158 Pokémon VS 380 Pokémon Yeah, definitely more variety

Datamine of the last couple of patches showed skeletal data for Johto Pokémon.

I think we need to not expect massive third party support at launch. Throughout the year, there will be significant support, but I think that launch is to be predominantly Nintendo and Nintendo paid for titles Unfortunately, that may make people discount the Switch as "just another Nintendo machine", so hopefully at the event next month Nintendo outright show all the support they're getting in 2017

PS4 Pro one made me want to join a cult. Cerny's voice is just too soothing and reassuring

If the PS4 Pro one is one, then you're a sadist :p

Well it's live so will probably be terrible :p

Mother of god... Yes

Good. Cartridges are better than optical media, especially for portable devices. Why is this an issue?

It's a different kettle of fish though. To get it on the Switch, they are essentially creating a new emulator for each game, tweaking it again, QA again and, most importantly, licensing again. That is costly. It's a lot different to how Steam is. They do though. Sony charge for PS2 classics from PS3 to go to PS4 and various other things too.

If there's extra work put into the Virtual Console like there was Wii -> Wii U, I'm fine with upgrade fees. Sony have done the same before. Why is it an issue when Nintendo do it? :p

Talk about taking things to extremes. Good grief. Again, I'm not saying the media shouldn't report what they find. I'm saying that ALL companies, if someone has leaked company secrets on such a level, will not play nice with those people. Doesn't matter if it's their job or not. If you can't see that, then you are blind to the ways of the world. Stop acting like Nintendo's just being silly and blacklisting people who leak. They don't do that (trust me, voice of experience here). It's the scale of the leak that has resulted in what has happened here.

So you think any and all companies just shrug off leaks of that level? I'm not saying what LPVG did was wrong, it's their job. However, expecting a company to play nice after you blow all their secrets is ridiculous and you guys thinking Nintendo should still play nice are just miles away from reality and how things are. Nintendo are a company, not a service, and they have every right to do what they have done here.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that if you leak things on such a scale, there will be repercussions. As I said, they let leaks slide for the most part, it's just the scale of LPVG's leaks has really pissed them off.

Companies shrug off leaks all the time. It's just the level in which Laura Dale has leaked that has pissed them off. You can't expect a company to give you free stuff and trips if you're going to fucking reveal ALL their insider secrets. Yes, it may be doing their job, but there is a limit to the amount any company can take and all gaming companies would do what Nintendo are doing if they had leaks of that scale published by someone. Be fair. It's not them throwing their "toys out the pram", it's them getting pissed off that their confidential material has leaked on such a scale. From what I have been told, they are clamping down even more with their staff as well so it's not them punishing the journalist and not finding the leak. (Yes I realise the irony that someone leaked to me that they're clamping down on leaks) If anything, I'd say that LPVG are being the childish ones. Crying about not being invited to the event and leaking stuff to get back at them. It's childish, and the way Laura Dale said she'll sneak in and demands they play nice is unprofessional. You can only push a company so far, and the "they're just doing their job" does not excuse the mass release of confidential information. Come on. LPVG pushed their luck and the company bit back.

Even Nintendo seem to be slipping into that mindset. Pokémon Sun & Moon has a high amount of glitches that could easily have been spotted if they had properly tested it.

Unfortunately, that attitude with publishers has all but destroyed quality control and we end up with broken games with the mindset of "Oh they'll fix it later" which is a terrible thing

I love this SOS Battle

Festival Plaza then select what you want to do, then it'll bring the list of online friends etc. for you to do it with No they did Indeed They are rare, but if you had a Pokémon with Static as your lead... Meh :p With over 800 Pokémon, it's a lot to learn. QoL improvements are nice. Just ignore it if you don't want it You can buy other version's clothes through other players in Festival Plaza

but it's not Sun & Moon You got Platinum in addition to the originals right? And B2W2? And Emerald? And Crystal? How is this different

I said a Sun/Moon port wouldn't be happening :p
