@Roboticbones @JustmeRclol @NintendoUK Doesn't mean it's bad, for instance Crash N Sane Trilogy was a remake and it was brilliant

@NintendoAmerica Most of these games aren’t good. There’s a lot of really important titles missing and you’re barely updating the service. Please add good titles or let us pay for GCN games.

@child_tomato @JTintheSaunders @NintendoUK Yes, old pokemon games have the same problems with being too easy, or have you not played any other pokemon games?

@TonyTonyPeppy @dimentiorules @NintendoAmerica Doesn't mean they cant fix the fos and how empty it looks, but i wont call the game bad because they can fix it right now but who knows, some pokemon fans do the same of course

@_Rondo5 @JeffGrubb What does GamePass have to do with those guys anyway? If you are trying to make the argument that buying Sony or Nintendo games is better than GamePass... Whatever. I rarely buy movies anymore,it's more convenient to have a subscription service for me. 70 makes my choice easier.

@enzovexx @JoCwabba @NintendoAmerica But that is no reason. There are many other third party games on Online, the problem is Square itself.

@Scept3r_ @JuiceMan_V @NintendoAmerica People are so picky. They complained that mega evolutions was broken so GameFreak added z-moves in S/M then people complained that too many pokemons were showed off when promoting S/M so GameFreak slowed down and showed less when promoting S/S People want so much just to complain

@Protoscene @CumminHamLewds they've been complacent since emerald,ruby, and sapphire. churning out the same game over and over and over. nintendo is also stuck in the past. Both are more than happy to take the "If it aint broke dont fix it, innovate on it, or change it in any way" approach.

@Mevans2703 @CMination I mean we literally beat Goomboss in the Prologue of Paper Mario 64 and that didnt stop Nintendo from using him in the Mario 64 remake on DS or in Mario Kart DS. Same with the Star Spirits in Mario Party 5. Fawful has no issues being added. If a goddamn Chargin Chuck can play

@Kosmikat @azwah The problem with Zero was when Nintendo finally showed what the Gamepad was capable of it was executed poorly and was too little too late for that cause the Switch was on the way. Which sucks cause the visuals looked amazing for being on the Wii U and the OST was really good.

@brainwashedjoe @Kazoorion @NintendoAmerica A lot of people said the same thing about SwSh months prior to its release and they were completely right on launch. Come January and we'll have the same issues the trailer demonstrated.

@NintendoAmerica I don’t have any problems with the Box art. My expectations for the game are already low to avoid disappointment. It’s Sinnoh. I love Sinnoh. So I will still happily pick this one up.

@princesshylia25 @NintendoAmerica It's not an art style neither a problem of time constraints, it looks literally like a DS pokemon games with higher resolution. The artstyle was chosen in order to reflect this. I personally like it but again that's my opinion.

@NintendoAmerica And no you shouldn’t be “grateful” that Nintendo is locking hundreds of retro games from us and only drip feeding us NES/SNES games through a ****** online service. If they actually cared, they would’ve brought the Virtual Console back.

@LegacyYiyex @NintendoAmerica Oh I have no issue discussing that. Since my boys have to travel across the country to spend time with their mom, a 2nd Switch needed to happen. They both have a switch lite, access to home and mastered the starting the game with all 3 starters. Smart little dudes

@ScarfaceOne2 @NintendoUK delays dont make a difference with an incapable team like gamefreak. they could delay it a year and we still have lagging overworld pokemon and textures from 2003, because they are trash at optimizing and properly using the consoles hardware power

@Schaffrillas Wow, this is now the worst game ever made! How could Nintendo be so ignorant to leave out such an obvious error!?!? Nintendo betrayed me and ruined my childhood forever! 0/10!

@Glacial_Alt @PlayStation You're kidding right? An anti-consumer service that Xbox is pushing to the naive because they went 3rd party and want a monopoly is somehow killing it? Maybe in the sense that we all lose in the end, but as for the gamers? Nope. Playstation and Nintendo are doing great though.

I think my main issue with the new pokemon games is that they’re totally all gonna get scalped. Nintendo and game freak hasn’t done anything to stop scalpers in the past and now that Pokémon is the hot item to scalp theyre just not gonna stop.

@NintendoAmerica You know what would make the service more worth while? Other games from your handhelds of the past. GameBoy GameBoy Color GameBoy Advance Maybe even DS games Maybe N64 and Game Cube I get the feeling the price would just go up for this service though.

@NintendoAmerica stop tying this to your online service already... let us just buy the freaking games...

@NintendoAmerica Really excited for this game, think it looks very interesting, the only real problem I have from the trailer is the rendering of the pokemon, how like the character is only 30 ft away and the pokemon are moving at 7 fps. Come on guys.. it might be the thing that stops my purchase

@fusionmaster9 @unknownbobert @NintendoAmerica The issue isn't that there are people on 2 sides of an issue. Their obviously are. The problem is lumping all these people into one group and saying their opinion is flip flopping around everywhere, even if none of these people ever changed their opinions.
