@toiltetduck Pokémon games haven’t been published by Nintendo since the first two generations in Japan. Pokémon Company has published the rest of the games there.
@amnesiah I was littering while lying in hospice care, on my last breath, when Smash came out. I’m so glad Nitneodo finally released a new game from back in the day of a few years ago. I didn’t know how to carry on. My roommate, Fred, gave up the littering ghost when he only had 2 games to play.
Hahaha :’) true story though 😛
