll be worth it
>>58958319BDSP was worth $40 max.>>58957216>FRLG without online>highest qualityNah, Legends Arceus is better. Honestly, ZA too.>>58958718Retard. The problem is $20 without online support or any other added features, not that they’re selling them at all. As they are, $10 at the most would be reasonable.
>>58958751I'm thinking $25-$30.
>>58957220switch 2 has mouse controls so it doesn’t sound too far fetched to just implement a cursor that appears when you put a joycon in the mouse mode position
>>58958786>$10 at the most would be reasonable.Only if they fix the game. I'll pay $10 for both versions in all languages with Espeon and Umbreon catchable before the E4.
>>58958751$90 Double Pack (Tip Edition)
>>58958789Nah that's too low. It would be around $30-40
>>58958789so $40
>>58958786>$10 at the most would be reasonableDoubt. People were going to still bitch about it if they charged $10. It's a no win situation every time
FRLG is $20 so they can charge $10 for RBY.
>>58957259>eam eckthe what? oh yeah that jewish pos that sold less than half of the switch 2
>>58958399Get the fuck out faggot
>>58958821It's because there's no reason to actually charge for these games. This is a Welcome Tour type situation. They could be added to NSO, they could be given to every Switch owner, it could be free with a preorder to the next game, but most of all $20 is too much.
>>58958844he's right though, these games were ugly, had terrible implementation, and existed as a cashgrab from the beginning because they rendered players unable to catch Kanto mons in gen 3
>>58958826Is there even a chance they'll rerelease RBY and GSC? I feel like it's going to be a Zelda HD port situation where nintendo just refuses to bring Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD to the switch
>>58958852Do you literally want to give them ten dollars for it?
>>58958851>brainlet noisesdiscarded
>>58958857Yep
Can anyone tell me if its known if the Aurora or Mystic tickets are in the game or are in any way downloadable? Cant find anything online about this, either confirming or denying.I want deoxys and lugia/ho-oh
>>58958886we don't know.
>>58958886no one knows yet
>>58958886At most they were saving an announcement that it would be compatible with Pokemon Home for Friday but they accidentally left it in the description. That or they found out about the mail glitch.
>>58958893>>58958891Fugggg my purchase depends on this. I will buy if it has the events, as i never got to experience them. If not ill just use a rom even though its less comfy on a PC than a switch.
>>58958901realistically within an hour of the Switch version unlocking someone will have extracted the patched rom and you should play that one if you go that route.
>>58958886I'm coping but there's a chance they're saving it for pokemon presents which they'll also announce HOME support (will be included in the update where it will also add Legends ZA connectivity)
>>58958857For crystal yes
>>58957092I remember retards here arguing that PL is Indian or Arab
GB = $10GBA = $20DS = $40 (fans will defend it saying they had to adapt the two screens)Pokewalker for $503DS = $60 (see Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon HD)
>>58956963Still did not bought it.Same with Z-A.Same with Switch 2.Unless WiWa will somehow end being actually good and have Switch 1 version, I'm done with new Pokemon games.
>>58959280>DS = $40 (fans will defend itI'll be happy to pay $40 for Heart Gold
>>58958886the VC release of Crystal gives you the GS Ball after collecting all the 16 gym badges. i'd assume they'll make the tickets obtainable ingame, or they'll be a little jewish and make them event distribution only
>>58956963>nuPokemon sucks so fucking much that these mediocre entries from over two decades ago seem like a godsend in comparison>"people" trip over themselves to consoomGrim
>>58957060You can get the same games for free in just a few clicks, with added features if you wantIf these rereleases had physical copies then $20 might be a reasonable price, but not when they're just digital roms with no changes
>>58958867>>58959254why not $20 though? it's time to buy again
>>58959290>I'll be happy to pay $40 for Heart Goldkeep up this energy in 2030 when hgss gets revealed at $40 each
>>58958821I guarantee half of the people bitching (myself included) would not be bitching nearly as much if the price were cut in half.
>>58959629HGSS at least has GTS
>>58959632youre delusional if you think any ds games nintendo would release would have wfc functionality
This fanbase is fucked lmao
>>58959643What did you expect? The only relevance FRLG have had in the last 20 years is third-worlders emulating them. Of course, when Nintendo rereleases them officially, the chimps are gonna chimp out because the discourse isn't exclusive to piracy anymore. This exact same shit happened 10 years ago when RBY came to 3DS.
RAISE THE PRICE
Kanto always sells
>>58956963Release the games for free. >We are celebrating the 30th anniversary of Pokémon, and today, February 20, you can download FRLG for free until February 27, when we will announce the future of Pokémon on the anniversary stream. Have fun!kino

Thats the point of Pokémon right, making friends, battling with Pokemon and having a good time? Imagine they added new NPCs or items in FRLG, that tease the new gen, something fun. You cant be this soulless man.

>>58960499the only changes they made to the roms were jynxs sprite in ygsc and adding celebis event in crystal
>>58960507>jynxs spriteAw shit, so the leaks about them censoring the gaming corner and doing body type A/B in FR/LG are probably correct?
>>58960516You might be retarded
>>58960516Game corner is confirmed out in Europe due to the low age rating (simulated gambling is an automatic PEGI 18 in Europe now), but it may still exist in America as "simulated gambling" is mentioned in the ESRB notes.For the gender thing, I'd expect they'll just put a trigger warning on startup like most old re-releases do now.
>>58959288time to upgrade unc, they aren't going to keep making new and good pokemon games for a 10 year old console
>>58960540>newThey sure will>goodNo Pokemon game on the Switch is good, hence why FR/LG have completely BTFO all of them in sales and they're not even out yet.

>>58960553gen 10 being exclusive is doomer copium. they wont abandon the switch 1 yet especally considering the switch 2 version of za only sold 1 mil
>>58960542Ask the poverty spergs who assumed they'd release Gen 8 on 3DS how that turned out for them. You're not going to be able to play Gen 10 otherwise, all the hacknigs already gave up trying to break it. Even the pokédataminers have all began to announce their "retirements" due to being unable to just *hack* their system for funsies.
>>58960569well be back in the sw1 swsh pre launch days where some sperg steals the pokedex book from the walmart they work at and then start crying online 3 months later when they get sued
>>58960559No, just americans. But they're in a "turkeys that voted for christmas" scenario, so they need to cry at SOMEBODY to blame.>>58960566>gen 10 being exclusive is doomer copium. they wont abandon the 3DS yetPovertytard, PLEASE stop embarrassing yourself.
>>58960566screencapped
>>58960559Considering the most played games on every platform these days are free, yes, $20 is a lot.
>>58960582and? even if im wrong youll just look like a schizo
>>58960587Considering Pokémon sells so strongly, it encourages uptake of console sales alongside it, $20 is only "a lot" to third worlders.
>>58960589better start saving your pennies for a switch 2, poorfag
>>58960605He had two years' notice and he's still crying like a poverty motherfucker. He won't be ready.
>>58958319>Using piracy argument for FRLGIt's not a good look you're making, but it's not without merit, at least as far as perceived business practices go.The roms for all the consoles are pennies in terms of their actual cost, and I couldn't see myself paying anything more than $1 for access to any one singular game when I would already have to pay a premium just to access them in the first place.It sets a terrible precedent, and they'll use FRLG as the foundation for why they start charging for games. They'll do it with the Gamecube games first because it would sound more "logical" before fluctuating the prices between the other consoles, mark my fucking words.
>>58960605>>58960614i already own one
>>58960566>He thinks gen 10 will be on switch 1 when SV was running at 10fpsdelusional
>>58960566Gen 10 will be what sells the Switch 2.They would be mad not to make it exclusive.
>>58960622GF knows that a lot of us cant afford a switch 2 and i think they're going to take advantage of the huge userbase for the switch 1 and design the game around that. No one who plays pokemon cares about framerates anyways so its no big deal
>>58960619>watching videos shitting on nick rekietaokay thats based
>>58960643Game Freak don't care if povertyanons can't afford a switch 2 because they voted for a paedophile who promised to raise their living expenses exponentially. Nintendo orders games off Game Freak to promote their systems. Nintendo have migrated to Switch 2 (MKW replacing MK8DX, no new Maario or Zelda news, as they're in the middle of devcylcles and not ready to reveal them, creating spin-offs for other IP's exclusively for the new system), which means they've since ordered Game Freak to deliver a Pokémon game for Switch 2 because release windows for Pokémon ALWAYS see a marked increase in sales of consoles alongside it, so BOTH companies are happy. >>58960602
>>58960714>>58960714they care and you'll see on friday
>>58960643At best you'll get another LZA scenario where they're making a Switch 1 edition AND a Switch 2 edition but put all the marketing chips on the Switch 2 edition as the definitive edition, but it's extremely clear Nintendo wants Pokemon to be a system seller based on the fact LZA was the only other game to get a dedicated Switch 2 bundle, they don't give a fuck if Americans are too broke to afford Switch 2s because the rest of the financed world can afford them just fine.
>>58960735The switch 2 is overpriced in Canada and Nintendo is literally the only company here releasing $100 games. Cope harder libtard
>>58960761Canada is just America's backyard anyway.Also, other companies will very soon follow Nintendo's pricing metrics due to the bar they set, and then GTA6 will raise the bar even higher when it finally happens.
>>58960723Yeah, just like they cared for povertyfuckers who couldn't afford a Switch and announced 3DS versions of Sword and Shield to-Oh wait, yeah. No they didn't. Because Nintendo didn't want them to support a dead system.
>>58960643>thinking gen 10 won't sell as console exclusive when the switch 2 is selling like crazy delusional
>>58960828switch 2 is selling almost as bad as the wiiu you moron
>>58958367>shitty graphics, shitty sound, shitty mechanics,no fast forward, no multiple saves, no save states, no main story cross gen evosYou just described BDSP.
>>58960834The switch 2 has already outsold the Wii U by 4 million units and the Wii U was on the market for 5 years
>>58960834>"selling almost as bad as the wiiu">Switch 2 outsold wii u lifetime sales in just 6 monthdelusional
>>58960834No way you fell for the grifter schtick, holy shit you're poor AND retarded lol.
>>58960559A joke made in the 90s at the end of a game called Revenge of Monkey's Island had a phrase "Never pay more than 20 bucks for a video game" and it probably still sticks in people's minds.>>58960576It wasn't even a Walmart, it was the actual printing company so they actually did have contractual agreements.
>>58960942It was ackchually the secret of monkey island (the first game), and it's still holds true. There are literally zero games in 2k26 that you should be paying more than 20 bucks for.Now that doesn't mean it's ok to pay 20 bucks for any game
>>58961248>Now that doesn't mean it's ok to pay 20 bucks for any gameSo who gets to decide that? You?
>>58961347Yes
>>58956963>despite 20 price>DESPITEwhat the fuck do you mean "despite $20" price?Some shitty Steam indie games cost 20 bucks and most of games surely more expensive like that.20 bucks for a good pokemon game is GREAT.fucking moron fucking retardim so happy to see you cry and whine and lose every time.Fucking idiot community
>>58956963Makes sense that for their big anniversary they'd go back to their most money-hungry generation
>>58961383This. Gen III sucked ass so hard it killed Pokemania. Literally the worst games in the franchise until the Switch came along and Game Freak started releasing not only lazy games, but completely fucking broken ones too that could barely hit 10fps while looking straight out of 1998.
>>58956963You knew it was going to happen. Gen Z doesn't know how to emulate and the Millenials are too lazy to emulate and want the nostalgia. It is inevitable. Another 20 million units sold.
>>58956963>despitemore like because of, 20 Dallahs is easily affordable
>>58961375pokefags usually avoid slip that isn’t 70 usd at least
Don't take this at face value, they're trying to vaguepost to get you to believe it's the best selling of all time, but it's just a current best seller in a drought. It's a very jewish tactic to drive up sales. They wouldn't be doing this if it were actually as popular as they're insinuating it is.
>>58961375lol $20 for a Pokemon is awful, I can play them for free on my Sony PSP
>>58961656>lol $20 for a Pokemon is awful, I can play them for free on my Sony PSPThanks god i'm not a poorfag boomer stuck in the 2010s
>>58961698>Im not a poorfag!Then why didn't you buy BW in 2010 anon?
>>58961704>BW out of nowhere>not even bw2 which is a better gameclassic vp-faggot
>>58961698prove you're not a poorfag and eat McDonalds everyday, lil bitch made
$20? I could get a Bacon King and Large Fry meal and have enough left over for a milkshake.
Kanto FOREVER.
>>58960834>this much of delusionStop watching grifters
>>58960723Be ready to be btfo poorfag
>>58958319>They didn't even add online support or fix the myriad issues FRLG has.FRLG doesn't have any issues, you lying idi0t.
>>58962251FRLG is the safest pokemon game, and i don't mean this in a good way.
>>58962261What does this have to do with my post about that anon lying about FRLG having "a myriad of issues"?
>>58962261FRLG are THE Pokemon game. If you're only going to ever play one, then FRLG is it.Only Pokemon games to ever get the prestigious "Player's Choice" award.
>>58962286Based and truth-pilled.Btw, I'm still waiting for that other lying anon to point out the "myriad of issues" in FRLG lol
>>58962251>>58962303No way to get Espeon or Umbreon without transferring from the fucking Gamecube, a console nobody had btwNo physical/special split which means several mons are useless and competitive is a slog in general due to a combo of weak mixed attackers and SkarmblissNo battle facilities outside of the Trainer Tower which is the worst one ever madeCrobat and Blissey pop up with "???" and don't evolve until postgame for some stupid reasonTMs have been replaced by much worse ones and level up movesets have not been improved to compensateAbilities of Kantomons are all shoehorned garbage like Poison Point on the Nidos or Lightning Rod on RhydonDark and Steel are in the game but no Dark or Steel types are catchable in Kanto which createsa balancing issues where-in Fighting is not useful and Psychic is still OP
>>58962395Pretty much all these "issues" are due to them being straight remakes of Gen I. You don't get any Gen II/III stuff until the postgame in order to keep the game playing as a near perfect remake.
>>58962395>>No way to get Espeon or Umbreon without transferring from the fucking Gamecube, a console nobody had btw>Trade Eevee to RSE, get Espeon & Umbreon>Trade back to FRLG>>No physical/special split That's a positive actually.>Dark and Steel are in the game but no Dark or Steel types are catchable in Kanto which createsa balancing issues where-in Fighting is not useful and Psychic is still OPMagnemite line
>>58962395Non of the things that you listed are "issues". All of them are conscious design decisions.
>>58962395>>58962395>thing that isn't an issue because you could trade to rse>tired, old, debunked narrative that an old game is hecking clunkerinos because of qol introduced in a later game not being present>comp doomerism from a time where the only competitive pokemon scene was smogon, a forum that at the time and today exclusively played on battle simulators>crying that entirely new content added to the game isn't as good as what came out a year later>xhe thinks rocktomb is worse than bind>crying about new content added to the remake>crying that the games are accurate to the game they're remakingFuck off zoomzoom
>>58962395Charmander literally learns metal claw right before you fight Brock
>>58962395>No battle facilities outside of the Trainer Tower which is the worst one ever madeThis is objectively NOT true, because Battle Facilities like the Battle Palace, Battle Pyramid or Crystal Battle Tower exist.
>>58962495Didn't play the game award
>>58962506You can speedrun the trainer tower with the lv 3 Electrode sonicboom
>>58962506I did tho
>>58962521>You can speedrun the trainer tower with the lv 3 Electrode sonicboomOr you can play with your favorite Pokemon like a normal sane human being.
>>58956963PokeGoys bought
>>58962531You beat it with your team once amd if you want to get BP fast you beat them with electrode or a low lv dragon rage mon.
>>58962542What are you talking about? The FRLG Trainer Tower doesn't reward Battle Points.I repeat, everyone should just play with their favorite Pokemon.Btw, what you said about the Level 3 Electrode with Sonic Boom strategy, I assume the same strategy also works for Emerald's Trainer Hill?
>>58962395>no mega evolutions>doesn't work as a drink holder>fails to answer the question of "what happens to life after death"
>>58962506That's literally you, idiot
>>58957003>outrageJust very vocal minorities. Any real fan would buy this game again. As an owner of a physical GBA copy and having played it on my PC as well, I would gladly buy this masterpiece to play on my Switch.
>>58962525>>58962579The battle frontier isn't in frlg. It wasn't in any game until emerald came out a year later
>>58962603He was saying those battle facilities are worse than FRLG's trainer tower, not that they were in the game.
You can usually tell someone's age by their opinion on Gen 3.
>>58962611Retard alert
>>58962616Why do zoomers hate frlg so much? Do they not have $20?
Do you think gamefreak will announce online and the events for damage control on the 27th?
>>58962637They don't
>>58962649what damage control retard? it's selling like crazy
>>58962649>damage control>best selling gameJust because you're broke doesn't mean everyone else is.
>>58962637Most zoomers are NEETs that live with their parents and doomscroll on r/antiwork instead of getting a job, that's why F2P shit is so popular now.
>>58962649They're going to announce it's the best selling games they've ever released on the Switch.
>>58962656Prove it
>>58962598>As an owner of a physical GBA copy and having played it on my PC as well, I would gladly buy this masterpiece to play on my Switch.Based
>>58962649why would they do that when people already bought it anyway?
>thanks to this boost, FRLG became the first ever Pokemon remake to outsold a core Pokemon game(bw)how does that make you feel anon?
>>58962616You can tell someone's skin color by the way they're reacting to the $20 price
>>58962701They need to re-release hgss
>>58962725This. Now THAT would be worth $20.
>>58962705Trve nvkeDouble points if they start using the word "brokie"Brownoids who live paycheck to paycheck because they spent all their money on shoes and clothes shouldn't be judging people on not wanting to waste $20 on lazy ports
>>58962740FRLG and HGSS are both amazing Pokemon games. They are both worth the 20 bucks easily.
>>58962740Your delusional if you think they'll be below $40 each, with no wfc or local trading
>>58962705Considering this board is filled with crakkkers, I can just picture some lanklet whiteboy with glasses and acne crying.
>>58962767>this board is filled with crakkkersThis is the only board on this site filled with self hating cucks that will bitch and moan of you don't agree transwomen are real women
>>58962763>no wfcCan't we just use unofficial servers?
>>58962794You can't use them if the emulator doesn't support online, which it's not gonna do
>>58956963I bought ultra moonI bought let's go eeveeI bought shieldI bought the shield dlcI bought shining PearlI bought legends arceusI bought violetI bought swordI bought scarletI bought brilliant diamondI bought the sword DLCI bought the scarlet DLCI bought legends zaI bought the Legends za dlcI bought fire red and leaf greenBeing a modern pokemon fan is like being at an all you can eat gourmet buffet. The only people who think pokemon has gone down hill are retards that haven't played since 2007
>>58963568Holy shit, I knew Pokemon fans were retarded but I didn't know they were this retarded
>>58963594you're a retard that hasn't played a pokemon game since 2007
>>58963568Based
>>58964091I buy some of them, but not every single fucking one. Especially not Sword and Shield, retard.
>>58956963Reminder that it's Nintendo and TPC that count and publically announce these numbers. It's all fake, a thinly veiled hype campaign.
>>58964099>no guys they're lying to their investors you have to believe meTell me your retarded without telling me you're retarded
>>58964107>uses both your and you're with the same meaningI think only one of us is retarded here, and it's not me bud.
>>58964113>words words words wordsGet a better meme libtard
>>58964140>"libtard"Did you forgot what year it is? No one unironically says that anymore.
>>58964148>shitlib crying over the lingo I useFuck off libtard
>>58956963After thinking about it for a bit, I realized it actually doesn’t matter at all. If they refuse to release a physical collection of old games, I can just keep emulating them on my modded switch. The prices will keep increasing but that doesn’t mean much when the new games aren’t worth playing
>>58964160
>>58964107I mean, that would not be the first or last corporation hiding numbers from investors. Also this is not an obligatory, quarterly report, you braindead moron.
>>58964166Also, >>58964113 and >>58964148 are not me, just some other faggot squeezing himself into discussion.
>>58964165I'm less retarded thoughbiet
>>58964173Who do you think you are? You're impersonating me, dumbass.
>>58964183Ladies, ladies, let's settle down.
>>58964189What the hell is this video?
>>58964213Can't you see? It's charizard in fortnite!
>>58964189>kantoslopNo one would buy it
>>58964234>>kantoslopEveryone will buy it. It's kanto.
>>58964238No one likes kanto. It's become the green hill zone of Pokemon
>>58964242And I don't either. But the general public only recognises kanto. So that's who they appeal to.If Pokemon x Fortnite ever happens (god forbid), we'll only get kantoslop,
>>58964246>assumes the general public plays fortniteSorry to say this, but it isn't 2018 anymore.
>>58964246If it came out right now it would be a kalosgem collab. If it came out in 8 months it would be gen 10. The only other thing it would be is ash, Brock and misty
>>58964262>kalosgemI must be in heaven. Where were you all in 2013?
>>58962395>No way to get Espeon or Umbreon without transferring from the fucking Gamecube, a console nobody had btwYeah the lack of a day/night cycle sucks. Would have been nice to have. On the other hand there's no need for a battery so nothing ever breaks, unlike berry farming in Hoenn. Also fuck Eeveefags holy shit they should have never added new evos after gen 1.>No physical/special split which means several mons are useless and competitive is a slog in general due to a combo of weak mixed attackers and SkarmblissGood. Slapping STAB noves on everything and spamming those is boring as hell. Gen 3 OU is still the best and most interesting meta to this day btw.>No battle facilities outside of the Trainer Tower which is the worst one ever madeThis is unfortunate yeah. Every game should have a full Battle Frontier in the postgame. Surely the idea was already in their heads at that point since Emerald came out shortly after.>Crobat and Blissey pop up with "???" and don't evolve until postgame for some stupid reasonI would have preferred if they just didn't try to evolve at all. Locking them to postgame is fine.>TMs have been replaced by much worse ones and level up movesets have not been improved to compensateAgreed>Abilities of Kantomons are all shoehorned garbage like Poison Point on the Nidos or Lightning Rod on RhydonAbilities were shit in general in gen 3. Should've been better in Hoenn too.>Dark and Steel are in the game but no Dark or Steel types are catchable in Kanto which createsa balancing issues where-in Fighting is not useful and Psychic is still OPMagnemite is catchable but yeah a Dark tupe would have been nice, but not by shoving in Johto mons. They could have added it to Arbok for example. Or Fearow.
>>58964341What a bunch of words. Too bad I'm not reading them.
i hope they sell the other games as well at full price with no online functionpoketards deserve to be milked.also next mainline game should be 100 bucks
>>58964367You're a monster, but I agree.
>>58964367>also next mainline game should be 100 buckswith day 1 dlc already happening
>>58956963I'm not even not buying it because of the price. I'm not buying it because romhacks exist that fix their retarded decisions like forcing a max friendship Golbat to try to evolve at every single level and fail because you're not allowed to have national dex pokemon without it, locking trading with RSE behind the postgame, and giving you no way to evolve Umbreon and Espeon in game at all. I got my fill of the originals as a kid and I'm not going back for replays without the many QoL improvements romhacks give. Literally don't have time for that shit now.
>>58964552i would pay good money for a physical rerelease but not for a fucking rom
>>58958367You say this because i referenced the troon did ya?Predictable
>>58958755." said only Masuda
>>58960834
are you able to get Deoxys in this release
>>58962395 >can't obtain westkantoslop
>>58964189Is that real???
>>58962395>the fucking Gamecube, a console nobody had btwYou and your family are poor.
>>58962554Probably but it's very easy to get the lv 3 electrode in FRLG and that trade isn't available in RSE.
>>58964844>says the sperg who's family could only afford to give her a gamecube for christmas while the world bought PS2'sI didn't have a GC either, because none of my mates owned one, they had the better console of the generation. It's amazing povvos trot out the poor accusation, when even poors I knew had PS2's.
>>58964966PS2 was the console for poors it was trivial to chip it and pirated games were dirt cheap.
>>58964984Good job I didn't do that, isn't it? Yeah in case you missed it vidya piracy's RAMPANT even to this day. Doesn't mean I participated (I like supporting devs I appreciate). Stealing movies and music was my thing. The people involved in making it all got paid, the release is so investors can make their money back off the project and I don't give a fuck about faceless slush funds to fund everything. Ditto music, band got a stipend for recording it and make their actual money off merch and tours (which I support rather than the corpo pushing out the recordings). Like I said, how poor were you that your parents couldn't even buy you an xbox?
>>58959720Pokemon company cannot be kino
>>58956963the best selling games on the eshop mean nothing. Lots of games like Mario Tennis and Galaxy ports underperformed despite being best sellers. If you have no competition you're gonna be the best seller.
>>58962395Bite/Crunch can keep psychic types in check since they're now dark type moves.
>>58965013I had an Xbox, poorfags had playstation. This is also why PS is way more popular with hispanics and blacks, Nintendo and Xbox are more popular with whites, Nintendo with the nerds and Xbox with jocks who only played Halo, Gears of War, FIFA and Madden
>>58965322Lmao how are you going to damage psychic types with Dark type moves when they usually have a massive sp def? You should probably use shadow ball with a high Atk mon.
>>58965337you can two shot sabrina's kadabra with bite on a sp. atk mon.
>>58965321Anon, simpletons actually claimed L:A wouldn't sell because it was releasing in January. Have you not learned that even if you don't want to buy a Pokémon release, other people WILL buy it. I'm not saying this has sold 8 figures already, but I DO know there's quite a few kids who don't know what a FRLG is, teens who may know of it and adults who sat as kids playing it (and even some like me who thought GBA era was far too kiddy to buy into, but still knew FRLG existed). And Switch sold 155m units, that's a LOT of potential buyers to buy a re-release of a GBA game for Pokémon day.
>>58965330Nah. Again, povvos like to think because their system was unpopular, it was harder to hack (mates had a hacked xbox as well as PS2, dunno why you think it was JUST the PS2. Again, every fucking game released up to Switch can be stolen and bootleg-ran. That includes the other lesser boxes along with market leader they were more likely to be hacked, as people had fewer people to trade legit game coipies with, the way I loaned my mates PS2 discs and they did similar for me.). Just proving how povvo you were back then, jesus. go way, I don't want to catch it by proxy.
>>58965378K, sorry you were poor as a child I guess.
>>58965450Wasn't a child when it launched, but keep assuming it was other people who were povvo, not you.
>>58965465Sure you weren't, poorfag. I was a prep and chavs like you always LOVE to project their poverty and low social class onto others.
>"i-i wuzen't poors"But you admitted it by owning a povertyconsole. It's cute you think you weren't but you're outright yelling it here.
>>58965576PC is the poverty console. That's why only third worlders play on it
>PC's>Povertybait>in the early 2000'slmfao. Spoken like a proper zoomie on top, gets better and better.
>>58965673I'm nta. I jumped in because you're acting like a retard so I pointed out PC are the biggest poorfags in gaming and their Pearl clutching is the only reason frlg is "controversial"
>>58965686Yeah, sure. You ignore 26 years ago, PC's were still expensive as fuck compared to today where they give kids shit that runs doom in its sleep for schoolwork. So per the early '00's, when PS2 and Gamecube and Xbox, PC's were decidedly NOT the poverty option, because a console was FAR fucking cheaper than buying a desktop. Which is the era that was being discussed in the chain before you decided in your zoomer intelligence to butt in half-baked. Lurk moar faggot.
>>58965825Everyone had at least a couple of PCs/laptops in the 2000s anon, where the fuck did you grow up? And even the shittiest laptop could run Age of Empires, Doom, Unreal Tournament, etc. on top of the NES, SNES, Genesis emulators.
lol people actually paid for them, that's crazy
>>58964832Yes, Masuda told me.
>>58966095Did masuda tell you he's keeping ohmori in his sex dungeon
>>58966266Nah that's gay and masuda is straight. If masuda was gay the masuda method would only work with same sex pokemon
>>58965857I'm not talking about your childhood anon. UI'm talking back in 2000, when PC's were expensive, internet was dial-up and games were still being sold in street markets, than being ripped off the internet to play, not at the end of the decade when Jobbie showed his drones a rectangle and they clapped.
