The fact that this dev seems to think that Valve will notice “millions” missing tells me he has absolutely no idea how impotent he and his game are.

To anyone testy over these piddly preorder bonuses: remember the 30 potion pack from ORAS? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Which would mean that as the emulator grows more accurate (which is an inevitable part of its development), this DRM becomes more and more useless. Gotta love baked-in diminishing returns.

Competitive battlers are ONE minority, just like people who want more detailed animations over battle speed. There is not only a single minority. For the record, I don’t consider myself a competitive battler.

I’m not trying to tell you how you should feel, I’m telling you how the majority of players feel. I even disagree with them on some points; I too love character customization in games and I was ecstatic to see that feature in Gen VI.

Except they weren’t dramatic. At all. I grew up with these games, but I don’t have a nostalgia filter for them; the animations were all very jank, and many of them were reused even if they didn’t make sense for the move (Battle Revolution and Leafeon using Leaf Blade by... taking a small hop forward and turning to the…

Ahh, that explains it. Carry on!

Was it really necessary to make the same post twice? Nothing changed besides being more wordy, and the edit button exists.

The gameplay for all those "expressive" games was also ungodly slow, and even Battle Revolution just reused skeletal and animation assets for everything that appeared in the prior battle-focused games. I feel like this is a rose-tinted take.

If you’re playing Pokémon for the graphics, you’re on the wrong side of history, my friend.

“People who want a cool MMO Pokémon-style game” and “People who are excited to earn non-enforceable ownership of digital assets" makes for an incredibly tiny Venn diagram overlap.

Call me all the names you like, I’m not the one who called the conversation meaningless, claimed they were going to walk away, and then still couldn’t keep their ego in check and had to keep replying for two weeks. To say nothing of how the second comment string was due to me making a clearly factual statement to…

Hee. And here I thought you'd finally followed through on your claim to want to walk away. Please do continue, it makes me happy to see people say something then do the opposite.

The schadenfreude is real. Every response puts a little smile on my face before you are again forgotten.

Poor boy just can’t let go. I’d find it sad if I didn’t find it funny.

I mean, the alt-right is also noteworthy for being massive hypocrites and I personally have anti-porn alt right family members... whom I’ve caught fapping to porn. Far left has the same issue as well, plenty of staunch environmentalist types who drive non-EV SUVs. Humans in general trend toward hypocrisy because it…

It makes your argument less valid because you’re being given factual counter-examples, and you’re making your argument less valid because you’re claiming said counter-examples are meaningless.

Sabrina is definitely in her twenties, given she has a successful movie career by her last canon appearance in 5th Gen. Erika was likely in her teens in Gen I, but given passage of time like in Sabrina’s case, is likely around the same age now: mid-twenties.

Doesn’t matter how often you do that, you’re still engaging. It all leaves a trail, buddy.

Look, I’m all for privacy. But if you have a problem with moderation of actually hurtful content in private servers, I think you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself why you think allowing death threats in private is more important than protecting children from said death threats.
