Have I missed anything?

 

[TheCJBrine]

Seems like it's a brand new Pokémon based on its eyes, but idk. Maybe that's something else or a weird third eye.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

edit: nevermind that's its horn and I'm blind.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Eh, it ain't worth it.

Nothing makes me more paranoid than being tagged in a post and then clicking on it and seeing the person deleted it.

Like. I wanna know what was said.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Tonight on Smashboards: A Pokemon stream that shows absolutely ****ing nothing except for the head of Celestabellebethabelle Rapidash, and people debating over whether or not Gooigi is edible.

That black part is the second horn.

I think that’s the horn

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Ponyta came out of nowhere and snorted at the camera.

if this whole ****ing stream was for a ****ing horse, why not just made a damn reveal video and not waste our 24 hours

Yeah, it SHOULD be about how one of Nintendo's producers thinks Yoshi is everything

Granted it was in context of a Wario equivalent of Yoshi, but it's still hilarious...

 

[TheCJBrine]

Dang that's a weird perspective.

But yeah I just saw a clip so I'm back on the Ponyta train. Kinda looked like some weird MLP hat...but yeah it's the horn with fluff around it.

 

[Shroob]

I will say though, we're what, 12 hours into this and we've seen a single new Pokemon?


Like I said earlier, it's cute but not 24 hours worth of cute.

 

[BlueMonk]

I don't think that's ponyta, I'm gonna have to be #TeamFake on Galarian Ponyta, sorry folks, that's my stance

Really shoulda been like, two hours at the absolute max.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I'm just waiting for Grookey's final evolution to suddenly show up and beat the protagonist trainer over the head with a stick while teaching them a lesson about how one should learn from the past rather than run from it.

Like. I wanna know what was said.

Sorry, here ya go.

I wasn't saying it should go on sale.

but no I don't know what that is.

It's not very important but there's a standard usually set that games should be sold at a certain price based on development and production costs etc.

Right now, judging by inflation among other circumstances, we SHOULD be paying around $120 a pop for games but we all know that that's not going to go over very well with the general gaming public.

And then we go on to wonder why Developers and Voice Actors don't make as much as they should.

Edit: look at it this way. The MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Refail Price) is set by Nintendo depending on the wage and budget Nintendo has given to Grezzo to moae the game. Japan doesn't really have Unions so if you see a bug game selling for say $40? It means that the wages that the developers are getting paid is very minimum. Blow that up to some of the biggest games like Monster Hunter World where millions of hours of technical investment and achievement was spent on that game but was still sold for $60 which probably means that the payed wages of it's employees were... rather bad. So, Nintendo paid a small studio a healthy amount to make a, by most purposes, an easily developed game. Capcom paid around that same amount to their employees to make Monster Hunter World which had a much larger team and much tougher development cycle. See what I mean?

Basically what I'm trying to say is we're basically getting a steal on games still selling at $60 the same way they were sold in the 80s-90s and yet we still ***** about it.

We're literally going to ***** people out of their jobs.

Alright, I'm going to bed soon, if anything happens during the Pokemon Live stream, can you ping me please?

Well ponyta just came back up a lot better on the camera

 

[BlueMonk]

I will say though, we're what, 12 hours into this and we've seen a single new Pokemon?


Like I said earlier, it's cute but not 24 hours worth of cute.

I don't think they expect anyone to watch the whole thing

 

[Z25]

I’ll say this if it is just galarian ponytail, rapidash better have a damn evolution

 

[Kirby Dragons]

I tuned out of the stream after the first hour and a half or so.

I don't really care about games selling for $60. That's fine.

I just thought it was a Nintendo diss ¯\_( l__l )_/¯

 

[Aurane]

galarian ponytail

I'm sure that's a hairstyle.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Sorry, here ya go.

That’s why I don’t generally complain about DLC and micro transactions. In fact... now that I think about it.... I really don’t know why I complained in the first place. Those Crash and Spyro games being sold the way they are probably says more about Activision and their practices than Nintendo.

Like, for a little bit it does look bad on nintendo’s part when games like that are selling as cheep at they are. It does make them look greedy on the surface. But then you think about it. You start to realize exactly what allows Activision to sell those games for that price. And Nintendo doesn’t look as bad anymore.

No yeah, it wasn't pointed at you. It was pointed at these people's tweets that are trying ng to say that Nintendo is robbing then or whatever they're trying to say when developers are humans that need jobs, y'know? It's like we just assume that video games make themselves until we hear that developers are underpaid and we demand higher wages for them, but also refuse to pay more for games. It's hypocritical and ignorant and no one realizes it.

 

[Aurane]

Well. Now I'm in a conundrum. Do I stay up another two hours to witness another sighting or go to bed?

I'll stay up... but god damn, it better be sooner this time.

 

[Deleted member]

G I V E M E AN I M A G E NOWWWWWWWW!

 

[BlueMonk]

If Link's Awakening was 30$ I'd probably get it, the price is a valid complaint when the remake doesn't really add anything of note over the original besides enhanced visuals

So, wait, are you seriously implying Activision is better than Nintendo because they bundle their games occasionally?
I mean, I know you hate Nintendo, but that's going a bit far, considering the greddy pieces of **** Activision has become.

 

[Shroob]

I don't think they expect anyone to watch the whole thing

I mean, sure, but then why have it be 24 hours?

We're pushing 13 hours and we've seen at most 1 new mon.


It's a cute concept in theory, but horrible in execution.

 

[Aurane]

G I V E M E AN I M A G E NOWWWWWWWW!

Besides the image above, here's one that shows its face more.

Its Ponyta. Nobody try to bull**** with me on this. Its undeniable.

 

[TheCJBrine]

G I V E M E AN I M A G E NOWWWWWWWW!

There was a problem fetching the tweet

space unicorn.

soaring through the sky.

what are the other lyrics.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

It was completely remade from the ground up. Not to mention all the new heart pieces and a new dungeon maker.

Like I said the ignorance of why games cost the way they do and what makes them cost that is baffling.

 

[Aurane]

space unicorn.

soaring through the sky.

Snorting in the ****ing camera

Giving me a big ol' scare-a

I think she's saying the opposite actually.

No. I’m saying that they’re WORSE because of those bundles. How many employees are being cheated out of their paychecks and benefits so they can sell 6 games for $40. How many regulations are they skirting. How many taxes are they avoiding.

Like. On paper, 6 square for square remakes for $40 makes Activision look better than Nintendo selling one square for square remake for $60. But then you realize why they can do that and you realize that it’s still the other way round and that Activision is actually worse.

 

[Shroob]

I will say


Galarian Ponyta is adorable


It's pretty much a mixture of Celestia and Pinkie Pie design wise from its just general appearance.

I get that

but why would I pay 60$ to play a game that I could get for 6$ on the 3DS

maybe from a dev viewpoint it makes sense but as a consumer it would be hard to justify that purchase

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

I'm back from my afternoon and evening out with a college friend. What's been going on in here?

oh my ****ing god, I misread that post so badly lmao.

My apologies, I really need to get some sleep.

 

[Aurane]

Phantump was now much closer than before.

I'm concerned.
