Pokemon is so huge taht even a minority subgroup is enough to make a successful indie game sales wise
catering just to that small group
I think the only thing people want from Pokemon is them to put the old games on nintendo online
colleseum and XD going on there is based
but they refuse to put mainline on there for some reason
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak but they refuse to put mainline on there for some reason
Inevitable remakes forever
With the exception of gen 4 which was just fine and bare bones, and gen 3 where I still prefer the original, pokemon remakes on average have been some of the best games in the series
Gen 5 remake is probably the last one that has a chance of being good though, because after that we get to the era where I think every pokemon game has been bad
I did not like or finish gen 4 when I originally got it, I essentially 100%'d omega ruby, I really liked heart gold and fire red
I think heartgold is arguably one of the best pokemon games made
Last pokemon game I interacted with was not a pokemon game, it was a porn game
it was not good
There has been an official battle sim announced
It was overshadowed by ZA tho
It’s called pokemon champions
It’s likely not as freely editable as showdown but it’s got connectivity to home
And the mainline games have methods of pseudo editing your mons
It’s easier in scarlet and violet than any previous game to get a competitive ready pokemon (discounting the rampant hacking)

I remember as a kid, when Stronghold opens with "Greetings Sire, the desert awaits you"
always being confused why knights were in the desert
I forget what my justification in my head was exactly,
but I had some weird head-cannon for why they did it
I'll buy the gave eventually, no point in getting it since I am leaving friday
Porygon and I will practice up
so we're ready to roll you in MP when you get it
(or honestly Pika, get it now since there's a 10% launch sale and I doubt it'll go lower in the next couple months post-launch)
I don't have money on my account
Would need to go get a steam (tm) money card
Visa and Mastercard have finally begun fucking with Valve
Replying to Polar_ #polar_ Gabe will unretire and make New Project 3.
That would be based lmao
And Dialga, here my take:
There are ~30 people who control Mastercard/Visa (who are at the top of the entire financial pyramid)
They have total control and enjoy fucking with
1) Things they don't like
2) People they don't like
3) Punishing entities that have crossed them
There's really not any more to it that that
It's not about image, it's not about "high risk" processing or charge backs
It's all personal
Replying to Polar_ #polar_ Its really crazy that you can just absolutely financially cuck someone because two cards decided they dont like you at all. I dont think theres any real recourse or way out of that is there?
Nope, zero
They have begun to piss off those in power though, and are likely going to be regulated or worked around in the next ~5 years
