Nintendo thinks their customers are fucking dumb morons
I think Nintendo is right
Well... I mean, do you remember the height of Pokémon Go?
As much as I think nintendo and the pokemon company are evil shits, I do believe overall pokemon go was net positive for humanity.
The physical health benefit from all those people walking around, and the mental health benefits from said populations being more social and friendly with others won't ever show a statistic for lives saved, but I think it's reasonable to assume lives will be saved from extra exercise and positive social interactions.
I do agree, but it's too bad they ran both that game and the goodwill generated by it into the ground.
I remember when there wasn't much more to worry about besides a surge of people going outside with their phones.
Those were the days.
At least they added the speedometer so if you go too fast the game doesn't work.
Made playing the game on public transit impossible though :/
Or as a passenger in a car
Pokemon go to the polls
You mean the same people who in the same breath complain about the state of Pokémon and immediately follow up by saying they're going to buy it anyway? Those people? 😅
Then they know their audience. Source: Nintendo customer
Because they are? How many YouTubers are playing The Hot New Thing from Nintendo right now, because they bought it? They are the ones perpetuating this shit. It's all a feedback loop meant to suck as much money out of the public as they can.
I can go and find at least 6 YouTubers that I subscribe to that almost always play the newest of the new thing so it's featured on their channel. RTGame, Mo1stCr1t1kal/Penguinz0, Game Grumps, IronPineapple, VideogameDunkey, OboeShoes, hell even General Sam as much as I love his style and humor.
Game Grumps got in trouble from what I remember using emulators on old games haha.
I actually forgot that Game Grumps only play the newest of the new when it's from a particular series or something.
Why did they get in trouble? Was it with Nintendo or the fans? I kinda remember some "controversy" over them using emulators instead of original hardware, but imo that's bullshit. Sometimes old hardware isn't better, and all kinds of things can go wrong with it.
I wish I remembered...Im spacing right now and search isnt coming up with anything. I just remember there was a small stink because some game or another was too expensive? And they just emulated it but showed one of the screens? Its been many years.
Yeah, seems about right for some of the purists out there. There's a whole fucking subreddit dedicated to talking shit about them. It's honestly sad.
Like it's one thing to have a semi-parasocial relationship and call it "hanging out with your friends" but it's another entirely to dedicate time out of your life to get upset and angry over a goddamn YouTube channel.
You know there are Nintendo fans and then there are Pokemon fans. They have a reputation of not really being into games but being into everything Pokemon.
Yes, yes they do. And many are considering that they’re doing this.
