>bongs trading pack of potatoes
this is very irishphobic

awesome veiny-dick grass

This is the best looking pokemon game to date. Look at all those fine details. You can see how much care and attention went into every sprite. Incredible.

>enemy trainers actively hide in the wilderness and have a cone of vision to spot you

a game that doesn't even exist is the best pokemon game.

I'm just here to remind you all that cuts are necessary for the game to look like this

Why don't they hard reboot pokemon in a monster hunter like world with only gen 1 pokemon?

god this looks like garbage
so glad we're not doing pixel shit anymore

>What could have been
Is OP retarded?

>instead they decided to cut everything AND make the game look like shit

>she doesnt even look at him
fucking hell its the third part of a unity3d tutorial

but seriously I am the only who thinks the game looks so fucking terrible and unfinished and like if it was meant for the 3ds?

What would Pokemon look like without the perversion of copyright?
Continuing with Pokemon as an example, let's imagine for a minute that copyright worked the way a modern researcher determined would be mathematically optimal - 15 years automatically with no renewal.
arstechnica.com/uncategorized/2007/07/research-optimal-copyright-term-is-14-years/

It may seem crazy, but let's roll with it.

Copyright begins at publication. For Pokemon, this was 1996 - but not all of Pokemon. Some elements did not premiere until later. Therefore, certain elements would enter the public domain later than others. For example:

1996 - Pokemon Red and Blue
2000 - Pokemon Gold and Silver
2003 - Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire

Hypothetically, these ideas would enter public domain 15 years later, in:

2011 - All 150 Pokemon
2015 - 235 Pokemon
2018 - All Pokemon from Ruby and Sapphire

This means that, by 2018, anyone could publish their own Pokemon game using every character, region, concept from the original games (like Red and Blue, Pokemon Snap, and Stadium) and have it available for sale on the shelves of Gamestop. And any producer with the funds could greenlight any game.

Just like that, suddenly entertainment business would need to compete to bring us the best possible Pokemon they could. Bethesda, Sony, Konami, EA would all be sending scripts to Veronica Taylor and Ikue Otani - tripping over themselves to write the best story they could create - trying to convince them to take the role. Copies sent off to Satoshi Tajiri for that incredibly valuable "author approved" signature.

>Pokemon Red and Blue would still be made, and print shittons of money
>Pokemon Leaf Green and Fire Red would still be made
>Pokemon Soul Silver and Heart Gold would still be made
>Pokemon Diamond and Pearl would still be made
>Pokemon Black and White would still be made

You guys are very original

You're in the wrong thread.

fair point

People are excited for this? Look how boring and barren the open world is. In fact, it just looks like a fan game

What did we get in 2018 instead? Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! And everybody got tricked into spending $60 for it.

Which version of 2018 would you prefer? As it is, Nintendo can offer whatever quality they want - even if it's garbage. They have a monopoly on the property. They could decided tomorrow that they don't want any more new Pokemon. They could sit on the property for 50 years, publishing nothing - no new books, films, games, nothing - and there's not a thing we could do about it. A cornerstone of our culture...complete control.

Wouldn't this be unfair to Satoshi and original creators? No. Fifteen years is a long time.

>By 2018, Nintendo's annual income was $1.79 BILLION
nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2019/190425e.pdf

Not bad...an entire generation of fans had thanked them for adding to our culture by giving them a huge pile of money. And, since the property would be free to anyone there would be nothing stopping Nintendo from continuing to sell stories from the world they created. As a bonus, anything with its name attached would always have the advantage in game sales.

Another example to look at would be J.K. Rowling. Fifteen years after she published Sorceror's Stone, Rowling was already so tired of being a billionaire
businessinsider.com/jk-rowling-is-no-longer-a-billionaire-booted-off-forbes-list-2012-3 that she donated $160 million to charity. Again, not a bad trade for enriching our culture by sharing her idea. Fifteen years is a long time.

Now, now Switchlet, let's find something that's more...appropriate for you, ok?
