Jesus Christ, I was not expecting those sales.
>>59254924It’s almost like of the whining online was just noise yet again
>>59254924>good games sold cheap sell millionsHow is this newsworthy?
>>59254924>I was not expecting KANTOOO nostalgia slop to sell wellYou may be retarded!
>Only 4mThis is why Game Freak only focuses on making new games these days and not remakes/upper versions
>censorshipuh?
>>592549644M in 2 months retardbro>>59254967>waaaaah why can't I name the rival faggot anymore?!!!!Basically the same filter as Home has for nicknames.
>>59254964Not that remakes don't sell worse than new regions but its not that vastly different. This is a port of a remake, not a slightly new experience like remakes are. Many people have played this game already so they may not want to replay it without any new content to entice them
>Pricing complaintsIt's only $10 more than Virtual Console RBY was.Internet is just weird.
>eurogamerSo I'm to assume there is no source.
>>59254924You deserve what you tolerate.
>>59254924What was censored?
I want every Pokemon "fan" that laps up this slop brutally beaten and publicly executed.
>>59254924Good pokecattle slurp up those 20$ roms
>>59254970Bullshit, most those sales are from people who never played the games (either because they oldfag like me and didn't see the point in remake red/blue so skipped it or are so new to the series, they dun kno what de fuck a FRLG was) and have access to Switch in some fashion. I don't doubt a lot the gentweetards didn't buy it like the povvos of /vp/, because they either had the games or could steal and play them easy. But they're a rare species on the internet these days. Especially since the rest their generation are fucking off the spergy parts as they gain families and responsibilities beyond being an internet chud.
>>59255062Amazing how you always want other people to do shit for you, instead of doing it yourself....
>not just playing FRLG roms >not just buying physical FRLG carts for cheap and actually playing on an NDS or GBA.
>>59254952>good games
>>59255063It's fucking astounding people will spend money on the most readily accessible roms that have 50 million romhack versions to play for variety. The average person must be a blithering retard unable to do anything with a computer beyond watching youtube or sending an email.
>>59255114FRLG are solid 8/10 titles for 20 USD when regular games go for 70 USD+tip+DLC+Battle Pass. If you like pokemon you would be dumb not to buy them, besides they are the best pokemon titles on the switch.
>>59255252Home compatibility + Events + playing with friends is easily worth the pricetag
>>59255114Yeah, they're good games. Make RBYG irrelevant by their mere existence.
>>59255252Most people genuinely don't have home computers anymore, not even laptops, and they despise the gamefeel of substituting buttons for a phone's touchscreen.They also consider hooking up a controller to their phone a clunky venture, and won't count that as an option to play emulated games on their phone.Thus, ports like these are incredibly appealing to them.
>>59255063>>59255112>>59255252uh oh, here come the angry spics
>>59255061They added the wordfilter that modern games have, where you're not allowed to use profanities in names.The only other changes were fixing the glitch that makes the gen 2 legendaries vanish forever and adding the event items.
>>59255319>angry spicsAre they in the thread with us? I'm mexican, living in Mexico and bought Leaf Green because I love the gen 3 games. And I like being able to BUY them instead of them being tied to NSO subscription. Why would you assume "spics" are mad at good games being available on switch?
>>59255273>Home compatibilityWhoa you can transfer the mons to a worse game, incredible>EventsWhile it's cool that they're finally unlocked without going to a real life event I can't give them credit for this. The content was already in the game, this isn't something new that they made for the rerelease. They never should have been locked to begin with. Also been available on emulators forever.>playing with friendsWho are in the same room as you. They could have at least made it online but they didn't.
>>59254924More than double the combined sales of Gen 1 and 2 on the 3DS btw
>>59255406That wouldn't be hard considering no-one's officially released VC Gen 2 sales data and VC Gen 1 only sold a collective 1.5m.
>>59254950No, it's because this fandom has absolutely no self-control whatsoever and will buy up anything with the Pokémon logo on it. The devs could just shit on a plate and people will buy it anyways
>>59254924fuck whyd you have to show me leafnow im definitely gonna buy uoooohhhh
>>59255270>Pokémon anything>8/10Bait
>>59256101That's demonstrably false, just look at all the slop spin-offs that could barely buy 3m sales while Game Freak's sold 8 figures constantly.
>>59254969>"waaaaah why can't I name the rival faggot anymore?!!!!"Yes, I do think taking an element of player choice out of a 20 year old game is bad.Also, didn't they remove the Game Corner?
>>59255062We're not talking about ZA.
>>59255319Spics are based and using desktops like the civilized modern man? Cool, good to know anon.
>>59256252Think that was just in Europe
The thing with Nintendo fans is they HAVE to buy the overpriced products to show how much of Nintendo fan you areThey probably still emulate anyway and shame others for doing it but don't want to admit it.They're the biggest hypocrites
>not just emulating FRLG on handheld PCs.
Budgets of remakes>Millions of dollarsBudgets of FRLG ports>Probably five bucks
>>59254924You'd have to be a fucking retard to think it would have sold anything less
>>59255112>buying physical FRLG carts for cheapFucking lmao, you're never going to find FRLG carts cheaper than 20 bucks.
>>59254924>CensorshipWhat? Did they make Leaf's skirt longer?
>>59258096The emulator has code to detect if you enter a bad word and just doesn't nickname the Pokemon when you hit OK.
>>59258088If someone's selling it for $20 they bought it from Aliexpress for like $3>>59256546Sure, now let's trade. Oh you don't have the same emulator I'm running.
>>59254924This>>59254960Real genwunners are on their 30s by now and don't mind the $20, they could've probably gotten away with priced it $30, because that's how bad their nostalgia is
>>59254924>a crusty-ass overpriced port sold better than Prime 4L O L
>>59255273I thought we were still waiting for the home compatability update to hit?
>>59254924>Self-reported sales numbers.Useless and fake.I sold half of quadrillion copies of my shit.
>>59254924Based. More old ports less new garbage thank you.
>>59254924This makes me happy to hear. The ports are really good plus the event tickets for beating the game are a great addition. 20 dollars is so cheap, too.
>>59256108>still in the millionsis this supposed discredit his point?
>>59254924>censorshipLemme guess, the Game Corner got retconned again?
>>59255329>Are they in the thread with us? I'm mexicanThose refried beans aren’t giving your brain the nutrition it needs to work as it should be.
>>59258568>being THIS disingenuousPity the powers that be tend to CANCEL game series that fail to sell above a certain threshold though, isn't it? Colo series? Failure so it got shelved. PMD? Failure, so it got shelved. In fact Nick, the only shite released by the franchise since that succeeded was mobileshit, because the franchise has LONG grown a poor fanbase, who could only interact with the free marketing events.But that's why Game Freak have even started to make spin offs. They need to teach the incompetents how to actually sell Pokémon games for them.
>>59254971>just accept the price increase for this 20 years old game that you could emulate for free goyimInternet is just braindead when retards like you are on it. Seriously, you're a moron.
>>59254924My theory is that all Pokémon games were actually bad, including gen 3 and 4, which is why they all got dunked on initially, but then years later you have a bunch of nostalgiafaggots who revisionist the games into being good.The battle system just isn't great and the lack of difficulty kills what little fun was still there.
>>59254924>>59254950Not being $80 helps.
>>59258661The only thing actually "bad" about pokémon games (and which has been mentioned in EVERY review of every game released since the start of Gen 2 and the post-pokémania series) is that they don't acknowledge adults, the way Nintendo games generally pitch child-friendly, but adult-investing (which is down to how Nintendo first started trying to sell their games and consoles to the mass market and how Game Freak conceptualised, designed and ultimately found success with Pokémon, which from the outset rejected recognising adults to present a coming-of-age story for kids). And even with that, there's MORE than enough adults willing to buy in and play despite the series resistance to behaving more like games for mid-20's males (3 and 4 day sales are generally all adults wanting to play day one/release weekend) despite the horrific fall-off of player turnover (series average for new Gen pairs between GBA and 3DS was 16.5m, SS and SV both outselling GS as historic #2 best-seller, despite selling far less than the DS, as more actual video game players bought a Switch, leading to more people in general being exposed to Pokémon (possibly for the first time since their childhoods). But /vp/ can't handle a reality where the sperging of 20-somethings about vidya made by devs 10 years behind industry standard from the release of their series 30 years ago and continuing to be so ultimately means little and has no bearing on the success of the thing in the eyes of the world. Almosdt as if games made chiefly for kids and keyed to turnover of child demographics resist the sway of adults attempting to crumple its performance, or shift its focus onto them as the only "legitimate" market.
>>59258661keeek
>>59254960
chat should I get this game on my switch 2?
>>59258661what if all the games are actually good and the haters are just the initial wave that gets sielenced along the way? Happened to gen 5.
>>59258661This is why only Gen I matters because only Gen I defied the status quo while Gen II onward set one. Masuda only made a niche retard's childhood by constantly remixing what his autistic superior came up with
Now imagine how much more it would have sold if it was priced better and had online functionality.
>>59256502Maybe that explains the rise in ESLs online. Americans were too busy playing with the latest toys, they forgot to ACTUALLY enjoy using them.I feel in the future they will go mad the moment you tell them "and this thing activates if you press a button> They'll be like "A button? Not by voice or clapping? What madness is that?!"
