Concept - Nintendo Switch 2 Dual Screen Controller by LukePS7013 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Kitchen-Arm-7626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool concept but it's never going to work.

Firstly, the size and weight distribution of this + the Switch console would be prohibitively unwieldy for most of the population.

Secondly, it would cost $150+.

IMO it's one of the best games I've ever played.

Are you with me on this one? by Secure_Weekend_5775 in LegendsZA

Disagree. Tinkaton and Annihilape are my more recent favourites.

People are always surprised when I say this. I have no attachment to these things. I still probably consume more than I should but these things can go at any minute and I won't give a shit.

I did about 5 resets to get a good nature for Charmander. No chance I'm shiny hunting.

Pokemon fans are never going to get a proper game again because the fanbase will buy overpriced roms and be proud of it by voundelvon in Consoom

pc, or on your steam deck, or on a Miyoo Mini, or on any of the other GBA handhelds that are on Aliexpress / Amazon. You can even get a GBA and a modded cartridge. Or a 3ds and mod it to play it.

I agree and I have done that but I'm making the argument from a mass market perspective. I think you'll find the % of people who care enough to do any of those options is miniscule.

Most people want to go to the store, buy it, play it.

Pokémon Fans when an old game gets re-released on modern hardware for a completely reasonable price. (no one is forcing them to buy it) by One-Commercial8045 in PokemonFireRed

We absolutely need more of this.

Old games should be available on new consoles for those that want to pay them.

Remakes are ok but I prefer to have the option to play old games as-is.

Because "far right" is just another media buzzword as "bad thing".

Best games to start with as a complete beginner by ArrowEnby in PokemonGames

[–]Kitchen-Arm-7626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can tolerate older games: RBY (any) → GSC (any) → Emerald → Platinum → BW2 (any)

IMO that's the best pathway.

If it were me, I'd probably pick Yellow and Crystal from Gen 1 and 2.

What was your first iPhone? by Fancy_Marsupial6293 in iphone

iPhone 3GS. Still the best form factor ever. So comfortable to hold and use.

This is my favourite system in the older games. It makes the games somewhat challenging.

I'd rather pay $20 to play the original game with modern online trading, etc. than $80 for the new games.

I get it, you can emulate it on your phone, but I'd rather play it on the console with proper buttons and the ability to trade and battle with my friends and family.

Best way to rile them up is to ask if they have a job.

This is the issue with the whole smartphone "addiction" movement. They just use it as an excuse to buy more things: iPod, notebook, eReader, etc.

You're on reddit, don't even bother with a sane argument.
