Yea seriously, if you don't have anything supportive to say about this petitions, then dont say anything at all, Sure ther is a chance it may not work but were gonna try anyways, if you don't have anything nice just to say then just GTFO,
Thats Life, Just pointing it out
Nowhere in the rules does it say that people aren't allowed to post dissenting opinions. Of course, if the staff come in and say so, I'll gladly stop. But I don't see why actually discussing this is bad, but "omgerZ teH G0lD is r0xrz! i sizgn!" is good.
Let's just pretend that those of us who don't believe in this petition don't have anything inherently against the central idea, but more the method. Considering that online petitions are so easily exploited and thus aren't a reliable way of showing a demand and it takes almost no effort to sign one, something else needs to be done.
And the best way to do that is an actual letter, typed with a hand written signature. It shows that you took the time to put your thoughts onto a piece of paper, sign it with your name, and pay the postage. This takes effort, and shows that you'd back your cause, rather than almost passively signing some random online thing that may or may not be read by someone who matters.
Pokemon is a franchise that, if they thought they'd make money by doing X, they'd have X in production by tomorrow, and a plushie of it out next week. If there is a demand for a G/S remake, Gamefreak already knows it. If there isn't, they know that too.
And you say that people will just move on if it has no affect, but I've seen posters do otherwise. Many users of the Serebii forums declared 2008 a "disappointment" because of no G/S remake. And that's ridiculous, isn't it? Judging a franchise's success based on a game that was never set for release, or even set for production?
