Wow this is an uninformed article. Treating Smogon as the de facto rules adjudicators of Pokémon just exacerbates the impression that they know what they’re doing and should get to be in charge of what is “banned”. Not that GameFreak has a perfect record of balancing the game. Far from it. But at least they know what…

One, it’s belitting the legit concerns and gripes people have with the game.

WOW is this article condescending.

Gamestop was always the place I wanted to visit when my parents took me to the mall to do their shopping. I remember looking at all the titles, reading the backs, and vividly imagining what it would be like to play them (the games I did get never measured up).

I mean...it *is* Nintendo’s intellectual property. Simply chatting over uninterrupted gameplay doesn’t make the footage and rights to it *yours*. Exceptions are carved out for critique or satire, and have been for decades, but shouting “eeeeyyy-yooo, it’s ya boi NintenFan420 comin’ atcha...” over footage of a…

Orthodox Fundamentalist reporting in.

Opening to the public is just a bad idea.

Before the talent...aka the kids who sit around and do nothing while “the help” set all this crap up for babies to come in and cry about every little thing. They should feel lucky they are even getting a tent, we shouldn’t glorify e-sports as all they are kids playing games and somehow getting paid better and more…

Nintendo has been doing what they want to do for years and your earnest little crying will go unnoticed. They were around when your dad was just a dirty thought in your grandfather’s head and will be around long after you are dead, gone and forgotten.

So a dude with more money than most people see in their lives chose to take advantage of economically-disadvantaged individuals for the sake of some anti-Semitic “humor,” and is now surprised that there are consequences that go with that kind of behavior.

Got it.

Having read some of the comments on the previous article…

Per Nintendo’s previous public statements, they aren’t going to put a full-featured Pokemon game on mobile, even with this massively successful initial launch. Nintendo wants people to buy their hardware to play full-featured games.

Another developer might be able to come close to the original trailer’s ideas, but I…

No idea who Keemstar is really, but I’m going to side with him. If you want the income and fame that comes with being a top top level Youtuber then you should also expect the same tabloid style reporting that any other form of celebrity is subject to.

I am looking at this I’m just really happy I don’t know anything about all this stuff and drama, I mean, shit like this is reason why I don’t watch TV anymore.

Exactly. There’s nothing wrong with Let’s Plays, but the people making them need to remember that they are profiting off their reaction to someone else’s hard work. Without the developer, there is NOTHING TO PLAY. The developer does not owe the Youtuber jack shit. It is entierly the other way around.

Seriously. You’re expecting to make a career out of people watching you consume content? With any other form of media you would be slapped with so many copyright infringements. While I understand gaming is a wholly different medium, it doesn’t mean the creators aren’t entitled to get paid for people enjoying their…

People who stream video games make money entirely off of other peoples work lol You are correct in the misguided sense of entitlement they have, but that is the norm in Today’s society

I’m probably going to get shit for this opinion, but some people who are trying to do Let’s Plays as a career come off as super entitled. Especially the “sucks having someone make money revenue off my video” type comments. Without the game in the first place, you wouldn’t be able to make that video. I don’t think the…

I’m sorry but do you make Metroid? Do you work for a company that makes/owns Metroid? Hell do you even make video games at all? Who are you to tell them what to make?

It’s like renting the game.

How many women did you creepily stalk on twitter before you managed to obtain your current girlfriend via this method? Would be useful information for others considering a similar approach. Also, does your girlfriend realize that she is, in fact, your girlfriend, or are you waiting to tell her when she finally agrees…
