Pokémon Pirates Weep – “Aren’t We Customers Too?”

Never too old too play Pokemon
playing Platinum and Heart Gold since last thurs

I always get pirated games , play them , asses the worth of it then buy it if i liked it.

About 2 years ago when stranglehold was a "holy shit nice game" i played the demo and then bought the game ... only to be ef-ing dissapointed. However after that I played Mass Effect 1&2 Dragon Age (All) and Cs:S (and when i bought this from a store I got a bonus of 3 games :D : hl2dm,dod,hl2lc)

So my point is:
Get a game in a pirated way to test its worth THEN buy it. If you choose to buy it first and then weep about it then good luck in life.

All the big titels had a piracy protection lately.
It's just that they all seem to be cracked within a day or two.

They already patched it from what i heard. so whatever

"customers", LOL, a customer who take and don't pay for it, it's better off without them

Pirating is OK as long as Japanese do it.

“I can’t get any XP! Doesn’t Nintendo think us pirates are customers too!?”

HA HA WOW
It's amazing what pirates will say to justify stealing.

That's what those pirates get fuckin thieves. I can't stand them because they claim to be fans of the franchise yet they are stealing and not supporting the company who makes these great games. I hope it only gets worser and their entire ds cracks or something.

Meh fear not a fix ill be in the works.

Ironic how the no EXP anti piracy was cracked a few days ago.

Its pokemon if u played one u played em all. if u like it just buy it and dont complain when your ''free'' copy has restrictions its just a demo, now go buy the real thing

This such a non story.

I've lost count of how many Nintendo games that have used this process and they all get hacked in the end.

Breaking protection on Nintendo games is actually the shallow end of the pool.

That means no Moemon or Touhoumon Black and White as well? Those hacks are wonderfully fun. What are you going to do about THAT Nintendo?

I would think you guys would use some hot picture of the BW heroine...

I don't know what these people are thinking. It's definitely not the first time that a company has done something like this, and pirates sure as hell aren't customers. If you got it for free by illegal means, don't start complaining when the company decies not to support you.

I don't even get how they WOULD prevent exp gains. what it forces you to connect to an internet server from time to time? otherwise I see no way to make software do such a thing....how does it "detect" that it's pirated? Isn't that what proper piracy cracks are for?

cracker nerds will love this chanllenge.
and I say better having them spend their time doing those things thanmakign viruses >_<

well it just goes to show that pokemon now has become racist starting with black and white if you know what i mean

I hope someone picks up the challenge of clearing the game without exp :)

And then a few days later a patch was released that fixed everything.

The End

Anyone remember "Foreign thieves! Die!!!".
Does it make it OK if they themselves are the pirates?

I believe that those who blame foreigners for pirating Japanese games have no idea what they're saying.

When a game is set for release in Japan, the pirates abroad do not necessarily affect Japanese sales. Because these pirates were never inside the expected and intended release zone.

However, those who live in the release zone and pirate the software do affect the sales. I'm not defending the pirates, it's just that the blame foreigners receive for the decline of the Japanese manga and game industries seems misplaced and no truth has been truly been seen.

give it a week, there will be a patch to fool the game into thinking it's not using a flash card. Just like the patch for Zelda Spirit Train.

FFS! I'm sorry, all I'm hearing here is "WHAAA, I want to play for free, the programmers, artists, computer engineers and game designers are selfish and stupid and mean! Why won't the world accommodate a lazy, selfish thief like me?! I'll show them, when someone else way smarter than me just hax this! ...I'm so alone... "

HA!! what a shame those poor 2ch fuckers they're like dirt to me besides all my japanese friends know the difference between gaitaku(my own little nickname for us foreign anime lovers) and normal otaku If they can even be called that they were probably spoutin that same "go die" bullshit during that whole scantalation fiasco but look at them now fortunately I,m the bigger man and instead of reciprocating I,m just gonna shake my head at them

How hypocritical, really. They're no better than what they've perceived all westerners to be.
That's gott'a be the worst let-down, those anti-piracy blocks. Still, it's got to be rather amusing in some aspect.

Fave 2ch responses:

“Nintendo’s getting too serious!” - Honestly, if this is Nintendo getting serious, then prepare for the butthurt when 3DS is released.

“We can’t get any experience at all… a bit like our lives really!” - LMAO

They'd do well to remember that customers buy the product. After this fiasco, I don't want to hear them 'itch about pirating anything... ever.

2ch users can't enjoy their pirated Pokémon games... it must be the gaijin's fault!

Lol, Action Replay codes that give Rare Candies.

The only copy of Pokemon BW im getting is the US Version of Grey. Right now im playing the ROM with a patch so that i get EXP and advance in the story...just to get a fix for now.

Nintendo vs pirates...
Nintendo: 200pts
pirates: 0pts

GG sir!

Real pirates don't weep! They say RAAWR, MOR RUM and remove that stupid protection the hell off.

now you can gain EXP without worries.

wow even though the feature is effective hopefully not all games feature this. im not a pirate though i fear it might corrupt your game.

In order to be a customer you have to actually BUY shit, dumbass!

My name is Pokemon Pirate. You refuse to let me enjoy stolen merchandise. BAWBAW BAW BAW

Sounds bout right.

Oh, you should have been around last year when Heart Gold and Soul Silver leaked a day before the Japanese release date and someone on 2ch had a copy and an English site got a hold of the news... Let's just say that some of the later parts of the thread were...festive.

Better than taking away the devices or making them short.
Either wait for the patch or buy it right now, that seems really really fair to me.

I don't really give a fuck about playing it pirated but I like the pokesav.

"We can’t get any experience at all… a bit like our lives really!”

Best thing i've heard in a long time lol this guy is great.

By the time it comes to U.S there will probably be a fix.

The funny thing is that these are the same guys that said "ohhh reading online manga is thievery... you all deserve to die"

So... playing a pirated game is not thievery at all, is it? Losers...

“I can’t get any XP! Doesn’t Nintendo think us pirates are customers too!?”

from wikipedia:
Customer
A customer (also known as a client, buyer, or purchaser) is usually used to refer to a current or potential buyer or user of the products of an individual or organization, called the supplier, seller, or vendor. This is typically through purchasing or renting goods or services.

so NO they in fact don't BECAUSE YOU ARN'T

ITT idiots who don't read the numerous posts stating that this has been COMPLETELY BYPASSED.
