Can I already get my hopes up for some PC ports?

Probably not, that'd be piracy, and I'm sure that Nintendo will sue them to hell. 😅

@Dremor@lemmy.world and @simple@lemm.ee.

I'm surely talking out of my rear-end, but isn't possible for an eventual developer to go the way of the SM64 port: having to provide a rom in order to get the assets? As far as I know, those responsible of said port haven't been bothered by Nintendo.

Tor

Tor is only as safe and as secure as the person using it.

Most people think just installing Tor and running protects them and their identity. Most don't even look at things like DNS leaks or think a VPN plus Tor helps, that being said. Tor and Mullvad are probably as private and as secure as you can get by default.

This is bad advice. Using a VPN with tor makes you much easier to track.

Definitely, you don't need a VPN. If you're really worried about your first hop traffic standing out or being blocked, use the obfs4 bridges.

Most people don't make a Pokemon clone and don't need a Tor onion service to stop it getting censored.

Technically yes but I doubt anyone would go through the effort only to be sued into oblivion.

There are a lot of fangames that contain regions and their Pokemon from original games, with some enhancements. You could try these.
