I mean, people have already created the majority of their good games from scratch so…
Oh I promise you that isn’t the point.
Now that’s really interesting! I wonder where I can go to see this stuff…
Love how everyone in the comments are shitting on Nintendo and Game Freak lmao
i got a papercut on a playing card back in aught three
I swear to god, the Lemmy hive mind is even more intense than their predecessor.
That’s like whining that everyone hates Blizzard or Ubisoft because of some hive mind mentality. Could it be that maybe it’s just a commonly hated company based off their unethical actions over the last 10+ years?
No, if more than two people are mad at something, it’s because of the hive mind or Russian trolls.
Here’s the difference though: most people outside of Lemmy don’t care about Nintendo’s copyright lawsuits enough that it’s the only thing they talk about whenever they hear the name. The fact that every comment expresses the same thing is the part that feels like a hive mind. Some criticism of a large corporation is one thing, but how strongly Lemmy holds that opinion feels cultish. Blizzard’s leadership protects sex abusers and Ubisoft has had a work culture many describe as nightmarish for decades. Seeing Nintendo put on that level for something not even unique to them makes me think some of you don’t know what nuance or perspective are.
I disagree. Nintendo isn’t just some company that has legal beef and comparing their shitiness with Blizzard’s is like comparing apples to oranges.
Nintendo is a litigious bully and patent troll that has a long, long list of hurting the fans that love their games. They don’t just settle for cease and desists, they historically ruin people’s lives (see Gary Bowser). What feels even worse about Nintendo is the complete misaligned of their product/ brand vs. how they treat fans. You can point to similar companies like Disney and I say that yes, I would happily cheer on any misfortune that comes to them with the same fervor as Nintendo.
comparing their shitiness with Blizzard’s is like comparing apples to oranges.
That’s… what I said.
My point is supposed to be that Lemmy acts as a though they’re the devil, when in reality they’re just the regular amount of corporate shitty. All of what you said is true, and I’m not trying to convince you it isn’t. It just feels surreal how every comment in here is the same, like it’s the same person behind every username. I get no sense of individuality here, ya know ?
But that whole argument follows the logical fallacy “whataboutism” to downplay X because Y and Z also do bad things. Just because you perceive something to be in line with a standard baseline of corporate shitiness doesn’t mean it’s not worth criticizing.
As for individualism, it’s no secret that lemmy is somewhat left leaning which contributes to the general vibe. From my experience there is a lot more nuance and depth to the discussions that happen here when factoring in population size compared to other similar areas of the internet.
The wider Youtube community is pretty upset Nintendo is trying to get rid of Palworld.
Wow, everyone left another platform and were inspired to leave for the same reason, as a group. Now they’re showing extreme similarities in other ways! When will the madness stop??!
I know you’re being downvoted, but I had the same thought. I see more outcry over nintendo than other companies. Yes, Nintendo has done bad things, but if I were to go back and browse Reddit I feel like the level of hate on Lemmy is much higher. I have to assume it’s due to the open source nature of Lemmy and it’s ideals.
Yes, that’s nice and all…but have you tried typing out “Fuck Nintendo” in a comment?
They really, really, really, really earned it.
Terabytes of the same game, just in different colors.
Sort of. The same game, over and over, each time in a different colour, each time with a higher pixel density, each time a little bit worse.
Which is exactly why I stopped playing after Gen 2, which was the peak of the series IMO. If you want to see everything the series has to offer, just play Gold/Silver (or their remakes on the DS). No reason to waste time and money on any other Pokémon game.
Gen 4 was peak IMO, both the new Pokemon were excellent as well as the best remakes ever made. Gen 4 has Platinum and HeartGold SoulSilver which are the best games in the series.
I kinda agree, but B2/W2 was actually peak Pokémon. You should give those games a go, it’s samey but polished to rubbish-bag shiny perfection.
Radical Red and Polished Crystal are peak, in my opinion. I can’t go back to the lack of special/physical split, it’s just awful.
Have you tried Unbound?
I have! It was great as well. I think it’s my favorite original romhack so far. I’m planning on playing Insurgence next, although that’s a fan-game as opposed to real romhack.
I’ve got Insurgence, and Reborn ready to go as soon as I get through Unbound! I’m glad you’ve been able to enjoy these so much! As soon as Did You Know Gaming released a video about Nintendo taking down fan games and rom hacks, I immediately went and got as many of the more polished and lauded ones as soon as I possibly could! :)
Good.
Noooo what a tragedy!
Pokemon could be made in RPG maker in like 5 minutes.
Pokemon Infinite Fusion is in fact made in RPG maker and is imo the best Pokemon game out there.
If only I can figure out how to get it running on my Steam Deck.
Does it need an emulator or run as it’s own app?
Wonder if I can play it on phone
iPhone users are out of luck afaik but you can try your mileage with android if you have it.
https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/116NPjPnsosN3s4tg-LKN_IWZK990X8q6qL-V7OYtUUE/mobilebasic
It’d be a no brainer for me if it was just a romhack.
Gonna have to take a look at it
It’s made in RPG maker so it runs its own instance of RPG maker. Someone else posted a guide above.
It’s only intended to be played on PC but the guides are from other users who have done their best to come up with workarounds for various platforms.
I thought RPG Maker could do Android versions?
You can just follow the guide they made for it.
Gameboy studio in 30.
It’s a standard RPG but replace the equipment with animals. Done.
Now I kind of want a Flintstones RPG.
That’s probably something a person who has no clue about Pokemon could say. You underestimate how many mechanics older games contain, since like half of them are not obvious for casual players. Although I am not sure about gens newer than IV (Diamond and Pearl is the most recent I’ve played), since I haven’t played them. But most people agree that the best games were around that period (Gen IV, or V), and they only become worse over the years.
It is a menu driven battler that ran on a game boy. It doesn’t take a programming savant to write this, no matter how many mechanics you bolt on top.
You got me. It would probably take more than 5 minutes to do. You saw through my web of lies.
Hey! This guy’s a phony!!
Get him! He’s probably heading to the old mill!
Fuck yeah, going to compile me some free Pokémon!
Not a native speaker, but to me it sounds correct in this context, since it’s about the source codes of multiple games (versus the source code of a singular game/project). Similar to how “peoples” can be a correct plural when talking about multiple groups of people.
In my head this is a retribution for financing hackers that attacked Internet Archive and nobody can convince me otherwise
Nintendo was responsible for that?
It’s like Lenin said, you look for the person who will benefit… And, uh… You know, you’ll, uh… You know what I mean.
The Dude
Or „who benefits the most” from attacking Internet Archive? Big copyright holders whose content was distributed via Internet Archive. The reason given by the group claiming responsibility is so silly I don’t believe it.
For those curious, this account on Xitter claimed responsibility. Their stated reasons are indeed ridiculous, but I don’t at all have a hard time believing that people can be that misguided.

What was wild about this assumption?
deleted by creator
There’s motive and circumstances. Nintendo opened every possible front in the last year or so. Now this happens. Even if not related to IA specifically this definitely looks like retribution.
Also, please read my first comment again. I think I made it clear it’s speculation.
… nobody can convince me otherwise
Ignorance isn’t something to be proud of.
deleted by creator
yes, I assume that
That’s what I’m seeing, unless a documented source eventually shows up.
deleted by creator
Conjecture is not documentation.
What’s that source? You mean anonymous group claiming responsibility being reported in media?
You can believe what you want, but there’s absolutely no way you would be correct. Any large company sponsoring a cyber attack, if caught, would be nailed to the wall and made an example of. The extreme risks are simply not worth the comparatively small reward of reducing a tiny fraction of piracy.
A more realistic and reasonable avenue would have been to sponsor the companies going after IA for copyright infringement as a result of them loaning out unlimited digital copies of books without DRM.
This is a very valid point, yet companies do shady stuff all the time and some even get caught via subpoenas and such. Nintendo can do it in a way that will never be noticeable on their books for sure.
This is a conspiracy theory I’m completely behind. With all the moves Nintendo has made recently this was the first thing I thought when Internet Archive was compromised
Good. Fuck them. Steal everything of value from them.
It’s beta builds of old games. It’s only valuable to super fans who wanted to see what could have been.
There are leaks of 3 future games also. Gen 10, 11 and a MMO
I thought the leaker saw those and decided to not reveal too many details other than they exist? There’s a sentence about it in the article.
Can I already get my hopes up for some PC ports?
Technically yes but I doubt anyone would go through the effort only to be sued into oblivion.
There are a lot of fangames that contain regions and their Pokemon from original games, with some enhancements. You could try these.
Probably not, that’d be piracy, and I’m sure that Nintendo will sue them to hell. 😅
Tor
Tor is only as safe and as secure as the person using it.
Most people think just installing Tor and running protects them and their identity. Most don’t even look at things like DNS leaks or think a VPN plus Tor helps, that being said. Tor and Mullvad are probably as private and as secure as you can get by default.
This is bad advice. Using a VPN with tor makes you much easier to track.
Definitely, you don’t need a VPN. If you’re really worried about your first hop traffic standing out or being blocked, use the obfs4 bridges.
Most people don’t make a Pokemon clone and don’t need a Tor onion service to stop it getting censored.
@Dremor@lemmy.world and @simple@lemm.ee.
I’m surely talking out of my rear-end, but isn’t possible for an eventual developer to go the way of the SM64 port: having to provide a rom in order to get the assets? As far as I know, those responsible of said port haven’t been bothered by Nintendo.
I’ve been holding onto a pet conspiracy theory that BW2 was a last-minute change from Gray, loose ends and plot holes felt too rushed. Curious if the leaked source code will corroborate this.
Patent the code and sue Nintendo when they release the game.
Omg LMAO!!! This is actually genius.
It’s nonsensical, so not really.
You clearly don’t understand the joke
You can’t patent code, and it’s automatically copyright protected. Nintendo just needs to prove they wrote the code originally, which should be easy.
I hate nintendo
You can patent the features that the code makes up.
Also, Nintendo has patented features existing in other games long before, and it hasn’t stopped them. The current lawsuit against palworld contains patent claims for features they do not actually own, which is why they need 100 different lawsuits coming their way so they get a taste of their own medicine.
They have an easy time suing one or two entities, but 100 different ones will have a significant economic impact.
O boi
