Terabytes of the same game, just in different colors.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago

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.

Next headline "Hackers disappointed that the hacked source code is apparently just the same as the last 16 games"

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

I laughed way too hard at this

[–] [email protected] 124 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nintendo was responsible for that?

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (8 children)

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

Source code is only for HG/SS and B2W2, so we still can't verify anything about the newer genes

Patent the code and sue Nintendo when they release the game.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

Somebody had to find out whether there really was a Mew under the truck in Red and Blue after all.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Someone here recently blew my mind with this video, time for me to pay it forward.

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (10 children)

Pokemon Infinite Fusion is in fact made in RPG maker and is imo the best Pokemon game out there.

That's probably something a person who has no clue about Pokemon could say. You underestimate how many mechanics older games contain, since like half of them are not obvious for casual players. Although I am not sure about gens newer than IV (Diamond and Pearl is the most recent I've played), since I haven't played them. But most people agree that the best games were around that period (Gen IV, or V), and they only become worse over the years.

[–] fsxylo 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You got me. It would probably take more than 5 minutes to do. You saw through my web of lies.

I mean, people have already created the majority of their good games from scratch so...

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

Oh I promise you that isn't the point.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 month ago (14 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

They really, really, really, really earned it.

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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Forgot: “Nintendo is suing all of them!”

Don't nobody want that trash codebase.

[–] GhiLA 44 points 1 month ago (13 children)

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.

Noooo what a tragedy!

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (6 children)

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

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.

Clearly I've been out of the series too long, what the fuck?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

This is what made it in, but there are more of those myths that do get pretty dark for this series that was uncovered in that hack, also a beta build of BW.

Oh no!

Anyways, is that new Palworld island any good

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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.
