2000 yen is not $20 lol. both games are 25$ combined.

If you live in Japan and are paid in yen and shop domestically, 2000 yen is $20.

Comparing a rom to an actual disk is so blatantly disingenuous yet I see pokefags constantly bring it up
>>
>>58958954
That's a Japanese content creator, obviously they gonna defend Nintendo.
Between the entire Shinise culture and Japanese legal system being severely skewered towards corporate right to nuke everyone into oblivion, it's kind of obvious that nobody in Japan will tell shit against Nintendo.

You couldn't be more right.
>>
>>58958954
$20 would be fair for an actual port. Thats not what this is. Its literally a license to run an emulator for this one game, and it does a worse job at it than any of the emulators widely available on the market.
>>
Keep in mind, Japan actually puts effort into preventing piracy and arresting those that pirate so the "just download a rom" argument doesn't hold up as well there when it's fully possible that you might get in legal trouble to be caught with roms
>>
>>58959258
They do, haven't you seen all the posts from shills who bought a copy of FR and a copy of LG for every single language to spite the haters who said they weren't buyin' it?
>>
>>58959341
>Shills 20 bucks as perfectly reasonable
>Proceed to buy 4 more different versions of the two editions (They won't even play in full) out of spite, completely crippling their own opinion on the matter and endorsing poor coding and product habits.
Genuinely asking, what the fuck is the mindset behind spiteful purchases? Hogwarts legacy made sense, misfired protests and what not. But with Pokemon, where every complaint has validity?

It's a cultivated mindset born through decades of strategizing and strongarming from corporate entities to replace religion and singular role models with brand worship.
>>

eh
A majority of those purchases were by normies and parents who never heard of dumb internet discourse. Harry Potter is like Pokemon, it will always print money.
>>
>>58958954
it is
>>
>>58959375
The ire was aimed at the author of the source material when other targets existed that had an bigger impact on her presence/influence. Boycotting a game from which only a fraction of it would go to her while also being notably on its own was the wrong decision to do it.

The complaints about Pokemon are directly targeted at the games and the businesses that go into the port with all lacking improvements you'd expect for the average port to a modern system.
>>
Actual, legal cartridges of this game are either dried up or expensive in second hand markets.
Emulationbros are out of touch.
>>
>>58959267
This
>>
>>58959403
Oh yeah, Emulationbros are the ones out of touch.
Let's forget that they are the ones who are actively preserving decade old titles by providing an application with ease of access. (Where Nintendo is either decades behind or monetizes the shit out of it with no incentive of their own to make it better than emulation)
Let's forget that they provide multi-language support in a single application (Which Gamefreak can't be fucked to do themselves)
Let's forget that they had to constantly struggle with a legal zone in order to provide a better service at a significantly lower finanical investment. (Because they hate that emulation itself is legal while trying to lump it with the actual problem of piracy, which is the side result from their garbage service model in older entries)
Even when you generally need a physical copy of the switch game to even emulate it (Which in itself is the legal way to do play games beyond the console barrier), they would still rather sue the shit out of them.

So in general, those who are providing a better service overall and for the long are out of touch, not the company that has a history of being anything but family-friendly even slowly but surely in the pricing department?

Ok, if that is the hill you want to die on then I consider you an honorary japanese with your willingness to brush off the actual complaints.

For that same $20 I could buy a brand new game on Steam, pirate FRLG, and put all three games on my Steam Deck.
>>
>>58958954
Why the hell would I listen to Japanese Pokémon fans, they're the biggest bootlickers on the planet, even more than Disney Adults
>>
>citizens of a developed nation have no issue paying $20 for an old video game
>citizens of third world shitholes cannot justify spending $20 on an old video game, thus have spent the bulk of the last 5 days screaming about it
I would say "I'm shocked" but living in a developed country myself and similarly having no issue paying such a price for an old video game, I kinda knew other people in a similar situation to me would view this scenario as I did.
>>
>>58958954
>Japanese fans
>>
>>58959840
I added another 20$ to it and gave myself Anbernic handheld as late Christmas gift. I loaded it with ROMs and now I have FRLG and tons of other games in my pocket, emulated through superior mgba libretto core and all the functions coming with retroarch.

>h--h-home!
I could load save to my 3ds, use Pkhex to transfer my monst to SM/USUM and move them to home from there. But why? Home transfer resets movesets so there's nothing valuable to get from it.

>The complaints about Pokemon are directly targeted at the games and the businesses that go into the port with all lacking improvements you'd expect for the average port to a modern system.
They're also irrelevant to parents looking to buy their kids things or to the adults who understand the limitations of Pokémon intimately, yet choose to ignore them because the premise of the games overrides the limits. The only people they're actually relevant to are the men who got involved in the brand purely because the rest of their generation did 13+ years ago (I'd say there's a few sperg women in the 'base but not enough to be a factor) and somehow got the impression it was not only made exclusively for them, but was mandated to eternally suck them off by doing everything they needed their kiddy moncap game to do. And as reality proved, they're actually worthless as a factor to Pokémon.
>>
>>58959877
Ah yeah, there's bank in between. Is that still working? Either way who gives a shit.
>>
>>58959853
So do it. The problem isn't you're able to do that though, the problem is you don't want other people to spend their $20 how they see fit (let's be real, even at a fucking cent, you weren't buying any kind of re-release of FRLG) and spacking out over the price as a means to hide that.
>>
>>58958954
I paid $120 to have a physical copy
You should only ever pirate digital.

You're not wrong. I'm already giving them $50 annually to slowly roll out five to ten re-releases on Nintendo Classics Collection a year. If they aren't going to use it, then there's no point in paying for a premium fee. They're undermining their own established system.

Go look at the releases for every system they produced and tell me where ALL the third party games are for NSO please? I'd cut a bitch to play Trax again, especially with 4 player online, but it's third party and Nintendo don't own rights to it, so it's vaporware ebcause NSO revenue isn't shared and they don't pay for 3rd party licences. Well, Pokémon's in the same boat, Game Freak are 2nd Party to Nintendo, but 3rd party in regards to rights ownerships, as they own exclusive devrights and source codes for Pokémon games. And if Nintendo aren't paying for a mid tank multiplayer shooter for the online, why the fuck do you think they'd ever pay for Pokémon, when you and I both know they'd FAR rather a remake or paid re-release that they can profit off either by console sales (remakes) or revenue cuts (the disgusting amount of money they're going to get from the FRLG sales; revenue cuts from remake re-releases).

CHECKKKKKKKKKKED
>>
>>58959990
Most of the third party titles that were on these consoles eventually showed up in collections with multiple games for the same price. Paying for a single game that's already got a remake available on the same console is a legitimate waste of money.
>>
>>58960000
I'm not actually though. I also don't give a shit what other people do with their money, otherwise I'd likely be spacking out over people supporting wankers like rockstar or bethesda instead of you cunts crying because people buy $20 pokémon games. But again, born, raised and live in a developed country. So $20 (well, the equivalent, don't use third world currencies) will never not be anything but "not expensive for a video game" to me (NES carts cost fucking 80 or 90 quid in my country back in the 90's). Having a job and an ability to budget helps. Continue projecting, if it helps you handle life better though.

2000 yen is way less than $20 you mong.

>most of the third party games came bundled with extraneous shit because they couldn't sell any individually and make money
Cool. Pokémon doesn't have that issue, you shits proved that when retards ACTUALLY got mummy to buy them FRLG for their GBA. So we're at an impasse. Nintendo don't pay for third party and Pokémon is FAR too big to need to tart up all their games and flash a leg to attract attention for sales. So here we are, I don't get Trax and you don't get a povvo bundle of everything. I'm dealing with no Trax, you don't seem to be able to accept the world not revolving around your retarded arse though.
>>
>>58960034
Anon, this fanbase "was fucked" when kids got mummy to pay $35 for a remake of a 5 year old game, because they didn't exist when it was the new hot thing. Stop acting as if you've been part of the bleeding edge of it any time in the last 10 years.

You mean the companies that put out games with several magnitudes of higher quality in all metrics than gamefreak? What you think of them personally doesn't matter, GTA and Oblivion have more money and effort put behind them than every pokemon game put together, and thus justify their scummy practices far better than gamefreak does theres.

Projection. I won't buy a game I already own, simple as. You're the one getting mad about it.
>>
>>58958954
They can't download roms there. It's actually illegal so you have to buy older games. He is not wrong to say it's cheaper. It is. Old physical pokemon games never drop in price it always get more expensive.
>>
>>58960055
That are also buggy as all fuck on release, but strangely get ignored and dickrode. Yep, why reward incompetent fuckers, just because they do gwaffix good? Pokémon do gameplay good, but wankers would rather continue crying about long-patched bugs and their distaste for the level of graphics aimed at children. Go be a hypocritical monkey elsewhere.

Are there any big western companies worth defending anymore? Microsoft is putting Xbox and all the game studios it bought behind the shed, Ubisoft is desperately looking for a Chinese buyer, Rockstar makes 1 game a decade, CDPR has the 1000 ESG stare, and EA has been the butt of bad gaming for a long time now. I can't think of any other AAA western devs.

>>58960163
Says the guy who's been attacking me because I had the audacity to say I can spend my $20 on a better game. Every one of your comments is tinged with anger. You're even trying to be an armchair psychologist. If you were seething any more, I'd assume you were Joe himself.

Nintendo is a cult, it doesn't matter the region.
Nintendo is like a Christianity. It exists to serve, obey, fund, and support Jews despite all their scams

20 bucks each is a bit too much
If it was 20 for both, I think it'd be reasonable for someone that for some reasons wants to pay to have the games
>>
>>58960303
Yeah so can I. I don't need to virtue signal about my purchases though in an attempt to attempt to sway a demographic like you. We can all play what we want and buy what we want.. But faggot secondaries cannot comprehend people buying and playing something they don't want sold for money, regardless of price, when they feel they deserve it for free just because they exist. You're shitting yourself in anger over Pokémon selling a GBA game for $20, you already lost whatever argument you're trying to use to justify getting so angry like an autistic little shithead.

You can't guilt trip me into buying a 20 year old game just because they finally dug it out of its coffin any more than I can convince you that it's stupid to do so. You're only continuing this argument to moralize. Let it go.

voir kind are so pathetic it make me want to buy LG on switch a third time

Reminder that normal people don't spend any time justifying their purchases to random people on the internet telling them to just grab a rom.

>>58959416
I hate you faggots who talk about “we’re preserving the game”. Just be honest and say you don’t want to pay for games.
>>
>>58960478
I'm not trying to. It DOES speak volumes to your situation you think I A) give a fuck if you buy it or not and B) am trying to force you to buy it, when all I'm doing is pointing out despite you lack of desire to buy it, it's being bought and no-one involved in the brand in any shape will actually care some sperg invested in pokémon to the point of congregating on the shithole of the internet just to talk about it buys it or not.
>>
>>58960157
>That are also buggy as all fuck on release
Even launch day fallout 4 had less egregious bugs than SV and SVs bugs remain unfixed because gamefreak doesn't care once they've got your money because bootlickers like (you) will defend every anti consumer decision they make anyway
>>
>58960613
>n-no see, it am diffewent
Ah, a SHIT-EATING hypocritical monkey, even better. Buggy game equals devs should get nothing but ridicule and scorn. Monkey retards suck retard devs dick when it suits them, then cry at kid's games not playing retard dev games, so they can suck their dick too. People like you is why I stopped supporting devs like them.

You are wrong, everyone shits on Bugthesda and Rockstar got lots of criticism when they released the Trilogy edition of old GTA games.
>>
>>58960636
Uh-huh. And yet skyrim and GTAV suffered the same and broke records. Hmmm. Enjoy paying for buggy slop, isn't that what you say to pokémon fans? Well, I do because the bugs aren't as pervasive as in the offerings of the other two, even if manchildren want the world to think they're worse than everything both studios released combined into one big buglist.

FRLG is $20 and is a GBA game so its reasonable

if you never got to play the games and you are shy about emulation, then yeah i could see this being a good deal. 20 bucks for a legacy and quite easy rpg is a better price than almost any game on the market besides silksong or aethermancer.
