After 30 hours i can say this the best pokemon game ever

>>29857704
I think that'd be cool. It's sad that people will throw a shit fit over any future games without trainer customization though so they can't force you into a particular protagonist. It'd be interesting to play some quasi-spinoff game starring a supporting character going on an adventure in another region.

Nah. I'd rather have a sequel that takes place 3 years later and make Lillie the Kanto champion.

>starting in Kanto

no. fuck off

>>29857792
This.

>>29857795
A fully redesigned Kanto that's at least 10 years into the future from FRLG, though.

>>29857704
R8 the storyline for me alofags. Best, worst, compared to which game in the franchise?

Thanks you OP posting the end of the game on a board 11days before the release of the game, great idea, love you

>>29857872
>11
You mean 5.

>>29857872
go back to the pokemon reddit if you don't want to see spoilers

>>29857855
Second best behind Gen V, tbqh fampai

>>29857855
The characterization is some of the best in the franchise. Story is kind of the least epic in a while since it's very personal, the main character might as well have been Lillie.

Characters and character writing:
SM > BW > BW 2 > ORAS > DPPt > HGSS > FRLG > XY

Story:
BW > BW 2 > DPPt > SM > XY = ORAS > HGSS > FRLG

>>29857855
All the stories in pokemon are boring.

SM story isn't that great either,but it gets good near the end

>>29858027
The characters carry it.

>>29857872
It doesn't actually reveal anything

>>29858053
It reveals Lillie's costume change, but we saw that in the trailers.

>>29858049
Never cared about pokemon characters,so no imo.
If you're saying that about SM,the characters are better but nothing great.

Is it possible that we get Kanto DLC? Seemed like they hinted it with the talk about Hau's dad after the credit scene.

>>29858011
>>29858026
>>29858027
Great to hear, the characterization in gen 6 was so abysmal, but this game has seemed promising from the get go with Hau, Guzma and everyone else.
Also, I'm sure it's much easier to get character across with those models, in past gens they were so limited with just jumping and exclimation marks

>>29858081
I was talking about SM. The characters are definitely a notch above previous games and even the Trial Captains and Kahunas feel more fleshed out and have relationships and interactions among themselves. And as much "I'M GOING TO FORCE YOU TO LIKE ME AND YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT" as she is, there are some very good moments of characterization for Lillie.

>>29858113
Yellow Sun and Blue Moon, a sequel to both FRLG AND SM. With Lillie as the Kanto Champion.

>>29858113
just like the battle frontier in oras

>>29858190
Good point I guess.

This is pretty much the only situation where I'd be okay with ANOTHER Kanto game

The region itself would have be completely redone

>>29857704
>After 30 hours i can say this the best pokemon game ever without any arguments!

>>29857704
These credits are so amazing. The remix of the "Welcome to Alola" music and especially both the Guzma and Lillie photo/letter. Really makes you wish the story wasn't over.

>>29858293
This is the most I got attached to a Pokemon cast.

Does the plot leave you with wanting for more like BW1 did? I spoiled myself on the story and the way it ends sounds similar to how BW1 left.

>>29857704
RIGHT OP? I'm glad we thought the same.

>>29860442
Definitely. And not just in a "WHERE IS MY BATTLE FRONTIER, REEE" way like ORAS.

S2M2 could be the best games since BW2

>>29860442
>B/W was the second mainline pokémon game on the DS
>S/M is the second mainline pokémon game on the 3DS
>B2/W2 released 2 years after B/W, when the 3DS was already a thing
>S2/M2 will release 1-2 years after S/M, when the Switch will already be a thing

Maybe?

>>29860489
Not sure, will it be worth following Lusamine and Lillie all the way to Cerulean Cove for that small plot resolution? Naah.

Everyone including Gladion stayed in Alola, so should we!

>>29860578
Lillie should come back as a super-trainer. And the end of the credits for SM2 should be Lillie getting ready to battle against SM's PT.

>>29858113
If there's anything that points towards DLC, it's the empty fucking lots in almost all of the towns that are just standing there with nothing in them.

But regarding Lily and Hau, I'd like to see some sort of BW2-style sequel taking place a few years after SM with more grown up MCs.

Lillie will be like N in BW2. PT from SM will have disappeared and Lillie will be searching for him/her.

I think this is how a potential SM2 will involve a new evil team that wants to harness the power of UB's for world domination shenanigans

>>29860631
I want to believe but considering this is modern GF, I doubt it. But I am willing to be proven wrong.

>>29857704
It's really not

>>29860874
>>29860688
>>29860631
If we get S&M2, will the Champion be mute like Red is? Hopefully our character is still the Champ. About his/her team? Idk, maybe Chicken-chan will get her own set, the boy will get his own set.

>>29858026
What characters did you find to be written well, just curious.

>>29860964
It will be like BW2, with Iris being the Champion because both PT and Alder left the spot open. Lillie will be the Champ because PT disappeared and she will be searching for him.

>>29860926
We are guaranteed to get at least one more game before the end of the generation, so there is a good chance we'll see a follow up to Sun Moon.

Would be fun if GF updated the game in a year or so with Lillie returning as a trainer and challenging you for the champion title.

>>29861026
Tell that to Pokemon Z, well, so called Pokemon Z. I was hoping we will get something out of Zygarde in Kalos but meh. That's why I'm left despondent about this. Let's wait and see!

>>29857704
"Best ever" is a bit of a reach. The characters weren't terrible, but the execution was. The game forced them down your throat with cutscenes that would put Heavy Rain to shame, and the interactions that counted were too seldom. There should have been more Gladion as well as Guzma. For a game so long I don't see how moments with other characters were so rushed. Lillie was the only character that got movie worthy screen time.

>>29861024
How can Lillie be the champion if she's searching for him/her? Besides she leaves the region at the end of the game. I think there's a likelier chance of one of the champion challengers being the next champion

>>29861072
It's a different situation. SM is actually on the exact same place BW was. It's on the eve of a new console.

>>29861114
She said that she was going to come back from Alola after her journey in Kanto. It was just a pottery moment to make her match MC better:
>Kanto boy that completed Alola's trials
>Alola girl that beat Kanto's Gyms

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WHQARPi8IE

>>29861072
Yeah, but we got remakes instead. And outside of the potential dppt remake, that seem pointless to get because they can be played on the 3ds, what other game can fill that void other than a sm follow up? They are the most narrative minded games since The Gen 5 ones, so it makes sense for more world building.

>>29861220
>imagine a battle-theme-style remix of this
Beautiful.

>>29861156
I'm not sure about that. Challenging the Gym Leaders are not like playing fetch and completing creative or peculiar tasks. Gym Leaders are hardcore assholes. But okay, Lillie can adapt, I guess.

>>29860688
Seems very likely. Also avoids giving him a canon team

>>29860874
I'm thinking more of an old evil team returning instead. Rocket is the most likely one if that's the case.

>>29861220
Oh hey, it's Cosmog's theme or maybe it's the other way around. But I love it!

>>29861302
It's Lillie's theme, it even gets a second version that plays when she does her silly-but-cute Z-Dance thing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGa5PdC1duU&t=4s

>>29861405
W-Wait, so Cosmog actually doesn't have a theme of its own? And I thought GF went abroad with the characterization this gen.

>>29857704
What is that pic from?

>>29857704
whats the context of little girl holding lunala's face


is this the cosmog grown up and being let go or something

>>29862417
>>29862466
It's from the credits. Lillie gave Lunala to PT and Lillie is saying good bye to it because Lillie is going to Kanto to find a cure for Lusamine's illness.

There should be an option to leave Nebby with her.

>>29862485
come on anon, at least put some spoiler alert for moralfags

>>29862485
I assume it's solgaleo if you have pokemon sun?

>>29862580
Why would someone avoiding spoilers even come to this thread with the spoiler OP image?

>>29862504
I feel like shit every time someone gives me their partner. Hell, I hated taking Salamance from Zinnia and Zinnia is annoying as fuck.

1st thing: How do you censor spoilers? Dunno how to do that
2nd: Story is Good compared to other games, but not the best
3rd:Caracterization might be the best on pokemon games
4th: Champion Lillie HYPE!
5th: Dunno why, but the cutscene after ________ is defeated made me feel kinda sad. Dunno why

Lunala's opinion of the game:

Story: MAHINAAA!
Caracterization: MAHINA-PEAAA!
Overworld: MAHINAAAA-PEA!
Post-game: MAHINA-PEA.

Thanks for your help, Lunala

>>29863311
It sounds like lunala is judging a game they didn't even play yet with those ratings

>>29862504
>>29862657
Why does GF not understand the concept of consent.

>>29863477
There is an old man in XY that asks you to give a pokemon because he's very lonely. After a while if you come back there will be a letter telling you that he died but was very happy because you gave him a pokémon. Then you get an item and your pokemon back. That's sad

This. I would honestly have no problem if we never saw another game in Kanto again, I'm fucking sick of it and genwunners constantly bringing it up.

Um, since when did Lillie get a ponytail? Did they change this last minute?

>>29864300
She changes her outfit as part of her character development in the story.

>>29864316
Thanks for explaining.

>>29858011
Nah, Gen 5 tried too hard. SM alone is better in pretty much everything except obviously postgame.

I'm going to marry Lillie!

>>29857795
>it's the cool edgy hate kanto meme
Can't be anymore unoriginal.

Fuck off, Lillie is for Chicken only.

>Lunala is a Digimon falseflagger
this explains quite a bit

Holding hands with Lilie!

>>29857704
honestly if there was an option to let her keep lunala I would choose it

>>29864316
She is a strong independent woman who doesn't want to be defined by her looks... so she changes her looks so she can feel better about herself...

-gags-

Stuck in YAH BOY's mansion in PO town. I answered all passwords but he keeps saying I gotta know how Skull works

>>29857704
I really can't forgive the fact that the ubs had barely anything to do with the story. Only ONE (1) ub battle in the story and it isn't even to faint. Why the fuck did they even have that cutscene of the portals opening up all over alola if the ubs are just going to be dealt with off screen?

Other than that, it was pretty great, I agree.

>>29867181
Did you even play the game? She changes her looks because her previous look was picked by her mother.

>>29857704
Meh. It was ok.

>>29867208
when he asks if those are the passwords you want to submit, say no

>>29867208
you say no at the end

>>29867217
All I wanted was this:
>After you awaken Solgaleo/Lunala, you find out that they can't open the portal to the Ultra Dimension due to cosmic interference caused by the Ultra Beasts
>You travel to defeat the Totem-powered Ultra Beasts around Alola in order to open the gate to the Ultra Dimension
>Since Lillie tags along and there are secret shippy Lillie events if you visit certain locations with her while traveling around.

This would have elevated the game for me.

>>29867098
Delete this, it is mai waifu you are referring to

>>29862657
You could take Zinnia's Salamence?

>>29864316
That is the real Lillie, the one with the hat is UB-01 in disguise.

How are you guys getting the game so early? I preordered on Amazon and it says I won't get it until the 18th.

>>29869103
Nintendo has a promotion that allows all 4chan gold members get early access.

>>29869103

The full game leaked a couple days ago.

>>29857704
>best pokemon game ever
Honestly, the cons outway the pros.
Off the top of my mind
>Cons
Alola is small, less towns than most games and routes are smaller.
Trials replace gyms but there's only 7 trials, making it smaller still
Cutscenes out the ass
Majority of trainers have 1 or 2 Pokemon
Both instances of infiltrating the evil team bases were incredibly short and easy
Due to Alola's smallness, the lack of postgame is even worse.
New chaining method is annoying (Unless you want to wait ages for Pokemon to call for help, you need to False Swipe them. After enough time they'll break your chain by Struggling to death)
Removal of triple and rotation battles
No National Dex, hidden behind a paywall. (I know $5 a year is nothing, but it's the principle.)

>Pros
Nice music
New Pokemon were nice
Likable characters
Despite being small, Alola looks aesthetically pleasing

Keep in mind, I enjoyed it. But it wasn't great

>>29869482
Totems are much, much better than gyms ever were, some of them can actually kick your shit in.

Alola also has a lot more postgame than XY or ORAS.

Maybe 3 people played triples and rotation
