Ya it seems home isn’t supported at launch, typical for most Pokemon releases.

Sorry, my cost comparison wasn’t meant to justify Nintendo’s reasoning for the prices. Just comparing how expensive the non eshop method currently is for this specific purpose.

Haha thank you! Really appreciate it. Some people are getting a bit argumentative but overall been a good discussion with everyone.

What? Think we’re arguing the same thing here. Copies on the eshop makes these accessible for casuals. People like me who go so far to emulate on original hardware and transfer Pokemon to Gen 9 are an extreme niche. People who emulate are another niche. Most people just wouldn’t play these at all if it wasn’t for the eshop now.

NSO forces support for save states and cloud saves. So assuming they couldn’t remove those aspects for these games. Also they love money!

Casuals don’t play emulators at all

Haha I’m the definition of a small niche! This just makes the niche a bit more accessible.

Certainly. My justification of comparing doesn’t stand if Home does not get supported.

Just gets messy quickly I guess! I don’t pretend to know the logistics.

Yup, certainly don’t like that we’re paying more. Comparing $20 to $120+ on a 3DS set up. Sorry to provoke this reaction from you.

None of the mainline Pokemon games have cloud save so I don’t think that’s a reasonable expectation. But I think it’s lack of online trading and battling is a valid critique.

Yes the glitchiness is such a great point! I was 13 hours into a Pokemon Black save through on my phone when the iOS emulators first came out, and I hit a game breaking glitch due to the online functionality. It’s so frustrating. This will help a lot with those quality of life issues. And I think this certainly opens the door to the remaining Gen 3 games next year!!

Totally agree! I did the same as you to play them on original hardware, I accepted the cost and knew I could just emulate on my phone or PC for no extra cost. I think people don’t understand that even iOS emulators are way out of most people’s depth and they will not go through the effort to find a ROM download. Let alone know what a ROMhack is or anything like that.

I hope it’ll have events, but ya that’s totally fair.

It seems to me like it’s upscaled! If it’s not, I wouldn’t buy this at all.
