@Bentendo1609 so I looked it up, apparently all it does is abuse the mechanics of the in game auto aim, it's not an aim bot and could be done by a human... but is at a minimum cheap and unsportsmanlike and likely counts as cheating (though it would be cheating without the switch up as well)
if it can do that then yeah that's unfair, personally I only use it in Pokemon and haven't read what it can do in other games. I'm curious how it can manage that though
@Bentendo1609 this isn't like an action replay though, it just executes controller macros to grind afk. it can't to anything a human couldn't or even do it faster than a human. it just does it without you having to be there.
@ModdedInkling so important detail that isn't fully explained in the article imo, this DOESN'T alter the code, it's not a cheat device it's an automation device. it only sends controller inputs and the only input it can receive is rumble. it's basically a more complex version of turbo buttons or using a rubber band to hold the analog stick in a direction
@Anti-Matter I think I just figured out what I don't like about the art style of the remake (interestingly because yours doesn't have it) it's mostly the hands and feet being too big. it makes them look less like they're compressed to fit within the grid and more like they're toddlers or those super hero toys for 3yo kids to prevent choking. in the end I'm probably going to buy them barring some unexpected issue (like bad performance or slow saves) because the overworld sprites don't bother me much, but I would prefer a slight change
