Recent laws in Japan have criminalized console and game modding, as well as save file editing
What the flying fuck, Japan?
Yeah all of these are ridiculous but save file editing? lol. That’s insane.
Tendy doesn't like people giving themselves pokemon reserved for events
Predatory life-service bullshit before it was cool.
Nobody should give a flying fuck what "Tendy doesn't like" because they are not entitled to dictate what people are allowed to do with their own property.
The owner of a copy of a Pokemon game has every right to edit his save file, in exactly the same way that the owner of a paper copy of a novel has every right to cross stuff out and write his own fanfic in the margins. These are fundamental property rights that have been well-established for hundreds of years, that Nintendo and other megalomaniacal copyright tyrants are now trying to destroy.
I concur
While we're at it, game design patents are bullshit
Like all the abandoned event Pokemon that are in the files and never fuckin' released.
I used to hand out event cards for the arceus and gigatons flutes during Diamond and Pearl. Kids loved my store.
Hah. Fucking nothing better to do? We in the USA need to deal with our highest courts taking away women's bodily autonomy, but over there they are clearly focused on the real issues.
