So I recently found some of my old DS lite pokemon games after years of not even knowing where they were and out of nostalgia wanted to move my favorite pokemon over to my best save file but was surprised to find that that is now impossible due to the lack of servers or any connectivity between the older DS lite games for that matter. I looked it up and there is now literally no way to transfer any of my old pokemon over between the games without resorting to cheating or hacking the game or wasting money that I could be using to feed and clothe myself on buying the dumb new console and virtual versions of the old games and redo EVERYTHING.. (over 900 hours of my childhood rendered moot, time I will never be able to make up for because I'm an adult now and have responsibilities and cant be playing games 24/7) My suggestion to Nintendo is to, in the future, if they haven't already begun this process, maybe consider making their games able to be completed without the need for wifi? possibly add a bypass mechanic for unlocking things that would require wifi or some other sort of gimmick like that that will be unusable in 5 years, so we don't have to *** our devices and risk corrupting our data just to finish a *** game. (think of the old gameboy versions of pokemon, they can be completed 99.9% aside from mew without the need to cheat at all) Don't forget that some of us hold onto games like that far past the time when they or their successors come out and always come back to them because of the love we have for those games, it's not just a game that you complete and toss aside, waiting for the next one, like call of duty or sadly how the assassins creed series developed after ACIII. I only ask that Nintendo have some respect for the nostalgic old school gamers who have watched the company grow into what it is today and supported it the whole way through. In their attempt to cater to the younger generation, they are forgetting that all ages enjoy their games not just children and it would be sad for this new generation to also face losing all their progress when they grow up. I want to love Nintendo, I really do, I've enjoyed so much of their work for so long but stuff like this, it just makes me sad. Their gimmicks and concepts need to be thoroughly scrutinized to see if they will stand the test of time. I only suggest this because it could be a way to keep customers happy and coming back for generations, and it would just overall improve the company as a whole if their games could stand up strong even after decades (like my old fire red and leaf green versions).
