Also design documents like the dude that mated with an octillery lol. The concept of people and pokemon breeding was still referenced in sinoh, but in a way tamer way.

Pokemon could be made in RPG maker in like 5 minutes.

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's a standard RPG but replace the equipment with animals. Done.

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

Now I kind of want a Flintstones RPG.

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

Gameboy studio in 30.

In my head this is a retribution for financing hackers that attacked Internet Archive and nobody can convince me otherwise

[–] ronflex@lemmy.world 25 points 9 hours ago

This is a conspiracy theory I'm completely behind. With all the moves Nintendo has made recently this was the first thing I thought when Internet Archive was compromised

[–] technomad@slrpnk.net 32 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Nintendo was responsible for that?

[–] misk@sopuli.xyz 45 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (2 children)

It's like Lenin said, you look for the person who will benefit... And, uh... You know, you'll, uh... You know what I mean.

The Dude

„Who benefits the most” from attacking Internet Archive? Big copyright holders whose content was distributed via Internet Archive. The reason given by the group claiming responsibility is so silly I don’t believe it.

[edit] I’ll add to this comment so that I don’t have to reply to everyone specifically.

I don’t believe that if you wanted to attack USA (as people claiming responsibility did) you’d attack it in a way that benefits big corporations most. It sounds like a flimsy distraction from true perpetrators.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

You can believe what you want, but there's absolutely no way you would be correct. Any large company sponsoring a cyber attack, if caught, would be nailed to the wall and made an example of. The extreme risks are simply not worth the comparatively small reward of reducing a tiny fraction of piracy.

A more realistic and reasonable avenue would have been to sponsor the companies going after IA for copyright infringement as a result of them loaning out unlimited digital copies of books without DRM.

[–] misk@sopuli.xyz 10 points 8 hours ago

This is a very valid point, yet companies do shady stuff all the time and some even get caught via subpoenas and such. Nintendo can do it in a way that will never be noticeable on their books for sure.

[–] helenslunch@feddit.nl 57 points 11 hours ago (7 children)

So you're just making wild assumptions?

[–] Dettweiler42@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

That's what I'm seeing, unless a documented source eventually shows up.

I've been holding onto a pet conspiracy theory that BW2 was a last-minute change from Gray, loose ends and plot holes felt too rushed. Curious if the leaked source code will corroborate this.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 21 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

Ive no interest but hopefully there are torrents soon for those who are interested.

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 47 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Love how everyone in the comments are shitting on Nintendo and Game Freak lmao

[–] Jomega@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago (8 children)

I swear to god, the Lemmy hive mind is even more intense than their predecessor.

Noooo what a tragedy!

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 32 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Good. Fuck them. Steal everything of value from them.

[–] Jomega@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's beta builds of old games. It's only valuable to super fans who wanted to see what could have been.

[–] Nexy@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

There are leaks of 3 future games also. Gen 10, 11 and a MMO

[–] Jomega@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I thought the leaker saw those and decided to not reveal too many details other than they exist? There's a sentence about it in the article.

[–] Akuji@leminal.space 29 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Can I already get my hopes up for some PC ports?

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

There are a lot of fangames that contain regions and their Pokemon from original games, with some enhancements. You could try these.

[–] simple@lemm.ee 15 points 9 hours ago

Technically yes but I doubt anyone would go through the effort only to be sued into oblivion.

[–] Dremor@lemmy.world 28 points 12 hours ago (6 children)

Probably not, that'd be piracy, and I'm sure that Nintendo will sue them to hell. 😅

[–] Akuji@leminal.space 2 points 8 hours ago

@Dremor@lemmy.world and @simple@lemm.ee.

I'm surely talking out of my rear-end, but isn't possible for an eventual developer to go the way of the SM64 port: having to provide a rom in order to get the assets? As far as I know, those responsible of said port haven't been bothered by Nintendo.

Fuck yeah, going to compile me some free Pokémon!

[–] TacticsConsort@yiffit.net 12 points 11 hours ago

Now that's really interesting! I wonder where I can go to see this stuff...
