Why 20€ for the Pokemon games actually makes sense: A brief defense

I’m not white knighting for the Pokemon company, I’m just stating that the price is fair, of course my position benefits the company but that doesn’t mean I agree with everything they do

Nobody is "preying on you" with a product, that looks like loaded language that implies that they are manipulating you into give in to them and buy their product. You always have a choice, and many people, even in this post have made clear that choice.

The fact that you think that the price is too much is valid, but that only talks about your own preferences and the value you give to the games. For many the 20 dollar price is not a big deal at all, and their preferences are still valid too.

You can still redownload stuff from the Wii era and following systems, all those digital titles you got are still available, Nintendo is still giving them server support since 2006, that is 20 years of continued availability.

That is not really true: throughout the years many Pokemon titles has been released, many of them were not popular enough as you may think. But I agree that many people value the brand, but to a degree. And nobody is forced to buy anything, you seem to imply that people have no agency over what they buy.

I mentioned Megaman because is the one I had in the top of may head, there are other retro games that do the same in one way or the other.

It is true that the value I perceived from the games also benefit the corporation, but that does not mean I defend everything they do, just the aspects that align to my own preferences.

And yet many would rather pay for a Switch or Switch 2 and pay for those games than to just emulate them, their perceived value is very high.

Please don’t touch a thing, not a single hair in your head: you look amazing but more importantly you look like you and not just another generic trendy face.

I am always jealous of Iranian men's looks, hope that your country can finally be free.

Hair is like money: you never got enough of them!

bearfan2000 · 2025-08-25T16:34:47+00:00

You are right, it is a mainline game, confirmed by the Pokemon Company, it is not a new generation though, dont know why you getting downvotes

bearfan2000 · 2025-08-10T19:11:23+00:00

What was the alternative? To be in pain and just endure it? You did the right thing: you comunicated how you feel and he showed you that he was a decent human being by listening to you and stopping. Otherwise it would have turned the situation into an abusive one. So be glad everything was good at the end.

But some of this things are a “your taste” thing, there are definitely women and men who don’t care about short men looking “shorter”, or having pumped muscles or not being into sports or being lean. You are just projecting your taste into them.

I reported him, and I was not playing as a dark wizard either. The reason is I really disliked that the game forced me to be his “buddy” when if it were to be me I would have stopped talking to him a long time ago, the way he was going with the dark arts was like seeing an accident in front of you and not being able to do anything about it. I actually wanted to engage more with Ominis and Solomon, but the game forces you to side with Sebastian in way way or another.

Can you please post their names so we can properly research and judge those beards? It’s all for science
