kanto are great pokemon games if you don’t have someone born after 2000 yelling in your ear

oh

….. I’m so sorry

NO

Time comes for us all 😔

stop

we’re a year away from someone saying their childhood game was tears of the kingdom

pack it up I got a comment from someone saying the grew up as a kid playing dragon quest builders

Absolutely

everyone has to learn to market themselves and I don’t think they release they themselves are their marketable strength

indies are very much the people making them so the personable-ness is also the part people will latch on to

This is super disingenuous and kinda annoying btw

bit of an unanswerable philosophical question that misses the point of “the more that exist the harder it is to get noticed”

whichever the dev team’s consider failures are the failures, which I imagine the number increases the harder it becomes to get noticed

does not make it less unfortunate

I’m not worried about the one or two that breaks through each year, I’m worried about the 300 that don’t

Oh I definitely get why it was chosen but I appreciate you engaging regardless

Agreed and that’s why it’s such a bummer

Oh definitely, trends will always happen. I can just feel the saturation with the current trend.

thank you for this reply I was starting to think rougelikes were a popular genre

Agreed, but it’s usually the first few that pull it off before everyone moves on to the next trend that another indie game starts. Obviously I hope they all find success, but I feel like chasing trends has never been sustainable for anything.

Oh I definitely agree— it’s the new “procedurally generated environments”

but breaking out into the zeitgeist is the thing that’s becoming more difficult the more that exist

Indie direct time!! We’re watching the Japanese version

starting week 2 of my Pokemon FireRed playthrough for the FRLG book club!!

I have a feeling pokopia is gonna be like they perfected their craft

I’m excited about the potential 👀👀👀

They’re pokemon trainers too, so the NPC is saying they’re not serious and then uses bug catchers and hobbyists in a dismissive way by adding in “like” and “just”. He then follows it up by saying “but Brock isn’t like that”. He’s obviously contrasting trainers, not the bug catcher aspect.

Even if it’s not directly at them there’s obviously some self awareness here lol

Both and neither, it’s happening on my twitch channel! I just post about it here

what??? Now this I didn’t know!

Hell yeah!!!

a toothpick really does change everything
