>Zoe gets in car, plays 3DS
>I can tell it's White 2 by the music
>"Why don't you play X version I got for you, Zoe?"
>"I did, Anon. I'm playing the White games again."
>"Why?"
>"It was too easy. I don't wanna play again."
>Zoe is 13
>Got her White version when she was 8, been a fan since she was 6 or 7.
>Got her X version when she was around 10 years old
>"What's your favorite Pokémon game, Zoe?"
>"White 2. I like it a lot."
>Surprised she doesn't prefer X, the easier and more child friendly game even compared to Gen V
>Next day
>Pick up Zoe again
>Arrive early
>Zoe's playing in the school park with her friends
>One of the kids is wearing a generic Ashime shirt from Walmart or something
>I ask him if he plays the games, he says yes.
>"What's your favorite?"
>"I like Black."
>Ask all the other kids, some play the games, some don't.
>Majority answers with a Gen V game
>These children are between 10 and 13
>Later that day, on the way to pick up Sydney
>Arrive
>Sydney's eating snacks outside with friends
>I mention Pokémon
>I ask them their favorite Pokémon games
>Almost all say they don't like Pokémon, a few say they like Pokémon White or Black
>"Why don't you like Pokémon?"
>Almost all the complaints are
>"It's boring."
>"I don't like how it plays."
>"It's kind of easy I think."
>One kid says Slugterra is better
>I ask the kids who don't generally like the games "what games have you played?"
>Almost all say either X, Y, OR, or AS.
>The few that do like the games have played and prefer Gen V games
These are Game Freak's target demo, small children between 9 and 13. The majority say Gen 6 is too easy. These aren't just children, these are mostly girls. 9/10 YEAR OLD GIRLS think Gen 6 too easy. Is Game Freak smoking crack? They've dumbed it down with Gen 6 too much to the point where not even their demo enjoy it.

Good.
Maybe Gen 7 won't be such a pisstake in terms of difficulty.

At the very least they could have programmed a different difficulty setting.

Actually using Smogon, are you? Heh... what a noob... A true Pokemon Master comes up with his own strategies and raises his own Pokemon with love and care!

Not battle related, but it took me 4 and a half hours to find a Sandile with moxie and a nature that lowers its SP Atk. And I caught all that I encountered.
Nothing that extraordinary I guess, but it just happened so my salt is quite fresh.

I often just carry around a Ninetales that I just play with in amie when I am extremely bored. It doubles as my general purpose pokemon too, often carrying it when breeding and the like.

What are your worst fears for these games?
I've come to the startling conclusion that we may not get new info until 2 and a half fucking months from now. For all we know, Corocoro could just "feature" shots from the Direct trailer and call it a day. Hell it could be worse. Games get delayed and pull a complete Diamond and Pearl and not be released until next year.

Doubt it'll get delayed. But I think what Im worried about the most is over the top "gimmicks" (i.e. Fusions between humans)

>>25825873
>more faggy non-rivals and other cring worthy stuff
>retard levels of hand holding
>shit like fusion or whatever that trainer and mon link is from Pokken making an appearance
>no post game

>>25825873
>actually wanting leaks
i would be overjoyed if on release day i know nothing more than box legends and the starters.
its been a long time since i went into a new pokemon game clean.

So, regular Fire Red Nuzlocke. I got lucky to begin with, with my Viridian Forest encounter being a Pikachu.
But while I was grinding up my caterpie, I ran into this. I shiny claused it, and replaced my same leveled Ratata with it.
Now if only this wasn't on a rom so I could switch this up to X and Y. I mean, it's the 3rd shiny I've ever found.
Hopefully Jesus the Ratata survives this.

Wait you can? Oh thank you for telling me this. I'm going to look up how to once I finish this locke. Even if Jesus dies, she'll just go to a box instead of being released now.

>>25825720
Actually so long as you have a GBA cart that's the same region as the rom and have a DS flashcart, you can put your save on your cart and move it up each of the gens.

While IGN, Gamespot, and others put out their reviews for Sun and Moon, write your own, detailing what you liked or disliked about the newest Pokemon games. Did they live up to your expectations? Were there more pros or cons? Let me know your thoughts!

Too much space / 10

The games are a solid entry to the franchise. While they lack some hardcore fan favorite features, the new toys to play with are there to make up for them, well, they try.
Overall 7.7/10
Pros:
>Graphic improvements and better frame rate
>Great selection of Pokemon in the beginning
>Trainer Cuatomisation with a wide variety of styles
Cons
>No Pokemon Amie
>No postgame
>No battle frontier
>no following Pokemon
>No PWT or anything similar
>Easy and too much handholding
>New lucario mega lol
>>
>>25824874
Stingulor is too strong/10

What if the reason why the Kalos region has so many Pokemon spanning from all the generations was because Hoopa brought them there?
