Joestradamus Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Anyone watch the Nintendo direct for Pokemon Sword/Shield? I'm excited to pick this up and play through. Haven't really played anything since Diamond, although I started Pokemon Y (earned only 1 badge) but never picked it up again ever since someone stole my 3DS back then.

Rodimus Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I still don't understand how fans are not outraged that Nintendo is still milking the audience with multiple versions of the same game and then tell you to catch them all. Name another game that releases this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really the story is that much different? I know they each have a couple of different pokemon they say they want you to trade with your friends. But the story can't be that different it is not like those two GameBoy Zelda games. Those where two separate games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually end up getting both games, but only actually play one. I let my husband mess with the other, though he never gets round to beating them.

Those games have multiple "versions" like digital deluxe or whatever, but you're not buying two versions of Call of Duty that have 90% of the content, with the last 10% split between them. Fighting games kind of do this, but usually years after release, they don't launch two "real" (i.e. starter packs are different) versions where you can never have the true game.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Yeah, CoD and sports games are on another level of redundant shittiness. That's not what Rodimus is referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Even when I was at the peak of my Pokemania, I was never all that concerned with literally catching 'em all, so the different versions didn't bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that, but I feel they've never gone far enough. It's always like 10 exclusive Pokemon to one version, out of 12.3 billion. Just enough to make your eyelids twitch.

That's your gamer OCD talking now. 10/12,300,000,000 isn't enough to justify getting both editions. Doubly so when having both games will still leave you short 2/12,300,000,000. That is, unless you also own two consoles to trade Pokemon with yourself. At that point, it's almost as expensive as an EA game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I don't have gamer OCD, and I've never bought both copies or completed a single Pokedex! What I meant was that they design it to be just enough so that OCD people can't finish their Pokedex without trading, but don't make enough content exclusive to either version to really justify having two versions or trading to begin with. Especially not with the Pokemon Bank and being able to bring in your easy-as-shit Pokemon captures from Pokemon Go. At this point it seems more like a relic than an actual feature with tangible benefits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I misunderstood and thought he meant like X & Y vs Sword & Shield, but now realize he means like Sword vs Shield. The argument is still odd because now, with online support, getting all the pokemon isn’t an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like it could be a Switch light that is only portable so no dock and has a lower price. It might have a better battery life and improved screen though. https://www.denofgeek.com/us/games/nintendo/276738/nintendo-release-new-version-switch-2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be cool with Game Freak switching to a single game that randomly selects a few Pokemon that you'll never be able to get with your copy of the game. That said, the mechanism was never meant to get people to buy multiple copies of the game. It was always about getting kids to treat Pokemon like trading cards.

Paperclyp Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Didn't Nintendo split the last Fire Emblem up? They may have clever ways to make it a shameless money grab, but that's still what the hell it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
