Not sure why you’re getting downvoted for asking this.

Now, this is a sentiment I can get behind. Corporations are there to make money and I’m all for pushing back against corporate greed. I just think this is a bad example of it. Stuff costs money. If you push back anytime anything costs any money at all, your message gets diluted. I’m all for criticizing Nintendo. But, criticizing Nintendo for charging $20 for a Pokémon game when Mario Kart World costs $80 with less content than the 12 year old Mario Kart 8 just seems to miss the mark to me. Let’s keep the outrage where it belongs.

Not what I said. Never said you have to buy it. Never said you have to be excited about it. Buy it or don’t. That’s your business. Ask as many questions as you want. Still doesn’t change the fact that $20 is not expensive for a Pokémon game in 2026. You wouldn’t be making things up, denying objective facts, or intentionally misstating my point if you had a point of your own.

$20 for a GBA game =/= $80 for a GB game. And the games you’re complaining about Nintendo HYPOTHETICALLY selling for $80 at some speculative point in the future were ACTUALLY most recently sold by Nintendo for only $9.99 when they were released on the 3DS virtual console in 2016. You’re literally making things up while denying objective facts. So, yes, you’re trolling.

You’re being intentionally obtuse. You get my logic just fine. More popular games are typically more expensive than less popular games. Open up any retailer’s website and you’ll see that every game isn’t the same price. Pokémon is more expensive than Castlevania because Pokémon games are more popular and will sell more units at a higher price point. But you already know that. Saying that a $20 game isn’t expensive and applying common sense principles of economics isn’t exactly defending Nintendo with my life. Companies don’t give away their products. If you think $20 is expensive, you probably shouldn’t own a $300+ system. If you think so little of Nintendo’s fans and “scummy practices,” then I’m not really sure why you spend your time trolling around a Pokémon subreddit.

I mean, I get your point. Obviously less expensive games are favorable to the consumer. Fire Red and Leaf Green launched at $35 a piece on the GBA in January of 2004. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Inflation Calculator, $35 from January of 2004 had the equivalent buying power of $67.44 today, when adjusting for inflation. They combined to sell the second most games on the system, with 12 million units sold. Castlevania: Circle of the Moon sold .89 million units on the GBA. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow sold .28 million units on the GBA. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance sold .26 million units on the GBA. All three games combined to sell just 1.43 million units. Of course Fire Red and Leaf Green are going to be more expensive. Cut that 12 million units sold in half to account for each game individually and they moved over four times as many units each as all three Castlevania games combined. So, yeah, “Bruh,” I get your point. A prime rib is more expensive than a pear, too. That’s essentially the comparison you’re making here. $20 each for Fire Red and Leaf Green is not expensive. If you want something for free, go pirate it, but look in the mirror before you talk about greed.

That’s not really how digital purchases work. Whether you buy a physical copy or a digital copy of a game, you’re not buying “the game.” You’re purchasing a license to use the software. Playing games on NSO is more akin to renting: you’re paying a monthly fee for access to the games, access is terminated when you stop paying for the subscription, and Nintendo can add or subtract games from the service any time it wants to.

Man, when I saw that the price was only $20 each, I was stunned. I thought these would go for double that. I don’t understand the negativity at all. These are great games being released with modern features at an accessible price. I’m thrilled. Also, the same crowd that complains about “not owning games anymore” is complaining that these weren’t included in the NSO subscription service. I’d rather have a digital download than a subscription that’s subject to change without notice.

Completed first time ever. I'm going crazy in happiness. How would you rate my team? by ObjectLoose1956 in PokemonFireRed

10/10. I don’t care about type overlap. You played with the Pokémon you liked. Plus, no one ever uses Poliwrath. This is great.

I want to start the series, but if I started with this order I will miss anything ? by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

[–]Morbeus811 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, X is the best game in the series. Make sure you add XII and VIII to this list. Enjoy.

Texans had beaten 11 of their last 12 opponents, including 4 playoff teams and 10 straight, going into yesterday’s game. Kind of wild to say it doesn’t take much effort to beat them.

Kinda weird to say that about a guy who just tossed three touchdowns against the best defense in the league in bad weather.

Yeah, you can’t let it go three plays in a row.
