I wonder if Nintendo would bring over the other Japan exclusive Picross games. There was one on Satellaview and 8 mins on Nintendo's multi cart NP service.
I wouldn't be bothered by the limited digital windows if the games became individually available as digital releases after the fact. As long as my poor ass can eventually have the experience, once I have saved up the money I do so, then I don't worry about the fancy things rich people get for being rich.
@OorWullie If RPG Maker is the same one as the PC then it isn't a game but editing software to make games. People have been sharing RPG Maker games online for free for over a decade.
If I’m being competitive then I’m picking Pikachu but playing a game competitively is job and I already have too many jobs. I actually want to relax and enjoy this game. So I’m going Eevee which I find more entertaining.
Why should I care that there isn’t any random Pokémon battles? This isn’t a core game. It is a spinoff of a spinoff. If I want random Pokémon battles then I’ll either wait for the next core game or play one of the 16 previous core games.
I’m not worried that any of these games mechanics bleeding over into the core any more than I’m worried that Pikachu is going to start talking like in Detective Pikachu or that the main character is going to be a human turned into a Pokémon in like in the Mystery Dungeon series.
As someone who picked up Red and Blue on day one but who is also in their 30s now I see this as olive branch welcoming me back into the series. Somewhere just before Diamond and Pearl I had dropped out of series because adulthood happened and I no longer had the time. This game feels like it is made for me. The first 151 pulls at my old person nostalgia, the simplicity means I can play with my kids, and the connection to Pokemon Go means I can have an experience with the game while doing all the dumb old people things that keep me from playing videogames in the first place. I can’t think of any other game series that is being this accommodating to people in my situation. And Pokemon is doing it without dumbing down the core series.
I'm sorry to everyone who is upset about this game but I get to play Pokemon again.
What I hope “casual” actually means is that I can actually catch them all in game. My problem with the Pokemon series is that the event pokemon were only obtainable through some timed event that I either found out about after it ended or couldn’t attend. I always resented that there was an experience in a game I owned that I would never get to see just because I wasn’t privileged enough to live in driving distance of a Toys R Us.
