back in the red and blue days ,only one kid had both versions and two Gameboys. His double Mewtwo team was unbeatable and if you tried to get him to trade you mons from the version you didn't have he would, but only in exchange for starters or legendaries. later on another kid got a GameShark and started handing out mews, and expressly would not give the first kid one, and it caused bad blood for a comically long time

This is fuckin awesome. I love playground lore like this.

Modern board games actually rule really hard, there's tons of fun and balanced and varied games out there.

A lot of stuff is that way without us realizing it.

I've always heard that they don't make 16gb, 32gb, 64gb phones. They make 64gb phones then physically limit the memory because it's cheaper to produce one thing and break 2/3 of them than produce three things.

I remember back when a really popular CPU was a triple core AMD, it was popular to try to activate the 4th core to see if they deactivated it for being defective or just to have more 3x CPUs to sell.

Re: Double Versions:

As hinted to by the thread this was a thing that was embraced kind of widely after the success of Pokémon and even if you didn't need to purchase "both" versions of that there's certainly an appeciated cynicism that you might have to for any other game that tried this. Or you might purchase the "bad" version which I think was the case with one of the MMBN titles.

Personally I've been a not-fan of Pokémon from the beginning--the entire concept is unappealing to me--so yes it's a bit strange to see people be suddenly bothered by something this time that's been present since the beginning here.

The Zelda Oracle titles did it pretty well since they were wholly distinct games that just happened to be released simultaneously. But I'm glad this is no longer a regular thing outside Pokémon.

Yep Zelda oracles are essentially not even the same thing at all, they're just two entirely separate titles with an added scenario if you link them.

That owned so hard. You guys think Nintendo or Capcom will ever release two full blown mainline Zelda games at once? What a bad rear end concept especially when you consider that they were actually trying to make THREE games

and every other game developer is looking to make their games into NFT scams, so we're all kind of doomed.

although Nintendo moves at such a glacial pace with adopting technologies, NFT will probably implode before they get around to it.
