I keep seeing people saying "ughh I wont buy z-a!" or "why would you ever pay for SV it runs like shit?!" but ITS FUCKING FREE!!You can go, right now, download Ryubing (a new fork of Ryujinx), then google for NSPs (basically roms but for switch games), and play BOTH OF THEM FOR FREE!!No need to pay for the game, no need to even pay for the DLCs (which should be free updates anyways btw), you can literally, open your computer, and play an entire fucking region, an entire new experience, art, FOR FREE, as it should be.You can also do this with the old games of course, I've been doing this since I was like 9 years old, I've beaten every game from gens 1 to 9, all emulated, ITS FUN!I see so many people coping about the new gens being shit WITHOUT EVEN PLAYING THEM!!! and then when you ask them "why the fuck didnt you play it to form your own opinions instead of just basing what you think off of culture war grifters?!" they go "im not paying (amount) of dollars for that shit bruh!"ITS FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEYOU DONT HAVE TO FUCKING PAY!!!!!!!!!!!!EMULATE IT, NOW!!!!!!!This specially pisses me off with Z-A, the cast of characters are literally the most well written characters in the entire fucking franchise. every single character in that game matters, they all connect to each other, its fucking fun, the battles are fun, its a game focused on fucking battling the most fun aspect of pokemon is battling its literally unlimited fun for like 20 hours, and the DLC (which is underwhelming and should have included more battling and less grinding) IS FREE AS WELL!!!! the quests are so fun and cool/cute, some are even very challenging, did you fucking know Z-A has it's own Elite 4? you don't because you didn't play the fucking game to get to that niche sidequestBUT YOU CAN PLAY IT FOR FREE, DO IT!!!! PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU, IM KNEELING ON THE FLOOR DOGEZA STYLE, PIRATE EVERY SINGLE POKEMON GAME, THE NEW ONES ARE FUN, PIRACY IS GOOD BECAUSE CAPITALISM SUCKS, OK? thank you<3
TETO CAPTURED! With a normal pokeball no less!
Piracy in the age of enshitification and subscriptions for content than can be taken down is justified whether moralfags and bootlickers like it or notAlso where you pirate need to be gatekept because there will always be a fucktard blabbering about it on TikTok.
>>59296885Teto, go back to play "edgy rival" with your friend Miku.

I don't know I just google it and click the first link that isn't obviously shady lol
based thread
>>59296885Amerimutts are unironically scared of pirating, that's why.
>>59296885>It's free*!>*If you own a $1500+ PC LOL
>>59297446I went 3 birthdays as a kid without getting a gift so my mom would buy me a proper gaming pc why did you not do the same
>>59297447>Why aren't you a child that gets pampered by mommyYou must be 18 or older to post here
>>59297452I am 22 I got this PC 4 years ago on the last birthday I ever got a gift on
>>59297454>I got this PC when I was a childCase in point yeah
>>59297458I'm asking you why did you not make your priority as a child getting a gaming PC? It's the most important object you can have in your life, it allows you literally infinite access to all art, movies, games, books, music, all in high quality FOR FREE, that should have been your main goal as a child, if you have a gaming pc you can literally do anything
>>59297461Anon I'm 34 years oldI DO have a gaming PC because I'm an adult man with a decent job but surely you understand that there's many people who are in a situation to buy or get gifted a 1500 dollar machine in these timesWhich is why they prefer buying/getting a 300 dollar console with a 60 dollar game and then whine about the price It's very disingenuous to say "it's free" when the prerequisite is saving up for something really expensive first
>>59297464*who are NOT in the situation
>>59297464>there's many people who are not in a situation to buy or get gifted a 1500 dollar machine in these timesI know! I wasn't either thats why I decided to go 3 birthdays without a gift so that I could be gifted a gaming pc on my 18th birthday, saving the money from the gifts i didnt get because I rationalized literally no other object on earth is more valuable than a gaming pc since it gives you literally anything you could possibly ever want in any other gift>Which is why they prefer buying/getting a 300 dollar console with a 60 dollar game and then whine about the price very bad idea long term, never buy stuff that requires you to buy more stuff laterHowever, of course, if a person is in an actually awful situation (like struggling to buy food) its completely understandable, what im saying is, if a person had the money to buy a switch, they are retarded for not saving up that money instead to buy a gaming pc that can run EVERY switch game for free and a trillion things more
>>59297468The thing is that people, especially zoomers like you and also alphatards, would prefer buying a $1000 phone rather than a PC with the same price or more. PC gamers are a dying race (especially with how GPU prices are fucking horrendous thanks to bitcoin bullshit a few years back and now AI bullshit)Most zoomers I know don't even own a desktop PC, they usually just have an old ass laptop or something and use their phone for most stuffHow many people your age do you know that also have a gaming PC? I'm curious
>>59296915NTA but also adding to this: what TikTok ZoomZoom is gonna be on 4chan???If they are, they're certainly not gonna be on /vp/, they're probably on /vg/ or /vt/ for general dipshittery, or /d/ or /trash/ beating their schmeats.
>>59296885What will you do when Winds/Waves comes out?
>>59297491>what TikTok ZoomZoom is gonna be on 4chan???4chan is fucking normieland these days.>>59296915>art should literally never be limited to only those who can afford itYeah, but we should still appreciate the artists with our patronage if we enjoy their work. Which leads me to...>>59296885>ughh I wont buy z-a>why would you ever pay for SV it runs like shitThat's the point OP. It's shit. We wouldn't pay for it. Fuck, I don't even want to PIRATE it, it's that offensive to me. I just want to forget it exists.
>>59297519Who is "we"?
>>59297488No one asked boomertard glowie.
>>59297663Lol why are you so mad
>>59297488All my friends own gaming PCs, which was one of the reasons why I had to focus on getting one myself so I wouldnt be left out, sure normalfags dont have gaming PCs but this isn't supposed to be a normalfag website right? I guess it has been one though since covid happened>>59297514Switch 2 emulator will be out by then>>59297519You are being childish, pirate it before parroting opinions you heard from grifters, so many of you people are just completely mindless drones like this, you see a chud on social media getting a thousand likes and you go "omg its bad!" without even having played it, Its fun and I'm telling you its fun and I completed the pokedex in both games for free playing on release, its literally a complete non-issue, you should reward indie artists with your money yes, if you can that is because theres no issue in just pirating indie art, but a fucking rich company does not deserve your money even if they make the best game ever, always pirateThe only actual bad thing about SV is the artstyle, I can say this with full confidence as a person that has been playing pokemon since HGSS releasedThe only bad thing about Z-A is... nothing, sure the tutorial is boring but you can just mash A through it and then the game is pretty much open, its a fucking amazing game, go play it, again ITS FREE!!!! form your own fucking opinions dude try it for yourself and see if you like it stop going "its bad because people said sooo!" instead of being an independent human being and experiencing things yourself firsthand
>>59296885I paid for every single switch mainline game and I enjoyed all of them c:
>>59298760You're a disappointment not only for being a tripfag but for being a woman supporting the same capitalism that oppresses you
>>59298767>internet communist thinks a 4chan tripfag is a womanSmartest commie
>>59298770Go back to twitter to be a chud far away from my porn imageboard
>>59296885I'm still not interested in playing any generation above 7, because what do you mean they just straight up deleted some mons from the games? The new additions will never replace what they took away from us
>>59298783Just use the new pokemon, yes it sucks that they did that but purely in a competitive pokemon sense which you clearly arent talking about, part of the fun of the singleplayer experience is trying out new pokemon every time you play, do you always use the same fucking pokemon every time you replay the older games or what? that's disgusting, I for one have started just rushing till I get to Misty whenever I replay Kanto because I already used every single pokemon in the earlier routes while playing, I don't want to use a Golbat again I already used it in Pokemon Red and in Heart Goldyou couldn't even fucking transfer pokemon from older games till you beat the main story anyways, I never got this autism, why the fuck would I use Nidoking in SWSH over one of the 100 new pokemon? I already used Nidoking like 3 fucking times already, and if I want to play online why wouldn't I fucking play showdown?
>>59298783Why do you need 1000+ Pokémon in every game?
>>59296915>Piracy is always justified, no matter the time or place, art should literally never be limited to only those who can afford itHow will the creators be paid
>>59296885WHeN IS OTET BEING ADDED TO THE GAMES?
>>59298820AAA creators like gamefreak, nintendo etc? they can go get fucked for being capitalists, no payment for them, they'll still have to pay their workers anyways and no you are not giving your money directly to the programmers and artists whenever you buy a pokemon game you are giving your money to the COMPANY that will redistribute that gain as they see fit (AKA, not even 1% of what they should)Indie creators? I will still pirate their games first, but if I REALLY like it I will buy it, happened with Inscryption and Look Outside, both amazing games, I eas like damn I want to personally give these people a gift for giving me such a great experienceEither way, normalfags will always exist, they will always think piracy is le evil, so you can pirate to your heart's content knowing some NPC is paying for it still if you reaaally care about "omg but if i dont pay for pokemon z-a masuda will starve!!" (literally will never happen because pokemon is the most popular franchise in the entire fucking WORLD dude)
>>59298748>Switch 2 emulator will be out by thenlollmao even
>>59296885>EMULATE IT, NOW!!!!!!!No, I don't think I will.The state of emulation will always be piss poor, and I've compared the real deal to emulation enough times to know this will always be true.It was true in the early 2000s, 2010s, 2020s and will always be true.PirateKEKS often never know what they are missing because they put too much trust in a troonjeet codebase that runs their games like shit.If a janky, wonky, subpar version of every game is good enough for you then by all means pirate - you're probably too low-IQ to spot the differences anyway :D

>>59299131Knight of Lodis is probably the biggest hidden gem on GBA.It launched early in the GBA cycle, was advertised poorly, sold poorly but is a 10/10 kino game.Whoever uploaded the first ROM online re-wrote a bunch of dialogue to make fart jokes and insert his real life friends over specific characters.99% of people who pirate this incredible game are getting some fat middle school fucktard's version and they will never know.
>>59299208>they will never knowthat specific one was pretty obvious but references to the edits show up often enough in sincere reviews that I believe you lolmuch worse is all of the LOSSLESS/FLAC uploads of music albums that are actually shitty lossy streaming mp3s re-encoded to FLAC file sizesit's literally more costly in time to vetcheck downloaded music now than to just buy the real damn deal
>>59299208>whoever uploaded the FIRST romwoooow! back in the 2000s!!! who gives a fuck that doesnt happen anymore grandpa people will lynch you on discord and banish you from social life forever if you add a watermark to your rom dump nowadays, every single game on cdromance is clean, its not the 2000s anymore, piracy is accessible to everyone and people are in fact fantranslating japanese-only games to this day, that ACTUALLY got SHIT OFFICIAL RELEASES, like Persona 1 for the PS1, I bet you're a chud so did you know the OFFICIAL RELEASE of Persona 1 made one of the main characters black? did you? and the official fantranslation from this decade does not have that anymore, realize that the world is not the world you were born in anymore>>59299230>Audiophilealso you're looking on the wrong fucking places, go to nyaa.si you retard learn to torrent
