If I'm not mistaken, aren't the first 3D models Pokemon from the first 2 gens just copy pasted from Stadium for like all the future games up until X&Y?

Like, not saying they didn't have expressiveness but at the cost of that half of the mons looked straight up BAD.
Actually now that i'm thinking about it would it have been possible to retexture them or put new models on top of the old rigs?

People like these models because of how animated they are so surely they could have just edited the model on top like they did by editing Hau's model to make Hop.

Prices for second hand games can sometimes be rather bizarre at times.

I remember when I first purchased Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn during the days of the Wii, it only costed under £40, but now it costs £80 for a second hand copy which is double the original amount which is rather strange unless the game is very rare and hard to find today.

Honestly, the modern models are fine (and much better than still keeping that N64 Bellossom with square petals around), it's mostly the animations that kinda suck. But I will admit, Legends Arceus has gotten a lot better with that.

My biggest gripe with the modern models is simply how washed out the colors of the textures look. I still remember when I got that Charmander in XY and thought it was shiny because of how desaturated the colors were. They really should be more vibrant.

They'd probably have to remake the models from the ground up regardless considering N64 models are uh... very outdated and they won't be able to mask it up with high quality textures when the poly count is so low and the gake is HD.

And if they have to remake the models from the ground up, then there a very good chance they have to remake the animations because sometimes the rigging would be off and they gotta change that. Well, of course they don't have too, Tekken is king of reusing animations, and that's fine and all but let's be real some of them look super jank nowadays especially for old characters when you compare them to the new characters. With Pokemon, that's over 500 characters reusing and recycling old animations for game that's no where near as frantic high paced as Tekken, there's no way they'd get away with it because a lot of mons would look janky as hell. As for the Hau and Hop thing, they future proofed that so the animations are less jankier and much better to use.

TL;DR they are gonna have to remake the models regardless because of the low polycount (and because some mons would look ugly and out of place), and it's for the best they remake the animations because it's not gonna blend well with the new mons.

Considering copies of those games are no longer being printed by their respective companies and are tied to outdated hardware, it's only natural that the value would shoot up over the years.

Iirc I payed $80 for my copy of Radiant Dawn.

Why buy these games for absurd prices when you could buy De Blob for 4 Dollars (plus $4.75 in shipping)?

Idiots

They should make this a MFT (Mildly Fungible Token). You can funge the token a little, as a treat. I'd buy it for 1 million eterium
better idea than having a Twitter NFT pfp

Dang, I just did the math and I could have bought 9 copies of De Blob instead and still had $0.14285714286 left to spend on something else.

It just occurred to me how weird my humor gets when I'm on caffeine.
That's a Australian Shephard mix. They're known for being particularly tech savvy dogs (I once knew a one who'd troll by posting offensive jokes about cats on Twitter)

My sister's dog is a schnauz-pekin-oodle-errir, which are notorious for their technological illiteracy.

I'm shocked you didn't know this, P.

I don't think most people would get the latter joke since it depends on very bad math.

Or Pacman Movie in Badass style would be cool.
Imagine Rock portraying Pacman and Ghosts are gonna be portrayed by Chris Pratt (Blinky), Amber Heard (Pinky), Elon Musk (Inky) and Clyde (Frank Welker)

At 12:21 of this set, Hero gets a grab exactly 1 frame faster than Roy. Not exactly crazy or cool, I just like looking at these little “mini” interactions.
