I didn't even finish the mess that was Sun and Moon, so no. Who the fuck thinks it's okay to have 8 trainers on a route and give them all 2 Pokémon a piece? I get I know that I am playing a kid's game but that's boringly easy.
>>
>>384138357
I haven't play a pokemon game since attempting Diamond, like 4 or so years ago. Has anything actually changed? I couldn't even finish Diamond cause it was just a monotonous and incredibly simple grind. Everyone was piss easy to defeat in battle so it felt like there wasn't even any point in putting any effort in...

Am I missing something that the Pokemon franchise offers? Or is every game literally the same in a new location with the added function of house decorating or Pokemon costumes? At least games like Call of Duty are mindless fun with their reskins, Pokemon is mindless but it isn't fun due to the lack of any real difficulty

Nigga go look at the price of PS2 and DS games right now. Something as widespread as the 3DS isn't going to have shitloads of value down the line. Especially since I'm assuming 90% of your library now counts as used.

Saturn? Dreamcast? WiiU? Specifically niche titles? Sure, those games will have increased value down the line. The average game doesn't, especially in a world of virtual consoles and emulation

What and you think every Etrian Oddyssey and most of Atlus' special edition releases along with stuff like Tales of the Abyss, Kid Icarus with AR Cards and Plastic Stand and more don't count for anything?

>All these people hating on S/M
This surprises the hell out of me. Sun is tied with Sapphire as my second favorite game in the franchise. Top-tier music, fun characters, stellar monster design, vivid region, variant Pokemon, rideable Pokemon, gym trials, tasteful nostalgia pandering...

If you hated the trials for whatever reason I can understand not liking it, but everything else about the game was exactly what I wanted out of a Pokemon game. It shook up the formula just enough to keep things fresh but still familiar, and I legitimately loved all the new additions. I mean, Rockruff, Lurantis, Araquanid, Mimikyu, Golisopod. All 10/10. The only ones I'd consider a failure are the sandcastles, but otherwise to me Gen 7's roster is on par with gen 2.

It's awful. Like unforgivable. You must be vary patient with linear handholding bullshit if you liked S/M. It reaches whole new levels of stiflingly boring garbage. Previous games had a sense of freedom and exploration and Alola takes that feeling and skullfucks it with red flag icons and Lillie.

They were a lot less linear than S/M. SM will fucking quarantine you in places until you complete the appropriate story shit or whatever else. Other games would do so less openly by surrounding you with impassible obstacles rather than fences with wet paint or sleepy Furfrous.

>>384141330
Maybe it's just because I legitimately enjoyed the story, but I didn't feel like I was being railroaded any harder than any other Pokemon game. Let's be real here, "exploration" in a Pokemon game past gen 3 is a joke to begin with. There's nothing to sequence break or discover that the game doesn't directly point you to. Everything is guided either by linear paths, roadblocks like the bridge in Gen5, or HM blocks that require you to beat a gym first. 'Freedom' just isn't something I expect in a Pokemon game, because that concept hasn't existed in almost 15 years.

Maybe after 20 years, the cracks in the franchise are just finally starting to irritate you?

As for Z-Moves, I just didn't use them very often. I understand why some people may feel irritated because if given the option, they'll use it and then complain about how broken it is. Same deal with mega evolution. For me personally, I just turn it off like the EXP share. After doing that and making sure not to overlevel, the game had a decent level of difficulty for me. I even died a few times on the Lurantis wombocombo since I didn't have a fire type.

Yeah but you're a retard who didn't read my post.

I'm sure it's linear, but in ways that aren't complete garbage like S/M. Sun blocks you with a constant parade of time sensitive NPC shenanigans. Older games would block with you a body of water or a stone to use strength on. Otherwise I'd have heard complaints about this. I'm sure Gen 5 still lets you leave the new town and explore the surrounding area a little bit. S/M will tell you to go fuck yourself for trying that.

>>384138357
I wouldn't intentionally buy either of this. I would have bought Stars, but if they're going to bring it out on the Switch, I'll just go get that.

Unova isn't my personal favorite map design and shit like that and the circle are exactly the reason I don't like it.

But taking that and just doing it even worse in gen 6 and 7 doesn't mean it suddenly became ok. It even got worse. Here you just see the line, maybe talk to one of them, and turn around. In gen 7 it's a 10 second unskippable cutscene about nebby getting into the bag for the 900th time and your non rival eating malasadas. Because they couldn't put that many characters on the screen without the game dropping to 5 FPS.

I'm gonna pirate the living shit out of it. To this day I have never purchased a "third version" game. Gamefreak, the barely-competent hacks they are, deliberately withholding content to encourage people to buy a version of the game that should have been the first one.

Hoenn I'll give you for most of it but even then it has an insane amount of exploration in the ocean. Even 5 has SOME exploration even if it isn't great.

I don't hate S/M. It just wasn't that exciting. Everything felt slow. Dialog took forever, framerates were low just like Gen 6, and most of the pokemon were actually slow in terms of stats, making most battles take even longer since you were never going to get the first attack.

On top of that, there was nothing really keeping me invested in the game after completion. I finished the Alola dex and dicked around in the battle tree for a bit, but thats the same "postgame" that XY had. It brought nothing new to the table. I havent touched the game since. I do hope that US/UM gives us more shit to do in the game after the League.

It also brought very little to the "competitive scene" outside of UBs and Tapus which are all getting banned to shit

>>384141779
RBY - Could get Koga, Sabrina, and Erika's badges whenever you wanted.

See, this makes the most sense to me. Bullshit crying like "It's too linear!" and "It's too easy!" when it's been the exact same as every other Pokemon game is totally retarded. Gen 2, 3, and 7 are my favorites, while I hated gen 4 and 5. There are other people I know that share similar tastes, but those who favor 4 and 5 tend to also be the ones who throw gen 3 and 7 under the bus. I'm very interested in learning why that is.

What is it about these games, be it stylistically or mechanically, that separates these regions and creates such a large divide between fans?

>>384138357
It really depends on what they show in the coming months. I loved B/W2 thanks to the mall(that thing we traded a shitton of Magnemites to level up) and the mixed-up route progression. And the early Pokemon variety was unprecedented; you could get Riolu and a good handful of other Pokemon in the first two routes, and a there was a power plant before the first gym with a chunk of electric and poison types. Fucking ace.

They'd have to do that with S/M, do SOMETHING about the rampant mini-cutscenes at the start of the game that kept me from picking a starter for 40 goddamn minutes, and totally mix up the available early-mid game Pokemon. It was fine in the first S/M, but it simply has to be different for a fresh $40 experience.

That was my jam back then. Do you remember there was another pokemon game on the wii eshop? You could play as the pokemon themselves and it played like mystery dungeon. I played that one to death as well. I still can't believe I put in 500 hours into pearl though.

I completed the Alola Dex. It's obnoxious that the new pokemon you want to use has a 1% encounter rate, meanwhile Wiingull/Pelliper, Faticate and Gumshoos have a 30%+ encounter rate on more than half the routes in the game.

But here's another one, piping hot, fresh from the oven.

I liked Sun and Moon but it's nowhere near my favorite Gens (4 and 5)
The Good:
>Music
>A tad more difficult than X/Y
>Better story than X/Y and better character designs
>Evil team is comically retarded instead of pathetically retarded

The Bad:
>Too forgiving with heal spots/items
>MC is just a plot device for the real protagonist (Lillie)
>Lusamine isn't explored enough despite interesting premise
>Trial structure is neat but isn't as engaging as gyms.
>World is far too linear and straightforward. Towns and cities are too barren.
>Dungeons are incredibly underutilized/simplified.
>Z-Moves, like Megas, are a cheap gimmick to appeal to children with low attention spans by waving something flashy in their face. They take away from the charming simplicity of Pokemon in favour of over the top anime action.
>No fucking national dex, pay for Pokebank goyim

Despite all these issues I still like it more than X/Y for some raisin.

I thought it was really good the first time through, but once the hype veil wore off it was pretty tedious on a repeat playthrough, mostly because of the excessive cutscenes and railroading

Yeah I remember several other shop games, but not a Mystery Dungeon-like. Do you mean Rumble? It was top-down and you explored closed environments, with musou-ish gameplay.

That was a great time, when Nintendo discovered small digital, experimental games. I don't think they make as many eshop originals, and it gets offloaded to indie devs more than anything.

Nah, Sun and Moon made me sick of Pokemon for the first time since coming back to the series after X and Y. I binged HG, SS, D, B2, and OR as well and wasn't sick of Pokemon even after all of that but playing though Sun finally did me in.

Among the other problems I have is the fact that Festival Plaza is terrible. Game Freak reinvented the wheel for no reason. PSS worked perfectly well.

I'm convinced that the games have just gotten worse over time. Fuck anyone who says "lel SM is like all the other games".

The first time I played it I concluded it was a good game, but I had a slight nagging feeling throughout the experience that I ignored that was due to its various flaws.

I tried playing the game again and again since and haven't lasted an hour. I gave the game a chance but USUM will be the first game I'm going to skip. Once you realize how easy it isfor GF to improve these games it becomes apparent how lazy and incompetent they are. I bared it for XY ("they had to spend time making models), and for ORAS (it's a remake) but SM is unforgivable. This franchise deserves no more support and it feels good walking away.

I pirated moon. I was not blown away by any means, but apparently my standards were set extremely low after playing Y/OR and I didn't hate the game as much as some others here. I'll pirate UM, but the only way I'll buy it is if my standards are exceeded (unlikely).

Fuck OR by the way. It's like they somehow made my favorite gen worse. They changed what didn't needed to be changed like the safari zone and the caves, while fucking around with shit like neo-mauville. It was ugly as shit because it was using the gen 6 engine, so everyone had those fucked overworld bodies, and there was just square patches of everything because it wasn't meant to be a 3D game. Delta episode was bad and not worth it, the one cool thing that would have come form it, riding mega ray into space to fight deoxys, was spoiled months before the game came out by gamefreak themselves. The only thing I can remember that I actually liked was Leader Maxie's revamped theme. I was looking forward to the next HG/SS and got a slap in the face. This can't just be me, right?

Eh, depends. I am not a fan of how little they have shown off, and while I loved S/M, it was lacking in a lot of areas post-game and felt severely cut down.

If they can make a BW2-level amount of content in the game, then I will be satisfied and pick it up. As-is? Meh. It is the first updated re-release that I am not all that interested in.

My standards were probably lowered and I liked what was going on with Team Skull much more than Team Flare, who I still don't really understand what was trying to accomplish other than nuke the world.
I understand both suck, but I can't remember fucking anything from Y without needing to look it up first, no character made a solid impression on me. The most I can tell you from what I remember is the early game was not good because it's like 4 towns between the first couple of gyms then they're all crammed together, and that for everyone bagging on S/M for this, they seem to forget garbage that X/Y pulled like being forced to watch fireworks with Shauna.

Yes they did, but they never gave any indication that the Battle Frontier wasn't going to be in it. Whether you like it or not it doesn't matter, they knew every single person who wanted a remake was going crazy over the Battle Frontier and decided to keep quiet for as long as possible.

So them keeping quiet is not a good sign since it could mean that they know the reveals won't be popular.

This resulted in people preferring Emerald over a 3D game made 10 years later, because it has more features than ORAS.

I don't know if that's how BW2 actually was but I ignored any news about them either way and when I actually played them it was amazing. Gamefreak revealing absolutely everything about their games before release is 100% a mistake on their part, Pokemon is so much better when you don't know what is going to happen.

I have bought every new pokemon game (not remakes or yellow versions) since the series came out when I was in gradeschool. The story was never great, but I usually had enough fun playing around with my team that it didn't matter.

Pokemon Moon was the one exception to that. The story was so bad, and took up so much time to slog through, that I just gave up around 3/4ths of the way through and haven't touched it since.

That nice reply made me felt genuinely bad.

Ok it's not that isn't bad is just that those cutscenes every 5 minutes made the game tedious as hell.

Also it felt very linear, it was like you had no sense of freedom like the previous gens.

But aside that the music was nice, some pokemons were good as well.

I hope they fix those things and will be a great game. But that is unlikely
>>
>>384157107
>replay value
But why would you replay a Pokemon game? You lose all your Pokemon every time you start from the beginning again. I agree it has less replay value, but Pokemon games have never really encouraged replaying them due to only having one save data.
>Vast Poni Canyon
Not the only title. I would argue Gladion's battle theme, Aether Paradise, the Legendary Battle theme, the Tapu battle theme, and Ten Carat Hill were some other great tracks.
>>
Why is this game even made i honestly dont see the point. Sun and Moon just came out why rush out a "sequel" just a year later
>>
>>384157375
Anon, you should realize that most Pokefags never had standards to begin with. They like it because it's Pokemon. They haven't had their expectations set by the older games in the series, and most flaws are only seem like nitpicks to them.
The only thing GameFreak fucked up so badly that NO ONE defends it, is the fucking Festival Plaza.

Why do Pokemon fans always start pointless genwars and arguments? Each games have their own unique features and content, so even games you dislike have something going for them for another person. Along with that, the basic fundamentals of every mainline game is pretty much the same, so at worst they should all be decent.
Just enjoy the games you like, and be done with it.

The story was for kids, and while I get that these are kids games, usually the story is enough of an afterthought that I can skip through it and have fun just with the training/collecting portions

>longest main campaign of any mainline Pokemon game
Only because the story took up so much time

>hardest battles in a Pokemon game in a very long time thanks to Totem Pokemon being double battles where one Pokemon powers the other up while you're just stuck with one
Enemies should be hard because they have good strategies and synergy, not because your opponent gets twice as many pokemon on the field at one time as you do and one of them starts the battle with boosted stats.

Yeah, I liked SM and it looks cool.
Missed out on Pokemon a lot when I was a kid due to being too poor to afford a GB, so my first game was B2. Loved GTS negotiations on it and the shiny Haxorus/Gible.
Y had pretty graphics but I only spent half the time I did with B2 on it because no GTS negotiations and no regional dex reward worth caring about, although chain fishing was cool.
AS I loved secret bases and did not give two fucks about the rest of the game. Opened it every day excited to get new bases to go into.
And M I really liked the story and it made up for Y having shit selection for bug types, plus custom options were on a proper model instead of a fuzzy-face chibi, although still no GTS negotiations.
So yeah I'll probably buy UM.
>>
>>384142524
Okay, so let's look at it this way
>Start game
>Cutscenes
>Not allowed to go anywhere on Route 1, have to take the north straight empty path to Iki Town
>Cutscene showing Lillie walking to Mahalo Trail
>Can't go back the way you came and can't do anything until you go to Mahalo Trail
>Cutscenes
>Back to Iki Town, choose your starter
>Warp back to your house
>Now you're allowed to go east on Route 1, a completely linear route, after doing the catching tutorial, but can't go south, north, or west of your house
>Go to Iki Town and battle Hau
>Warp back to your house
>Now have to go south, can't go west, north, or east
>More cutscenes
>Have to go west to the trainer school, can't go any farther west
>After that, you go to Hau'oli City, and you can't go on Route 2 and every 5 steps is marked by another cutscene
>Can't cut through the fences because they were "just painted"

Basically, the entire game is like this. You're railroaded through every route and city because of the story. There's always a Tauros or that girl on the Stoutland or a random NPC blocking the way until you do a bunch of story events.

The problem is Gamefreak. Remember, Iwata had to bail them out when they were developing the first two games.

It's not Nintendo putting in minimal effort, it's GameFreak.

>>384161623
"Definitive Edition" like Emerald and Platinum, except you still have to buy two versions because fuck you.
The fact there's two versions is probably because of the Mandatory Legendary Hunt that'll be split across the two versions in order to encourage trading, since you'll also likely need two members of a trio in order to get the third.
>>
>>384161721
It's only gonna get worse with hd models.

Sprites were easy to make games yearly with but 3d they still want yearly releases so cut out content due to time

>>384162114
Nintendo can't do shit, they only own a part of Pokemon, the rest of it split between GF and Creatures Inc.
Even then they don't have much control, and as far as Kimishima's confirmed as long as it's coming out on an almost yearly basis, everyone's happy because they'll literally print money no matter how awful the game is.
>>
>>384143360
Gen 5 is objectively the best.
Pokemon finally has an actual story that involves the player character, sprites are way better looking then the 3d models and they don't drop frames in every fight. The game also has the best characters in the series. They also have give you legitament ways to get the best gift/trade/interacting pokemon in game. Introduced instant repel use, convenient item use, just convenience in general really.

But most of all the gen 5 games have they best post game besides gold and sliver.
PWT allowing you to fight every major character at their best(opposed to overleveling and shitting all over red in g/s).

Battle Factory, Battle train, White and black forrest, a FUCKING HARD MODE which is all we ever wanted for ages. Gen 5 is objectively the best, bw2 have far more content and quality then any other pokemon game in existence.

for the first time in my life, I'll skip a mainline pokemon game.

I've dropped moon halfway through, I think it's the weakest entry in the saga because it has no fucking gyms and routes, just a copypasted city after another.

The best aspect of pokemon was the travel, after which you reached super cool and variegated locations.

Sun/Moon was just people making you sit in a 5 years old friendly choo choo train after another while telling you "woow great you're so cool" in the meanwhile.

It kinda feels it was the first pokemon to be really and exclusively aimed towards children

You'd think "Wow, there must be plenty of alternatives!" and you'd be fucking wrong.

People want to be challenged, they don't want to hold themselves back. If basketball gets boring, what you want is for a team to come by who can challenge you. What you don't want is for some tard to ask if you've tried only using one arm. There's no satisfaction in that.

Only items left behind sometimes by smashing rocks or fighting digging/rustling pokemon are shiny, regular hidden items are still hidden and you have to use Stoutland to sniff them out.

I'm saying that Pokémon's linearity has increased since Generation V (B2W2 being an exception).

Look at Kanto. Pre-Cerulean City is fairly linear. You can visit Route 22 if you want, and the beginning of Route 23 once you have one badge, and there's an optional rival battle on Route 22, but until you get to Cerulean City, everyone is going to be following the same path. You can go straight to the Cerulean Gym if you want, or you could go to Route 24 and Route 25 to meet Bill, after which you can go to Route 5 south of Cerulean City, which leads to the Underground Path, then Route 6, then Vermilion City. From there you can go to Route 11 and the beginning of Route 12, Diglett's Cave leading back to Route 2, or on the S.S. Anne to battle your rival and get Cut. At that point you're required to battle Misty, go to Route 9 and Route 10, go through Rock Tunnel, and then go to Lavender Town. From Lavender Town, you can choose to go south to Route 12, but it's blocked by Snorlax, so you have to go west to Route 8, then that Underground Path, then to Route 7 to get to Celadon City. You can go west to the beginning of Route 16, but that's also blocked by Snorlax. At this point, you can get a drink so you can enter Saffron City. You're required to beat Giovanni in the Rocket Hideout to get the Silph Scope so you can go back to Lavender Town, get past the ghost, save Mr. Fuji, and get the Poké Flute. From there you can go Route 12-13-14-15-Fuchsia City or Route 16-17-18-Fuchsia City where you go south to the edge of Route 19 or to the Safari Zone to get Surf. Beat Koga and you can get to Cinnabar Island from Route 19-20-Seafoam Islands-20-Cinnabar Island or Pallet Town-Route 21-Cinnabar Island.

The only Gym Leaders you're required to have beaten to do all this are Brock, Misty, and Koga. Lt. Surge, Erika, Sabrina, Blaine, and Silph Co. Giovanni can be tackled in any order. Or you can trade a drink from Stadium 2 and make Misty optional by opening Saffron early.

>>384167070
I played it last year and it was fine. Sure, it's not exactly balanced, prone to all sorts of glitches through shoddy programming, and doesn't have the QoL features introduced in later games like a good PC or unlimited item storage, but it's still totally playable. There's no point in worrying about DVs or stat experience, and even catching every Pokémon is simple. You just go from place to place and play it like you would a Pokémon game. It's the core experience.

Depends how different it is to SM. I feel so mixed about SM. I definitely had liads of fun on the first island, it wasn't hard at all but I really loved the characters, atmosphere, tropical setting, amd the way the routes felt quite expansive. But after the first island... eh. It was like they just stopped trying. The routes felt more akin to gen 6, more basic and less charming. For a tropical region, I felt they tried to cram in too many unique environments. It felt like there was more mountain than chill grassy areas amd beaches later on, eps the last two islands. Overall SM was fine, just didn't always meet expectations. But I hear USM is being directed by BW2's director, that gives me A LOT of hope.

It's not a non-argument, I'm saying that it's a game with a difficulty so low that only a child wouldn't find it insultingly easy.

I genuinely don't see how anyone above the age of 18 could consider S/M good games without a considerable amount of mental gymnastics.
>Top-tier music
Doesn't improve the gameplay.
>Fun characters
Debatable. The characters aren't really particularly unique; Lillie is the only one who doesn't seem like a stereotype, but even then, outside of the Exeggutor island scene, we don't really see a lot of her, and most of the time the characters just serve as a constant annoyance in cutscenes.
>stellar monster design
Fucking horseshit. This is coming from someone who has defended new pokemon designs constantly, but Gen 7 has both the worst designs in the series, and the highest ratio of bad-to-good designs. Many of them are either ridiculously simplistic, overly cutesy, or absurdly ugly, and many of the designs are confusing in inspiration/theme. Not to mention, they're not really used very well; Ultra Beasts are just a short epilogue slapped onto the end of the game and have zero relevance to the story at all, besides Nihilego. The guardians also never do anything; again, they just serve as a quick afterthought for you to collect after you've beaten the game. Solaleo/Lunala don't have anything to do with the sun or moon at all, and literally their only purpose in the entire game is to open up a portal.
>vivid region
Hardly. It all just blends together into one big bland tropical mush; that's the problem with having a region with one theme. You get tired of seeing nothing but beaches and rocky mountains and jungles, none of which you can really explore aside from maybe two specific cases. It's probably the most straight-forward region ever; it appears to have lots of branching paths, but they're always blocked off by random bullshit.
>Variant Pokemon
Now I know you're bullshitting. It's just the same old gen 1 pokemon with a sprinkling of new pokemon.
>Rideable Pokemon
This was an improvement over HMs, but could've been handled better.

>Improve the gameplay.
GF has tried to improve the gameplay over the last two decades?
>>
>>384169016
Don't forget that in terms of online/competitive usage, fucking EVERY new Pokemon that isn't Legendary, UB, Toxapex, Mimikyu or Alolan Marowak is useless due to horrid stat distribution.
Hell, some of them are hard to use INGAME because of the asinine decision to make things like Crabominable and Vikavolt have to wait until the literal END OF THE GAME to evolve, and then you find out their evolutions are incredibly mediocre due to the aforementioned stat distributions.
>>
>>384150706
As someone who hated Sun and Moon and most of the new designs, especially the alolan formes, Alolan Grimer/Muk are fucking great. Visually interesting design, is more than a basic recolor without totally throwing away the theme of the original, even improving upon it, great stats, etc.

I don't even play competitive, but the decision to make most of the dex slow as shit is retarded, especially since they'll never get a time to shine, not even in their own Regional Dex because of the Tapus and UBs.

This mentality is the reason why I've given up on Pokemon.
>>384169325
I'm not saying they're all bad, and there's even quite a few I love, but I'm just stating a fact that there are a lot of really, really shitty designs compared to other generations.
