Nintendo owns somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the entire Pokemon franchise (it’s complicated and involves some holding companies), and at the time took a big cut of every cartridge manufactured, so it’s possible they made more money off every cartridge sale than GameFreak did.

They’ve been using this strategy ever since Pokemon Red and Green released in 1996. Sell one copy to each kid in a family, instead of sharing a single cartridge with two save slots.

Tieflings are descended from people who thought it would be awesome to bone a Glabrezu, so it makes sense that they’re super horny.

The best sex% speedrun will always be Breath of the Wild.

I just learned about a player who always uses legit pokemon who was disqualified for using a Cresselia that they have been using in competition since Diamond/Pearl that ended up being hacked. Is this player, who has unknowingly used a traded hacked Cresselia, a cheater? What did they do that is morally wrong?

The move Burn Up already does that. It can only be used by fire types, does big damage, and then the user loses its fire type until it switches out.

Just pointing out that your position is incoherent and based on lies.

He already knows. They wouldn’t be astroturfing him if they didn’t own him.

“Yes, someone may still be willing to dump HOURS in to the game to get that configuration...but those players will be extremely common, including every single player who wins more than two matches.”

Big deal. The Nameless One pulled out his own eye with his bare hands, just so he could replace it with a pickled eye that made him hallucinate his past lives.

More like “if you require pointless grinding your game will be unpopular”

Every pokemon in competition, whether caught, hatched, or hacked, is a “min/maxed stat beast”.

“The whole point of the game is to catch, train, and battle Pokemon”

“a horse (Pokemon) that has illegally impossible combinations of physical and mental attributes”

Does that 68 screens include drive-ins? Because Mario is a great movie to have in a kid-friendly double feature paired with something more recent like TMNT.

This confirms that you have no idea how competitive Pokemon works. Generating pokemon makes it EASIER to try new strategies because you can make changes to your team in minutes instead of hours. This means teams are MORE creative.

Really doubling down on your love of pay-to-win here.

“bake your own pie” == “play your own matches”

Most people call that “pay-to-win”

Yes, let’s make it more difficult for new players to get into competitive play by making arbitrary rules that have no impact on the outcome of the actual competition.
