>we got shitty and unnecessary baby pokemon like Magby, Igglybuff, Cleffa, etc instead ofnt of these great designs
What the fuck were they thinking? You don't even use any of those shitty baby pokemons in any game, not just gen 2 but neither gen 3 or anything beyond it.

>igglybuff
>literally jugglypuffs are handed to you at level 4 at the geodude route when you start the game in gen 2
>jigglypuffs appear midgame so a igglypuff at the early game would have been acceptable but no, better make it useless dex filler.

>Magby
>if you somehow get it with the daycare egg it's a waste because 30 minutes later you get Magmars for free in the burned tower unlike Elekid and Smoochum that at least appear later in game and you could justify them

>Cleffa and Pichu are completely inaccessible in gen 2 and gen 3 until you catch their evolved forms, defeating any purpose to ever use them.

It's like they didn't want us to use the shitty baby Pokémon at all, they are not just unobtainable or pointless but they are hindered by the retarded friendship mechanic too which makes just catching their evolved forms more reasonable.

Magmar is only found on Mt. Silver in Crystal.

>Cleffa and Pichu are completely inaccessible in gen 2 and gen 3 until you catch their evolved forms
And in Gen2, they're both only in Kanto.

Comparatively rare, but very attainable if you drop some money and don't care about the model. They're not very useful compared to modding though (and you might still need soft mods to get the most out of it). Can't really recommend getting one.

It didn't sell because it was too overtly weebish and it was marketed to a Western crowd. I remember seeing it on display and going "Well I know I'm not buying THAT".

Even other weeb games like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy have artfully done covers that attempts to hide its weebshittery.

Twice isn't a pattern though. Once it was done a 3rd time it became the norm. I'll always be disappointed they weren't more daring with type combos and choices. Flying being a type clearly fucked things up. Levitate was a much needed mechanic to give pokemon this sense of floating or hovering without needing to be tied to a whole type. Slapping water, flying and poison on to to things, since the animal swims or flies or is venomous was just stupid. It's a game with flaming horses and electric rats. Gen 3 did even less regarding bold choices. More type combos were introduced in gen 2 than gen 3. Gen 3 had more pokemon. It's a big pile of missed opportunities.

>Due to the low popularity of NEC's video game console PC-FX, which was the successor to the PC Engine, MediaWorks decided to change the magazine's title from Dengeki PC Engine to Dengeki G's Engine (電撃G'sエンジン, Dengeki G's Enjin), with the June 1996 issue on April 30, 1996, which is also when the magazine stopped being a specific magazine for information on games produced by NEC. Instead, the magazine would now contain information on all bishōjo games as the "G's" in the title stands for both "Gals" and "Games". With the August 1997 issue on June 30, 1997, the magazine's title again changed to Dengeki G's Magazine (電撃G'sマガジン, Dengeki G's Magajiin). The spelling of the title was slightly altered a final time with the May 2002 issue on March 30, 2002 to be Dengeki G's magazine (電撃G's magazine).

Difficult games lose their appeal as you get older and have less free time and energy. "I'm going to make you play my game for hundreds of hours just to stretch out the runtime!" I have a job and a mortgage to deal with, and I can't stay up all night just to grind away at a single game. If you want me to spend a lot of time on your game, justify it without artificially lengthening it.

I will go ahead and say, after some time my cousin who is much more into pokemon than I am said that he was not a fan of some of the new typings and found them sort of nonsensical in this hack. Didn't hate them, but he just didn't like them either. Just something to keep in mind. I personally didn't notice them myself, but I also more or less cut out around gen 4 so my memory on a lot of this stuff is sorta blurry.

>The failing of the Saturn can be blamed almost entirely on SOA's incompetency.

SOA had basically no agency on any decision to do with the Saturn. SOJ got exactly what they wanted. They wanted to be first to market at any cost. They were first to market with a ridiculous sale price cost.

>PC Engine had a CD drive on the way, and NEC/Hudson's ad campaign was focusing heavily on CD audio and voice acting, which were things that made the Mega Drive look outdated on launch, because they'd already built a decent market share after a full year on the market.

yeah but how can you place faith in the business decisions/practices of a company who in Japan couldn't put a dent in the PC-engine's market foothold on the excuse that they had launched 2nd with megadrive, while at the same time it launched before the Super Famicom and still got their ass handed to them in Japan? Thats complaining both coming and going that just rings as excuse-making.

Especially when in the US, they were able to, despite the same deficit, claw back a sizable market share against the SNES?

>>12269470
>>However, in America, they didn’t want to go in that direction. The Genesis had been so successful, and third-parties were still in the middle of developing games for it. Therefore, before releasing a next-generation 3D-capable console, they wanted to release an enhancer for the Genesis that would boost its capabilities.

we already know this is false. SOA didn't want to release anything at all and got told by SOJ before this japanese dude even got hired that not releasing anything was unacceptable. This guy's account is of someone late to the party that by his own statement didn't know how the game industry worked in Japan let alone globally. Once again, SOJ got their way.

https://mdshock.com/2022/05/09/a-second-atari-shock-the-decline-of-the-16-bit-console-era/ those morons of SOA didn't want to move on from a dying market so they created the 32x,killed the Saturn,got tons of unsold inventory and killed Sega

>who in Japan couldn't put a dent in the PC-engine's market foothold on the excuse that they had launched 2nd with megadrive, while at the same time it launched before the Super Famicom and still got their ass handed to them in Japan?
Because there's a limited market share, and that market share in Japan was slurped up by PC Engine.

>despite the same deficit,
What bizarre alternate world are you talking about? They established a very commanding foothold because the TG16 failed horribly, and they rode that lead out until the Saturn. The Genesis epitomized how useful it was to be first to market, just like the PC Engine did the same in Japan. SoA didn't do anything magical, they did better against Nintendo because their actual competitor didn't show up.

If SoA were the amazing geniuses behind the success of the Genesis (we're just going to ignore Europe here and stick to the America first world view and somehow insist that SoA trickle-down marketing work also applied to the rest of the west), why were they completely incapable of selling the Saturn? According to you, they took a failed console the bumbling SoJ couldn't sell and did great with it, so why couldn't they do the same thing with the Saturn?
>>
>>12269470
so what you're saying is SOJ forced it on SOA which didn't want to release the Saturn because they knew it would be unprofitable

Cube is used by autistic speedrunners, smush players, and for its current purpose. Consolized GBA. There is no other reason to buy it. In the case of speedrunning, the frame pacing of Dolphin/Wii/Wii U and NSO emulators will always beat that of the OG GC. Even though CRT makes up for the input lag problem, you'll always be slower than a guy running a suboptimal version of Dolphin on his phone. That's how depressing the frame pacing problems on old consoles are. For autistic smushers, something about original consoles and shit. idk vanilla is broken and there are people who play that for money.
