Wowww youre the only one that thought of that, stupid moron
No really, youre the only person retarded enough to not know nintendo doesnt own pokemon and that only a dumbass like you would think it's smart to release all of these games at once instead of saving them
Really pat yourself on the back for being so stupid. Fuck off elsewhere, scum
They do not have full rights to Pokemon. You'd be surprised how little control Nintendo has over the IP despite being one of its publishers. The IP is split about evenly between Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures. Nintendo does have a stake in Creatures, but they do not own Creatures so they have a roughly 33% share over the IP... which is lumped in with the rest of it in a joint venture, that's The Pokemon Company.
That's why GF is allowed to make such unpolished garbage. Nothing Nintendo ever releases is anywhere near as unpolished as Sword and Shield or Scarlet and Violet. That's all Game Freak. Hell, Masuda himself even said outright that Nintendo can't pressure GF into doing shit. That's what happens when you're an independent studio who owns 1/3 of the biggest IP on the planet.
Most money come from merch and such. There is a reason of why pokemon company CEO wanted fuck off to mobile.

Pokemon was always a portable first franchise, where else were they going to go if the Switch had bombed and the 3DS was already aging and on its way out? The Vita? lol
No you wouldn't because you don't have the right to do so. Retards who believe Nintendo has a fucking say over this series are brain dead.
The Switch literally only exists as is does because of Game Freak's iron fisted control of Pokémon. THEY MADE A CONSOLE FOR THEM. Nintendo are nothing.
Gamefreak Director infamously admitted that they thought the switch was gonna bomb, also, if they made the switch for them, the why they are so SHIT programming for it?
>Gamefreak Director infamously admitted that they thought the switch was gonna bomb
it wasn't gamefreak, it was TPC.
To be fair, Ishihara does have close ties with GF's older staff.
But yeah, anon has the right of it here. GF and TPC don't like re-releasing old Pokemon games. They view it as competition for the newer shit. They'd rather sell you a remake for $40 - $60 than a rom for $5 - $10. IIRC the VC releases on 3DS took some strong convincing.
A collection of pokemon games? Naj.
Red for 19.99
Blue for 19.99
Yellow for 19.99
Silver for 21.99
Gold for 21.99
Crystal for 24.99
Digital only of course.
I only did that a few times. I do remember getting three packs at... i think the store was called Gameboard, and being excited to pull a foil Magneton. I used to really like that store since i'd go with my big brother to look at pewter figures.
I think I had Blue version, Gold and Ruby. I recently ordered a Japanese copy of Ruby as I'm going to attempt getting a living dex in Gen 3 (but Colosseum, Box and XD are outrageous price-wise so I just got the isos).
Why would TPC want this? It would just distract people from buying the $60 games with $30 DLC while also making the new games look like absolute dogshit. I wouldn't be surprised if the GB VC releases on the 3DS, the years when Nintendo were having their worst years ever and desperately needed revenue, are the last time Gamefreak re-releases the old games ever

A collection of slop that needs to be bundled together to make a sale, a collection that's not even available overseas which speaks to its selling strength. But here's a product for you too, HIRE ME NINTENDO, I WILL PRINT YOU MONEY
Why the FUCK are tendies always so quick to the "NINTENDO HAS NO SAY IN POKEMON" defence to paper over shitty business practice?
Quick reality check: >Nintendo owns a majority stake in The Pokemon Company >Pokemon titles have never been on any non Nintendo system >Pokemon titles sure as hell never WILL be on a non Nintendo system >Pikachu is one of the premier Nintendo mascots >No decision or release about the franchise is approved without Nintendo's say-so >Nintendo actively assists with development and publishing of the mainline Pokemon games >Pokemon games are given top billing in Directs >Nintendo took a substantial cut of the Detective Pikachu movie profits >franchise is permanently associated with Nintendo in several generations of gamers' minds
They are published by Nintendo, created by a company in which Nintendo has a majority stake and used prominently to market Nintendo products.
Pokemon is a fucking Nintendo franchise in all but the most hair-splitting legal terms. Get the fuck over it and start holding the Big N accountable.
In short, Nintendo owns roughly 33% of Pokemon "officially" while two other companies own the remaining 66% (assumingly equally). However, one of those companies, Creatures, Inc., is a business that Nintendo has a further, undisclosed percentage of stock in.
It's generally accepted that the big N owns over 50% of the Creatures company, meaning they virtually own 66% of Pokemon.
Which, given the fact that there seems to be a smokescreen in place to uncover this information, is probably the case.
>It's generally accepted that the big N owns over 50% of the Creatures company
Ah yes, your ass is a greats source for this. So i'll counter with the claim nintendo owns 1% of creatures and therefore is still outvoted 2:1 by Creatures Inc and Game Freak.
If I was Nintendo I would squeeze as much money as possible from the fans by making the least effort possible
Just take some MIT emulators, some pajeets making a frontend and make them pay 60 bucks for every gen
Litteraly the ROMs from no-intro, not even the decomps
If I was Game Freak I would go back to mixed 2D/3D and Gen 5 animated sprites. 3D was their biggest mistake and only belonged in the spin-offs like Pokemon Channel/Colosseum that Genius Sonority embarrassed GF with.
>3d isnt a problem as proven by Pokken
yes it fucking is
pokken had like what 20 pokemon max
its not possible to have polished 3d models/animations for over 1000 pokemon
>that Genius Sonority embarrassed GF with
90% of the worst was already done for them when Genius Sonority picked up the battle sims. A whole lot of it was built off of it between effects and returning Pokemon were taken straight from Stadium which was Nintendo EAD's work. They took that foundation and built upon it, and then tacked on an adventure mode which was a great bonus and companion to the mainline titles. But when you look at it standalone, you start to realize that despite their merits it's a very stripped down experience compared to RSE or FRLG.
Then look at what they made after Gale of Darkness: Battle Revolution. A game they spent so much development time on chasing seamless battles that they ran out of time and resources and released a barebones title that ultimately killed the battle sim games. Aside from that last part, does this sound like familiar behavior at all? Compromising the core experience to focus on ultimately superfluous shit that couldn't even do what they intended?
Fun fact, Game Freak poached a lot of Genius Sonority's staff when they started making the move to 3D.
>Fun fact, Game Freak poached a lot of Genius Sonority's staff when they started making the move to 3D.
Shit like this is funny, like why are they still having problems? Why is it the largest franchise on the planet can't release a fully fledged title packed with features, gameplay and barely any bugs? Why did they keep making new Pokemon if they couldn't handle putting them all in the game? They can't blame it on lack of funding or publisher issues, they have the money and pretty much full control.
It's a combination of Game Freak's existing incompetent staff and their refusal to expand their dev teams beyond the small scope of their studio. It's funny, Pokemon sells numbers most AAA studios would kill for, consistently at that, but they obviously don't do it on a AAA budget.
Simply put, the people in charge of mainline Pokemon have lost all of their passion for the IP. Maybe it's because they got older, or maybe they're simply frustrated that their non-Pokemon projects, and therefor their efforts not tied to Nintendo, have all fallen flat. Either way, it's clear they want to do anything but Pokemon, but Pokemon is what pays the bills so they just treated it from a cynical point of view.
and they're all awful
the pokemon are too static with lazy poses
It's up to GF to animate them, which isn't an unreasonable task. The hardest part was getting X and Y's roster done. They could have gradually improved the animations over time with each iteration while making better ones for the new Pokemon that get added... but instead they chose the lazy route.
The actual models themselves are really good and most spinoff titles use them as well. If you've ever seen the arcade games from Japan, they also use the same models, but actually put some more effort into their presentation. It's like night and day.

Pretty much. Hell, IIRC GF has even mentioned they've declined help from Nintendo on occasion. They're stubborn fucks that want to do shit their own way and without Nintendo's rigorous standards.

1:1 VS Remastered
I'd buy this and I stopped playing Pokemon over a decade ago because I'm not a coomer and I have standards
Which "classic" Pokemon games did you all own growing up? I had Red and Gold, while my sister had Blue and Yellow. Good times 🙁
Red/Yellow/Gold/Crystal
when i was in middle school my parents got me Ruby and Sapphire but i could never get into gen 3.
Yeah, I never played past second gen games. Remember going to EB Games in the mall and grabbing packs of Pokemon cards? :-*~~
I only did that a few times. I do remember getting three packs at... i think the store was called Gameboard, and being excited to pull a foil Magneton. I used to really like that store since i'd go with my big brother to look at pewter figures.

where's your source?
same place as your source
If you are accusing me of being wrong, provide your evidence.
You made a claim and i called you out on not being able to support it. the only one who needs to provide evidence is you.
In what logical manner could you possibly attempt to argue that Pokemon is NOT an inextricably Nintendo-associated franchise?
That's a wonderful strawman, since the only claim i implied was that nintendo does not own a majority stake in "The Pokemon Company".
There are several Pokémon titles on Android and iOS, and this cutie on PC.
There are Mario and Animal Crossing games on mobile too.
I can play all of those for free
