People have been spamming USM nonstop due to the whole "USUM reminds me of SuMo so I'm going to use USM because redundant to put the U twice."

Back many years ago when emojis didn't rule the Internet, we had this thing call a forward slash.

It's this: /

You an see it twice in the board's name, /vp/.

However, people will often be lazy and call this board vp without the forward slashes. That is because the forward slashes are implied. We all know they are there, so there's no point in typing them unless we want to.

Trolls have twisted this logic around in promoting USM over USUM, and I'm here to set things straight.

Around the era of Diamond and Pearl, D/P was the common abbreviation. Very few people actually used DP. It was always R/B/Y, G/S/C, etc. You can look this up in archives and find that using the forward slashes was much preferred. Around the time Platinum came out, the forward slashes became implied, so instead of typing D/P/Pt every time, people would just say DPPt. No one would call it DPt, because "t" does not stand for "Platinum."

Now, fast forward to today.

B/W became BW
HG/SS became HGSS
B2/W2 became B2W2
X/Y became XY
OR/AS became ORAS
S/M became SM

If you call it "USM", you are implying that it's US/M, just like if you call it BW2, you are implying that it's B/W2.

The abbreviation was NEVER (BW)2 or U(SM). Can you type them out like that and be correct? Yes, it IS technically correct.

This is basic math.

(B2)/(W2) = (B2)(W2) because it is "culturally implied" that there is a / between (B2) and (W2), just like (D)/(P)/(Pt) = (D)(P)(Pt) is correct because the parentheses imply that what is enclosed is its own game and what is between the sets of parentheses have /s in between them.

U(SM) implies that Sun and Moon ARE THE SAME GAME, which they're not, so you can't use USM as the abbreviation since it DOES. NOT. APPLY. Only USUM can work because US is its own game and UM is its own game, therefore (US)/(UM) = (US)(UM) = USUM

Understand?

Y'all are some punk made bitches. What is with the amount of whining and complaining I consistently see on this board about there being an overwhelming amount of story in your Pokemon games? Pokemon has some of the most minimal, barebones, practically-not-even-there story out of the thousands of games of its cradle, let alone RPGs. Why do occasional 15 second to two minute cutscenes trigger you faggots so much? If a shred of something beyond gameplay horrifies you, play Pokemon Go, or you know, anything that isn't an RPG for God's sake. The fact that you think the existence of Pokemon's cutscenes even warrants a bit of criticism is beyond me. Play a board game. Anything. Cover your eyes and scream LALALA while you mash the A button for 40 seconds.
