Why does noone care about how much Pokemon rips you off?

You're not supposed to purchase both versions.

Because it's Nintendo and people have nostalgia blinding them. Pokemon started out great but the lack of evolution is sad. They still sell so Nintendo only make minimal improvements like a high bashed series I.E. Call Of Duty.FlamesOfGrey

Pokemon in general is a conservative franchise even if B/W improved/changed it alot, but it hasn't declined in quality, while MW3 on PC is unplayable due to cheaters, the maps are mediocre, weapons are unbalanced and the SP is shorter than ever.

Pokemon is also a unique type of RPG, while there are tons of CoD clones/FPS games out there.

You realize there is online play so you can trade with people whenver you want and get every pokemon easily?

God, Nintendo haters are so ignorant. First the Kid Icarus genre argument the other day and now this...

You're getting tired of the Pokemon formula -- nothing wrong with that.

Doesn't mean the sequels are "bad". The latest CoD game is just that, bad.

I thought B/W was refreshing and one of the best games of the previous year.

guess tc never used the trade function.....

You DONT NEED to buy both games. Nintendo made all the Pokemon available through trade which is part of the game. I didn't realize this was a hard concept to grasp. Oh well, shows how desperate some people are to take jabs at Nintendo.RyanShazam

Hell, explain to me why even Nintendo fans disregard these games despite their nostalgia for past installments in their respective series?

Yeah, if Mass Effect or COD put out two versions with separate exclusive content, there would be an international moral outcry. Nintendo got a pass for doing it first.

I don't really care though.

I don't care because I'm not Ten years old.

Only if the exclusive content were those one time use password deals. If there were ways to trade content and weapons with other users there wouldn't be a need for such an outcry.Shinobishyguy

I think it's been demonstrated that the internet will cry out whether it's needed or not.

Just get the other Pokemon through trading lmao. TC wasting his money buying different colours and then hating.

No one cares because a rip off implies that you aren't getting your money's worth, when in fact you easily are with each game.

All franchises aren't created equal with Nostalgia some people will overlook staleness or reptitiion while others won't. Pokemon isn't terrible like Sonic 06 but it is stale formula. I know I pretty much play Pokemon out of Nostalgia. The main pokemon experience from game to game is more then similiar it's the same exact thing with slight tweaks (a battle tower here, some new pokegear there).FlamesOfGrey

Also, why do you still even BOTHER with Nintendo's stuff if you think they've gotten stale?

Besides, even if each long running franchise isn't made with the same amount of nostalgia, it's still a bad argument.

You don't have to buy both version, you're actually supposed to trade.

I haven't cared about Pokemon since the originals, I never liked any of the new ones. Tried to get into Pokemon Crystal or whatever it was and just couldn't take them seriously.

I have the feeling this isn't the first time TC has complained about the exact same thing.

"Ninty wants me to buy two copies of the same game instead of socialize to finish the completely optional collection quest! :cry: "

thats the point of pokemon, thats the way the game was built, you and your friend (or you find friends) have different versions which have different pokemons and you trade.

The objective of any industry is to make money. Way to go, Pokemon. NAPK1NS

Cause it's Nintendo, whatever you do don't say anything bad about Nintendo or the Fans will attack you for having a opinion. Alittle double standard going on, yes the two versions are to promote sales, but I agree it feels alittle silly that they are able to withhold content and slap it on another almost exact version.Blake135
