@The_BAAD_Man Trust me, it's fine, the only component that goes anything significant above room temperature on Super Famicom is the voltage regulator, and it is not too much.
The original power supply gets really hot, but it is external, so no problems there either.
@UltimateOtaku91 I'm 50 hours in, already beaten the game and have about 30 pokemon left for the pokedex (every pokemon is obtainable without trading, even legends and mythical) and I experienced no bug so far.
The 3D model's edges are very sharp always, sometimes a black border pops out, that is not a bug, but the closest of a bug that I got.
No direct is coming, no relevant system update, no DLC. It's just maintenance. When you are in a public place, like a train station and see a sign saying that the bathroom is under maintenance, you don't expect to see Captain Falco inside that bathroom after that.
This game is way better than Sword/Shield. They simplified a lot the battle mechanics (you can buff or debuff just only one stage, and the said buffs apply both to physical and special at same time, also there is no abilities or held items) , so I see some complaining there, but the gameplay is so satisfying that you don't fell that is missing. Boss battles are clunky, but there is only 5 of those, so it is not a issue.
The world is really vast and the game gives you a lot of ways to enjoy it faster (I'll keep this part spoiler free).
First time on a pokemon game that I felt free, that's the summary for me.
On my legends playthrough I only found piplup some hours in the game (like near the 8th or 9th mission I believe) so it may be fun start with a proper sinnoh started.
It costs 5x the price of its chinese clone, and exactly the same of an enhanced split pad pro clone (that come with features such as proper d-pad), so my question is: why?
Those vocal about the changes are the ones that will keep feeding this game with money, so in the end, the whales and the cashgrab app are two half of the same rotten thing, so deserve each other.
Both NES and SNES uses the same formula: usage of very reliable and very widespread components, as opposed as the new and cutting edge thing. Maybe he had a saying on that strategy.
Nintendo did this again with other consoles like the Wii and the Switch.
It is an amazing concept that give customers a very reliable and durable product. Tech-kid hate it tho.
@ChromaticDracula pokeradar got really better on the remakes. Just knock out the further away pokemon and keep going. If you reach a chain of 40, then you stop encountering, but keep activating the radar until you see a shiny grass. Catching this shiny do not break your chain most times, so you can keep going.
Those controllers are awesome! Really! If you are a handheld player consider it, if you find it too expansive, there is a clone version with surprising high quality selling online on China. I have both, and both are amazing.
Is kerbal space program on switch? Because that game is a blast, and, even it is very cartoonish, it touches a lot of real life space engineering concepts. This one in this article seems more serious, probably is more accurate, and less fun to play.
they can make high tech chips with extremely little semiconductors, and yet they are unable to figure out the correct position of A, B, X and Y buttons. What a shame.
I blame nintendogs for that preference. I don't like that game, but it was a huge phenomena back then. I wonder why there are not plans for that franchise on switch or mobile phones.
Still awful. You still can't sort pokemon in this program, all you can do is search with criteria and then you manually sort, one by one. The lack of this one feature make the program so much worse than it could be.
@Acein210 rare TMs like earthquake, and rare berries like enigma berry.
Also battle items like leftovers snd life orb. You can also clone pokemon to evolve them in a different way, like cloning a shiny eevee (aka evoli in most regions) several times to get all shiny evolutions.
"most of these devices run the same kind of thing – emulators for classic systems like the NES, SNES, Mega Drive and Game Boy"
Unlike polimega, that can't run any of those systems, and yet Nintendo Life tells us every 3 or 4 weeks how awesome, life changing and innovative polymega is.
But for whatever reason those systems (that are sofware emulators as well) don't get nearly the same love.
@dimi look, the Analogue screen is exactly 9x the gba resolution. For a player that uses sharp graphics with no filters it is indeed overkill, but for who use filters, like the one that mimics the dot matrix screen, more pixels means a more accurate filter. So again, is analogue better than gba + ips? I still depends on who is playing.
@dimi a GBA + IPS screen is way cheaper but it is not apples to apples here. The Analogue product is dockable (so you save a whole GameCube setup here to play on tv) and has a 1440p low latency screen. Also have rechargeable batteries out of the box and supports Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket and Atari Lynx. It is not confirmed but sideloading ROMs have been always present on Analogue products, so you will not need an everdrive.
On other hand, GBA can connect to the GameCube, a feature that I doubt Analogue will deliver.
So what is the best option is something that will change from person to person.

Re: Random: Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Streamer Plays For 17 Days Non-Stop, Catches Almost 150 Shinies
@gloom every modern pokemon game has a special method to get a shiny. It is never easy, but some instances the odds raise up to 1%.
Sword/Shield is the den on crown tundra DLC, Let's Go is the capture chain, Ultra games is the ultra space wild and so on.
For this most recent game is the pokeradar, and, to be honest, it is both frustrating and amazing.
