>tfw servers legitly cost close to nothing to run
>but they still close down

Don't blame Europe, blame Gamefreak for being lazy pieces of shit. They should have replaced it with an arcade if they weren't so lazy and incompetent.

>>320675937
what is this?

>>320676049
Wait, what servers?
Also, what's the cost, just curious.

>>320675937
What happened here?

The game corner in HGSS was horrid.
The game was fine. The fact that you couldn't buy coins made it take fucking hours if you wanted a single TM

>>320676049
not a server thing

game corner was basically slots in the first three gens but then yurop fucked it up by having a fit regarding laws so they tried some shitty tile game or whatever in gen 4 and then just gave up entirely from 5 onwards

I fucking miss my slot games.

>Could turn it into an arcade with Pokemon Stadium minigames or something.
>nah let's just scrap the whole thing

Gamefreak: Squandering potential since 1996.

>>320676309
I know man. There was nothing like getting a Dratini in G/S.

>>320676309
fucking hell, what a world we live in.

He's probably talking about the servers for DS WFC. Not even 3 years after B/W2 and they shut them down.

>>320676593
Well that's because the company went out of business

>>320676287
Wasn't the game in HGSS a minesweeper reskin?

Goddamn I love me some minesweeper

>>320676941
Not exactly, but kinda.
It was legitimately fun.

>>320676083
Actually, yes it was your fault.

The Game Corner was called out as a form of gambling. They had to change this in English language versions as a result.

>>320677410
hol up. you cant even have virtual dipictions of gambling in vidya now? obviously im missing something, right. can you put real money into this?

>>320677948
>can you smoke a real cigarette from a gameboy cart?
No but it's immitatable

still dumb though, i dont think you can get an gambling addiction from fake gambling

>>320678650
id argue you could, but that the problem with you goes far deeper then that. if you cant tell the difference between reality and fiction, mate, it dosent matter if someone hides the world from you.

>>320676083
I would vastly prefer games like Poke-Skee-Ball using the touch screen, Poke-Pinball, and Whack-a-Diglett from which you win tickets for prizes.

>>320677948
it's not that you can't it's that it pushes the rating up
I'm pretty sure this is a thing in Japan too.

Gambling is illegal in Europe, so the Game Corner sections of pokémon where you play at slots and shit like that is not including on the European release of Pokémon games

>>320679628
Gambling isn't illegal, no. Stop misinforming people.

Allowing U18's to gamble or use machines which mimic gambling isn't allowed. Since Pokemon is not an 18+ game, it was removed to stop the age rating being pushed up.

That's all. It's the same in USA.

>>320679628
This is fucking bullshit, so stop talking.

>>320679830
But it isn't cuz we got to play the gambling games.

>>320679628
lmao, that's some retarded shit. Yet babbies can waste all their parents money on csgo skins

...in a game where you literally capture and enslaves creatures that humans used to consider their equals, and marry? THATS where they draw the line?

>>320680000
Checkeroo

>>320677948
it pushes the rating up and a pokemon game can't have anything but the lowest rating since it's for kids or it would kill sales

>>320680000
>literally admitting to being underage

Top kek.

>>320676696
Yes but as a business that wants to keep customers happy you migrate that shit to other servers instead of going "oh well not our fault 2bad4u"

>>320680287
>Not understanding past tense

I said got not get fuckface.

>>320680204
cartoon violence is much less likely to push the game's rating.
Actually, it only got added recently to the rating due to the 3D graphics making it slightly more "violent", pushing it from PEGI 3 to PEGI 7

nice quads

As a kid i thought for years I'd sweep the casinos when I was old enough because I was "good" at high odds video game gambling shit
I can see why it would bring the rating of a game up and be considered kinda unsuitable

I obviously learned my lesson when I grew up but I consider myself to be a somewhat educated individual that understands how chance works and how casinos are run. A less informed individual might have different results.

>>320680449
If the games weren't outdated, I'd feel you.
