3DS stinks mate, just look at SM and how much it was held back by its ancient hardware.

>>31367197
It was held back more by Game Freak's incompetence?

>>31367197
it's not the 3ds that stinks. It's the developers. GF is a shit developer that just got lucky with Pokemon. Literally everything else they've made is at most. DECENT

The major complains about SM were performance related.

And that's Game Freak's fault you fucking dumbass. The can't optimize for shit.

>>31367197
3DS install base is huge. Switch won't come anywhere close to those numbers for years, if ever.

>B-but muh specs! Switch is objectively the superior hardware!

Do you really think Gamefreak cares? 3DS is where the money's at.

>>31367249
That's at least in part because SM are coded less efficiently than a high-school java project.

There's so much roundabout nonsense in here that there's no way the game wasn't rushed. Even Gamefreak's not this bad at coding. The huge holes in the structure make it seem like they were just coding the barebones while leaving room for the additional features, then got told "cut it off where you are; we're shipping what we can".

The 3DS is outdated, sure, but it should've been able to run SM fine if SM was coded anywhere near efficiently.

This. Wasn't there an interview with Matsuda where he specifically states the newer games are made with the idea that the average person can't spend as much time playing the game because they have a lot on their plate/not enough time? I remember reading something like that as the reason why gen 6+ doesn't have the same amount of stuff to do as previous gens post game.

They've got to have local connectivity, right? Well, either way, I still don't want to have to shill out 600 dollars just so me and my girlfriend can play Pokémon together. They should have kept handhelds and home consoles seperate.

>>31367479
From a business point of view: "Oh this is the only home console without a paid subscription! It's more cost efficient! Save money! Fuck Sony and MS!"

>>31367509
exactly

>>31367501
Yes. And it's a stupid reason because if they don't have enough time then they just won't play the game. Don't water the game down for the more hardcore part of your fan base just because the average person might not have enough time to get to it.

>>31367036
here's your reply

>>31366987
Nips mostly play offline. So for them, evolving Graveler means going to some place where other people are with Pokemans, and ask someone to trade evo with them. Done.

>>31367647
>Nips mostly play offline
u sure about that anon?

>>31367647
Kek. Online is so much easier. You don't even have to move.

>>31367617
I agree. The series hasn't always been the deepest but it was a nice feeling to pick up the game after beating the league and go, what now?

XY had nothing I think aside from Maison. ORAS had delta but then straight to the Maison. I've just finished the league in Moon and made it to the Battle Tree but I'm really hoping that's not just all there is to it.

Most of those had third versions or remakes (GSC). Nowadays we don't even get that or good remakes.

>>31367790
RBY GSC had the gotta catch' em all appeal.
With RS, that shit immidieatly died because you couldn't even complete the dex. After RS, which had 0 post game and 0 pokedex appeal, FRLG came out with post game. Emerald then came out with post game. Then came DP without post game. Platinum and HGSS had postgame. BW had no postgame. BW2 had post game. We were finally starting to see a pattern, but then the 3DS threw the fucking ball and we received 3 shitty games with no post game in a fucking row.

>>31367066
I also doubt Pokémon will come to the Switch anytime soon, but is it really convenient for Nintendo to release a handheld anytime soon? They're trying to sell the Switch as a home console that's also portable, a new handheld would seem redundant.
I hope Pokémon will stay on handhelds by the way.

>Be at the top of the traditional handheld market

I can't help but wonder if the Yakuza runs pretty much the entire Japanese video game industry and has decided to scrap everything, starting with these meltdowns because it would be too suspicious otherwise.
It's the only way to explain the sheer retardation being displayed by so many high profile companies at once.

I mean, we all known about Konami's blatant affiliation and how Nintendo used to make gambling cards for them. It's not unprecedented.

>>31366987
What? Was there something I missed from the Switch stream?

Whatever, ill pay the cuck subscription but ill pirate the games once CFW becomes available on it. I never pirate but ill make an exception in this case as a big middle finger to Nintendo for fucking up multiplayer and trades on fucking pokemon

>>31368904
You think that's bad? Try Starbound.
>Early Access
>Release Date 2013

>>31369425
What does the Yakuza have to do with this? They have that much power that they can brainwash even the most sensible person into full retard mode?

>>31369659

The crazy theory is that:

>Most Japanese game companies, not just Konami, are actually Yakuza fronts and have been for a very long time
>For some reason or another the Yakuza bosses want to pull out of this industry, so they're ordering their fronts to go full retard
>This way it'll look believable when everything get shut down and sold off

>implying Masuda won't keep Pokemon online free for the sake of connectivity

>>31369425
The traditional handheld market is shrinking everywhere while the home console market is still going strong outside of Japan, it's no surprise Nintendo is trying to latch onto the latter by forcing the former consumer base into it.

And most people don't care about paid online, especially when the vast majority of people's first experience with it in the west was paying for Xbox Live or individual MMO subscription fees.

>>31369869
This. I have a hard time believing game freak will develop a main line pokemon game for a system with a subscription service for all online features.

How many interviews have you seen where game freak employees harp on and on about how the game is about connecting with people and playing with others.

Plus, Masuda has gone on record saying he dislikes cashgrab stunts like amiibo.

>>31369984

>the vast majority of people's first experience with it in the west was paying for Xbox Live

I'm in that boat and still hate paid online.
Though I'm probably in the minority considering I come here.

>>31367126
Anon, I want to sincerely know, for real. Do you believe wholeheartedly that this is good, or are you just posting bait to trigger anons? I won't judge you either way, I promise, I'd just like to know.

>>31369984
>forcing the former consumer base into it.
>forcing consumers

Nothing will go wrong with this :^)

who said just in the case pkmn would be on the switch in the future that game freak will put pkmn into the nintendo servers? game freak got own serves and they will most likely remain free even when te paid subscription arrives. little big planet 3 on the ps4 also got own servers while other games required a paid playstation plus account

>>31369984

I really hope it won't die. Having a home console is too problematic for me. Handhelds are small and can easily be carried around.

Here in Burgerland our weapon of choice is a gun, you sheltered child.

Everyone seems to really think the next main line game will be in switch. I wish i could be so optimistic. It took Gamefreak this long to reach Sun and Moon's standards of non SD character models and cinematic driven story. I really can't imagine them pulling a full budget console release game out of nowhere.
