I laughed way too hard at this
I'm waiting in for the headline in a couple days or so:
Another hack at Gamefreak: Hackers upload fixed source codes
Unknown hackers have fixed the frame rate issues while upgrading the graphics quality to the level of the earliest Switch titles like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Forgot: “Nintendo is suing all of them!”
Lol, but Game Freak's code is spaghetti, to the point where decomps are easier to read than the actual source files.
Terabytes of the same game, just in different colors.
Sort of. The same game, over and over, each time in a different colour, each time with a higher pixel density, each time a little bit worse.

Oh no!
Anyways, is that new Palworld island any good
Good. Couldn't have happened to a worse company other than Nintendo.
Now people can verify if Gamefreak's excuses for not including all Pokemon in each game since the Switch games are real. And verify how low effort their games are.
Nintendo aren't the worst company. Not even the worst gaming company. Not when they have competition like Ubisoft and Warner Brothers and EA and Activision.
Of course, if it weren't for the presence of the aforementioned companies, Nintendo would be the worst.
As bad as they are, EA isn't sending lawyers to every fan project that revives their old games, they are just regular greedy, not petty greedy. Ubisoft to this day ignores Rayman Redemption too.
I mean they take like 33% of that guy named bowser’s life earnings. Which are severely reduced because they also got him thrown in jail for a felony.
That’s pretty uniquely evil

Time to clone mewtwo
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You get what you fucking deserve, Nintendo.
Not even close to enough but at least it's a start!!
In my head this is a retribution for financing hackers that attacked Internet Archive and nobody can convince me otherwise
Nintendo was responsible for that?
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.

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
Patent the code and sue Nintendo when they release the game.
You can't patent code, and it's automatically copyright protected. Nintendo just needs to prove they wrote the code originally, which should be easy.

Nintendo deserves only the worst for killing yuzu and ryujinx
Somebody had to find out whether there really was a Mew under the truck in Red and Blue after all.
Someone here recently blew my mind with this video, time for me to pay it forward.

I mean, people have already created the majority of their good games from scratch so...
Oh I promise you that isn't the point.
Don't nobody want that trash codebase.
Hobbyists have made Pokemon clones in their basement for decades. They never needed the source code.
If I'm not mistaken, there's an entire online RPG ran by hobbyists.
It's not about the code. It's about sending a message.

The people who will be most happy to have it would be the wiimmfi team and the devs running pokemon classic network.
They can finally see what the implementation of gen 5 ranked battles and game sync was, instead of having to reverse engineer it all.
Everyone else is probably only interested in asset data, Nintendo switch 2, or finding exploits for homebrew lol.

Do you mean natively? Cause the alternative already exists heavily
I tried searching for the new scarlet and violet games, most videos on yt were clickbait... Or I am just bad at searching

Pokemon could be made in RPG maker in like 5 minutes.
Pokemon Infinite Fusion is in fact made in RPG maker and is imo the best Pokemon game out there.
