I find it baffling that a Pokémon game called Sun/Moon doesn't have literally my mom's rock sun and rock moon in its regional dex.

only 18 alolan forms. Like what the fuck? At least with XY's new form gimmick they went all out with it and introduced almost 30 of them and none of them were shitty NFEs. I don't even mind that they're all gen 1, just give me fucking more of them
>>
>>29350425
Assuming this isn't just a thinly veiled hate thread

The lack of Solrock and Lunatone in the regional dex is pretty stupid.
Also, that Moon is looking like it'll actually be a bit easier than Sun, it seems intended that the "solution" to the first boss is to get a fighting type, which is 2x against the Sun boss but 4x against the Moon boss.

Rest assured this isn't. I am actually really hyped and can barely wait for their official release! It's just that there are things that left me scratching my head and ask, "How the hell did GameFreak miss that?"

Why would the title of the game affect what Pokemon show up in it?

This is like asking why Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen weren't filled with red and green Pokemon respectively. Alola is its own ecosystem with its own unique set of Pokemon native to the region. "HURR THEY'RE CALLED SUN AND MOON SO WHERE ARE THE SUN AND MOON POKEMON DURR" is kindergarten-level word association.

Z-Moves. The whole concept of them, really. Holding an item so that you can use a single super move once per battle just feels pointless to me. They won't magically make shitmons stop being shit like Megas managed to do for Pokemon like Beedrill. They're just fancy, sometimes excessively long animations attached to, what, 200+ BP moves? I could not possibly care less about them.

>>
>>29350863
Most moves don't come close to reaching 200 power when converted into Z-Moves. They really aren't as worth it when you take into account needing to hold a Z-Crystal and being able to use them only once a battle.
>>
>>29350449
just because the character movement doesn't lock to it doesn't mean there's not an unseen grid that still permeates the entire walkable area. structurally, for a video game, there has to be.
>>
>>29350883
>no pokemon that looks like the strange souvenir
This confuses me so much, just who is that supposed to represent? The unseen combined form of the Tapus?
>>
>>29350894

That's even worse than I thought then. I doubt they'll see any competitive play, save perhaps for a couple broken ones dolled out to Game Freak's favorites (if Mega Fug doesn't get something completely absurd, I'll be surprised).

FireRed and LeafGreen are remakes. Kindergarten-level false equivalence.

I don't think it's far fetched to say that Pokemon that are literally based off of the sun itself and the moon itself should have been included in the game somehow.

>>29350425
Non-exclusive Z-moves. At least Megas helped make some shitmons like Beedrill and Mawile viable. Non-exclusive Z-moves are just going to leave shitmons further in the dust. Why would I use an Electric Z-move on a Plusle when I could use it on a Raikou or even a Raichu instead?
>>
I was really confused with how many Corsola and Slowpoke they have in the demo that there were no Alo;an Corsola or Slowpokes. Even a Corsola evo would have been nice.

I do feel cheated that Mega are basically dead now after they pushed that shit hard in the last gen. It feels like they couldn't come up more or were pissed with how much complaining they were probably getting.

The Alolan forms in general annoy me because why is this the region that has the biggest affect on Pokemon species? We had entire region fucked up by Ice at points and that didn't fuck up some species?

And yeah, 18 Alolan forms in general is SUPER dissapointing because of how muchthey are pushing it. Just because the Rattata is different now doesn't mean I'm not going to throw a fit over running into 8,000 of them. Might as well have made Alolan Zubat too.
>>
>>29350614
>Alola is its own ecosystem with its own unique set of Pokemon native to the region
If only even half the dex was filled with new and unique Pokemon.
>>
>>29351180
But they couldn't make an Alolan Zubat, Crobat exists and they can't have a non-Kanto mon have an Alolan Form!

Fucking GF with their Gen I circlejerk.
>>
So is it a good game?
>>
>>29351147
The point of the non-specific z-moves is being able to use them on whatever Pokemon you feel like using. Yeah, you could use the electric Z-move on Raikou or Raichu instead of Plusle, but at the point you're doing it because you want to use those Pokemon. People who like Plusle can use the move with Plusle. They aren't excluded. Besides, Z-moves aren't going to make much of an impact in competitive anyways, who would honestly sacrifice their item slot for a move they get to use once?

The Alolan people of course.

Its just a generic Tiki, its purpose was simply a vague teaser for a Hawaiian based region. Seems pretty obvious to me.

>>29350425
I'm not really upset with the total number of Alola Forms, but I do find it frustrating that fully half of them are weak to Ground.
>>
>>29350968
>>29350976
Came here to post this, I liked sitting. It's really stupid that your character just stands around and bumps into tables with empty chairs. Sitting added immersion.

I guess now we have the stupid pirouette animation if you spin around in the same place quick enough.

>>29350630
>name of the region is "alola"
>the greeting is "alola"
It's so stupid and unnatural, it's like saying "Hawaii!" when you greet someone. It'd be even shittier if you picked a country's name, like "Canada!" or "England!"

>>29350563
You're not alone, it feels like a downgrade.
>>
>>29350863
Z-moves are nothing but elemental gems anyways. Can hit over 200 bp, but requires a high bp moves. Some pokemon are going to benefit though such as hawlucha.
>>
>>29351216
It's not terrible, going by the demo. Most of this thread is nitpicks. It will probably end up being better than ORAS but about on-par/slightly worse than XY.
>>
>>29351476
I'm not sure that using a Z-move will even trigger Unburden, since you have to consume an item to trigger it. Since Z-Crystals seem to be a rarer "one-per game" type of item I doubt they disappear after using a Z-move, they probably end up like a Mega Stone on a Mega Evolved pokemon, effectively useless but still taking up your item slot.
>>
>>29351491
>slightly worse than XY
So absolute garbage?
>>
>>29351180
>I was really confused with how many Corsola and Slowpoke they have in the demo that there were no Alo;an Corsola or Slowpokes. Even a Corsola evo would have been nice.
They are Pokemon that live in the water and have very little need to adapt to the ecosystem.

Sorry Mario, your Battle Frontier is in another game

It's extremely nitpicky but the "you're running into a wall" sound effect only plays once now instead of it repeating until you stop running into the wall.

I think it will be at least slightly better than XY, if only because the characters actually look somewhat memorable this time around. Also given the story is not complete shit, it should be better than the literally nothing most of XY was, with a terrible villain team to boot.

>>29350425
I don't like how few Alola forms there are. Especially since most of the dex is Kanto pokémon.
If there were more at least finding unseen pokémon in the routes would be fresh and exciting for a little longer.

I also hate how they removed sitting, especially since there are characters sitting down in almost every building. Feels as bad as the BF teases in ORAS.

The hint shit where it tells you what moves the enemy is weak/resistant to.

FRLG had a type chart that you could access mid-battle, it didn't get in the way of anyone who didn't want/need it, and the player could use it to determine any weird matchups while still needing to figure out what type the enemy is, making it a nice crutch that didn't make the game completely braindead. Why couldn't they just bring that into Sun and Moon, instead of going full retard with this?

Dataminers near-confirmed it, all the bike items have been made into stubs (as in, they're just indexes and nothing else, since Game Freak never reuses old indexes for new items). It's possible they just have a new type of bike with a new gimmick, but combined with Pokéride they're pretty much guaranteed to be gone.

This. Since cities are so big now, I expected them to have more detail, which is why it excited me so. Instead, they used it as an excuse to have a whole lot of nothing, just more travelling time when moving through the city, as evidenced by hal'oui in the demo.

No mega lunatone, solrock.

The excuse for Alolan Raichu existing is "maybe it ate too many pancakes!" I don't think Game Freak is trying to apply logic to these.
>>
>>29351615
Nah, he's right. ORAS disappointed me a lot more than XY did, but ORAS is basically RS, and RS is a lot better than XY, so that makes ORAS better than XY. ORAS is a mediocre game on its own, it's just a horrible remake.

They aren't even big, just scaled up to the models. Hau'oli City is downright tiny compared to every other "biggest city" in the series.

And yeah, it feels underwhelming. I think that every route is scaled to fit the PokeRide, which means every route is going to feel wide and empty.

Things wrong with Alolan forms:
>Gen I only
>A little over a dozen
>Most of them are Ice and Dark, while there are seemingly very few new Ice and Dark mons, which suggests Alolan forms were used just to make up for a lack of actual new mons
>Type changes are arbitrary and random to begin with
>While one expect Alolan forms to be most "tropical" variants of classic mons, the actual changes are again arbitrary and random, while the actual explanations for their change seems to be tacked on after the fact. Why is Vulpix suddenly Ice in a tropical climate? Fuck you for asking.
>>
>>29355902
They are wastes. Why are they even necessary?

Gold & Silver just let you catch the other cover legendary in the postgame

It's not as bad as Ice/Rock, but it's still pretty bad.
>>
>>29355943
>Why are they even necessary?
I dunno, it's almost as if they could be involved in the story or something.
>>
>>29355943
Don't respond to shitposters. Anyone who places "muh" in front of a word as if it were a counterpoint is not actually trying to argue with you.
>>
>>29355959
oh boy wow will sun and moon's exhilarating narrative survive without having a two completely worthless cutemons you'll never see again because you need evovle them to get the legends on the packaging?
>>
>>29355961
The idea that there are "slots" that the legendary pre-evos took from other Pokemon is pants-on-head retarded given the way Pokemon are designed and the roster selected. Acting differently instantly proves that you have no idea what you're talking about, and thus don't deserve a thought-out response.
>>
>>29356011
Be as sardonic as you want, it doesn't change the fact that the nebula showing up less than two hours in shows that the the legendaries are going to be involved in the plot from the outset. And as I said above, if you think they "took slots", you're a retard.
>>
I'm really pissed at the lack of fossils, especially now that we don't know if there will be anymore for future gens.
>>
>>29355931
>Why is Vulpix suddenly Ice in a tropical climate?

Because they evolved to adapt to the ice mountain?

>>29356011
I think the idea of a three stage legendary line is a great concept.

OP, this may be off-topic but how did you edit the pic in the OP? It looks VERY similar to the ones they show in the trailers.

My problems with Alola:
>No Solrock/Lunatone, Tropius, Bellossom, Corsola, Starmie, Luvdisc (Heart Scales grind), Alomomola.
I wonder why GF didn't put them into Pokedex, they fit the game pretty well.
>Alolan Forms.
The idea was pretty nice, but its made horribly. Only 12 of them, from gen 1 and some of them are pretty random.
>No bike
>Alolan Persian.
I fucking hate this thing.
>Long as fuck pre-battle cutscenes.
>Removing sitting/DexNav.
I know they was Gen 6 features, but come on.
>Pushing Mega Evo aside.
I know not everybody loves them, but abandon them is just stupid after all this shit did in Gen 6.
>>
Can't. Sit. Down. what the hell.
>>
>>29352114
Even Shin Megami Tensei does this nowadays. I don't get why people have a problem with some slight UI convenience. It's not like knowing the type chart is what separates casuals from Smogon autists.
>>
>>29356318
Shin Megami Tensei is not nearly as casual as Pokémon, it's still a challenging series despite the hints. Pokémon has always been an easy series, and shit like this pushes it too far regarding casualization.

What works for one series does not work for every series.
>>
>>29356318
This. There are plenty of RPGs that will happily kick your ass but still tell you type effectiveness like here and nonone complains.

Sure, Komala and Pyukumuku could really use evolutions, but if a gen is small I'd rather have many 1 and 2 stage families for the sake of variety.

Either way, Zygarde is the third legendary. It's the Earth. It's a double trio master, similar to, but obviously not the same as, Arceus.

I can understand this, still falls under "muh patterns," but I get it.
>wanting the bike at all when you can ride Tauros and shit
>Ice and Dark
This, 100%. There's only one each, from what I can remember off the top of my head: Luchalitten and Yeticrab. I imagine the so many Alolan forms were given Ice and Dark types to make up for it, plus there's the UBs to make up for it. Still, wish there was more.

Hey now, I'm not too fond of the overworld stuff we've seen, but the battle music has been tight this Gen. Gladion's battle theme is up there with Colress's and Zinnia's themes in quality.

>>29357201
>>wanting the bike at all when you can ride Tauros and shit
You need to hold b on Tauros to go at full speed, even though the whole point of the bike was going fast without having to press b.
Plus, like other anons said, you get the stupid rider outfit, and it stays on when you're in battle. Have fun with customization when you won't even get to see your outfit 90% of the time.

The idea was that the Pokemon you use aren't your responsibility so the company you rent them from requires you to wear a helmet.

>>
>>29351734
>if it's a small new group of mons then it's automatically good
I swear if I randomly removed 50% of the pokemon from any other gen and presented the remnants as new before the release of the games you people would say the exact same thing.

no one cares what you think
>>
>>29351945
An evolution is not necessary if it doesn't have shit stats. I don't understand why The Pokemon Company designs pokémon that won't be used by anybody because they have stats and abilities that suck balls. Delibird, quillfish and luvdisc are some examples.

Golduck is so mediocre and it really could've used the help, and this also would have finally given it the Psychic type that it's Dex entries imply it should have.

Think about all the worthless Johtomons that really could have benefitted from it

He's shitposting. The Zelda Cycle is not real, nobody is suddenly liking XY, it's a combination of ironic shitposters and people who always liked XY. You're probably one of the latter, trying to push the Zelda Cycle shit to make your game seem more popular than it is. Stop trying to force it.

>>
>>29358526
People who liked Sinnoh had Platinum to fix their biggest issues with it. If XY had a Z, and it fixed shit the same way past third versions did, I'm sure a lot more people would like Kalos by virtue of Kalos having a game that wasn't shit, rather than supposedly having the Zelda Cycle kick in. I'm not him by the way, and think that cycle is bullshit.
>>
>>29358526
I hated Sinnoh when it was the newest gen because Diamond and Pearl were garbage. I liked Platinum better, but it was still my least-played game. It wasn't until after XY came out that I went and watched the DP anime, replayed Platinum, and started to love Sinnoh.
>>
>>29350425
More Kanto mons than Alolan mons.

>>29358341
It's really not.
The pokemon community outside of /vp/ loves every gen except Gen 1. Hating Genwunners is pretty popular now (though ironically they love the Gen 1 pandering in X/Y and S/M)

I seriously hope this is the case.
Just doing a boring fetch quest and battling one wild pokemon with its shitmon partner would be underwhelming as fuck.
People complained about gym leaders having progressively less pokemon with every gen and now we reached the point where the battle is reduced to just ONE fucking wild pokemon
