lol ark I hear skanky thrown around here as well, I just thought it had the same meaning, didn't even think of there being a british-english version

i guess it's pretty much the same meaning except here it's almost exclusively used for women and more or less means dirty slut

it may mean that over here too but I've unintentionally generalised the meaning, it's not like you can look it up in the dictionary

ummmmm, urban dictionary

you know what would be really rad as a game for mobile devices? Tamagotchi Pokemon. You could level them up with games and evolve them and do all sorts of stuff, and it could count your steps to get more points. It'd be like the pokewalker, poffin game, and that new thing in X/Y all combined, on your phone.

wonder if we'll see pokemon on phones

DJGrenola

I suppose it depends on how keen nintendo are to keep making handhelds

been wondering that myself. it's complicated because nintendo doesn't own pokemon outright, so it's mostly up to game freak

DJGrenola

and a touchscreen would be good enough for that style of game

How much legal trouble could I get in if myself and some buddies actually made this secretly and just distributed it secretly until it got popular. Like how hard could they trace that back. Just host it on a couple offshore servers, share it around /v/, wait for kotaku to make an article about it, it could gain some traction.

Awhile back they said apple's iphone was their biggest competitor for handheld gaming, which makes sense since kids can just play minecraft and shit on their phones now

i think their plan will become clear once the nx is revealed

DJGrenola

ah ok, I didn't know that (game freak)

yeah there's plenty of emulators on mobile devices now, you don't even need to root/homebrew/jailbreak your phones to get them "legally" through the app stores. It's super easy to play pokemon on mobile devices, if Nintendo/GameFreak published them officially they'd make a killing

DJGrenola

2015-05-29 07:58:59 pm

yeah I mean phones are taking over everything, pretty sure they're by far the biggest class of internet connected devices now

hell just look at Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy that got released on mobile devices, those were a huge hit. Even Baulders Gate is on mobile devices now.

and I use mine tons, even in the house

my guess is nintendo will use phone games to introduce kids to nintendo properties with smaller games, but the full experiences will be on the nx, which is both a console and a handheld

but that's all conjecture

yeah same. I don't even access facebook on my desktop computer anymore.

I actualy blocked it on my desktop computer because it was too distracting. thankfully I'm too lazy to go into my hosts file and unblock it.

haven't heard of nx at all actually, is that the name of their virtual store thing now?

DJGrenola

2015-05-29 08:00:55 pm

yeah that's a common opinion I think

it's their next game console, to be revealed in 2016, and that's literally all we know

Hmm, very interesting. Wonder how soon we can get some leaks about it. It seems like the WiiU didn't release that long ago, and it's finally starting to get profitable from what I heard.

grenola the statistics on mobile phones is really interesting

in tons of developing countries they're many people's first and only computers and only way of accessing the internet
