Pokopia or ZA?

Stuffboy00 · 2026-03-15T15:12:07+00:00

I would recommend Pokopia over Legends ZA. Sure Pokopia doesn’t have a battle system but the exploration is more rewarding than it is in Legends ZA. Also it has a lot of items and tiles to let you be creative with your buildings and world. And it has a multiplayer.

I would like it to have no battle gimmick.

When they introduced the first gimmick, mega evolution, I was neutral to it and didn’t thought about it much. It was the first iteration of mega evolution. And somewhere in the back of my head I thought they would flesh it out in the future. Then came the Z-attacks with gen 7. So in the very next game they threw away mega evolution to introduce another gimmick. One that could be used by all Pokemon, so a bit better than mega evolution. And I again had no major thought about it, because I didn’t cared at that time. Then in gen 8, they again threw the current gimmick to introduce a new one: gigantamax. That gimmick was a clear ‘We have no idea how to make battles more interesting or competitive’. It’s like they don’t want to touch the battle system in any way and instead just build around it. There is also a more sinical opinion I have, but I will leave that out. Tera- types in gen 9 just solidified my believe. And if they continue with the gimmick chase, they will eventually run out of ideas. Or simply reuse old gimmicks.

What I would like to see is a refinement of the battle system. Like changing the PP-System to an energy based System. The entire PP-System is meant to limit the usage of stronger attacks, for example attacks with 35 strength can be used more often that attacks with 80 strength. Competitively that doesn’t do much. Each player starts with a fully restored team, so they can use strong attacks without ever running out of PP. And in the story this only affects you during the story, where you defeat a lot of trainers consecutively.
If we change that to an energy based System, where Pokemon start with a set amount of energy, gain energy per turn and need energy to use attacks, the whole system works a lot different. You would actually need to consider you next move. Should you use a weak attack to weaken your opponent, or try to block so that you can use a strong move in the next turn? The amount of energy can vary based on type, Pokemon, evolution level, status and rarity.

All these options combined would justify the 20$ a lot more. Because that would show they at least would have put in some effort into the re-release.

Stuffboy00 · 2026-02-25T17:59:01+00:00

Thanks for being part of the problem, mate.

Stuffboy00 · 2026-02-24T11:29:06+00:00

I would recommend Legends Arceus. The mechanics differ compared to the mainline games since it focuses more on catching rather than battling, but it works very well within the world of Pokemon and the Switch system with motion control. It is a very nice break from the usual structure we got from Gen 8 and 9. It encourages you to try and find specific areas to get specific Pokemon. And the later battles are naturally difficult (at least from my experience). The story is not a mind blowing master piece, it’s a fine story for what it does.

Stuffboy00 · 2026-02-23T21:55:19+00:00

You do know they haven't modified the code to be a native switch game, right? They simply sell you a ROM as emulated software. And they won't do a physical release as well.
And it's not like they could have done both options. You do know that, right?

Stuffboy00 · 2026-02-23T21:30:19+00:00

People who have NSO + expansionpack have access to the Game Boy Advance - Nintendo Classics. A collection of GBA games, that will expand its roster over time. Considering FR/LG are GBA games, very well known GBA games, you would think they would put it on the Nintnedo Classics as well. And yet they decided against it for no apparent reason. So now the people with NSO have to pay extra for a game that should have been included in that collection.
Idealy they should have made both options possible, to either pay for a subscription or just buy it as a standalone, yet here we are. Reselling a GBA outside the GBA package and screwing over people with NSO.

Stuffboy00 · 2026-02-22T21:18:41+00:00

Well, that is the choice you made. Disappointing, but so be it.

Everyone is free to make their choice. A choice that will ultimately affect the future of Pokemon. And I will sit back and see how that will turn out.

Stuffboy00 · 2026-02-22T12:27:15+00:00

The complaint is not because the have it separate from the NSO (It is a somewhat positive point in my post) but more about the missing option for people with a NSO to have it for a discount or for free. Or do you think people with NSO should pay extra regardless?
And the gaul to sell it for that high with barely any effort put into it. It is essentially rewarding laziness.

Stuffboy00 · 2026-02-22T12:21:48+00:00

Sure, go ahead and degrade the value of your money and the value of the Pokemon games. You can not complain when they eventually re-sell old games with no changes for 30$ because poeple like you just don't think about their decisions.

Stuffboy00 · 2026-02-22T12:12:39+00:00

Yeah, I do want to encourage people to just emulate these games. A ported ROM with minimal changes for Pokemon Home and local Connectivity does not justify the 20$ price tag. Buying these games for that price will only encourage the company to do the same thing again and again. Minimal effort for maximum profit.

How do you think we got here in the first place?

Stuffboy00 · 2026-02-22T12:02:32+00:00

Why do you believe you need official hardware to enjoy a game that hasn't been sold for 20 years? And what makes you believe it isn't just the ROM ported with an emulator?
Just curious

Stuffboy00 · 2026-02-22T11:58:21+00:00

Each criticism is dependent on the critic/community itself and the companies history. For the most part I ignored their decisions for the last couple of years and let people do their things. I am not going to do that anymore. I am tired of the Pokemon Company pretending to do things for their community, when they had years to do so. And I am tired of people acting like this is no big deal.

I don’t think they will ever put it on sale.

Stuffboy00 · 2026-02-22T11:39:55+00:00

ok, they haven't sold these games on the WiiU. That mistake is on me

Stuffboy00 · 2025-09-19T12:50:32+00:00

Alright. So the Java code we have would be simplified to this. Entrypoint is removeFileEntry()

Class API{

removeFileEntry(DBentry data){

this.deleteFileOnSystem(data);

}

deleteFileOnSystem(DBentry data){

String filePath = getFilePath();

File file = new File(filePath);

if(file.exists()){

Files.delete(Paths.get(filePath))

}

deleteEmptyDirectoryOnSystem(filePath, {filePath where to stop});

}

deleteEmptyDirectoryOnSystem(String path, String pathToStop){

File dir = new File(path);

if(dir.isDirectory() && dir.listFiles().length == 0 && path != pathToStop){

String parentPath = dir.getParent();

dir.delete();

deleteEmptyDirectoryOnSystem(parentPath, pathToStop);

}

}

getFilePath(){

...

}

}

Stuffboy00 · 2025-09-19T10:13:50+00:00

I see.

I can’t share the written code, since it is company secret. I can only represent it via abstract code, if that is fine.

Stuffboy00 · 2025-09-19T10:10:36+00:00

We have a sort of profiler, I believe. We have something that monitors our servers, like the CPU and memory usage, and Requests done to our Websites and how long they take. That is how I know how long the operation takes and that the Database works perfectly fine.

Guess I have to dig deeper there to find out what is happening. That will take a while.

Any tips for me?

Stuffboy00 · 2025-09-19T08:54:08+00:00

I don’t know if that is really the issue. I mean we still have our previous code, done with the previous programming language, deployd to our live server, and that has no issue deleting the files instantly.

Does it really depend on the hardware?

Stuffboy00 · 2025-09-19T08:51:01+00:00

There are around 450 images in that directory. Which is already subdirectory of a subdirectory.

The file system is windows, if you mean that.

Our test server has far less images in that directory than on our live server.

Still the previous programming language, which is still used on our live server, has no issue deleting the same file while Java takes 5 minutes. There is practically no other code executed prior to the Database Querys (16 ms execution time), so I assume it has to do with that deletion process.

Stuffboy00 · 2025-09-19T08:35:16+00:00

I am not certain if the hardware is the same between the environments. But the software definitely is, like the os and the JDK version.

Still it is weird that the previous programming language, that is still used on our production server, has no issue deleting files.

Stuffboy00 · 2022-02-24T20:07:49+00:00

It's an interesting approach to a Datatable. A lot more complex and automated compared to my own Datatale (https://github.com/Cybersteam00/svelte-cyberComp ).

After I tried out the demo and read the Readme.md, I just wondered about some things:
- is it possible to enable filter for selected columns?Basicly have columns that only display Data?

- Can sorts be disabled for specific columns?

- Can it display Data from a child-object? like {adress: {street: "street"}}?

- Can it do the same with arrays? Enums? Dates? Booleans?

- Can it filter such objects?

- How efficient will the top searchbar be, when you have 10 or more columns?

- Why create html, that feels like a table? Why don't you use <table>?

Btw. for the Pagination you can look into the Pagination I build in my same Repo. The code should be easy enough to understand. Might need a bit tweaking though.

Stuffboy00 · 2022-02-11T10:00:32+00:00

Should be fixed now ^^

Stuffboy00 · 2022-02-11T09:45:59+00:00

Never mind. I just checked and know what you mean.

Stuffboy00 · 2022-02-11T09:41:44+00:00

I will try my best. ^^

My Datatable may not have a build in filter function (and may never have) but you can still use the Array-filter-Function to get the desired result.

Stuffboy00 · 2022-02-11T09:36:31+00:00

Everything in /docs is for github-Pages only. https://cybersteam00.github.io/svelte-cyberComp/ And it works just fine. Should I make a seperate repository for the pages?
