under communism, there will not be "yearly pokemon games" - there will be one pokemon game per console generation, which will fall in line with the implementation of the nintendo seven year plan.

this single pokemon game will receive a yearly free expansion-sized update which will contain some combination of new regions, 100+ new pokemon and/or new mechanics per update, and quarterly free patches/QOL updates

also the removal of the battle tower/battle frontier was revisionist

I doubt it. Using the analogy of the East-German car, the Trabant, the game will have a very low price by mandate, which isn't able to cover the costs of development, which, in combination with very little allocation of further funds, will lead to an absolute crawl in terms of development.

If you want to experience your dream update cycle, play No Man's Sky, they have been releasing free content for years now. Java Minecraft is also consistently releasing new updates for free.

The material conditions of East Germany are definitely applicable to an imaginative world were global communism is achieved and people still want play new pokemon games because communism bad or something.

East and West Germany is the closest we've ever come to being able to directly compare "communist" and "capitalist" dogmas. With everything that is already going wrong with government-led initiatives, it's ludicrous to assume that a completely government-controlled society would have alot going for it.

Under communism, we will invent a time machine that will allow us to perfectly replicate East Germany in every country across the world centrist

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is pretty much what they're describing and it gets multiple updates a day. People don't need to be paid to make cool things they like if the materials are purely intellectual. The internet used to be populated by lots of open source applications like that.

This jokester thinks you need to pay people to motivate them to make a pokemon game

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Under communism fan made games will be allowed to exist.

Under communism, there will be one open-source Pokemon game that keeps getting updated with new features, way too many features, so many that we'll all be relieved when they make an inverted modpack system that lets you download someone else's idea of what features should be disabled. The prevailing feature set will be an open world thing, but there will be a few popular linear story ones, so many that you can constantly play new ones of those if you're willing to lower your quality standards a little.

There will be far too many Pokemon, because anybody can make a Pokemon. Community groups with wildly different structures, from a coop made of ex-Gamefreak employees, to artist houses, to self-appointed rating boards, to community voting contests, will all accept different Pokemon and make packs of them to plug into the Pokemon game. Different people will consider different groups of packs to be valid. The mishmash of these will be so confusing that people make a wiki to track not just the packs and pack-making groups, but also the common ways that people decide which packs are canon. The talk page for "Are Digimon Pokemon?" will be locked due to perennial flame wars.

(This is the future if you imagine open source software and game modding but with way more people and time.)

evolution path

Under the new People's Regime, Pokemon games will be liberated from the hellish yearly development cycle.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

under Communism the military budget will become the pokemon budget. The funding will ensure one high quality pokemon game or spin-off a month

You know what, fuck the manager! Where is the CEO? This account keeps having good takes, this isn't supposed to be like that!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Scarlet and Violet really hurt considering how much I loved the character designs, Pokemon designs, story, music, etc.. But it was still a rushed, unfinished mess.

Just bring back Pokemon contests.

hillary Pokémon GO do more testing and optimization before release.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I have always been interested in what would happen with board games and card-trading games and the like in a communist utopia. It's never going to be relevant for me, but it's a fun little thinky thought to have once in a while

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Under communism, fangames won't be shut down by Nintendo's lawyers disgost

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

under communism, game freak will be confined to the gulag indefinitely until they learn to have enough employees and how to program 3d games, and i'm super down for it gamer-gulag

Is this entire instance satire? I really can’t tell.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

This is a joke post, and there are lots of jokes here, but we are legitimately communists.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Satire? Huh? Communism is the future and i will fight in the revolution in the name of real life pokemon

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Yes, it's satire. We're actually all Coromon fans here.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

We're actually all 4chan users who've all been roleplaying as queer communists for years and reading and talking about communist theory and stamping down on racism, queerphobia and ableism all as part of an extended bit, it's pretty funny ngl, liberals keep thinking we're actual communists instead of just right channers who've spent years learning about socialism so we can be extra well trained to try and start random drama
