3 things you love/are happy about Sun and Moon 3 things you dislike/are

+
>comfy setting that doesn't seem to repeat Hoenn's mistakes (too much water)
>good mix of new and old pokemon
>there appears to be a focus on day and night differences...

-
>...which might be kind of useless if they don't bring back features like pokemon appearing only at night and the night mode still will be so fucking bright
>only gen 1 getting Alola forms (?)
>possibly weird fusion shit no one wants

>>28537019
>Doesnt seem to be any post game - that might change

Wat how do you gather this if we don't know anything about the normal game?

>>28537078
>They havent said anything about post game yet
and
>The map doesnt conatin any additional post game terrains

Which might change of course but judging by XY and ORAS it doesnt sound like we're in for something super huge for now

>>28537019
>Alolan Forms
>The region is way better than france
>Jangmo-o

>Bewear
>Z-Moves are fucking stupid
>Ultra Beasts

>>28537019
Things I like:
>Story is shaping up to be really interesting
>The region and OST so far are amazing
>I like a lot of the new designs

Things I'm worried about
>Lack of human NPC bosses (as in, very few kahunas), possibly boring fetch quests during the trials
>Games becoming even easier than Gen VI
>Luchalitten

>>28537125
Oh yeah, I forgot one additional thing I like/dislike

+ Alolan forms
-Gen I exclusive alolan forms

+
>Region looks amazing
>Most of these new Pokémon and character designs are great
>Changes up the old format in a way that seems fun

-
>Only Gen 1 Pokémon seem to be getting Alolan forms
>Possibly unable to catch Ultra Beasts?
>Not out yet

>>28537019
Things I like:
>the plot and the NPCs seem interesting
>Alola is a nice setting
>connections to previous gens (Zygarde, many dimensions)

Things I don't like:
>while Alolan Forms seem like a nice addition I'm gonna be pissed if they only introduce them to gen 1 pokes
>Z-Moves may be a flop
>sandcastle pokemon

+ most of the new pokemon look great
+ alola forms are rad
+ hyper training allows us to make competitive mons without tons of breeding autism

- it looks like it's gonna be XY where you're constantly getting stopped and talking to pointless NPCs when you just want to play and explore
- Z moves are a pointless gimmick
- synchro hasn't been completely 100% deconfirmed yet

New Pokémon, Ultra Beasts and adventure.


I don't really dislike anything yet

+ Region looks beautiful with tons to do.
+ Original Pokemon this generation are so unique, and usually well-designed to boot!
+ Ultra Beasts and Aether seem like very interesting story elements.

- Alolan variants. I'd rather them create additional new Pokemon. If these new variants turn out to be a one-time thing, making sure there's Alolan Rattata data in each subsequent generation just seems awkward and like a bunch of unnecessary work. And, at the risk of sounding bitter, the Gen I pandering IS wearing thin by this point, anniversary game be damned.
- The possibility of no new Megas. It's a much better concept than regional variants IMO, and Pokemon from Gens V and VI ought to get their share this gen.
- ...Uh, I think Solgaleo, Magearna, and Luchalitten have very bad designs.

It's hard for me to think of three bad things without getting knitpicky.

>>28537019
Love:
>More unique type combos like Normal/Dragon

Umm... That's about it.

Holy shit.

>>28537019
Good:
>Great overworld
>Intredastin settin
>Ridable pokemon

Bad
>Drampa
>Palossand
>Can't ride your own pokemon

+ All the new cool features
+ rowlet
+ lots of other stuff

- I want Lunala but IDK if the "eternal night" will get boring

>>28537019
Bad
>I fear it will be a Delta Episode plotbwhere we travel to each set piece just to go to the next one
>GF STILL WONT FIX OLD POKEMON WITH BETTER ABILITIES AND STATS
>no post game as far as I can tell

Good
>Alola looks amazing
>Regional Variants are great concept
>GF gives off the impression that they are actually trying with this game

>>28537019
>hms look done which opens up like 2 pokemon worth of extra moveslots to use
>overworld looks fantastic, so do the pokemon, and these complement each other
>plotline looks good

>not using the gen v xp system makes leveling new catches a chore
>ultra beasts and lack of gym boss fights could be dumb as hell
>may lack postgame and sidequests that aren't forced down your throat by island captains

+
>So many of the new Pokemon are amazing
>Looks like the story's going to be a wild ride
>Ya boi Guzma

-
>ZMoves. They just seem strange to me. I don't necessarily dislike them or anything, they just seem like overkill
>Lack of gyms is still bothering me. I don't see the Totem Challenge things being all that difficult. But we'll see. I'm sure they've got something up their sleeve. This is Ohmori we're talking about.
>Still 60+ days to release

>>28537019
3 things I love:
>the new region
>GF going crazy with new concepts
>patterns being broken
3 things I hate:
>still not letting go of previous generations (especially the 1st). I'd rather have more new Pokemon than Alola forms
>Rotomdex came at a terrible time where it will feel like a YW ripoff
>Legendaries feel like they don't matter anymore at this point and are just a thing they're forced to do. I'd rather this pattern be broken as well.

>>28537019
+ Comfy region.
+ Some great Pokemon being introduced.
+ Other things to do other than battle (like Pokemon Snap 1.5)

- The leaked starters look horrid. Luchalitten is neat because of the "dirty fighter" idea, but Popplio3 is kinda bland, and the Rowlet final.. disgusting. Hoping they (somehow) aren't real.
- Looks like it could be on par for Gen 1 pandering from last gen.
- Honestly, while I'm getting Moon, the differences they did to Sun feel lazy. It feels like Masuda has Ohmori's balls in a vice grip, and is still steering in the direction he wants the games to go.

it was hard picking only three things i love about this gen

+ region looks beautiful and expansive. i'm really excited to explore all of Alola

+ fresh new designs for pokemon. i love all three starters, rockruff's evos, the ultra beasts, and more

+ the npcs are interesting and so well designed. i love team skull, aether foundation, and the rest

these are things i worry about

- little to no postgame content. i really hope we get tons of postgame content

- easy gameplay. i would like for the game to be much more challenging.

- alolan variants don't get a boost to stats to help them become stronger

Good
Day night cycle return
Lots of cool pokemon
Team skull
Bad
Ultra beasts-not necessary and ugly
Z moves- another broken thing like megas
Luchalitten evo

+ Alolan forms
+ Apparently more new mons than in gen 6
+ Day/Night difference in eventos and pokemon

- Alolan forms are only for kanto mons (so far)
- The supposed starter evos.
- No gyms. I'm ok with what we have now, but also having gyms would give us more stuff to do.

Good
>All the new Pokémon
>Story actually is (or appears to be) good
>Both teams are great

Bad
>Z-Moves will probably turn out to be pointless
>Only gen 1 alolan forms
>Trials might end up being just shitty sidequests

+It looks and sounds nice
+Hau seems like a pretty chill guy, I like him as a rival
+The fact they're shaking things up, like there being no gyms

-I feel it will be easy as shit once again
-Not really sure about the whole ultra beasts thing
-The things they decide to "shake up" might not change for the better

Things I like:
>New Pokemon designs are very good so far
>The plot seems different from the usual Pokemon game (see UltraBeasts, no gyms, etc.)
>New abilities, moves and mechanics seem like they can give a good shake to the meta
Things that I'm worried about:
>Version exclusives seem to be too restrictive
>I'm afraid about the postgame
>I fear that the bottle caps for the hyper training may be very difficult to achieve

1) Generally the Pokemon themselves are good, I like what I see so far and the Alolan Pokemon are cool too.

2) Alola as a region looks beautiful and comfy.

3) All the small features that are new/returning sound like bags of fun.

Against

1) Game looks like it could end up being too easy/hand holding again

2) Region looks a bit small, though I've been comparing bits in trailers to the official map and my concerns are easing up.

3) If they don't play their cards right with the story it could feel too detached from the rest of the Pokemon lore.

Likes:
>Alolan forms breathing new life into old mons
>the possible mix of villains this time around
>all this weird new shit like the new dragons and Wishiwashi

Dislikes:
>Alolan forms are only for gen 1 mons (nothing against gen 1, but gens 2 and 3 need love too)
>no new megas when they have yet to fully capitalize on mega evolution's potential to improve old shitmons
>the new kahuna and totem challenges won't live up to the legacy of the gym system
