Pedro250 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 "Yes, but are you implying that there's a limited period in which you can use PokeGen after the payment...? If not, this comparison makes no sense." - There is a limit, 5 Days. You ca say that it does not matter, that after that 5 days, we get more 5 days, and that is right, but still, there is a 5 day limit. "...the company...? Of course it's a well-known name, and has marketing to go with it. You're not furthering your attempted point here." - That's true, and false as the same time. Big companies launched games that had never been popular, small companies launched games that have become very popular. It only depends on how good the game is, not how good the company is (if that was true, all EA or Activision games would have been good, and that is the most wrong thing that anyone can say). "How do you know what I know? Perhaps I have more detailed usage data than you realize. Yet you're calling me naive? You're being overly presumptuous about all of this, and acting as though you're highly experienced in all of these matters. The chance of that is miniscule. I think any reasonable person would agree that my statement regarding usage is the most likely case. You're making so many assumptions about what my intentions are as well. I'm not concerned if I don't cater to every single individual here. I'm not a company worried about utter perfection in profits. I'll do what I can and make decisions as necessary." - I never said i was experienced, or something like that. What i wrote was as a PokeGen user, nothing more. But the program is yours, so do whatever you want. I just talk as a user of PokeGen, nothing more. I am well served with the current version, and i will probably only buy this new version if a new main series Pokemon Game got out (like RSE remake or new GEN V game, etc) and you provide support for it, or when the DRM has been drooped out/hacked. Until then, i will use the current version.
Codr Posted October 29, 2012 Author Posted October 29, 2012 If you don't like the conditions, don't pay. The five day requirement is staying for now. You haven't said anything to convince me that there's a reason not to. Yes, it will negatively affect some people. That's just how it is. but i really hope there are other features as much as pokestock There will be some new things.
Bond697 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 "...the bullshit about renting is..." - What here is bullshit? Like i said, imagine that Codr decide to shut down the PokeGen server, you will be unable to use PokeGen. When buying PokeGen with this DRM, so you will pay for something that is a "infinite rent". This happen with all types of DRM, not just this. When you buy something with a DRM, it is not a BUY, it is a RENT, whenever you like it or not. you realize that it's "rent" anyway, right? you don't own the software and the source, you own a license for software. you're renting it anyway. and if he decides to stop supporting it, the check will be removed, i'm sure. what the fuck are you even talking about? this is going absolutely nowhere.
Pedro250 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 you realize that it's "rent" anyway, right? you don't own the software and the source, you own a license for software. you're renting it anyway. and if he decides to stop supporting it, the check will be removed, i'm sure. what the fuck are you even talking about? this is going absolutely nowhere. You are right, i do not buy the game, i buy a license. But the license that i bought for my non-DRM game (Like The Witcher) will still work in 20 years, but the licence for my DRM-protected game may not work in that time. Am i right or wrong?
Bond697 Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 you only read half. the check will be removed. all your other shit about games and the like is irrelevant. pokegen will function no matter what.
Killov Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 Every 5 days there is a check to see if you paid (one-time) for PokeGen. Everyone agrees with this statement? Ok. Pedro believes that if you don't verify the program after 5 days, the program will not work. Am I right, Pedro? And, lastly, if the user does not verify after 5 days (because the server is down, because he doesn't have Internet, whatever), will PokeGen still work? Or will it lock down until the check is performed?
Codr Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 And, lastly, if the user does not verify after 5 days (because the server is down, because he doesn't have Internet, whatever), will PokeGen still work? Or will it lock down until the check is performed? How often have you seen this website offline? The program will require you to re-register with the same information you used initially.
randomspot555 Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 It seems that Codr has said his piece, and this thread is really only attracting flies/idiots. So I'm going to go ahead and close it for now. Any legitimate, thoughtful comments on the future of PokeGen can be directed to Codr via PM.
Codr Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 This is an update I thought might end up happening, and sure enough, it did. Things have changed for me and I no longer feel it's worthwhile to do with PokeGen what I had planned. That is, I no longer intend to charge for it. As a result, I'm also no longer going to be updating the program. That's not saying that it's over. Mat has the source code for 3.1.10 and will be able to continue it. As far as I know, he plans on doing so. The source code will not be made public, don't ask. I've reopened this thread, although I'm not sure what there is to say.
prectorian Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Aww.....that's such a pity. I like using your program. It's good, stable, and reliable. Well, it's your decision, though regretable, it's understandable. Good luck on your other project, and hopefully your friend-partner Mat will pick up the bits and pieces from where you had left.

snivyguy Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 is it possible to be able to open .gds files in pokgen sometime in the future it will be a great help *thumbs up*
evandixon Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 If by .gds you mean the DS-Xploder or Gameshark save file, you can convert them to raw format here: http://shunyweb.info/convert.php
mtbelley Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Thank you for what you have given us Codr, I for one appreciate all your hard work and time you put into PokeGen. Mat look forward to your touch on this.
phoenragon Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Codr, thank you for all of your hard work on PokeGen and thank you for passing the torch to Mat. I'm sad that you felt the need to retire, but as you said, things change and we can certainly understand that. Congrats on setting the standard for Pokemon editors and I hope you stick around in the forums.
marvinstrife Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Just want to thank Codr for all the efforts, blood & sweat to make a beautiful program. Its not that easy to make a program like this. Hope if you're not busy, hope you could still continue updating this program little by little together with Mat. I just want you to know, i may not be the most active member on this site, but the thread of your pokegen is always on my bookmark :-) always checking to see if theres an update. Im not loosing hope that sometime, not only me, but the whole world will see a version of pokegen that will support 3rd Gen (RSE/FRLG) & the upcomming X & Y. Again thanks Codr & also Mat.
floralae Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 This is one of the best programs out there, when used with Pokemon Mystery Gift Editor. Thankyou for what you did with it. i hope it continues into the next generation. i know that our archiving events will.
Brahak Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Hey just a question, does pokegen generate PIDs who's seed matches the obtaining date?
