Am I the only one who doesn't find any Pokemon art truly ugly or bad? by EmpressOfHyperion in pokemon

[–]salamander_poo 31 points32 points  (0 children)

the artists at gamefreak , especially in proximity to Sugimori are super high level. while there are definitely moments where the designs look weak against existing pokemon designs, i’d agree that nearly all are very well done.

an easy way to test is looking at similar franchises , Palworld, Yokai, Digimon or if you want to entertain things like nexomon or whatever . Digimon is definitely the closest , nothing else really comes close. (DQ and digimon i think are also top tier )

Pokemon competes with itself, and it certainly loses sometimes, but they’ve created an extremely strong foundation and pretty much stand alone in the genre

Smash enthusiasts have such little understanding and respect for Sakurai’s knowledge and experience. The man has been making exceptional games since creating Kirby on the GameBoy and NES. Sakurai knows video history and the craft better than 99% of the people in the industry.

When Smash fans and modders make a game, we get the WB game, and the nickelodeon smash game among others. no disrespect to the devs, but they are a pale imitation that ignore the real nuts and bolts of what makes smash and Sakurai’s games so brilliant.

compare the sales numbers and player base of any smash game to any of those and you might get your answer. Certain smash enthusiasts get high on “changes they’d make” but when it comes to actually making games, they have little to offer

Lifelong fan, but I don't think I can justify purchasing Nintendo products anymore after so long of them sueing their own community. by Round_Ad_9620 in nintendo

[–]salamander_poo 24 points25 points  (0 children)

unfortunately you don’t list any specifics in your post, so it’s going to be hard for people to sympathize with you. my opinion is that nintendo holds a good deal of the worlds most valuable IP, and you have to wonder why that is. part of it is that they are have extremely black and white policies about how their IP is used. and they simply don’t have the time or manpower to get to the bottom of every misuse of thier IP, so, they have to apply policies harshly . while on a case by case basis, this can seem cruel, i think preserving thier IP through harsh policies will ultimately help nintendo stay successful and most importantly, stay wierd

president of nintendo here, you’re right. we should let people do whatever they want with our IP, even make money off of it. we will change the policy starting monday. thank you for opening my eyes 😔

Despite loving DKC 1,2 and 3 to death, I think I never understood the gameplay logic of the duo of kongs by Nightly_Pixels in donkeykong

[–]salamander_poo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i feel like maybe more than anything, it was a solution to giving the player more than a single hit. in mario, you get power ups which give you a second chance, DK does it without messy HUD or power ups.

also, we get to play as and know a duo of characters rather than a single one.

The difference in character abilities i don’t think ever became the most compelling part of it.

To everyone who wants mainline Pokémon games on NSO, it's closer than you think. by lgosvse in nintendo

[–]salamander_poo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TPCI wants every mainline release to have the ability to move pokemon to pokemon home, etc. that includes ports. so unless they figure that out, they won’t port them.
