Purely 11/16/19 11:24:32 AM #1:	I'm surprised Nintendo has never been called out for this and they still continue this practice today. Selling one game as two different full priced games that have a few different Pokemon. Amazon today is selling a special double pack with both for $120. What a deal! Why is this still going on? No other game does scams like this. <cite>Purely posted [p:930218970] in Pokemon ga...

The different versions are basically just to promote trading. --- -Shred <cite>Blackstar110 posted [p:930219571] in Pokemon ga...

Kami_no_Kami 11/16/19 11:51:56 AM #9:	Purely posted... Why is this still going on? No other game does scams like this. Inaza Eleven, Mega Man Battle Network/ Star Force, Digimon World Dawn and Dusk, etc. Pokemon has trading as a core component of its gameplay. Whats the point of trading if theres just one version with all the Pokmon? There are many reasons to criticize Pokmon. This isnt one. It isnt Game Freaks/Nintendos/Pokmon Companys fault that people are willing to buy both versions so they can trade with themselves. The double packs could just be for purchases split between friends or for two-child households. <cite>Kami_no_Kami posted [p:930219920] in Pokemon ga...

DevsBro 11/16/19 11:55:35 AM #10:	Purely posted... Why is this still going on? No other game does scams like this. It did have at least one copycat in this regard. Megaman Battle Network had two versions of 3-6 just with a couple of navis swapped out, or even just a few chips. And Star Force has 8 versions between three games, though only the versions of 1 matter much for collection purposes and the versions of 2 come two-to-a-cart. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 <cite>DevsBro posted [p:930220045] in Pokemon ga...
