So, want your opinion on that issue
Is it okay to emulate or not?
I guess it is okay in case you want to emulate old games cuz you might not have access to hardware, but is it okay to more recent ones?
For me it's:
>GB/GBA - acceptable
>NDS/3DS - not acceptable
Cuz you still can buy those on shelves
What are you using btw?

It's okay to emulate any Pokemon game, I don't emulate anything else

I own Fire Red, Leaf Green, Sapphire, Ruby, Pearl, Diamond, Heart Gold, Black 2, X, Alpha Sapphire, Moon, Ultra Sun, Let's Go Pikachu

And I still emulate the GBA/NDS games on my laptop often.

Yeah but what about Citra and stuff?
I have a poorfag friend and the only way for him to play pokemon is emulation
He insists on me dumping my 3ds and start playing on emulator due to it has network connectivity, so we can actually do the interaction via PC
I fell bad for it though, decided to ask here

Of course it is fucking okay, and not just for Pokémon for that matter, i own the games and i still emulate because it is more practical and i enjoy having it on my computer screen, my carts are basically just sitting and collecting dust since i caught em all and don't wanna mess with my real save files but you get the point, and if a game is REALLY good you gonna buy it anyway because it feels nice to own good things, i have plenty of games i emulated first and bought after the fact (possibly even several times due PORTS).

That whole "Piracy actually increases sales" thing wasn't born from fucking nowhere.

That said, you shouldn't emulate SM/USUM, but that is because you shouldn't even play them, because they are bad and not worth wasting bandwidth on not due any moral grandstanding.

They don't make money from the old games anymore, and 3DS emulation isn't up to the standard of the real games yet, so it's whatever.

Well, from what I've seen, 3ds emulation works just fine
Of course you'll need more than your mobile phone cpu/gpu to run it, but it's handling games pretty good
Except from sound, I guess

Once someone buys the game brand new GF has already made back the price of producing the game and also profit, besides the fact that used games exist which make no money for the company, so it’s pretty much pointless to set arbitrary lines about what is ok to emulate and what isn’t. That’s just my opinion though I buy the games I like once and sometimes twice for other systems. But when I got my hacked 3DS I wasn’t going to buy every game over again.

Emulate whatever you want, not only are you making another copy you’re making the game more accessible. Also Nintendo charges $60 for games years after release. They deserve it just go ahead and do it

Maybe if the 3DS games were actually good I would've paid for them.

Fucking BULLSHIT. The 3ds games have absolutely TERRIBLE resolution. Playing on Citra makes the games not make me feel like I'm going blind.

Your friend should work on his spending habits. No adult who would be interested in pokemon is incapable of saving 200 bucks for a 2DS and pokemon over the course of 3-4 months, no matter how bad their income.
If your friend is that hard up for entertainment, tell him to get a library card. All the books, movies, and video games he could want for free.

This. Sun and Moon look amazing on citra. I just wish there was an HD line mod. The Pokemon models look weird without the lines seperating certain portions.

That comparison is retarded, of course a 240p image looks shit when it's blown up much larger than it's supposed to be. 3DS games look fine on the actual screen they're intended for.

As far as I'm concerned it's acceptable if you can't or won't buy them flat out.

Only people who have intentionally put out bad games need to fear people who can't or won't buy them, not buying them.

See, if it's a good game they can and will be a vehicle for driving people to the game and may even actually buy it if they eventually can but it's a bad game then it'll get the slogging it deserves meaning they'll drive people away from it.

The same is true of all copyrighted stuff people attack over but there's a reason sites like Bandcamp and some of the people on it do so well even having the zero dollar option.

This. I have gone out of my way to buy games I have already pirated simply because I enjoyed them so much, I decided they deserved my shekels. Piracy is free promotion and a form of darwinism at the same time. Only disingenuous moralfags, greedy goblins, and insecure failures are actively against it.

Yeah, you have to beat both of the Gamecube games before you can trade in them. Or just use PKHeX, I guess.
