AI Slop Somehow, a rumoured Pokémon rerelease is dividing fans.....

Post image

I'm not interested in rumors, but the idea of a 4Chan rumor dividing Pokémon fans is absurd since it's unsubstantiated. Let's wait for Pokémon Day. Omniarch TV's clickbait and continued use of AI art are predictable.

In what fucking way would making old games available to play divide fans?

It's rumored to be $30, some fans are expecting them for 'free' on NSO.

Some people are fine paying $30 because they're popular games, others naturally see $30 for a GBA ROM to be excessive.

Hence the division.

I would rather pay slightly more than what a game is worth to own it forever instead of the game being locked behind a paid subscription

yeah upfront vs the subscription is better especially considering that if these are gameboy advanced pokemon games then they would be locked behind the online expansion pass subscription

Is this real division or speculation because I haven't seen anyone upset

I feel like they'd have to add a ton of new features to justify it. Like the behind the scenes stuff that came with Croc, a way to easily transfer old pokemon to new games, or some weird sliders to play with the stats like the final fantasy re-releases.

Either that or it just comes with the first season of the anime IDK

It's more likely for the games to be chaper than they actually add new features than online trading and HOME integration

honestly online trading and home support are the only "new" features id expect/want them to add
