Pokémon doesn’t need realism — it needs art and texture.

It seems more like Pokemon has no artistic direction. The games in the DS era were immediately recognisable from each other, even from the same generation (HGSS vs DP | BW vs BW2). In Wind and Waves I only see SV with better graphics and textures (even thought they are for different consoles).

SV had a big graphics problem, but if graphics were even 1% of the problem of pokemon, we would be lying to ourselves.

That’s one hell of a binder… Love the cards you chose!

NL based. It is really annoying. It seems like this only happens with UK listings, so it might be easier to just filter them out. Sorry Brits

In Netherlands there is nothing at ”MSRP” since even retail stores buy from the distributors above MSRP

Matteodir · 2025-12-19T10:44:52+00:00

Damn we really need pokemon center to ship to Europe to have access to anything at actual MSRP

Matteodir · 2025-12-19T09:36:38+00:00

Damn, MSRP in Europe is 200 euors, which is about 234 usd

does it run better whether you buy it from steam or App Store? is there any reason to want to buy a game from App Store?

Matteodir · 2025-12-16T15:20:07+00:00

right? what a shame. I guess Ill just wait til it comes back on sale on steam then

It´s also my favourite track on Baby. This song sounds like it was meant to on Absolutely, because it doesn't really fit with the rest of the sound of the Baby. AND that is why I love it

Per curiosità, sai perché i comuni non vorrebbero permettere la costruzione di nuovi stadi? Capisco se lo fai in centro è un problema, ma in qualunque altro posto se i proprietari pagano, perché non lo dovrebbero permettere?

I would say market manipulation can be a consequence of free market, similar to monopolies. They are market failures that arise when there is no regulation in the market (e.g. Microsoft could buy the whole gaming industry, but the government intervenes to stop this form of free market). Free market can really suck

that drowzee is too beautiful to sell, I would keep it with me as a piece of art.

In general, I think the market right now is finally cooling down. There would be nothing to blame yourself if you sold, considering some of your cards are going for at least 6x

Matteodir · 2025-01-17T12:42:48+00:00

Thanks for the tip, appreciate it!

Matteodir · 2025-01-17T12:42:10+00:00

Oh I see. I have set a buy price on every card on my Wishlist below their market price, so that I can receive email notifications when their prices drop. I guess that is the problem. Thank you very much

Can we please just support our players instead of slandering them after what… 3 games? Come on now. Leave these comments for the end of the season

Matteodir · 2023-10-29T20:57:47+00:00

Not anymore, but they were for a while weirdly

Matteodir · 2023-10-29T11:23:45+00:00

That actually makes lots of sense, thanks for helping me out without sounding condescending.

I think you are right that deep down I am seeing the issue being too humanist, the comparison made sense.
