If i lost all my old pokemon i would be heartbroken. Even though i have traded most of them over i still dont like the sound of loosing my over 150 hour saves. Thanks for the heads upppp.

kamruk4375d ago

I heard about the problem a while ago and just thought myself, "enjoy it while it lasts..." thankfully I stumbled upon the tutorial by chance and got right on buying new batteries and opening up my old games :D

TheSuperior 4375d ago

"You gotta catch'em aaa-"
*cracking electricity sound effect*
"...You haven't caught any at aaalllll! POKEMON!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Majin-vegeta4375d ago

Surprisingly all my original GB cartridges still work from the first day i bought them.

Arnon4375d ago (Edited 4375d ago )

It's not that they work or don't. It's the fact that there's an internal battery inside of each cartridge that WILL burn out in time, and when it does, it's going to wipe all save files on that cartridge.

But that's good! So do mine!

:'( was devastated when I finally got a mew a few weeks later my yellow version save went corrupt...

f7897904375d ago

Yeah.... mine went bad and wiped my save a few years after having it. *rage*

kamruk4375d ago

SnakeCQC4375d ago (Edited 4375d ago )

TheXonySbox4375d ago

milohighclub4374d ago

BlackTar1874375d ago

SnakeCQC4375d ago

Cosmit4375d ago

I almost ran out of breath reading that sentence with no periods!

My GBA Pokemon Yellow, Ruby, etc. got corrupted a long time ago. I didn't care. I played through them and moved on. When I lost my PS3 saves twice, I mourned. I had lost all my Oblivion and Heavy Rain saves, along with a plethora of others. Now, I game on PC, as well. Cloud storage is nice.

Nobody says, "plethora".

Have you seen The Three Amigos?

RustInPeace4374d ago

"Jeffe (sp?), what is a plethora?"

HunterRose4374d ago

Perhaps you are angry about something else and taking it out on me?

MySwordIsHeavenly4374d ago

Haha. Thanks, guys! That's beautiful.

Pokemon Doesn't Need to Sue Palworld, It Needs to Get With the Times

The Nerd Stash: "There's been a lot of talk about Pokemon and Palworld recently, but if anything, Pokemon's new competition should be a sign to change."

Fortunately for Nintendo, the legal team is separate from Game Freak’s development team.

NotoriousWhiz84d ago

Unfortunately for us, as their legal team seems to be more competent than Game Freak's development team.

gold_drake85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

they do tho .. IF there is something to sue for. IP infringement is such a delicate thing.

but absolutely agree on the change

GoodGuy0985d ago

That, have longer dev time, and absolutely get rid of Nintendo as the exclusive platform. Imagine a AAA pkmn game on current consoles or next generation.

But money, they'll make billions with little effort.

badz14984d ago

you know that's never gonna happen

FinalFantasyFanatic84d ago

Gamer Freak, Creatures and Nintendo all have a stake in the Pokemon franchise, Nintendo especially will never let them go, I don't know how Creatures or Game Freak feels about it. Plus, the other two don't have a financial incentive to ditch Nintendo, they make mega bucks regardless. Although I think Nintendo should help Game Freak out more since they're clearly struggling, other they'll all just have to accept longer dev times and bigger gaps between games, or maybe just make some cheaper low-tier games in-between.

shinoff218385d ago

Idk yall. I'd take a Pokémon jrpg over a Pokémon with guns, online play etc. Plus wasn't Pokémon mobile pretty fking big like 4 years ago then covid hit.

--Onilink--84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

Even Scarlet/Violet had sold 24million as of early November (and undoubtedly sold even more during the Holidays), its not like they are currently suffering.

Yes, there are plenty of things I would like Gamefreak to do better, and yes I happened to like Palworld, but not because its a Pokemon clone, because its not, but because its a good survival game, something that I have zero interest for the mainline Pokemon games to become.

Most publications keep bringing up these topic ls just for clicks, because clearly the game is your typical survival game (most who do well on PC) with some Pokemon sprinkled in and not a Pokemon competitor, the core gameplay loop is clearly just Ark with dinosaurs swapped for Pokemon like creatures

And again, while I’m enjoying the game itself, I hope it doesnt set a new precedent for what we expect from game devs these days because, based on their other games, this developer really seems to basically just try to go as close as possible to ripping off other games without getting into trouble and then not really following up on those projects as promised (Craftopia players seem particularly angry).

I doubt they ever expected the discourse around this game to reach this level of popularity to push those insane sales numbers, and they actually take the opportunity to increase the quality of their work

FinalFantasyFanatic84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

I'm going to say something somewhat controversial, the last set of Pokemon games weren't that bad, it wasn't a great game, but a good game if we ignore the performance issues (and I personally didn't have many bugs).

They just need more interesting towns and NPCs (give them interesting dialogue, there's literally no reasons to talk to NPCs), interesting areas/locations (like the sunken ship and Bellsprout Tower), and some decent side quest, there isn't really any interesting side quests in those games, and fix the barely there lore for the game (Idk even know what was going on with those 4 "legendary Pokemon"). And maybe add less new Pokemon into the next game so they can transition more of the older Pokemon into 3D.

I think Scarlet/Violet had the potential to go from a good game to a great game if they implemented most of those ideas, but they also needed more development time to optimise the game as well.

Profchaos84d ago

Yeah agree id take a remake of red in the style of the links awakening remake any day of the week

Profchaos84d ago

No they don't I don't want any of the gameplay anywhere near Pokemon the only link between them is the idea of Pokemon except there's guns you enslave humans and Pokemon and there's a survival aspect.

Pokemon is fairly family friendly can't see Nintendo going ok let's give them m16s and slaughter each other
