How you like your pokemon, fampai?

>2017
>still buying this
your fault

Interesting, which is what they are. I wanted less animal influence and something closer to Celestela's weirdness, so I'm happy with these two.

Do they, like... Tell the designers to make them as ugly as possible?
Why do they like to shit on my childhood and the only happiness I ever knew? Do they do it specifically so I finally succumb to the depression and kill myself?

>literal digimons
nice

>>390200996
Honestly looks like the best Pokemon game in recent memory. Original new designs and cool new areas to explore.

I'll be buying both version for sure just to trade the version exclusive pokemon to myself.

Has game freak or nintendo ever given a reason for introducing ultra beasts?

Fucking grow up. Pokemon is simply not for you anymore and just move on.

The old games that you cherish so much are still around.

>>390200996
You can't attack on your first turn

>>390201610

I guess someone just had an idea and they went with it, I don't think there's a grand plan.

>>390201610
probably got tired of making cutesy/elegant/cool designs and wanted to go full weird

>>390200996
USUM are gonna be shit. They come out in two months and this is what they have to show?

>Nintendo embracing their clown ways more and more with Lola Pop and UB Burst

Somewhere, that big fat Pinnister fake looking shit that would never have a chance in hell of existing is snickering at us from a whole different alternative dimension.

I'll take it.

>>390200996
Trump?
You know... the wall

>>390200996
So is this game going to have any actual dungeons or will they be just as shit as SM?

What? Complain about pokemon designs all you want, the UB's are by far the best they've done in ages

Seems smart to me

You should an hero anon.

Yeah instead just buy the same dam game twice.

Pokemon hasn't has any real dungeons since G/S. They're never coming back

im really not familiar with the newer pokemon. im stuck with orignal 150.

i really cant seem to connect new pokemon but would like a newer pokemon game to play with. Just bought a 3ds.

wat do

what should i do? just go back to playing GOLD or Red (they are $4.99) on the nintendo store.

>>390202302
Pokemone has never really had "dungeons". Just caves with rock puzzles.

Just wait on USUM. Otherwise, get HGSS or XY. XY are great for nostalgia fags

>>390202534
Might as well pick up Gold. It'll have enough of the Pokemon you're familiar with and none of the extra bullshit newer games introduce.

>>390202572

R/B/Y had some pretty dungeony areas. Fire Lab, Power Plant, the teleport maze in sylph co, victory road etc

>>390201426
How much of a victim complex can you have?

Fuck you guys, the UBs are genuinely some of the coolest pokemon in the series. I would way rather have these abstract monster the another shitty anthro dog/cat/fox thing.

Emulate HeartGold or SoulSilver. You really wont regret it. Near lategame they do a good job at introducing "newer" Gen 3-4 Pokemon.

When it comes to Pokemon, it truly goes down-hill starting at Gen 5, though they're all charming. Gen 6 and 7 were a mistake, though I still accept them as all being Pokemon.

Nintendo took a dive when they realized
>Sh-should we make a n-new Pokemon gen? (black and white)
>Its a hit and everyone loved it after 5 years of nothing
>Oh, everyone wanted new Pokemon all along!
>PROCEED TO SHOVEL OUT GENS

>>390203046
Gen 5 is the best gen tho. You didn't even say why you disliked it, just "it went down hill". In what way was gen 5 worse than the previous games?

>>390202534
>only familiar to original 150
>go back to GOLD
>meaning have played previously played GOLD
what the actual fuck are you trying to say?

This game is just not going to have any decent new content, is it? It's just gonna be the same as S/M. Fuck, there's the exact same Lusamine cutscene.

I'm not even mad because the desings are "different", I even like the Rook thing but the other shit and most of Alolamons and Kalosmons are not only unusual but also ugly as sin.

>>390203046
HG/SS is still gen 2, it has all the problems G/S/C did.

>>390203594
Complaining about monster designs looking like utter shit is completely valid though.

I'll take the same shit games from a year ago with shit content sprinkled on top of it release as two games instead of a single third installment.

Also, BW2 never happened.

>>390203775
SMT did the "capture your own monsters" first though. Also DQM is way better than DQV if you want focus on the monster raising aspect.

>>390200996
even digimons look better than this

>>390204151
No. These are supposed to look weird at least. Digimon are just "how many guns and knives can hot glue to this animal". Absolute garbage.

I'm not saying it was, but that's definitely the start of an avalanche that caused Game Freak to fuck their own shit up royally.

Im completely fine with the idea of "every pokemon is a counterpart of gen 1" to appeal to genwunners. Sigilyph, Garbodor, Volcarona, and Crustle are easily some of my favorites, but you can't tell me with a straight face they're not re-imaginations of Jinx, Muk, and Parasect.

The problem is that it started to focus more and more on storytelling, and battles being a hallway of afterthought to the next cutscene. N and that schtick, it never got old or in the way, and you had reason to go places, though the linearity was starting to come together. Most places in B/W only opened up at endgame or even after you BEAT the area. Now take a look at X and Y. You're practically forced into a hallway of unavoidable trainer battles, with little to no exploration. There may be a side area with an item, but that's it.

Nobody forces you to go into the Unown Ruins or Safari Zones (disregard Gen1's Surf, you know you went back to find rare Pokemon afterward, or even during, it was pretty big). In X and Y, and DEFINITELY more recently, S/M, there are no side-streets that lead to cool things or semi-out of the ordinary Pokemon. No Digglets Cave if you want a change of pace in Pokemon typing to counter the gym leader, everything is on the one path you take.

If we're going gameplay-wise, HG/SS Battle Frontier, B/W No Battle Frontier. B/W more QoL buffs to battles, like training and EV's, HG/SS more primitive with non-technical QoL changes like an automatic run button.

I can continue if you really need me to.

I haven't been into Pokemon for years but holy shit were UBs such a disappointment. They were hyped up and mysterious, and I thought they were gonna be something unique but nope, they're functionally identical to regular legendaries.

>>390201610

They wanted strange monster designs and thought UB would be a fun way to do it.

>>390204506
How is picking a good design gonna prove me wrong?

>>390204876
>banwave awhile back do?
That was due to dumbasses going online and dusing cheats on games like mario kart etc, if you're not a dirty pleb cheater then you'll be fine

Xircetreee was the best anyway, and he was just fucking wires. meanwhile lampost and THE WALL is shit looking. Worst thing is that I'll do a 180 after release.

>>390201426
Even if this is bait, genwunners are the absolute fucking worst. Ultra Beasts are supposed to look weird as shit.

>Fantasy setting in which magical creatures with magic powers exist, some of them powerful enough to be borderline gods
>Limitless potential for their designs

>>390205238
>I hope Lilie is a battle partner
That alone would make the game so much better. Actually have this bitch do something.

>>390204768
I don't really think sigilyph is a Jinx parallel...Crustle is pretty unique pokemon on his own, and superior to parasect in just about every category. There are definitely lots of parallels though, like garbador/muk, roggenrola/geodude etc. But in most cases, the Gen 5 mon is superior in terms of design. Most pokemon games are pretty linear, but there are always hidden areas with rare mons. Always. Hell, look at Ten Carrot Hill in Sun/Moon. Battle Frontier is pretty overrated imo, B2W2's post game content was superior. I agree that the postgame has been a bit lacking recently though. But I feel like the expanded online features and streamlining of breeding/EVs is a decent trade off. They definitely need more postgame facilities, which USUM seems to be doing.

>>390204768
Agreed the focus on storytelling in pokemon games killed sun for me, couldn't even force myself through X/Y

HG and SS was the pinnacle. Those games were jam fucking packed with content. Platinum is my personal favorite though.

>>390205947
you missed 3 and hit 5

>>390206319
I can agree with you there then, though B2W2 are strong contenders as well. Platinum is my favorite game in the series probably.

>>390206319
BW2 were good too, I recommend you check them out if you liked HGSS.

>>390205358
Gen 1 actually has a lot of the more nonspecific monstrous designs like Nidoking or Snorlax.

In Gen 7, outside of the UBs and Minior, everything is based on some particular animal or plant.

>>390204563
Is the game finished? I got partway through region 2 and couldnt find anymore gyms to fight

>>390206319
HGSS are literally just GSC with a shiny coat of paint, they didn't fix the base games' huge issues at all. They're incredibly overrated, people just like them because "MUH COPYPASTED FRONTIER FROM PLATINUM"

>>390206528
>>390206070

Ah yes who could forget such outworldy designs as

>Rock with arms
>Fish with horn

>Bigger fish with horn

Have you seen another being from another dimension in real life? Do you know how they look like? No? So, shut the fuck up you fucking close minded shit.

>>390206737
I didn't say all of the designs were like that, but some of them absolutely were. You can't look at Alakazam's weird head and exoskeletony body and point me to one animal as its basis.

>>390206517
Yeah they saved gen 5. The original BW were trash.

>>390201807
I'd be on board with the idea, but the beasts are pretty much legendary Pokemon when it comes to stats, right? Not really something entirely satisfying to use when battling online
