Worst case scenario, this thing needs rare imports from four seperate regions and manufacturing work requires special craftsmanship from Alolan Kahunas and Paldea's Pokemon League. The thing is probably just shy of a Kanto Bicycle.

The Mega Component can be anything that can house the key stone so that part ain't too bad. The Z-Ring was made out of special material in Alola but I'm not sure if that was ever stated to be necessary for it to work. A wishing star is needed for the Max mechanic. No idea how the Tera Orb works.

Well given the range of Digimon I think there is probably one out there for everyone lol

I haven't been following the new game too closely but from the looks of it it's an improved Cyber Sleuth, which means I'm gonna play it eventually. Without knowing too much I'd say it's at least worth a try.

I think Mario Maker was the only one that was really ruined or hurt dramatically by the lack of a second screen. Splatoon and AC both do without it quite well, and I don't necessarily miss that aspect of them even though it would be nice. Certainly not enough to prioritize it over the power up

I didn't think the Switch was too terrible in terms of power because, yeah, developers can certainly optimize for good results, but it doesn't mean there wasn't a pretty hard limit on them. BoTW, ToTK, and MP4 are perfect examples of how much this leap in tech was needed.

I feel like a second screen was one of the possibilities, but it definitely seems more gimmicky. I think 90% of games work fine without a second screen, and catching up on the actual power is probably the most impactful thing they could've done.

That's defintely true, price is inevitably a buzzkill to a lot of people, but literally everything else is above expectations

Makes even less sense given that the bundle basically puts Mario Kart down to $50. I guess they really want that bundle out if they're taking a, self-inflated but still, $30 loss on that

The new DK is standard $70, so for whatever reason, it's seemingly only Mario Kart at the $80 line.

It's circumstantial, I guess. I watched a video yesterday where they praised the soundtracks of the newer gens specifically over the older gens and haven't heard the Giratina theme, for example, talked about specifically at least since BDSP was new.

Really? Honestly, I feel modern Pokemon music is really well appreciated. Penny, Bede Marnie, and UN themes are heard constantly, and other stuff from 7, 8, and a little of 9 show up quite often. I think it probably one of the more balanced aspects of the series is that music from every Gen is loved

I'd argue Gen 4 didn't even need a remake, Gen 3 was really the last generation that needed any big changes to modernize. Regardless, the point now is more so keeping the games alive in the market, just having an actual way to access these games.
