DO NO USE ILLEGAL DREAM WORLD REPLACMENTS, GAIJIN SCUM
>>
gamefreak's fault for forcing planned obsolescence into the jewnova games
>>
It's a shitty defunct flash game from 15 fucking years ago. Japs are the ultimate cattle, holy shit
>>
I shouldn't need or care about Nintendo's permission to play anything! FUCK YOU! Japan needs a third nuke. Not even the dumbest cattle in America suck corpo cock as fervently as japs do.
>>
wasn't dream world free to use?
>>
>>59706724
Yes and I believe there was a one hour per day restriction which made it near useless.

Someone wasn't aware that good machine translation is a solved problem.

Game Freak needs to call Nintendo and ask Necromoto the Gaijin-Butcher, wielder of Arr-Brack the DMCASword, to kill the gaijin responsible.
>>
I have zero qualms or objections to fan recreations and revivals of games and services that legitimately cannot be played anymore. You could classify the Dream World and My Pokemon Ranch as abandonware.
>>
>cattle calling others cattle

Is this even piracy anymore rather than just competition they don't like?
>>
I wish every download = a lost sale was actually true. Denial of revenue/income to Nintendo and GameFreak would be amazing. In any case piracy of Nintendo games is a moral good.

Recomp, decomp, AI assisted modding does have me more excited for fan projects. I already have Pokopia running on my PC just to see if it would work, haven't really played it but damn that didn't take long.
>>
>>59706700
I don't get these faggots. If a company won't make a product available, why shouldn't consumers? There's no lost profit as the company itself is not selling it or making it available.
>>
>>59706706
Vocal minority on twitter isn't representative of Japan tho
>>
Friendly reminder that the average japanese idea of piracy is going to an actual shop and buying a Pirated CD with the game on it. They unironically dont know this shit is free
>>
>>59707171
The average japanese idea of "long out of print" is also "can be bought used for peanuts", which is also where a lot of the disconnect comes from.
To them, "pirating" is giving your 500 yen to a Chinese for-profit pirate instead of the mom-and-pop shop down the street.

It's not even competition because the Dream World isn't in official service anymore and DS online is officially dead.

on the one hand terminally online japanese are notorious corporate servants but on the other i question what on earth i would ever need a revival of a 15 year old flash site for

I don't understand the point. How can you even use this?

No, but it's a general thing. The nips that call you a faggot for pirating have usually never been in a situation where pirating was particularly tempting for understandable reasons.

Been a while, what exclusive stuff did it have?
>>
>>59707315
Berries was the big one, but they were also the original source of Hidden Abilities (often called Dream World Abilities back then), and Pokemon you caught there would have otherwise unobtainable moves as well.
>>
>>59707315
All the hidden abilities (aside from in game ones like Darmanitan), berries and exclusive Pokémons, it also had secret bases (in Nacrene there's a place where to buy forniture)
>>
>>59706700
"Piracy le bad" aside, what other alternatives do players have? Are we just supposed to beg and spam emails to gamefreak about wanting DW back for a fucking DS game and hope they will somehow grant our wish?
Are japs retarded?

Why would someone bother to type the text somewhere else, ttanslate, copy and paste on twitter if the tweet itself can be translated by anyone reading it with one tap?

>>59707353
I think the idea is that you are not entitled to something just because it existed once. If it is not available anymore, just play something else.
I fully support piracy, but I the notion that "I am entitled to experience everything, so it's my right to pirate something if it is not made available for me" is one of the worst people could use.
>>
>>59707360
Twitter's translation tool is notoriously bad, and there's been lots of instances of nips getting yelled at by westfags for slurs/being rude/etc when it was just the inaccurate translation tool making it up.

the dream world sucks and it denied us a "pokewalker 2" because its basically the pokewalker 2 but confined to a web browser and annoying and slow to interface with and is a glorified shitty flash game. i yearn for the world where we got the pokewalker 2 and it was a bit beefier perhaps on par with the pokemon mini and sort of had the dream world in it and was more like a tamagotchi having minigames, more care options, etc but instead we got a website that lasted i think it was 2 and a half years iirc which all i can say is fuck you gayfreak because i want to take my gen 5 mons for a stroll too
>>
>>59707463
Pokémon GO with HOME is basically pokewalker 3 and i'll never like it
>>
>>59707471
what i dislike about go as a "pokewalker" is that you have to be paying attention to it at all times basically compared to the pokewalker where you can just accumulate steps during the day and play with it later, when i messed with go i just felt like a total retard in public aimlessly wandering around with my face glued to my phone, if it was more "idle" i think i would be able to enjoy it to some extent
>>

Nothing, dispose of the old games and move on like everyone else.

>Consume product and get excited for the next one
No
>>
>>59707371
I agree, it's just a bad argument. They own the intellectual property and not making content for it for a long time actually gives it artificial value for a future remaster, rerelease, remake, or something similar. If everyone is just emulating their games that is lost value since there will be less hype for this possible new content for it.

That said, I am still pro piracy because I think IP law in general is bad and only benefits mega corps who steal work from smaller creators anyways.
>>
>>59707535
A remake wouldn't be the same as the original anyway, see BDSP shit.

People restoring the dream world is rightfully giving consumers back something that was taken away from them (and yes, I did originally use the dream world when it was online. It was an absolute pain to use)

Shit like this is why we don't get reprints of old games like in every other industry. If not for piracy they could actually make money by still selling the Super Nintendo (instead of an online subscription to rent some of the games on it).
>>
>>59708775
reselling old game consoles as they were would mostly come at a loss because most chips used in them are not made anymore, theyd have to be emulation machines to turn a profit most likely or else theyre making a ton of chips for their novelty hardware, plus the nes and snes classic sold like hotcakes it was just nintendo being retarded and artificially limiting them for no reason (and the retro mini console gimmick toy thing fad dying from oversaturation) that we dont see more of those, piracy doesnt really have anything to do with it

They aren't opposed to keeping something available, they are inherently viewing something that is phrased as evasive support as piracy.

The Japanese (Or at least the Pokemon Japanese fanbase) are only now figuring out why people work around getting an service available outside of official means (E.g being content paying for something if its actually available to someone).
>>
>>59706700
Sweet. It's honestly a little saddening to playthrough BW or BW2 and be reminded of defunct features.
>>
>>59706700
Japs are so strange. They practice some sort of weaponized gatekeeping like it's their national sport or religion even. They have so much merch "for sale in Japan only", they very often don't offer delivery services for merch and doujins outside of Japan, they regionlock entire consoles, etc. On top of that, they defend both artificial scarcity and luck based systems, even stuff like tickets to the Nintendo Museum is literally decided through a lottery. You need to fucking gamble for museum tickets. And let's not even mention how gachapon got Japan by its balls, including children. That shit is everywhere.
It's baffling that they are so blind to this degree of corporate trickery that they even defend it. Maybe it has to do with Japanese working culture where hard work is honorable, and products offered by a company are seen as a result of hard work and should thus be honored. Maybe they're too gullible to understand that they are being used for profit, or they don't mind because "it pays people who work for the company" and don't see it as greed even though it absolutely is.

Yeah I've also read that their worship of corporations is actually a remnant of the Japanese feudal caste system. Clans used to run businesses, and even some modern day companies originate from clans iirc.
The feudal caste system hasn't existed since 1871, yet they still live by it in spirit. Japs are truly autistic by heart it seems with how much they refuse to change culturally. Imagine thinking like a peasant in the 19th century.

Are we actually sure this is a real Japanese opinion and not just the rest of us interacting with their corporate shills? I’m not specifically invested in defending Japanese people on some weeb-admiration basis or anything: this just seems to rabidly cock-sucking to be natural.
I mean, what if some Japanese person watched a popular american television show and then came to /tv/ to talk about his opinion of it. Hit with a bombardment of bitchy replies from corporate media shills over there, he’d wonder what the absolute fuck was wrong with americans. But it wouldn’t really be us, it would be the fuckfaces employed by IP companies LARPing as us

If dumpster diving is considered a crime for any reason at all, or even just considered a rule for sanitation, then no they do not do that.
This is not a compliment. That’s the flip side of these low-crime “high trust” asian countries. The people enforce that on each other. It is an extension of an autistic collectivism that would not be a pleasant lifestyle for many westerners at all. It’s hard to actually process how entirely different their perspective is, but it’s at the point where their brains are literally wired differently from the nurture perspective. Many of them can literally never be convinced that breaking any rule is ever okay. This is also why you see those videos of people getting fucking demolished or hurt and all these “high trust” people just walk by without even looking: “the system will take care of them. That’s their job and why we have it!”

Japan's got this issue where centuries of "Muramasa/Masamune made this sword, therefore it's better than God itself and probably actually contains a few actual gods, literally" brand worship has evolved into this thing where big companies themselves are nearly worshipped. The longer the company has been around, the more culturally important it is, it's why they dicksuck Nintendo so much even when they fuck something up, and why they're less protective of Sony.

I think it might also have to do with that whole "I made this, this is my masterpiece, so I will smash the mold and never make it again" Japanese culture thing, like, piracy means not only do you get the "original", but you can upscale it, clean it up, tweak it and so on. Maybe it's viewed the same way as digging up the "mold" and reassembling it?

My guy, it only shows the translated tag on the specific post you clicked on on Twitter. If you want to see the flag on replies, you have to click the reply.

Not that Anon, but most DSi enhanced games were shovelware. Pokemon and Solatorobo were no-joke pretty much the only games anyone cared about.
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_DS_games_with_DSi_features
I still think that's both funny AND a shame, since (and most people don't know this) the DSi actually had roughly double the specs of the regular DS handhelds.
Still makes the DSi the perfect system to buy if you're looking into CFW since it means you can use the higher specs on games that weren't enhanced, unlocking more stable framerates in games that desperately needed it, like DQ9.
>>
>>59711326
Can't speak for Japan specifically, but in China there's this weird law shit where if you help someone that's injured, you become responsible for them and probably their injuries too.

>>
>>59711828
That's only in China. If you are responsible for another person getting injured, you need to pay for all medical expenses caused iirc. If it's something that permanently crippled the other, you're basically financially ruined since you'll need to pay for their shit their whole life. That's why they don't help injured people because they could be held responsible despite being innocent, and they don't want to risk it.
It goes even further, there's tons of videos of Chinks hitting someone with their car, and instead of helping they literally make sure the person they hit dies by driving over their head or something. Deranged fucking "people".

>It’s hard to actually process how entirely different their perspective is
An example of not understanding that would be like “why didn’t Chinese people riot and otherthrow their government when they started the social credit system?”
You’d be asking because you have this base belief that social credit is wrong and that it would be a new oppression for them based on your individualist sense of reality. For them, it might have been a big deal for some people but it wasn’t a society-ending event because they ALREADY have that. Social credit has always existed for them in very harsh forms. Other people in your family can fuck you over by fucking up. You have to police each other. For them, the social credit system only digitized, it wasn’t instantiated. And hell, if you HAVE to live by that shit regardless of the system, why not just use the app to keep all your shit in line or whatever?
It is a mind blowing perspective difference
