they are not doing a collection. That is not what pokemon wants to do. It makes sense for them to sell games single. Also they not making Yellow, Crystal, Emerald and Platinum DLC.

Summary: “Classics are coming to Switch because…. I want them to.” There isn’t a shred of evidence to suggest that it’s actually happening. As a long time fan (and current 3DS owner with all the Pokémon games you can play on this system) I also hope that it happens but I won’t hold my breath

[@KeithElliott-zd8cx]

yeah, got pissed when he said 'critical thinking' as one of the 'reasons' we'll see pokemon ports. No, you fucking nimrod. "bro, it makes logical sense" doesn't make it any more likely than someone else going 'but i want it'. Companies make bizarre choices all the fucking time. Metroid prime 1 wasn't even announced when it launched, 2 and 3 nowhere to be seen, and they're actual projects, not just copium. Super mario 64, sunshine, and galaxy got released in a 'super mario 3d all stars' pack, that got discontinued before a whole year passed... We have ocarina, majora, and link to the past thanks to emulation, but not wind waker or twilight princess ports, despite loz being a major focus for the switch. And mario and zelda are definitely more important to nintendo. Not saying pokemon's not big or a crowd pleaser, but nintendo's mascot isn't fucking pikachu, and they even did mario dirty. I'll admit, nintendo seems more willing to do ports lately, more BC effort, sure. Hopefully the switch 2 might improve on that. But dude said it like we're utter morons for not expecting preorders by the end of the year, and had zero facts to actually back it up...

Theyre definitely getting away from pickaxhu being the main focal point. Theyve introduced a new type and hundreds of different pokemon. They changed their play style from a set area to an open world exploration. The newerr pokemon games are already a complete rebranding of the series and a lot of older fans hate it(which is where the majority of sales comes from with nintendo). What are you wanting?

[@WickedNox222]

You are assuming that the Pokemon Company and Nintendo are going to make decisions out of common sense and what the fans want. But I heavily argue that common sense is not common at all anymore, and modern corporations consistently try to avoid doing anything that the fans want on purpose.

[@bradhaley8432]

Especially considering that the Pokémon company has never acknowledged that both Scarlet and Violet were released in horrible condition. This is why im willing to trust both Nintendo and Gamefreak, especially considering that Pokémon legends Z-A is being pushed back in order to make it playable on day 1 and not have any repeat of the disaster known as November 18th 2022. Either way I'm not purchasing Pokémon legends Z-A on day 1 and this is the first time in 20 years that I'm not interested in getting a main series Pokémon title on day 1.

[@amaurapond]

Exactly, the concept of a bundle like this has been around for so long. While it would be popular, it would never happen. Their whole thing is wanting to "surprise" fans. Not to mention their open disdain for romhacks

[@AsherTheModder]

" and modern corporations consistently try to avoid doing anything that the fans want on purpose." almost like you live in a terminally online bubble 😂

[@KeithElliott-zd8cx]

Another problem with doing 'what the fans want' Is, the fans aren't a hive mind with one goal. It's conflicting desires. Even if you think 'well surely ports are wanted by like, half the people', maybe not. A LOT of people tend to bitch about ports and remasters slowing down new releases - even people cool with a black and white gen 9 remake, might be against like, 14 games needing work done to port them. Or even meh ports - one reason remakes can be interesting is new features. I kinda don't want to pay like 20 bucks just for firered on the switch... If it was a collection in a single title with trade potential maybe, while others might not care about anything but heartgold, but 60's too much.

[@WeeAddy]

There is 100% no chance they implement randomizer functions or nuzlocke options, etc. If they ever re-release the games they will be left exactly as is. They will sell either way, and additionally, there was those talks a number of years back how much GF consider even nuzlocking as "basically as bad as hacking." They're very particular on the games being played a certain way, it seems.

[@MLPIceberg]

It was The Pokémon Company Incorporated, but yeah, Nuzlockes aren't bad anymore, however it doesn't mean they'll implement such features.

At least the Big N won't delete it from your consoles. Unfortunately, they will sell you ports to every piece of hardware separately even though it's the same exact software.

[@fich001]

@@LegendStormcrow That's 1 game and that practice should be condemned as I said. But that's 1 game, there are million of games released and many more to be released which will not be removed like that. Publishers know this practice is frowned upon and that it would cost them money longterm since many more people will not want to buy their products in the future if they see games disappearing from their libraries. What I'm trying to say is that this is unreasonable fear of new techologies and thinking that big scary corporations are out there to get us. Just because it sounds possible because the medium is digital doesn't mean it will start happening. One game out of MILLIONS of games is so small of a percentage it is absurd to say that this will start happening on a grand scale. It will start happening if publishers want to start losing money, because there will be a backlash. And that's precicely why it won't ever happen on a grand scale. And besides, if a game is good, publishers want them in digital stores because it can still bring them money. I mean i bought diablo 2 and KOTOR 2 a few days ago and those games are like 15 years old. I would probably never be able to play them today if i had to buy a physical copy to own them. Digital is awesome.

[@GryynGlo]

There is no argument, no structure, no rationale or any actual reasons (apart from «the market is ready», «rom hacks are popular») for why Game Freak would release old games presented in this video. I truly honestly wish for re-releases of the older games, but I think Game Freak for some reason have decided not to release older games digitally. I would very much like to be proven wrong, but when pokemon day 2025 rolls around and there are no re-release announcements I’ll return here and say I told you so

[@redhotdiscoboy]

Yeah, I agree with you. Its cute and kinda pathetic to see someone with so much optimism, still. Game Freak is extremely unlikely to do this. Plus now that there is a potential soft launch of the switch successor coming up, this makes it even less likely, even for these potential games to appear on the new system.

[@Looking4HopeAnywhere]

I’ve still got my cartridges and have been carrying forward my collection since 2003. It’s fun to revisit the old games, but they definitely show their age. I miss the level of challenge in the old games, but the QoL improvements over the years are hard to play without now.

[@keithflippers4429]

@AmateurHEROduelist and at that point you might aswell not bother

[@BullShifter]

I think this is actually viable. You restrict each route to a pool of Pokemon based on their placement in former Pokemon games, create a system that only allows a specific amount of legendaries that can't be caught until a specific point in the game, and you pretty much protect any form of abuse so there would be no issue transferring these mon to home.

The Pokèmon Company doesn't care about the fans, so I'll believe it when it happens. All I do know though, is that any revised versions of the classic games which feature slot machines in the game corner would need to be removed to avoid earning a PEGI 18 rating here in the UK.

[@HangrySnorlax_]

[@Miguel92398]

One of the reasons why there are no longer newer GBA VC titles on the 3DS was because of the DS' built-in GBA BIOS load slowly and aren't able to go back to the home menu properly (yes, the 3DS still uses the Nintendo DS' programming, which also has GBA Slot support). In short, the 3DS loads GBA titles as a GBA console using the GBA processor and BIOS. It's not emulated like other Virtual Console releases (even the GB and GBC titles are emulated than running natively).

[@RiqMoran]

Nintendo have already confirmed in the past they are not ditchong NSO platform. Thus Ninty and GF stand to gain a lot from rereleasing on VC to take advantage of the massive installbase while they are busy focusing on next gen titles.

I think a classics collection would be great for both TPC and fans. TPC gets more money from it compared to putting them on the NSO, and fans will have a way to permanently keep the games. I do think it's wishful thinking to expect them to add modifications to the game, like randomizers and whatnot. TPC would likely want to stick with the standard games only.

[@CrazyMautty]

It won't happen, especially the 3/DS stuff. They've heavily pushed for players to buy the new games since the Switch came out and turning them into semi-live service and competitive battle focused platforms. I'm also pretty sure they also partly blame the weak SM/USUM sales on the release of the VC games at a lower price, especially with USUM from the release of Gold/Silver compiling the already hated 'updated' dual version attempt. The only time we're gonna see the classic games at this point might be if they continue the ill received 'remakes' decision of how BDSP was handled now. Not that it was a bad game in itself, just that previous remakes had set a precedant of being improved/expanded version of older Gens in the current Generation's format and the Chibi style, adherence to DP content while excluding Plat, and its place between SwSh which was already on the stake being burned along with the actually well received Arceus, it was a recipe for disaster. Besides that, the Gamefreak staff doesn't seem like it has any more enthusiasm for the mainline series or remakes anymore. Their side/Legends series looks to be their new passion that will end up getting the love as it seems they are getting to actually try experimental designs/changes that don't adhere to what I would guess are the somewhat strict guidelines/requirements for new mainline titles needing gimmicks, selling points, ways to integrate new TCG cards and tie in to sell merch, etc.

[@SegaMario]

Having a collection game containing Gens 1-3 is the best case scenario in my opinion. They're not gonna do things like add newer Pokémon to the old games - they won't go *THAT* far. They'll just have the same features as the 3DS VC releases, perhaps with being able to trade with friends online so we can more easily get those accursed trade evolutions, as well as having Gen 2 and 3's special events unlocked so we can get Celebi, Mew, Deoxys, etc. I highly doubt they'll ever do them, but being able to get Mew in RBY (probably as a 'Dex Completion Reward) and doing the previously impossible task of transferring from Gen 2 to Gen 3 would be mind-blowing, and we would finally see something GAME FREAK previously claimed to be impossible, possible.

[@SegaMario]

If GAME FREAK (or whoever develops the collection) are able to go into the code of these games, the QoL improvements I'd at least like to see are: -Better Pokémon locations in GSC - locking ones like Misdreavus, Slugma, Larvitar and Houndour to the post-game is *STUPID,* especially when at that point there isn't much left to do in the game. -A way to compensate for the Game Corner content since they moved away from that after Generation 4. Like maybe lowered prices for buying coins so we can get TMs and rare Pokémon much sooner. -I doubt they'll even touch them, but tweak some trainer teams and movesets, like replacing illegal moves and making Johto's Gym Leaders more worthy of praise by better representing their region. -As previously stated, a way to get a legit Mew in RBY, either as that one event Mew with the GF OT or one you can actually encounter and catch. Seeing as the Celebi event was enabled in Crystal's 3DS release, I can easily see them unlocking RSE and FRLG's special events as post-game rewards. -Being able to trade with yourself between games of respective Generations so you can get trade evolutions by yourself and/or complete the Pokédex.

@@galariangold Continuing to say nothing of value? 🤔

[@galariangold]

@@Iiamsixx I literally don't know what you're talking about. Is everything ok at home?

[@Iiamsixx]

@@galariangold Is this your way of saving face? Or are you really this bad at taking negative criticism?

[@galariangold]

​@@Iiamsixx to be clear, Liam, I am questioning what you are actually referring to when you claim I 'can't just say Pokemon on Switch 100 times in half an hour', because I didn't say 'Pokemon on Switch' 100 times, nor is this a half an hour video, leading me to question the basis of your criticism in order to further understand what it is you are actually trying to say. When you continued to respond to my questioning that I'm saying 'nothing of value' I began to question what would possess someone to take time out of their day to be so aggressive in a KZbin comment section, rather than just engage in an adult conversation. So then I expressed concern and asked if something going on with you at home could be the root cause of your behaviour. The criticism itself you are perfectly entitled to, of course, I just wanted to understand better and I hope you are ok. Is that clear enough?

[@MMoutoo]

Yokai watch was rereleased on switch a few years ago and Level-5 retooled their battle system to function on switch, yet stay true to the 3ds release. If Level-5 can do it, GameFreak can

[@heathholley2605]

I've been saying for awhile that they're definitely designing the Switch 2 with DS and 3DS in mind. The NSO retro games right now are halted at GBA as there's no way to conveniently port/optimize a DS game on Switch. I think they'll debut the Switch 2 with some DS/3DS ports to boost that console's sales.

[@Carribla]

Been hearing this for years. Nintendo sucks, and i refuse to buy anything else. Cant give us old pokemon games or wind waker, they're scared it will out preform whatever garbage they want to crap out

[@MJS-WarZ]

And here why I just don’t believe you tell I hear it from gamefreak themselves

[@haroldnecmann7040]

A big pile of 💩

[@JayThePhoenix91]

A master collection port on a cart is what the majority of us want, locking it behind the online higher tier service would be stupid, they could even do their 2 version gimmick with one from each pair on different carts and the 3rd games, crystal, emerald and platinum as a small dlc. Or do a fire emblem fates, you buy it but choose which game from every entry you want then pay again for their counterparts and 3rds

[@AsherTheModder]

Your copium is off the charts.

[@MyGamesterGaming]

I just wonder how many times they’re going to try to sell us the same games. I’d say if you want to play the retro games just play pokemmo. It’s free. Already won in court vs pokemon company so it’s here to stay! Don’t give game freak another penny for games that should come with the online pass!!

[@TheStickCollector]

And everyone would look real stupid when they don't come out. I hope so, mainly so that the special events and games are not locked to a 20 year old $180+ bonus disc.

[@moonlighthaven7605]

you had me at the colossuem being in the thumbnail

[@KiboGotBeats]

They would probably release each game separately. They know people would rather spend $40-$60 on a game than spend $150 + on old hardware and older used games.

[@nullpoint3346]

I'd appreciate all the old hardware getting new releases.

[@gork4035]

Whats the name of that synthwave track at the start of the video sounds like the oot synthwave cover

[@cathallynch1]

It's nothing less than gross incompetence that GF and Nintendo haven't capitalised on this long ago. The sales would be immense and to have an ORAS-style gen 1 remake would be massive.

[@im_justin_u9493]

We don’t need any more kanto remakes

[@coreywong6229]

We have like 2, the gba 3rd gen and lets go pika.

[@TheAbsol7448]

Honestly, I'd rather have a Gen 1 remake look more like the DS games. Or have it look like Square Enix's HD-2D games.

[@im_justin_u9493]

@@coreywong6229 kanto is also in HG/SS G/S/C do we really need more kanto it’s honestly one of the most boring regions to play through. If anything johto should be remade and fleshed out without kanto ruining its level scaling.

[@Sethafella]

PokePark would be wild! Maybe a PokePark 3 if the hype is enough??

[@sampicano]

I'd pay $200 for Firered, Heartgold, Emerald and Platinum on one cartridge.

[@CASyHD.]

thats called an R4 and costs only 10$

[@Clamtheclarky]

​@@CASyHD. Think he means a legitimate cartridge with the ability to trade

[@sampicano]

@@CASyHD. I find it disappointing on a card...you can't trade

[@AlexanderHewen]

I would love to see something like a pokemon world title, where you start off in Kanto and each year the pokemon company would release a new DLC that adds a new region to play like Jhoto and Hoenn etc until you have all the regions playable in the game. they could make it so you can only access a new starter in each region until you beat the champion of that region then open your boxes up to your previously caught pokemon to stop the whole over levelling issue. but to be able to explore the entire pokemon world in one game would be glorious, they could even add parts like the orange islands and locations not in the original games, lock certain gimmicks like mega evolution to certain regions and keep adding new regions into that game. and in future DLCs they could even let you pick a region to start in.

[@craigmcghee4]

I really doubt they will do any of this

[@andissn7907]

It's not happening bro. Customization topic is just insane. This would be peak, but old games? 😅 What Oddish are you smoking?

[@solomon0568]

They have no excuse not to bring Pokémon Colosseum to the Switch. owo Such an old game with a concept much could be had with. TwT But still one of the best all the same in the entire franchise.

[@KeithElliott-zd8cx]

the fuck does 'critical thinking' have to do with a god damn thing? Either they do or don't. Your thought on the matter, doesn't matter.

[@mysteriousgamer8941]

A pokemon classic collection would be a huge win especially with new game+.

[@bobjob2514]

Hmm… I don’t ever see that happening, but if I were king for a day… I’d hope to implement NG+ as a level 5 reset for all mons. It just wouldn’t be fun to play through with stuff that already beat the game/has no progression left. Even with stronger enemies, it just wouldn’t feel as engaging.

[@A_Random_Trainer]

This would be a great thing to announce at yhe museum direct later today

[@gingergreeney]

Let's Goooooooo, I really hope we get more classsic games I want to try them out

[@The_MEMEphis]

Just emulate them seriously stop giving this horrible company money

[@yoshigirl5760]

what i love about the new games is the open map its like being in the pokemon world & i love taking pictures plz plz plz add these in the remakes

[@Yeagerbomber]

Where’s the proof? Disliked. Stop speculating for views and make some real content

[@galariangold]

This is literally speculation content ya big hater

[@MarugaJakoji]

You already have 4K subscribers. Safe to say that you have reached your end of the year goal.

[@EeLyos]

The potential is so insane, if they keep the style but just implement new maps, update the interface bang in some simple cutscenes, put some cool quality of life updates implement gimmicks. Like the romhack prism. They could do so much more but decide to bring out the poop of poopest games and shut down cool fanprojects that have replayvalue.

[@gamesandgems1250]

I dont care about digital versions. I will only be intrested if it releases as physical games

[@Zortomm]

I never smelled such a quantity of hopium in my life

[@thegmanwiththegforce]

Don't play with my heart strings with that Gamecube game thumbnail

[@NightcoreDemon]

heard this news every year for the past seven years now.

[@NightcoreDemon]

they will literally never release old MAIN pokemon series games on the switch. Why the hell would they do that with switch 2 around the corner. If anything happens it'll be on switch 2. Which is more than unlikely since if they did that people won't buy the shitty remakes, such as bdsp. Which is the only way to get nostalgia drip fed into you without spending 100's on old copies and hardware and nintendo knows it. Business view they'd be shooting their own foots Fan view yay happy Which do you think they are going to go for??

[@MrLbaven]

Tara sands need to come to Rhode Island comic con this year.

[@dyllangames3592]

Only question id have is what are they going to do about their second screen?

[@superfrankytien]

To be fair, 30 years is significantly "sooner than I think" we'd get (as in never) but that doesn't exactly have me excited. I would caution people to not even slightly get their hopes up and if I'm wrong, then it's an amazing surprise.

[@TheViper4Life]

Morally questionable? Are we looking at the same game industry? Nintendo doesn't give a single rats ass that people bought them on 3DS. Theres a method to the madness, but it definitely has nothing to do with our feelings.

[@botztwelve5212]

Gen I-III in 2D-HD as a stand alone physical card, That's my dream

[@drm726]

Honestly, it’s really the gen 2 games in particular that would benefit the most from being on a virtual console due their battery issues. Even if you already still own physical copies, you still have to pay to get the battery changed out every couple years or it won’t hold a save file.

[@NoxisFlak-Heyhowareya]

I still use my 3ds. For classic pokemon games like red and crystal. The save file works on the 3ds unlike my gameboy copy, which is more a cool piece of history than a working game now

[@Rain0and0Thunder]

Depends on where you go as far as price for the old pokemon games, a retro gaming store near me sales them way discounted compared to online, it's just lucking out walking in if they have a copy or not. lol

[@Aquanios08]

This be some serious cope. As much as I’d love to share the same level of hope, it won’t happen. Nintendo has proved time and time again they will likely *not* do this.

[@joeb7325]

A Pokemon legacy collection would be great as long as there's a way to trade between different versions without having a separate Switch (i.e. trading between red, blue, green, and yellow. Gold, Silver, and Crystal, etc.) and the next gen can't be unlocked until you reach a particular threshold.

[@anchorage9562]

Already got an Anbernic to go play the old games 👍
