      Never give Nintendo your money

      yes.

      they are devils

      yes.

      with subpar games

      no. There’s good reasons why nintendo games are the most pirated games.

      trying to justify thier games as AAA pricing. subtier console with subtier gaming. especially around pokemon games. gen 1-6 were good, but everything after that was just a disaster.

        It’s finally gotten way out-of-hand, even for me. Gen XI will be the first main series Pokémon games in 30 years I won’t be pre-ordering, let alone even buying. First-party Switch games were already way too expensive, rarely ever going on sale, and now we may be moving to an $80 standard. And it seems the main selling point of the Switch 2 in the latest Direct was a bunch of ports. At that price point, there’s no reason not to just get a Steam Deck and sail the high seas for first-party titles. At least Valve won’t brick my device if I hurt their feelings.

          Last gen was a bunch of ports too. New games didn’t start popping off until middle of the consoles lifespan.

          i dint buy it at the time because it was switch 400+60+ DLC, and nintendo internet+ pokemon perpetual cold storage, and then i heard every game got worst and worst. and it was difficult enough to put homebrew on the 3ds when that was available, because nintendo was constantly updating to break the cracks.

          and GEN 6 was already kinda dumbed down , but had enough content to keep going.

        I’m curious how close this guess is, based solely on the generations you mention as good; are you 28?

        Yeah, post gen-6 is where i stopped. It felt like the games were really dumbed down, and they leaned way too hard into 3d graphics.

          like i was literally laughing at post-swsh graphics, the models were randomly stretching, or there is an incomplete map, or the clouds are all terrible pixels. MASUDA clearly hates pokemon now. i think the biggest reasons was omitting most pokemon from the future games. people still bought the game, and they were complaining about it on reddit.

            The X and Y games set in the Kalos ( France ) region. Also the same generation they released Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire ( remakes of Ruby and Sapphire ( based on some part of Japan ) ).
