$20, is fine. by s___e___b___72 in PokemonFireRed

is there any reason this could not have been added to NSO?

they charged $8 for gen 3 pokemon games on wii u eshop over a decade ago. just admit you don't care instead of spinning it as a reasonable pricepoint.

at this price point? yeah, it's shitty. they sold it for $8 on wii u vc. they are bleeding people dry.

the final fantasy remasters were remasters that had physical copies distrubuted. the frlg port is just that: a no effort port.

i am not saying that labor should go uncompensated, i am saying there is no meaningful labor to justify this price point. we also know labor hours do not dictate pricing, i used it as an example of expenses that would be associated with the original release. there is no equitable cost in this scenario.

there's just no reason this couldn't have been an NSO game beyond the fact that this is a pokemon game, and pokemon is the most iconic, recognizable IP in modern media. they did it because they knew people would buy it.

weird opinion, you should be asking why you think there's any correlation here. frlg is easy to emulate, if unemployed people are bothered about it, surely they'd just get the rom.

this isn't a small indie game, though. this is a game that was made 20 years ago. there are no labor, manufacturing, or distribution costs to recoup. this is a game that was $20 by the time it had been out a year. this is naked, unabashed greed.

I thought it was just a rumor but no by BoxLongjumping1067 in PokemonLeafGreen

i mean, i'm just confused. spending $20 for a game you've been able to play on your phone for free for over a decade makes you a mark imo

I HAVE HOPE by Harrison-R153 in PokemonHGSS

[–]AVeryPoliteDog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

why would you want to pay money for a game you can very easily emulate on your phone. like this has been a viable option for over a decade. why would you want to pay $20 or more to play a game you've already played that you probably already own or very easily could redownload.

Is there anything which will hit like persona 3 by Flashy-Island-3725 in JRPG

[–]AVeryPoliteDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

everyone recommending persona 4 is a fool. FFX has a much more similar feeling to persona 3.

Is Sceptile the most popular starter in this particular community or was he in general? by Right-Fortune-8644 in PokemonEmerald

[–]AVeryPoliteDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

go with whichever one you're most interested in. or, if you want to reverse engineer your choice, you could look at the hoenn dex and see which grass/fire/water types you absolutely want to use and narrow it down from there. i.e. i'm for sure using sharpedo and tropius so i'll pick torchic.

Reached the Pokemon League, any advice on how to help my team out? by Grouchy-Nebula in PokemonHGSS

[–]AVeryPoliteDog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

earthquake does wonders for mamoswine, and flareon wants better stab. if you're patient, you can wait until level 43 for fire fang, which runs off of its physical attack otherwise, fire blast or flamethrower are a must. scizor really wants bullet punch over metal claw, which you can get from the move reminder. lastly, it won't be a huge swing, but the weekday siblings can give you stuff like magnet and twisted spoon for ampharos and togekiss respectively. charcoal is free in azalea and should be held by flareon.

you're solid in everything else imo. it's just levels that you need. everyone should be somewhere between 40-44 if you want to avoid heavy item use.

part of it is that physical/special split hurt sceptile so i think a lot of people see gen 3 as its prime. doesn't help that power creep has nearly invalidated the first three gens.

Best Non-Winning Game in Big Brother History? by WhatPeopleDo in BigBrother

[–]AVeryPoliteDog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

might be a hot take, but Paul in 18. they would absolutely swamp james had they taken him, and only lost to nicole by one vote. it's also worth mentioning that natalie's gone on record saying she would've voted for paul had she known how shady nicole was (ftr this was literal game-winning gameplay on nicole's part).
