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 FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE
YOU 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 sidequest

BUT 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

Piracy in the age of enshitification and subscriptions for content than can be taken down is justified whether moralfags and bootlickers like it or not

Also where you pirate need to be gatekept because there will always be a fucktard blabbering about it on TikTok.

Piracy is always justified, no matter the time or place, art should literally never be limited to only those who can afford it

>Also where you pirate need to be gatekept because there will always be a fucktard blabbering about it on TikTok.
I disagree, I always spoonfeed people, it's better to help newfags than to let them become defenders of capitalism, nothing is going to be "taken down" because its shared, almost every time things are taken down it's because of bad management, like manga sites being retarded and hosting manwha which are 100x more annoying about copyright because gooks are tuned in on english-speaking communities unlike the japanese

I have been using cdromance for old game roms and pokeharbor for romhacks for example and neither of them will ever be taken down because they suffered through similar circumstances and fixed it instantly through good management, as for NSPs... I don't know I just google it and click the first link that isn't obviously shady lol

I'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
>>
>>59297461
Anon I'm 34 years old
I 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 times
Which 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

I 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 later

However, 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
>>
>>59297468
The 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 stuff
How many people your age do you know that also have a gaming PC? I'm curious

You 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 pirate

The 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 released

The 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

I'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

>>59298783
Just 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 Gold

you 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?

How will the creators be paid

>>
>>59298820
AAA 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 experience

Either 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)

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

Knight 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.
