@JohnnyMind The lack of spin-offs is also really hurting the series. More spin-offs would allow more time in-between main game releases, but all we get now are terrible mobile games. The entire Switch Gen we only got 1 new spin-off (New Snap), 1 spin-off port (Pokken DX), and 1 spin-off Remaster (Rescue Team DX), the rest were F2P/Mobile. Which is insane because even excluding things that couldn't/wouldn't happen again like Ranger and Colosseum, there's plenty of things they could be doing as full or budget releases, and just don't for some reason.

@Samalik It's 4Kids Tier censorship and as such I think an appropriate nickname is just calling it Sonic X, both as tribute and warning.

I really hope the Switch 2 doesn't force updated software to the front and keep it there - the OCD is strong and having to enter 'n exit 12 things I use because 1 got scrolled off drives me up a wall.

It's Nintendo's CoD, they could make a game that intentionally turns your console into a live bomb and people would support it.

Even the cyber security for GameFreak is trash at the job, SMH.

More changes made for people who don't buy games. If anything the censorship makes LESS sense because more women both play games now and also want to see sexy women in them too like the men. It's almost like... certain groups in the industry are only there to burn it down from the inside, and certain groups are so, SOOO easily manipulated into helping them doing it every time.

@RobbEJay Was talking about the one for Emblems etc that's always there. You're not paying for pulls with the other one either, you're paying for die rolls for a random number. Which they're open about and is very much still paying for something directly.

@Samalik The closest to gamba is the Prize Machine, which you can't spend real or fake money on. You can only unlock more 'pulls' from it by actually playing. Everything in the game that costs money is a direct transaction with no element of chance - you choose what you want, you pay for it, you get it.

@Samalik You know it's not a gacha for characters or important items, right...?

@HotGoomba They've known peace for far too long.

I guess Belgium and the Netherlands weren't buying enough $40 Skins to justify it. How tragic, said no one.

@Bigmanfan You think I don't know how to redownload a game? It doesn't appear in my Redownload section plain and simple, but everything else since I've bought the Wii U did like normal.

@retrokid104 Because it was mainstream popular, everyone was talking about it. And another monster game being hot for 15 minutes scared them with the current opinion of the series.

Nintendo's the only company that's taken away my ability to redownload a game so far. They gave me Tropical Freeze for free via Nintendo Rewards and were like 'nah we want you to buy this on Switch, yoink'. Most companies just don't want new people to buy the old version and delist that version, but that wasn't enough for Nintendo.

Yo-Kai Watch did what most new IPs trying to be a company's Pokemon do - burn out the players by releasing new games way too fast, usually back-to-back year releases. Not realizing that Pokemon can do that because it's Nintendo's CoD.

Now have them port Dragon's Crown Pro to Switch.

@SilvaFoxMC I just want Kirby's Dream Buffet to get 4 Player Local on Switch 2 TBH.

@sixrings The difference is it'll be a minimum of $15 off in a few months and only go lower from there.

Can Nintendo give us the late 3DS titles Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn and Metroid: Samus Returns on Switch? Games that arguably should've been made for the Switch instead of launching on 3DS in 2017?

I'll get it after it's heavily on sale. A Beat 'Em Up only having Local or Online is sinful in Current Year.

@Serpenterror Huh. That's weird that they bothered releasing versions with 1-5 instead of waiting for 6 to release. But the more you know.

@StephenYap3 If the new Joycons could work like that and we saw a revival of Railshooters like on the Wii I'd be beyond happy.

@Ulysses "Blind, illogical hatefulness is the real fanaticism, and just so you know, hate is actually addicting to the brain. So your own vitriol against Pokemon is actually the real brain rot." I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult your religion of Pokemon. Nor did I realize said religion didn't believe in reform - the PalWorld devs did something bad in the past, and therefore need their heads removed in the name of Arceus! Of course it isn't hateful when you do it, only everyone else. When you do it it's righteous justice.

"Your own exaggerations display how no one is allowed to express even the smallest positive sentiment toward Pokemon without being derided as mindless fanatics." I suppose when you can only see in black and white this would be your world view - everything is an 'us vs them' mentality, triggered by any form of criticism, which is hate in your eyes. No, as far as Switch games I enjoyed most of the spin-offs, Legends Arceus was fantastic, and my favorites were the Let's GO games which fans disliked more than SwSh or SV. But because I say that SV has the textures of a GameCube game I'm a heretic that needs to be purged.

It's the most ignorant people like you who are always the first to project it onto others, lashing out because they're incapable of having a dialect or agreeing to disagree. You want my Twitter account so you can Block it? It's clear that's your natural environment.

Well at least someone's doing something for one of the best Pokemon game's big anniversaries. God forbid Nintendo use a fraction of the money they spend in court fees to actually release the games all these ROMs and hacks are based on to make a massive easy profit.

@Ulysses "And all they have to do is include the right buzzwords to trigger an army of haters to take up their pitchforks." Is that not what Nintendo did to all of you? Because I'm very certain if Nintendo didn't have a problem with PalWorld, none of you people would either. You were manipulated to not like it specifically because they didn't like it - which is why things like Digimon are okay and why Sony making their own game very, VERY heavily inspired by Mario Odyssey was fine. A pot meet kettle moment if I've ever seen one.

I like how the same people have still not actually read the articles just the headlines, and think this lawsuit is because of the designs. Why even visit new sites if you're too lazy to read anything but the article heads?

@Ulysses Somehow this makes more sense than most other possibilities lol

The more I think about it the more this sounds like it's out of pettiness. "Suing for damages"? For who, their egos, the bad quality of the Pokemon games? You know how many ridiculous loops you'd have to go through to prove someone was going to buy a Pokemon game, but instead bought PalWorld, a game sold on completely different Platforms, which also means they either were going to buy a Switch or bought one of said Platforms for it specifically, and that if specifically PalWorld didn't exist they'd have bought those things at that time? And then prove that specific scenario happened enough times to make it worth the time and legal fees? Unless they did something wild like straight up ripped the coding from a Pokemon game, this feels like Nintendo going, "It's not always about the money Spider-Man".

@RubyCarbuncle I mean there's a reason PETA always uses wording like that and no one likes PETA, right?

If this was for Copyright I'd be entirely in PalWorld's favor - two people can make similar things with the same source inspiration. But since it's for patents I'm curious. It's gotta be something super specific that you'd never think was patented in the first place, and it'd be hard to think this won't end with an out of court settlement... unless they're that insecure about the current state of Pokemon. Unless they can prove something damning it's just gonna be bad PR no matter the outcome.

@ClickBrick But you're fine with enslaving cute things and making them fight each other to the point of being permanently unconscious until/unless they get medical treatment. You know, the medical treatment those wild cute things don't get without being enslaved, which you only can enslave after beating them into submission, meaning every random encounter you KO is effectively a murder?

See how you can word anything to sound bad, and how you shouldn't just do it because you don't like something?

The fact that the interest in PalWorld genuinely scared them enough to do this despite playing nothing like Pokemon truly shows how much faith they have in the quality of The Pokemon Company's recent releases.

PS games I'd love to see on Switch are Dragon's Crown and Tokyo Jungle. A Beat 'Em up & Roguelike, before the genres were revived and the norm respectively.

@silver-crescent I mean... in all fairness pretty much every Virtual Pet game is endless busywork, right? There's no Endgame for the Chao Garden, Nintendogs, or Tamagotchis - they finish when you're personally done with them.

As long as it's Backwards Compatible with Switch 1 games, there's no Joycon Drift, they boost the performance of older titles on it (give me 4 player Local Kirby's Dream Buffet you cowards! Even if it's only when docked!), and the specs are a straight up improvement, I'll buy.

@Maubari There was a lot of reasons behind why the Wii U was specifically a bad name choice that led to that. Just adding something simple like a number or something that easily conveys 'better' (PS4 PRO, NEW 3DS, SUPER NES) is enough for most people.

@Serpenterror Well now I'm confused why they didn't just lob in those other 2 since that's the case.

Unless they're gonna double dip, I wish they had saved The Punisher for an actual Marvel Beat 'Em Up Collection.

Brawlhalla's got a lot of cool Crossovers, but at $10 a skin for a pure cosmetic change, it's not worth it.

This wouldn't be a legendary crossover event even if both of these properties were still relevant. Heck I would struggle to argue things like MultiVersus and Nicktoons Brawl as legendary crossovers just because they're just globs of IPs owned by one company. Meanwhile something like Smite 1 looks like they spun a wheel to select things to do crossovers with.

They don't really need ground-up remakes. No idea why companies don't look at others like Capcom, Konami, & Digital Eclipse making all these easy to make, easy to sell, hard to screw up collections that people want.

@EarthboundBenjy Tell that to the Pokemon Community.

It'd be hard to screw up and easy to make. You have the 3 different gardens, the school, a decent pool of mini games to earn rings (focusing more on enjoyable replayability than quantity), some Versus stuff for the Chao against AI and other players, unlockables for the Chao and the player (to squeeze in some obscure characters to play as), and sell it for a very stomachable $40. The Tiny Chao Garden in Sonic Advance didn't even require you to do any Stages to play it, and as people pointed out there was an old mobile game. It can very much work, and I'd rather have Iizuka just say they don't wanna do it than give excuses in an attempt to save face.

@Joeynator3000 If this does even decently I'm sure they'll make a collection for the weirder games later on. These collections are easy to sell hard to screw up, and Konami likes easy money.

How many of these collections does Capcom have to do right while other companies don't bother? They're hard to screw up and they're great budget releases for their yearly schedules.

Obviously the 2007 Transformers DS games remade for Switch 2. Would be better portable GTA games than the actual GTA Trilogy Remasters.

@TerryTrowbridge They struggled to find a balance between what it adds being meaningful but not feeling like physical DLC, and more or less gave up at this point. Wolf Link amiibo did it best IMO - it had great, unique functions for multiple games but wasn't stuff you'd be kicking yourself for not having. They might not do anything now, but at least they look a lot better.

Honestly they've still barely scratched the surface when it comes to their own IPs to start worrying about Third-Party ones. Sonic would probably be the first to happen if any, maybe if they do something like drop the Sonic Advance games for the GBA app around the time Sonic x Shadow releases.

@Alpha008 Obviously, yeah, but they could've very much at least given discounts of some kind for owning the original of a port. Especially since most of 'DX' versions didn't offer much new content and were more like Complete/GOTY Editions than upgrades.

It has to be - double dipping from the Wii U sucked but was justified because units just didn't sell. If they try and do it again with a console that actually sold, it'd be a PR nightmare.
