I laughed way too hard at this
Terabytes of the same game, just in different colors.
Sort of. The same game, over and over, each time in a different colour, each time with a higher pixel density, each time a little bit worse.
Which is exactly why I stopped playing after Gen 2, which was the peak of the series IMO. If you want to see everything the series has to offer, just play Gold/Silver (or their remakes on the DS). No reason to waste time and money on any other Pokémon game.
Radical Red and Polished Crystal are peak, in my opinion. I can't go back to the lack of special/physical split, it's just awful.
Have you tried Unbound?
I have! It was great as well. I think it's my favorite original romhack so far. I'm planning on playing Insurgence next, although that's a fan-game as opposed to real romhack.
I've got Insurgence, and Reborn ready to go as soon as I get through Unbound! I'm glad you've been able to enjoy these so much! As soon as Did You Know Gaming released a video about Nintendo taking down fan games and rom hacks, I immediately went and got as many of the more polished and lauded ones as soon as I possibly could! :)
In my head this is a retribution for financing hackers that attacked Internet Archive and nobody can convince me otherwise
Nintendo was responsible for that?
It's like Lenin said, you look for the person who will benefit... And, uh... You know, you'll, uh... You know what I mean.
The Dude
„Who benefits the most” from attacking Internet Archive? Big copyright holders whose content was distributed via Internet Archive. The reason given by the group claiming responsibility is so silly I don’t believe it.
[edit] I’ll add to this comment so that I don’t have to reply to everyone specifically.
I don’t believe that if you wanted to attack USA (as people claiming responsibility did) you’d attack it in a way that benefits big corporations most. It sounds like a flimsy distraction from true perpetrators.
Good. Couldn't have happened to a worse company other than Nintendo.
Now people can verify if Gamefreak's excuses for not including all Pokemon in each game since the Switch games are real. And verify how low effort their games are.
Noooo what a tragedy!
Also design documents like the dude that mated with an octillery lol. The concept of people and pokemon breeding was still referenced in sinoh, but in a way tamer way.
Clearly I've been out of the series too long, what the fuck?
This is what made it in, but there are more of those myths that do get pretty dark for this series that was uncovered in that hack, also a beta build of BW.
We were once Pokemon?
We... Could have been the ones in pokeballs?
We could have... Mated with them?
Vaporeon
Batman...I caught a pokemon Batman...
Love how everyone in the comments are shitting on Nintendo and Game Freak lmao
They really, really, really, really earned it.
I swear to god, the Lemmy hive mind is even more intense than their predecessor.
That's like whining that everyone hates Blizzard or Ubisoft because of some hive mind mentality. Could it be that maybe it's just a commonly hated company based off their unethical actions over the last 10+ years?
No, if more than two people are mad at something, it's because of the hive mind or Russian trolls.
Here's the difference though: most people outside of Lemmy don't care about Nintendo's copyright lawsuits enough that it's the only thing they talk about whenever they hear the name. The fact that every comment expresses the same thing is the part that feels like a hive mind. Some criticism of a large corporation is one thing, but how strongly Lemmy holds that opinion feels cultish. Blizzard's leadership protects sex abusers and Ubisoft has had a work culture many describe as nightmarish for decades. Seeing Nintendo put on that level for something not even unique to them makes me think some of you don't know what nuance or perspective are.
Pokemon could be made in RPG maker in like 5 minutes.
Patent the code and sue Nintendo when they release the game.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You get what you fucking deserve, Nintendo.
Not even close to enough but at least it's a start!!
