How much would this upset you, gaijin? Enough to stop playing Pokémon altogether?

You can, once you've bought Z and the Hoenn remakes. You still won't have any event legendaries, but if you ask a Japanese player really nicely, he might let you borrow some.

It's better this way, really. Gives the legendaries an aura of mystery.

I've never seen a single Hoenn episode

IIRC, they've only re-uploaded the Transporter app. The Bank should be up again soon enough, with the Western release date being TBD from now until the Bank shuts down.

Only people who already have the Bank can get the Transporter btw. Pretty sure a lot of Japanese are butthurt about this too.

Why should they? You don't see a lot of American or British developers catering to Japanese players. It may feel like the Anglosphere is big and important, but the reality is that most of the world doesn't speak a lick of English. Should we cater to everyone by translating our media into fifty different bongo-bongo languages?

Sit down, shut up, and be glad Nintendo consider us a worthwhile market.

That doesn't make it a universal language. Only 38 percent of Europeans speak English, as well as a tiny, tiny fraction of Asia. Are those insignificant continents? How pleased do you think these people are, always getting sloppy seconds from the English-speaking entertainment industry?

We can't please everyone. It's important to focus primarily on your local audience, and that applies to the Japanese as well.

It's not an excuse to cut off an entire fucking market because "m-muh honourable yamato damashii". If you're a major company with enough resources to localise fucking anything, you have no excuse.

This is what pisses me off about Japanese game companies. I mean even the Koreans have more fucking sense to be less shut-in and autistic with their global market policy.

Youve got to be kidding if you honestly dont think English speaking countries are a big market.
I mean, it's all of the US and a large chunk of Europe

>most of the world doesn't speak a lick of English.
A large number of countries have their students learn english as a second language. It's arguably the most wide spread language. (Not the most spoken, thats Chinese, but it isn't very spread throughout the world)

"You're only more than half the market, so why would it make sense for us to release it there?"

Are you people serious?
There's no way that they haven't already translated the program. And even if they haven't, it'd probably take about an hour. Seriously, how many lines of text does Pokebank have? 50?
They just have to press the release button and money flows in. If anyone seriously thinks the language has anything to do with it, they're retarded.

To complete the dex you'd have to trade for all the Pokemon unavailable in your game, which in future gens will likely be 400+
Plus you'd have to trade if you want to use any of those Pokemon competitively.

I wouldn't care at all. I only battle on simulators so I don't have any competitive mons worth a damn. I do complete the pokedex but I usually wait until the third version and by then they'll have rereleased all the missing mons anyway.

You seriously expect the third version to have the several hundred mons that the other 2 didn't?

Japanese players are honourable. There are players who'll exploit the free trial, but most of them will pay the fee once their time's up.

No, by your shit logic. All I implied was there's really no monetary incentive.

Its to appease babbies like yourself who'd rather run around with 3000 hack Mons then play the game. Total fan pandering and nothing more.

In fact it could be argued the days shop was down lost them more money then the service will even generate losing sales for two peak days of digital purchases.

Using the free trial as it was intended is not exploiting it.
Plus it has nothing to do with "Honor", and even if it did, do you forget it's mostly 11 year olds playing?

And, even if it only make 5,000 a month, it would still be worth it to release in America, because translating it to english probably costs them about $8

That's still no reason to limit your audience. In fact, Bank failing everywhere but Japan is likely to hurt Pokemon's reputation more than anything, which affects future sales of merchandise and titles.

And it's not like new people aren't buying cartridges by the time the free trial period are up.
