Nintendo is doing and will continue to do gangbusters. They’re the Apple of video games. They aren’t screwing themselves, just you.

I bought a shit ton of games from Nintendo until their legal department went rabid.

Untouchable companies do fall, when they manage to alienate diehard fans, such as myself.

Their demographics are mostly kids. If your boycott, and mine as well, does something then I’ll be shocked. Happy, but flabbergasted.

People keep claiming this, yet I've never seen numbers to back this up. I'm pretty sure the core Pokemon fans are Millenials and older Gen Z's, not kids.

I mean, I played Pokemon with my kids. So maybe both?

Now we play Cassette Beasts - and soon Palworld - together.

Have you ever heard of Mario?

If that’s the case, I’m judging people pretty hard. I can’t even tolerate Pokémon dialogue

It's like adults who still love Harry Potter. Shit is cringe.

Particularly because the author is a bigot. Can’t even grow up enough to discard a mediocre series- one that is actively repressing people irl.

My boycott pretty naturally applied to my kids.

We were day one buyers for multiple copies of the last Zelda game, and the last couple Pokemon before Nintendo legal went foul.

Now no one in my family has a Switch 2, and my kids are begging me to help them spend their allowance on Palworld.
