Literally collecting data about which pokemon are liked to organise Gen 11's dexcut
>>58978805shit, guess I can't name my MC nigga and a bunch of other fun shit for the team
>>58978805Nintendies really paid 20 bucks for spyware lmaoooo
>Gamefreak spying on me and learning I like Snorlax
>>58978805This is probably to ban people who try to use ACE. Especially since you can't get Treecko in FRLG without trading.
they know i use goldeen this is 1964 or something
>>58978805This is perfectly normal and a lot of single player games do the same .
ready?
>>58979020Cattle
>ACE? RNG manipulation? bypassing the profanity filter? sorry anon but we're going to have to take this up with mr. tajiri>no use denying it anon, we have all the evidence. come quietly now, unless you want to end up like poor old mr. merriku...What do?
>>58978805>GF actually looking into what mons player use the most to determine which should or shouldn’t get dexcuthonestly pretty based on their part
Remember anon, GF is looking at what part of the game you spend the most time in. If you don’t go in the battle tower in your official copy of frlg on switch, that mean you actively support them cutting battle facilities from gen 10 :)
i hate the antichrist
>anon discover basic game telemetry
>>58979172I'm gonna wait for Emerald, get to the Battle Frontier as fast as possible, and spend all my time there. I'll do anything to get battle facilities back, even if it's just another Tower.
>>58978805I hope this is real and wish Switch faggots get this along with even more dystopian features raping them endlessly bundled with every piece of software to come hahaha
>>58978805This is a good thing, it's time to get that dewgong train going.
>>58979253Switch is very well know for how much telemetry they collect from the device and how they use that to ban people.
This is obviously just the recap feature from the original FRLG, calm the fuck down
you are now obligated to catch a tentacool and raise it to level 100
I knew Elden Ring and other games did this but they tell you about it from the start of the game and you can turn it off iirc. Like a lot of games ask if you’d like to send data and you can just say “no”, can you say no for FRLG? Besides going offline, I mean.
>>58979300Read the eula before starting your switch the first time anon
>>58979321The law states they gotta do this for every individual title though
>>58979333What law?
>>58979342The ECPA.
>>58978805We told you to not CHEAT in pokemon clover
>>58979358>Enraged Cocksucker Protection Act
>>58979358That law cover people's communications you absolute cocksucker faggot, not telemetry from a videogame
>>58979394Ok but we used to send encrypted messages with Pokemon nicknames. That’s communications.
>>58979409What a faggot lmao
>>58979282Yet somehow, being well-aware of this and other anti-consumer practices not to mention the joy-con drift>they bought this garbage en masse to the point of it outselling the DS>proclaimed it the best Nintendo console for some reason>called every release a masterpiece despite later always admitting they suckedJust what was in these vaccines???
Alright guys let's all make boxes full of level 100 Dewgong so it becomes a shillmon
>>58979547What are talking about fucking schizo Did you forget to take your meds today?
>>58979565I just don't understand hating freedom that much. Do people want all of their tech to work against them and be faulty?
>>58979598Yes. I want everything to be bad so I'll never run out of things to complain about. Complaining is my raison d'être.
>>58979621You picked the correct franchise for that for sure then
>>58978805Well I guess you better use all your favorite obscure bros so Gamefreak gets some data proving someone actually uses them in runs!
>>58979710>obscure bros>in fucking KantoI think your brain might be obscured
>>58979759Seel & Dewgong are probably the most forgotten Gen 1 mons.
>>58979773So forgotten everyone mentions them every 5 seconds
>>58978805THAT'S IT, I'M GETTING A REFUND!
>>58978805Why would it be bad that they know how and when people use certain pokemon in a playthrough?Is that not valuable data for figuring out pokemon distribution, exp groups and what-not for future games?Perhaps im being too charitable.
>>58979773Oh I should put them on my team. Is there anywhere you can get Dive Balls in FRLG?
>>58979868>Is there anywhere you can get Dive Balls in FRLG?No, and Dive balls only work UNDER water in Gen III, so they're useless anyway.
>>58979020>This is perfectly normal and a lot of single player games do the same .>>58979194>>anon discover basic game telemetry
>>58979885I found where to get Net Balls relatively early so I guess I'll use those for novelty.
>>58979409Funny that you talk about nicknames when the game has an entire Mail feature
Can't this be avoided by turning your console's Wifi OFF?
>>58978805literally 1984
>>58978805How does this affect you?
>>58979885>Dive balls only work UNDER water in Gen IIIWhy are you lying? They work perfectly fine above water, they just have a 1x catch rate instead of the 3.5x rate they get underwater. You also can't naturally get them in FRLG at all, you'll have to trade for them from RSE.
>>58978805Gamefreak coming to permaban me from all their online services for naming a random Diglett I catch “Niglett”
>>58980005Dude, you're a fucking genius. There is surely no way the data just gets stored for later and sent out next time you're connected.
>>58980037>they just have a 1x catch rate instead of the 3.5x rate they get underwater.That means they DON'T WORK you fucking retard.
>>58979105>Make a successful Game Freak game that isn't Pokemon, and we'll talk
>>58980063There is a non-zero chance of someone in the UK getting arrested for this one day
>>58980104Are you retarded? If they didn't work they'd have a catch rate of 0x. 1x means they work, you just don't get the bonuses associated, like any other special Pokeball if you use it out of its ideal conditions.
>>58979253talkin like valve isn't guilty of this too kek
>>58980078Idk, I was just asking an innocent question. But also, I don't really use the WiFi of my console often. I okay offline with Airplane mode ON 99% of the time.
>>58980211The point was how dogshit the Switch is compared to older Nintendo hardware, not to Steam.
>He used the master ball on a wild Tentacool? Ban him.
>catch a pokemon>name it wife>only use it for the entire playthrough to practice monogamyofficiate my wedding, gamefreak
>>58980291>Pokemon are our partners, not our spouses. You are banned for life, your Home subscription has been canceled, we are deleting your access to Bank and Poke Transporter and taking back the Pokeball-colored Magearna we issued you.Also no refunds.
Where's the list of censored names?None of the dataminer faggots seem to have published it.
>>58978805Someone should do one for the team and see what will happen> modded switch> inject an impossible mon like Treeko in there> local trade to the main accountThis should be easy to detect if this was true
>>58979172it already got cut from frlg
>>58980816?
>>58980249b-but professor oak told me to do it!!
>>58980880>Good, he followed orders. Execute the next phase.
>>58978805If Gamefreak's sending data on my FRLG playthrough to Nintendo, surely I can send my FRLG pokemons to Home?
>>58981059Yes, you can. That was part of the presentation.You just can't send them back once you do. It's a one-way trip.
>>58978805Not defending this, but literally every video game that can connect to the internet has been doing this for the last 20 years. Did you just now realize this?
>>58980211Why even bring up valve on /vp/ though? Id get if this were /v/ and people were making some consolewar faggotry argument but theres no reason to even bring them up here.
Adding 6 Snorlaxes tomy team so he gets even more merch
>>58981532Not the OP, but seeing the actual code might hit harder for most people than a vague awareness of being watched. Especially when it's in a game not known for being connected to the internet all the time. Something just feels slimy about it.
>implying they're not going to use this for HOME achievements
There's literally nothing wrong with it?
safe to save edit on a hacked switch that doesn't connect to ninty and local trade to legit copy on another switch?
>>58982207Not like they can tell. I don't think they ever banned people who exploited the menu glitch on BDSP or ran trade bots.
>>58982224I was wondering if they went as far as read the save data of the switch your trading but that's probably too farBut I guess trading myself a Celebi is no go
>>58978805>2026 >retards still spew MUH TELEMETRY BADyeah bro they're definitely going to sell the data of your leaf green nuzlocke to data brokers so that the pikachu you named pissass shows up when you google your own name
>>58982276Frog being boiled slowly
>>58979773No such thing as a forgotten gen 1 mon.We will always win
>>58978805If we're being realistic, this data will probably be used for something like deciding which plushies to prioritize stocking at the Pokemon Center or which Pokemon to prioritize including in the next game without them having to be transferred in.
>>58980242>wii u and 3ds had telemetry>nobody knew until the Nintendo store app came out last year and showed your Playtime on those systems>unless you had a modded wii u/3ds which disabled telemetry Go back to /v/ PC tourist
>>58982313Doesn't apply here because every game since 2006 has had telemetry. How do you think Xbox live, playstation and steam achievements work dumbass? if you disable all Microsoft telemetry on windows 10/11 using one of those scripts techlets like to shill achievements and playtime tracking on Xbox app games also get blocked
>>58982313frogs do actually get out of a pot once the temperature reaches uncomfortable levels, regardless of how slowly it increased before that pointit's pretty easy to tell the difference between being harmed and not, actually
>>58982371Just go older than DS and Wii bro
anyone inject an emerald rom in the emulator and try trading between frlg/rse?
>>58982425Slapping telemetry onto a legacy title that never had it is uncomfortable enough for me, but you're free to enjoy sitting there longer if the temperature is right
>>58982422>Microsoft and Sony all of a suddenthe fuck
Wait isn't this an implementation of the gray flashback feature FRLG have whenever you turn the game back on.
>>58978805>gamefreak will see which mons I want to fuck>they'll assume it's a normal team because they're all just cute monsters anyways
>>58982488that's why you give them provocative nicknames
>>58982362They'll probably just put out charts that games like mass effect used to put out. You know... X number of players chose the male pro-tag, Y is the most chosen starter. Based on the info in op it could include*These pokemon were the most used to become champion*How many hours across all players have spent playing the game*Average number of times someone has entered the hall of fame*% of players who completed the pokedexThey could also include things like number of shinies encountered or eggs hatched.
>>58982437>has to go back over 20 years for a relevant example(You) lost>>58982480>all of a suddenFuck off snoy
>>58982495>These pokemon were the most used to become championThat sounds funny as fuck and honestly it would be funnier to get people to use a certain Pokemon that no one would ever use for their first HoF clear, like Poliwhirl or something
Confirmed:RNG Manip (no starter yet)Tickets in post gameMail glitch dupingFast clone pokemonLimited ACE
>>58978805The Year is 2026. Pokemon's 30th anniversary year is a filler.
>>58978805The Game Freak employee watching me use my Earthquake TM on my lv. 44 Graveler.
>>58982495I hope they like fish Pokemon because I'm entering the league with fish.
>>58978805Uh, Nintendo tracks all the progress you do in the games, that's how the Nintendo coins are gotten
>>58982534>RNG ManipRNG manipulating will be so ass in rse since the batteries don't die.
>>58982514GBA games still hold up, going back 20 years is fine
>>58982534Any changes to Trainer Tower?
If it collects what pokemon get nicknamed a certain name the most we should all agree on a mon and name it like "asianRiceDic" or whatever Obviously check what metrics it send back to Nintendo and if ẁe can use any input Char nameStarter nickname Any mon nickname Box name?We could probably rustle their greedy jimmies. (If you've already made the mistake of buying it.) I'm sure a hacked switch could probably find the address to flood these metric databases with stuff to mess with them
>>58978805Bros Nintendo knows what I named my weedle in my leaf green nuzlocke...
>>58982495They will for sure be dong this but we need to see the full scope of what's being collected. They'll post x graphics like CHARIZARD #1 OVER 1 MILLION POKEMON MASTERS CHOSE charmander as their first partner pokemon!!
>>58982624>successfully flagged for far-right dog whistle usage
>>58982495Probably that too. There's a lot of stuff this data could be used for but literally all of it is beneficial to US.
>>58982645Depends if they filter out speedrunners. If they put out charts and squirtle is the main chosen starter and the average completion time is less then 4 hours we'll know for sure.I'd say the same for gender but werster is world record holder and he chose the girl player even though it takes more frames to choose, but hey, maybe that time is made up somewhere else I don't keep up with the speedrunning meta.
>>58982624F O R M E R L Y C H U C K ' S
>>58982693>literally all of it is beneficial to USHow does the united states benefit from this trumptard?
>>58982362This, really. If data collection returns that some Pokemon are grossly popular, it just makes more sense to stock merch of those Pokemon. They'll have a higher chance of selling.It also serves to help Gamefreak in determining weak points in their design. Like say 60% of players spent an hour and a half in the Rocket Hideout, while 40% spent four hours, then they may want to look at why those 40% were lagging behind so bad.
>>58978805Ha ha ha, DAMN! All the more reason to continue playing on 3DS! I bet if it catches you playing an injected romhack it'll ban you from playing online forever!>>58981532>Nintendo Network is gone >E-shop is gone>Did not agree to the EULA or attach a NNID
>>58983066Yeah I think it is made up but they will use statistical magic to obfuscate any weird results. I can imagine werster might want to go for an official record. Hell new stratagies may be found, old ones lost. Be cool to see Nintendo validate a world's fastest run. They could use a gift like eshop cash for promotions. Plus with all the telemetry they can sniff out major cheats. No major glitches style.
>>58978823Gen 11 won't have a dexcut. Dexit is ending.
>>58978805If you don't have anything to hide you won't have a problem with this.
This isn't new, and calling it spyware is a stretch, it's just basic statistics that every developer wants to know from their players
>>58978805I'm guessing it's for better understanding their playerbase, but don't most games that do this shit have an option to opt-in? Wonder if SwSh and SV do similar things.Also, funny how everything they put effort into with this port was in service if making the game WORSE lmfao
>>58984138>>58984091Well, there and answer to my second question. Still seems a bit scummy to me, but at least it's not out and out evil like most socisl media/internet slop.
>>58984147You have to ask yourself what kinds of data Gamefreak could collect through this process. Your age/birth date/ethnicity/credit card details? No.Your active team, Hall of Fame entries, badges collected, quantity and type of Pokemon caught? Yeah.It's not really that much different from games on Steam that have achievements after beating each chapter in a game. It lets the devs know the statistics of the playerbase in relation to elements of the game. The only difference is in Steam achievements users can see these stats too.
>>58978805They could have used that to add achievements but nooo got to see what the players are doing instead
Literally every game has this. How do you think they know how many enemies are killed or hours are played when companies do those big statistics dumps
>>58982539topkek
>>58982495>*These pokemon were the most used to become champion>Kadabra, Haunter, Golbat
>>58978805ITT retards are learning that games and programs connect to internet. It's been a thing for past 15+ years. Only difference now is that consumers are treated like cattle, and it's hip now to hoard and profile all data about everyone for jews.
>>58984971oh fuck the jews are going to know i picked charmander and caught a pidgey on route 1 FUCK
>>58978805Instead of collecting face scans and identifying information, they're collecting the pokémon I use. I mean yeah, it's spyware, but who actually cares? Most inconsequential breach of privacy
>>58979900It is. Some games even have it rradily available and use that information as part of the gameplay, like "check what most players spend this in-game day for"Just because you are behind the times doesn't mean it's not true, grandpa
Hi /vp/, for a qol frlg hackrom should I go for FRLG+ or Ultraviolet?
>>58985025>EAT SHIT WITH US OR YOU'RE HECKIN BEHIND THE TIMES CHUDNo, nigger.
>>58978805Is this to stop modded switch users injecting unavalible pokemon?
>>58985330No. The game works just fine on a hacked switch. The point of telemetry is that the end user isn't supposed to know about it and getting a giant fuck you pop up if the offline single player game can't phone home would be the opposite
>>58985080>>58985374It's going to be so funny if people attempt to inject romhacks and get banned from online.
>>58985545Anyone that's Injecting ROM hacks is already on an offline emunand, usually behind at least 2 layers of telemetry blocking
>>58978805They do this and name censorship but they couldn't even be bothered to include a language select? That'll be 20 dollery doos for a barely changed GBA rom pls.
>>58984033souce?
>>58982604Can someone answer this please?
>>58986360Why would there be
>>58986490The Japanese versions of Trainer Tower had only 4 floors, while International versions of Trainer Tower have 8 floors.
>>58985025Just because they do it doesn't mean it's acceptable. People should have started boycotting games when they started adding paid DLC and microtransactions yet here we are in the gacha AI hero shooter battle pass era of games where we get impressed when a company doesn't do something straight up evil.
>>58979862>Perhaps im being too goycattle.yes
