Sure, you CAN emulate it, but that doesn't mean everyone else wants to. Here are a few reasons why I don't always like to emulate: 1) Home Capability. For me it's such a good feeling knowing I "own" the pokemon that I am catching and can take them with me wherever I want to. Probably poor wording, but through emulation, you cannot take those pokemon with you anywhere else. 2) Sense of community. When fire red &amp; leaf green came out, suddenly EVERYONE was playing those games again, so it was fun to all play through on switch together and discuss our teams. When you're emulating, it's often an isolated experiences. 3) Access to previous events. While Fire Red &amp; Leaf Green were mostly the same game, they did give purchasers access to ticketed events that weren't on the original GBA cartridge by default. I'd imagine they will do the same for future releases. 4) Developers deserve to get paid for their work. It's easy to write pokemon off as a big headless greedy corperation, but the truth is, 99% of that workforce are regular people like you and I who go to work, stress endlessly, and go home. Game development is not an easy or glamorous life. While in the case of FRLG I am sure minimal work went into rereleasing these, the devs deserve to be paid for their work. I know someone would still read this and talk about how pokemon has billions of dollars, but they got there because people bought software.  5) Maybe they just wanna play on their switch. Not everyone has a back bone device &amp; playing on a phone with touch controls is very uncomfortable. For years I knew I could emulate games on my phone but never did because that's just not how I want to experience the games. 6) Supporting official releases sends a signal. If older Pokémon games sell well on modern hardware, that gives Nintendo/TPC more evidence that people actually want their back catalog available. Obviously buying one game doesn't guarantee anything, but I'd rather demonstrate demand for accessible legacy games than have the companies conclude nobody cares.  I am not anti emulation. I own an abernic DS and have a large amount of games on there. . .but if I have the ability to play it officially id rather just do that.]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 09 Sep 2026 03:49:29 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Question of the Week: What are your Nintendo Direct predictions?</title><link><![CDATA[https://mountmoon.net/topic/2054-question-of-the-week-what-are-your-nintendo-direct-predictions/?do=findComment&comment=3608]]></link><description>Can we get a new Chibi-Robo game??

Today we have the zelda direct . . .tomorrow, the general direct! What are your predictions for tomorrow? Try to keep it realistic, but if you really want something mention it anyway! :)   I'll go first (I have not looked at any leaks btw)  Mario Kart World DLC: I think it's about time. The game has been out for a year and Nintendo is usually pretty good about updating ever green titles. Super Smash Bros OR Animal Crossing: both are due for a release. I think we will get one but not both. I'd like to see Ditto as a super smash bros fighter, I think that would be super cool. He could turn into gravelor or any of the other in game pokopia transformations &amp; work like pokemon trainer. (I don't think he'd become other fighters) Pokopia DLC 2: It's time I think. If I had to guess, probably release in February.  A New Mario Sports game: they seem to do these yearly, so I am making a safe prediction  New Gamecube NSO announcements: colosseum dated, starfox adventures, etc I think Nintendo will bring back a ooollllddd IP that hasn't had a game in forever. Kid Icarus, Arms, Nintendogs, duck hunt, punch out (I think the last one was on wii???)  A New 2D Metroid: We're about due for this. Metroid prime 4 left a bad taste in peoples mouth and I think theyll want to correct brand perception with a bad ass 2d game. I did see ramblings about this a few months ago.  Ruby &amp; Sapphire on Nintendo Switch: I don't actually think this will happen tomorrow, but I did say we can mention something we really want. Pikmin 4 switch 2 edition: I think this is coming VERY soon and the reason being Pikmin 3 recently got a free switch 2 update but not pikmin 4??? WEIRD. Could it be because they wanna do a proper switch 2 version of 4?? I think they will update the switch online expansion pass with more free dlc, but for switch 1 games. Nintendo seems to want to keep increasing the value of switch online and while I don't think they'll do free dlc yet for switch 2 titles, I think they will add more switch 1 games. (for example animal crossing, MK8, and splatoon dlc is free if you have switch online)  TBH I don't expect 3D Mario tomorrow, but I do think it is coming next year.  I am also not expecting any winds &amp; waves news. While pokemon is often in general directs, I think gamefreak wants to do the next major reveal with a pokemon direct.  Would love to hear your predictions]]></description><enclosure url="https://mountmoon.net/uploads/monthly_2026_09/MMC-QOTW-2026-09-08_nintendo-direct.jpg.8a3b2e5c4fa30a8ae0ea297eb306ce11.jpg" length="147480" type="image/jpeg"/><pubDate>Tue, 08 Sep 2026 04:18:42 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Why Pokemon is done with remakes</title><link><![CDATA[https://mountmoon.net/topic/2051-why-pokemon-is-done-with-remakes/?do=findComment&comment=3604]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is why I believe Pokémon is done with remakes. I'm not saying they'll never remake games, I'm just saying why they're done for now. Prior to the transition to 3D, Pokémon games were pretty easy to develop and had small teams. When we got a remake, it just mimicked the style of the current generation because it was easy to do. Something interesting was said during a developer interview when Omega Ruby &amp; Alpha Sapphire were coming out. (I don't have a link to this, you'll just have to trust me.) Ohmori said they chose to remake Ruby &amp; Sapphire due to fan demand. This read to me like they didn't feel like they absolutely had to do another remake, they just did it because they felt people wanted it. Then came time to do Diamond and Pearl on Switch, which further pushed this idea. If you've read the leaked internal docs from two years ago, you know Game Freak didn't want to remake Diamond &amp; Pearl. Legends: Arceus WAS the remake. But they later backtracked and remade Diamond and Pearl because they felt people would be disappointed if they didn't, so they outsourced it, and then people complained due to it being a faithful remake and the chibi art style. With Pokémon games taking longer to make and requiring more time, resources, and people, it seems to me like they're just not interested in remaking a game to look "modern." If they're going to remake a game, they'd rather do a new experience like Arceus or ZA. Like, I don't think we're getting an XY remake. Legends: Z-A IS the revisit, and I would never expect a Black and White remake to ever come with a modern free roam art style.]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 07 Sep 2026 16:46:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What are you listening to?</title><link><![CDATA[https://mountmoon.net/topic/119-what-are-you-listening-to/?do=findComment&comment=3603]]></link><description>Hands Open - Snow Patrol</description><pubDate>Mon, 07 Sep 2026 11:42:10 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Question of the Week: What did you think of Pok&#xE9;mon Worlds 2026?</title><link><![CDATA[https://mountmoon.net/topic/2030-question-of-the-week-what-did-you-think-of-pok%C3%A9mon-worlds-2026/?do=findComment&comment=3597]]></link><description>This was my first worlds that I could attend, and I&#x2019;d gone to college in SF so I was somewhat familiar with the area. I also had the chance to go with my best friends who also scored tickets. Short of full out being cancelled, there was no way for me to NOT adore this trip. I had a fantastic time even though I could only attend Sunday. Missed out on the pin rally which bummed me out a bit, but tbh I do think the pin rally needs to radically change regardless. Whether that means giving out more pins at badge pick up, having an actual activity to get the pins (instead of just a massive line), or what I&#x2019;m not sure. I didn&#x2019;t get to do any of the interest list items, and while initially disappointed by this there was still lots for me to do Sunday to the point I didn&#x2019;t get to everything! I spent the entirety of my day at the venue, from 7:20 am until 6:20 (decided to go back to my hotel room to watch the finale, as everywhere at the venue was packed and my travel buddies were worn out). The news announced didn&#x2019;t surprise me, they&#x2019;re definitely saving any WiWa news for a direct (maybe the upcoming Nintendo one&#x2026;?) On the whole of it, I have to give the event a 8.5/10. I may be a bit biased though.</description><pubDate>Sat, 05 Sep 2026 20:37:25 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Question of the Week: What did you think of Pok&#xE9;mon Worlds 2026?</title><link><![CDATA[https://mountmoon.net/topic/2030-question-of-the-week-what-did-you-think-of-pok%C3%A9mon-worlds-2026/?do=findComment&comment=3596]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thanks to timezones and all, I couldn't tune in to worlds, but I tried to catch info about the announcements at least (have yet to actually watch any trailer though); I agree about wishing to hear anything about Winds &amp; Waves.

Instead of waiting for a restock and trying to beat scalpers and bots to checkout, collectors can enter a free drawing for the chance to purchase certain products. The first drawing was yesterday for a Prismatic Evolutions Elite Trainer Box at $69.99. Will you be trying your luck??? You enter during the available window, add your payment information, and wait. If you're selected, Walmart charges you and ships the product. If you're not selected, you don't get charged, and you gotta sit there sad. Considering Pok&#xE9;mon reportedly produced 10 BILLION cards between March 2025 and March 2026 and demand is still outpacing supply, I can see why retailers are experimenting with different systems. Personally, I think a lottery beats refreshing a product page for 30 minutes just to watch everything sell out instantly. &#x1F602; What do you think? Would you rather have Walmart use a lottery system like this, or stick with traditional first-come, first-served restocks?
