Because "muh traditions".
Remember to thank Shiggy for that one by the way, wouldn't have had the Two Version israelite without him, and GameFreak would've kept going with single versions until the tech and budget was there to unironically personalize every copy.
>Does the version exclusive mechanic better in your path
Funny to think Pokemon would have also done it this way if they weren't moronic.
Wait what did this game do?
Each save file has a different set of exclusive items that you need to trade with other players to get the other ones.
It's like if you started a Pokemon Gen 1 game and instead of getting Electabuzz, Scyther, and Mankey every time your save could have a combination of Magmar, Scyther, and Mankey instead. You'd need to trade with a lot more people to actually find the Pokemon you need for your dex instead of just getting the 2nd version. In Pokemon they could use this to only have 1 version and make those not tied to the save file either super rare like PLA or not show up at all like normal.
>there are just some pokemon you flat out can't have, randomly decided the first time you start a game
that sounds awful. so glad gamefreak is in charge and not you
are just some pokemon you flat out can't have, randomly decided when you go to the store except you can fix it by paying double the price for the other version
that sounds awful. oh wait.
Does $60 mean that much for you? That sucks dude.
I mean, for me, I'm getting both anyway. My gf and I play together and it's fun to decide who gets which version.
But that's how it already works?
that honestly sounds good
Yeah. Like most other things wrong with the series now they were halfway towards modernizing it in Gen 6 but then completely washed it off the idea board afterwards.
Jesus frick, Zelda cycle is real
Zelda cycle implies that the games after implied equally important and interesting concepts that justifies wiping the slate clean.
Good. But Game Freak won't do that. Why do that when their loyal customers will buy both versions, voluntarily and happily without hesitation and regret. Why only made one when you can "split" it into two, or even three "parts" and get triple the money. At this point, Game Freak is unstoppable and it's the rabid fans that make this happen.
pirate both and play on emulator btw
>Each save file has a different set of exclusive items that you need to trade with other players to get the other ones
False. You don't need these items.
Also, any new file is free.
Counterpoint: People will b***h about the "random" aspect of that and instead complain that all mons should have been available from the start.
only nuzlockegays would ever complain about it
others would approve of it because it encourages trading
I know pokegays, they whine at the aspect of trading
That was actually the original plan for Pocket Monsters before someone gave them the idea for two different versions.
sounds neat. I would rather pay $80 to get all stuff instead of paying an extra $60
... As long as you can have multiple save files.
but they wont because pokehomosexuals are really the most moronic "gamers" in our world, basically the isheep of vidyagames
why cut sales if morons will hand you money anyway?
>>Why would you want dynamic trade incentives? Don't you have friends?
>But going back to the original vision of version exclusives would require even more friends to get all the Pokemon and make trading a bigger part of the game.
WHAT ARE YOU, POOR? JUST BUY BOTH VERSIONS
yeah but imagine being poor AND lonely
They didn't even have to do it in a way that made millions of variations. Just have a value assigned to the player on save creation that determines version exclusives.
Ironic when a huge part of them are the kind of "people" to disregard actual traditions.
almost as if it's only the ones that have no place in this day and age
Like having two versions of the same game?
that isn't one of them, keep crying boomer
>that isn't one of them
When the games are reduced to having both versions in the same cartridge with a flag that says which to load on boot, it's no longer necessary. Stay cucked and seethe.
Honestly there should just be ONE main legendary for the entire generation. Its kind of nonsense at this point to have version exclusive shit
This was only annoying before the DS era, when you needed a local friend and some proprietary cable bullshit to trade Pokemon. But after that? Just trade online.
shove that cuck pass up your ass
shut up meghan
UOOOOH TWO BIKEMONS RIPPING THIER TAILPIPES IN YOUR FACE
Imagine being a fan of the most normie franchise on the planet and still b***hing about versions because you have no friends
All my friends who like Pokemon agree the modern games suck anyways, we just play showdown
>people still acting like they buy these for their "friend"
Yes I'm sure your friend is happy you saved him a whole whooping penny.
Look again. That's the digital version.
You can't even share the digital double pack. It's literally being sold to moronic paypiggies who always buy both versions for themselves.
It sucks and has always sucked. Having three games per region was just a way of milking more money from the consumer. Trading is dumb, and trade evos are cancer that inevitably make getting certain pokemon a pain in the ass once trading is no longer viable (online killed, no one with link cable, etc).
i wish more people realised. its insane!
Wasn't BDSP shipped with both versions in each game, just a single line of code that determines which one you're playing? Anyone who defends this shit is beyond cancer. They're about to have 1000 Pokemon, there's no reason we can't just have a single game that randomizes from that pool of Pokemon for each user. Well there is a reason, greed of course.
That was the rumour but changing the string didn't actually work. The game wouldn't load if you did that.
I enjoy deciding with my friends and trading back and forth.
Buying both is moronic
One version doesn't push the "trading with your friends" angle as hard as two versions with slight differences in pokémon distibution does smooth brain. Thing's still made to gouge money off parents of kids and kids themselves, so small wonder they haven't changed how the money-farming machine runs.
>Why do Pokemon fans still defend this 2 version shit?
Because I only buy one and trade the mons with my bros, like the first time?
It’s a kids game. You have two sons: each son chooses their version.
someone needs to spend 40 grand and go to a stockholder meeting and b***h about this
same israeli tricks for why these games still don't allow multiple save files even though storage space hasn't been a concern post-gen2
The way the antis b***h, it's like Trading isn't a thing.
Don't buy it then
People do realize that double packs are for parents with multiple kids, right? Gamefreak doesnt specifically sell them for weirdos who want to buy two variations of the same game.
These game variations are harmless and mainly serve to encourage trading. Even if you have no friends it's super easy just to trade online with recent games anyways. Dont see the problem
You are tryinf to see them reason, moronic homosexuals here will cry at every oppurtunity over the most trivial shit
Literally just buy one version and trade with others online if you are that desperate to finish some stupis dex. Other than that different versions are the same thing. No one is forcing you gays to buy the two versions.
Nah homie, dual packs have a dual purpose.
One purpose is for multiple-kid families yes, but GameFreak also acknowledges there's a consumerbase that buys dual packs for themselves so they can easily buy both versions in a bundle, and sometimes they'll even buy TWO dual packs so they can have one pair to play, one "to collect".
we call those fringe
I think you mean cringe
shut the frick up rajesh
>actually paying games full price without searching for lower
>actually preordering anything at all
so this is what nu-vp is about...
Cause I only bought one.
What's the point of selling a digital bundle? It's the same price as just buying both games together, and you can't even pick one of them to gift to someone like you could if you bought them physically.
It's only a scam to autistic neets who buy both versions because finding friends to trade with is impossible for them.
>because finding friends to trade with is impossible for them.
If that were the reason for doing it then they'd do
instead like they always meant to in Gen 1.
It's a scam.
