Why couldn’t they just have done Emerald on the switch alongside or instead of FRLG?Why couldn’t they add basic online functionality to them? And/or actual home support instead of 1-way deposits?I understand ‘doing the minimum’, but uh, that is ‘the minimum’ for 20 year old ports.Its openly hostile to the consumer.>’it’ll sell anyways’Of course, but aren’t japs supposed to be proud of their work, held to high standards and shit? Again, the online stuff really is the bare minimum in expectations.
>>59383515>aren’t japs supposed to be proud of their work, held to high standards and shit?Their houses last like 30 years. They don't give a shit about quality.
>>59383560The cars though. And the appliances.
>>59383569>carsBeat by Koreans, soon to be beat by Chinese, no good trucks. They're better than American cars, which is no great accomplishment.>appliancesOverpriced with useless features.The only thing they do better than anyone else is instruments and vibrators.
>>59383560>send all their men on mass suicide attacks>even invent a word for how retarded it is "kamikaze">their commanders and officers were so retarded, stubborn, and autistic the US just soloed them all the way to Tokyo and nuked them twice.They lost WW2 for good reason.
They'll do R/S first, everyone will buy that and double dip when they do Emerald.
>>59383590>trucksAmerica slop
>>59383610Do you think your food is delivered to the store on the back of a bicycle? Too poor to even imagine towing something? Retard.
>>59383515they probably will add it eventually, chll out
>>59383515>Why couldn’t they just have done Emerald on the switch alongside or instead of FRLG?Because FRLG is a remake of the first generation and thus a fitting way to celebrate an anniversary, RSE isn't as symbolic by comparison (btw I love RSE, but it's the truth).>Why couldn’t they add basic online functionality to them? And/or actual home support instead of 1-way deposits?Because the ports are just a way to scratch your nostalgia, if you want to engage with global trade/battles then do it in the newest games.
>>59383515>instead of 1-way deposits?Gen 3 didn't even have hidden abilities, it would be awkward as fuck to transfer back and forth from Home.
>>59383630>Because the ports are just a way to scratch your nostalgia, if you want to engage with global trade/battles then do it in the newest games.Based. Fuck portfags
>>59383515>japs supposed to be proud of their work, held to high standards and shit?They were but then Gen V happened. The internet got the games way early due to roms/flashcarts/translation and game freak hated the negative feedback. Then for the sequels they still put a ton of development time when they were trying to develop XY. BW2 didn't do the worst but it was meh sales wise. Then XY, which had more cut content sold very well. The upper management was very much becoming aware of the power of the pokemon brand. So yes it's because they can make money regardless and no they can't be bothered to spend any additional money in dev time getting features working that some a autistic persons did for free. For example, GBC/N64 emulators/roms have working Stadium transfer functionality. They couldn't be bothered to do that for the NSO release and make it work with home gen 1 pokemon you transferred from the 3ds VC games. Even though it would be relatively trivial.
>>59383665>make it work with home gen 1 pokemon you transferred from the 3ds VC gamesThat sounds like a convoluted proposal for the casual user though, especially when the Eshop is dead. It would be more reasonable if the Switch itself had gen 1/2 games (FRLG is gen 3 thus doesn't count), which could probably happen during the Switch 2's lifespan, but it's not a thing right now.
>>59383673When stadium 1 and 2 came out the e-shop was still active. Also home transfer is still possible.They didn't want to spend any dev time and instead released a half ass version of a game.
>>59383852Stadium came out the same year the eshop ended (2023) with just a few months of difference.Nobody would add a service only to take it away shortly after, it would be even more controversial.
>>59383515>Of course, but aren’t japs supposed to be proud of their work, held to high standards and shit? Again, the online stuff really is the bare minimum in expectations.Corporations are not people>But CEOs and higher ups are still peopleNo they're not
>>59383515>Why couldn’t they add basic online functionality to them?this is probably the biggest fuck you because I want to use Alakazam during my playthrought
>>59383867You can trade locally, so just get a friend to help you =)
>>59383854>Corporations are not peopleThey are, retard
>>59383515my guess for the internet compatibility is that changing the game too much would change the age rating because it would be significantly different from the original. But I agree, they could have released all 5 games and profit a lot more
>all these kids STILL failing to understandThey wanted to celebrate the 30th anniversary and no more. So that's why it was "only" Kanto and FRLG (because they're not stupid, fuck all people bought RGBY on VC re-release, so no point re-re-releasig that one). Hoenn will never be Kanto, thus never be as important to Game Freak.
How would they have enabled this online functionality? FRLG and RSE weren't coded for global connections like later games do. They don't have a GTS for networking and link trading.
>>59383593>>send all their men on mass suicide attacks>>even invent a word for how retarded it is "kamikaze"To be fair it worked pretty well against the Russians 30+ years prior. I think they only really did it in most cases because their doctrine didn’t allow for surrender so it was either sit and die or charge towards the enemy. It worked out better against the Chinese I imagine.
>>59384461Anon thinks it'd be simple, easy and feasible to re-write a suite of code to handle the extrapolations to modern hardware and back.All goes back to the bare basic fact that the average /vp/aeo has no utter clue how video games get produced, so in their delusions of adequacy to the brand it means it should be done for them.
>>59384493I’m an actual engineer, it would probably be easier than you think. Nowadays you just have Claude do it for you while you jerk off to pokegirls. But Japanese companies are more conservative (retarded) when it comes to change so I bet they’re still stuck in the 90s at GF.
>>59384517>I’m an actual engineer>just have Claude do it for youLARPing as an engineer, great.
>>59384523This is what we do at my work. You’re wasting your time if you’re looking at every little line of code.
>>59384529Sounds like your company is wasting money paying you when they can have Claude do your work for you.
>>59384536Unfortunately for them Claude needs someone to tell it what to do.
>>59384540That's what executives are for. Why would a company need data engineers when an executive can have Claude do it all for them. Just prompt "no mistakes" and you're good.
>>59384546Delegation? The boss man pays me to prompt Claude and tell it to make no mistakes so he doesn’t have to. It’s the same reason why he pays the directors to tell me to prompt Claude and tell it to make no mistakes.
>>59384517>proving my pointNo child, it wouldn't. And certainly not when doing so increases the costs of producing the ports vs not doing any of that shit and getting more profit from it (because in case you missed it, the normal cunts don't care about two-way transfers BACK to the kanto re-tread, they'll take them forward to the modern games). They don't want or need to cater to you desperate cunts, get the message already.
>>59383515Kanto is easier for a birthday
