Do We Need TWO Versions For Pokémon Games?
HTML-код

- The power of choice or some may say the illusion of choice that Pokemon games give players is a bit of an open ended case. So if you would join me, I wanted to take a look into the power of “choice” that Pokemon games give its fans when thinking about which version to get and wondering if it’s even needed anymore and how it could potentially be improved.

I don't think that they're doing it solely to keep tradition. I think they're doing it solely to make more money, and they're able to get away with it because of tradition. The only dual release I think was actually great was Mystery Dungeon Red and Blue rescue team, it totally makes sense to have two different versions for different systems.
Ya know I could see that but I'm hopeful lol
Dual versions was fine enough back when the games were handheld titles at a handheld price, but now that they are selling at full console prices on the Switch, it's a scheme that needs to stop... or at least evolve.
Something made very clear by BD/SP is that it is entirely possible to code these as games using only a single version designator to distinguish things like which encounter tables to use. While BD/SP hard coded that designator to each version, those remakes could have just been sold as a singular release with the player selecting which version to play whenever starting a new game. Especially on the Switch console, where each profile has its own save file, this could allow families playing on the same system to select different versions and trade with each other without needing to purchase multiple copies of the same game, and especially without needing to likewise double dip on the subsequent DLCs.
I'm fine if GameFreak wants to preserve the legacy of dual versions, but there's no longer any reason for that to involve separate cartridges.
Honestly being able to select a version still keeps the traditional Pokemon trading/community esq feeling alive. So I heavily agree with you here. As a long time fan I just got used to spending double if I were to complete/replay the games but its a practice that with a lil select menu or something along those lines... Well it would be much better.
Unless each game is VASTLY different of course.
I always just get both versions, anyways because I’m a hardcore Pokémon guy and I don’t see them stopping this formula.
As a longtime fan I agree, but it'd be cool to see them make substantial differences in the formula if given proper time to
There's no laws against the Pokemon Virtual. You can't stop it from happening.
Good Video
JOKER NO THATS A POKEMON!
(Thank thank!)
Wow. When I came to the comments after watching the video, judging by the quality of production, I was expecting lakhs of views and thousands of comments. Your channel deserves so much more! Keep going!!
Ahh thank you so much that means a lot ! I really try my best out here and I'm glad its paying off bit by bit
What if third versions came out at the same time as the first paired versions(like RGB on Feb. 27, 1996)? And all three had 3rd versions' improvements and new features?
I mean... Neat idea but it seems DLC is the way they want to approach these now. I'd be okay with the suggestion though!!!
I wish they did what BWB2W2 did with a lot more actual differences. it would ve so cool
Yeah it would have been! Genuinely would love to see sequel games more
@@VirtualMementoswha? No I’m not talking about sequels. I’m talking about the fact that the split versions for the originals and sequels were actually suepr different. to the point an entire city had a completely different song and visuals
Short answer: Yes.
Btw awesome content! So underrated. I hope you gain more subs!
Thank you so much
