What a fucking cûck

Yes
Yes
Yes
No
Varying opinions
Yes if 3rd version, no if sequel

Needed more cute scenes of you bonding with your starter and you're forced to keep it like in Yellow

Paid $15 for mine thank god for Gamestop Trade Ins I would never wanna pay $40 for a game $40 is something for an art project

It was the right amount of hype.
The new features are great, not having to lug around HM mons was a huge plus.
Infinitely better than X and Y.
Can't say because I haven't played BW2.
Yes, but not that bad.

>>30049129
Yes.
No. Not on /vp/, at least.
Yes. God, yes. Do yourself a favor.
Uh. I don't mind them. I wish my character had expression in their eyes, though.

It's not Colosseum or Gale of Darkness so yeah, cutscenes were fine.

>Worth the $40?
yes

>Overhyped?
I wasn't as hyped for this one as I was X and Y and in hindsight I'm completely thankful for that

Better than XY?

much

was a much needed breath of fresh air that didn't play itself

>Better than B2W2?

only games in the series I haven't played

>Too many cutscenes? Not enough?

It worked for what they were going for


my only gripe is the game felt a bit smaller cause of the islands thing, that and I reached the credits about 10 hours earlier than I usually do in pokemon games

It was certainly charming leap, but they still gotta iron some issues out. Both Teams are infinitely better than Team Flare.

>>30049129
Yes
A little
Yes, way fucking better
Let's not get crazy now
A few too many on the last island
Only cucks wait for the third game.

>>30049129
Yes to literally all of those questions.

>>30049129

Yes
I didn't overhype them, I was actually pretty pessimistic.
Yes, way better than X/Y
For the first 30 minutes or so it is infuriating.
If Stars is real.

>>30050236
Oh, and I guess I'd rate it better than BW2.

>Worth the $40?
Easily.
>Overhyped?
I don't think so. All the advertising and leaks led me to believe the game would be fun and lighthearted, which it is.
>Better than XY?
Pretty much anything is.
>Better than B2W2?
With Festival Plaza, Poke Pelago, the Battle Tree, Battle Royale, and a pretty good story, it stands even with BW/BW2 to me.
>Too many cutscenes? Not enough?
Too many at the beginning. The first hour or two is kinda slow, but the pacing gets better once you hit Akala.
>Wait for Stars instead?
I can see areas for improvement, but it's been far too long since we've had a game this good.

>>30049129
>Worth the $40?
Yes
>Overhyped?
Ehhh
>Better than XY?
A lot better
>Better than B2W2?
Yes in a two steps forward one step back kind of way
>Too many cutscenes? Not enough?
They could have condensed a lot of cut scenes from 3-4+ into 1 slightly longer one, a 15 second cutscene every 2 minutes is worse than a 2 minute one every 10 minutes.
>Wait for Stars instead?
Nah

>>30049129
It's a very fun romp, and if you're into nuzlocke challenges it can be really challenging due to the presence of Z moves.
Solid OST
Most characters are fun and fleshed out
The new forms and mons are all fun and interesting, barring maybe diglet/dugtrio, I don't really see their appeal besides beign able to name them Beach boys
-Can be very handholdy, especially in the beginning.
-While it's nice there's more focus on story and character chatter, there are areas where it can get annoying how often you're pulled from the game to do these events.

Now that I think about it, SuMo is rather similar to BW. I fucking love them both.

So will my Eevee evolve into Umbreon during the day when the moon is out, or at night when the sun is out?

>>30050407
pls respond

The cutscenes are murder. I just wanna play my fucking game. The 3DS is so far behind in technology that it's a waste of time.

Also, along with XY and ORAS, the lag in this game is so fucking annoying. The hardware isn't powerful enough for the game, and it really shows.

>>30049129
>Worth the $40?
Yes
>Overhyped?
Always
>Better than XY?
Yes
>Better than B2W2?
Maybe, need some time to decide that.
>Too many cutscenes? Not enough?
First and Last island are full of them.
>Wait for Stars instead?
Just like Z right?

>>30050671
I really doubt it has anything to do with the hardware. GF simply has no idea how to optimize their games.

>>30050635
When the moon is out

>>30049129
Yep.
I'm enjoying it and that's what matters.
Yeah. I will miss a lot of things from XY like friend safari and horde though.
I barely played BW2 past storymode so I cant really say.
I dont mind the cutscenes, just wish they were skippable.
I don't really want a switch.

>>30050407
Emulate 5 and buy 7

>>30050407
Just skip to SM, the only thing worth anything in Gen 5 and 6 is B2W2, but if you're inpatient then just skip that too.

>>30049129
I don't think the amount of cutscenes is the problem, I think the problem is the content of most cutscenes is tutorial stuff. GF needs to add a "I know this shit" option

It's not happening.

>>30050668
If you're into competitive battling then go for SM, if you just want the best game overall go for one of the games from Gen 5.

>>30050407

Yes
Nope
Not as much as people are claiming there are, but it is quite annoying to run into one without knowing
If it exists, than yes. Sun/Moon are great games, but they have a lot of problems that hold them back. Which can be rectified with a third version. Plus being on the Switch means performing a hell of a lot better

Most well made pokemon game desu.

>Worth the $40?
Yeah, the game itself would look a lot better if it wasnt for the 3DS's outdated hardware.
Framerate was a lot better than what I expected on the O3DS.
>Overhyped?
Slightly.
Most of the "over hyping" came from the dipshits who fell into the "POKEMON IS ENDING" bullshit.
>Better than XY?
Yes, but still as much hand holding and late tutorials.
>Better than B2W2?
No, B2W2 is the best Pokemon games to date right now.
>Too many cutscenes? Not enough?
I wouldn't mind the cutscenes if they had them more spread out and more like a reward for completing a task. Instead we walk a foot and CUTSCENE, then we walk to the left a couple of feet and CUTSCENE.
Surprised IGN didn't have "To many Cutscenes" as one of their complaints.
>Wait for Stars instead?
I'll buy Stars regardless.

Sorry, I wasn't counting. Seriously the idea of there being too many or too little cutscenes on something is stupid. Whether or not they do their job of conveying character and story is more important.
>Wait for Stars instead?
We don't even know what Stars will be. Don't act like a port is confirmed, it could be something else.

I haven't played pokemon since blue | red. I always see bw2 as the recommended, what made it so good? Should I ply it or can I go straight to sun moon?0

>>30052977
The problem with Gen V is that while BW2 is for the most part agreed to be very good, it's also a direct sequel of BW1, the whole experience comes from playing both. And BW1 is far more divisive, so it's hard to recommend.
I'd say play Sun/Moon then go back to HGSS, Platinum and BW, as they do hold up well. Won't be jarring go back to them from a more recent entry.

>>30052977
It's not particularly bad but I still have no idea why everyone sucks it dick. Play it if you want but I definitely wouldn't choose it as "first pokemon since red/blue"

I'd say just go to sun/moon

>>30049129

So much for replay value. Hopefully there's a sharp drop off as far as game interruptions go. If not, then this is easily the worst Pokemon game yet. BW2 had some annoying interruptions, but after the 3rd badge they disappeared. Hopefully it will be the same with SM and not like fucking XY.

Too many cutscenes on Melemele

>>30053634
Fuck off you apologist cuck. Not even him, but the first three fucking Gens you could conveniently save in front of your starter to reset for natures or stats or whatever. But then they had the bright idea in Gen IV to remove this simple convenience and squish the Pokemon selection into a long cutscene.

>>30053656
Seriously? The entire game is an annoying tutorial?

>>30053579
My favorite trial so far, it got a good chuckle out of me.

>Overhyped?

>Better than XY?

>Better than B2W2?
Maingame yes because B2W2's story is garbage. I don't know yet what SuMo's postgame is like though.
>Too many cutscenes? Not enough?
Honestly there's a lot but they don't bother me because the game lets you know when they're gonna happen.
>Wait for Stars instead?
That depends if it's even gonna happen.

No, just the first 2 hours, then after that only when something new (aka a new animal ride function) is introduced. Basically 90% of what is told to you is up to the first boss.

>>30053747
Oh, cool. That doesn't sound too bad then. I hope you're not full of shit.

>>30053780
>I can't save scum for hours and hours to get my perfect nature
>This is """poor""" game design

>>30053780

Once you've beaten the first totem then the game still has a lot of cutscenes, but it stops telling you how to play the game.

>>30049940
VOCABULARY

>>30053811
That sounds pretty awful.

I mean, it would be perfectly fine if the characters or events in the story were cool or interesting, but if they're anything like XY or any other Pokemon game, the "characters" are just cardboard cutouts behind walls of text.

>>30053805
Sure is. Not sure what you're trying to imply here.

Worst gen by far. You have to be legit autismo to think this was even remotely fun to play. Rather play black and white the rest of my life.

>>30053780
Calling the complications in the use of a feature for something it was never intended to "poor game design" is pretty autistic. It's like crying because skiing on Starsiege: Tribes is too hard.

>>30053879
Why are you on the Pokemon board if you so obviously hate the game.

How fucking old are you, 14? 15? From reddit or deviantart? I'm here because I've always been here and I like Pokemon. Even if a game was bad, would you not want to talk about it? If you loved something and its most recent installment sucked, wouldn't you want to talk about it? Speculate on how it could be better or what went wrong and what might be in store for the future? Get back to the fucking Pokemon GO thread you retarded child.

That said, I haven't even played this game yet. But that was the worst most arduous beginning to any game ever made. Why the fuck are you running around doing fetch quests before you even get your first Pokemon? What the fuck? Who wrote this trash? I just hope it fucking gets better like that other anon said.

am I remembering wrong or could you close the menu for most things by pressing X in X&Y? Now pressing X does something else and I keep having to press B like three times it's such a hassle

Why the fuck people care about getting a good nature on the starter? Unless it's a cripplingly bad one, it doesn't matter, it's IVs are going to be shit anyway. You'll need to breed one for competitive play, and a neutral to good (but not optimal) nature is enough for the main game.

I got fempopplio on my first try and gen 7 is the best in the series. I'm loving sun and moon, it being more story heavy is a plus.

>>30056149
/vp/ holds post-game content in very, very high regard. Emerald, Platnium, HGSS, and BW2 are generally the only four acceptable answers to "best game in the series" because of it. (and recently, people are beginning to realize that Emerald's Battle Frontier kind of sucked)

>>30056149
Because BW2 is really fun for "hardcore" fans of the series.
If you have played all of the pokemon games BW2 will be one of your favorites because of it's many hours of gameplay, and above all else it's huge selection of pokemon. Compared to other games BW2 just has a really great selection of pokemon, leading to probably the best replay value in the whole series.
Platinum on the other hand. I think it is very flawed, but it is atmospheric and has a great postgame. Easily one of the better pokemon games.

>>30056149
Because BW2 is a very good game. I don't get what people find so weird on a good number of people finding it the best.

>>30056209
>>30056216
I never cared about the battle frontier or any of the gimmick battles in post-game so whatever.

Going off of that it seems like it's the same people who never shut up about the game being to easy.

>>30054593
>If you care about competitive for some absurd reason you just hack shit in anyway or play showdown.
Not at all

I just made it to the second island, so maybe it's too early to decide this, but I think this might be the worst Pokemon game. And of the seven generations, the three worst have been the three most recent ones. If this doesn't get tremendously better very quickly, I think I might be done with Pokemon despite being a fan for 20 years.

Complaints:

-There are cut scenes literally every three minutes
-Seriously, the cut scenes are game ruining
-Pokemon has been "Sonic the Hedgehog and his shitty friends" since BW, why do I need a gang of idiot children following me around everywhere
-wtf is this dialog for Team Skull
-Let's handhold the player and never let go
-Experience scaling is back?! Who has ever liked that shit
-And we locked a major end game feature behind level 100, have fun eating shit with the exp diminishing
-The two big new mechanics feel like they scraped them from the reject bin. Z moves are especially dumb, on a mega evolution level. Oh, and I can turn off battle animations but not the stupid dances for the z moves, of course
-Too many pokemon in the regional dex. I know this is a tricky balance but they haven't hit it in a long time. It's not as bad here as in XY but you don't have an identity to your region when it's filled with all the same crap. Did they really need Caterpie again?
-And where are all the new mons? Are they back loaded onto the later islands, or is this XY all over again?

God this is a massive disappointment

>>30056251
BW2 has more than "gimmick battles in post-game or whatever"
And yes BW2 is one of the harder games, it also has difficulty options (which plays into the large replay factor I mentioned earlier)

>>30056275
>-wtf is this dialog for Team Skull
the best part of the game, is what

>-Experience scaling is back?! Who has ever liked that shit
me, so i don't end up even more over-leveled than I already am

>>30056290
>BW2 has more than "gimmick battles in post-game or whatever"
I know there's the thing where you fight every past leader/E4 and I guess that's cool and all but I don't really see why that many people care about it.

Difficulty would be nice I guess.

Yep
Sure
Affirmative
SLOW YOUR ROLL
Ehh, up to personal taste. I could do without a few but it is not terrible.
We don't know what Stars is yet, so it's impossible to say.

>>30056356
Just play it. There are issues with it, I warn you, but most are in all pokemon games.
You'll definitely have a cool team though, unlike some games (such as Platinum) with a poor selection of pokemon.

>>30056275
Oh, and another one:

-The fucking trainer poses before a battle, that then have to load separately from the actual battle. This game has so much time wasting padding, this would be murder on a replay

Oh, and another:
-I haven't battled a single not-plot relevant trainer who had more than one Pokemon. Ugh

>>30056395
I didn't purposefully not play it when it came out. iirc I think the original reason is I just plain didn't know it existed for a little while and then it was "eh BW was ok I guess".

I might play it eventually.

>>30056333
Experience scaling is the wrong solution though. Upping the number of pokemon trainers carry, and increasing their levels is the proper way to combat over leveling

>>30056398
>-I haven't battled a single not-plot relevant trainer who had more than one Pokemon. Ugh
How early are you in the game because I've had a bunch of random npcs with 2-3 mons

>>30056433
which just nets you MORE experience

>>30056417
I was actually in the same boat. I did not hear about it until right before X/Y came out. It definitely is fun, you could always get an r4 card for like $10 dollars and play it, as it probably goes for a bit on eBay.

There were quite a few but it wasn't that unbearable. Replaying may get a bit tedious though

You mean Eclipse or the much more likely S2M2? Nah. Get SM, it's still fun

>>30056275
>not liking team skull
I agree with you on the other points though. Luckily the game gets a lot better during the end of it especially Poni Canyon which is basically Victory Road except with an awesome Totem battle near the exit. Overall I'd give the game a 7/10, it's leagues better than XY but nowhere near BW2. Funny how the series falls in quality after the best entries, you can definitely smell some sinister casualization going on here probably to pander to the retarded normalfags that hopped on the GO bandwagon just to show their friends that they're "total pokemon lover gamer nerds :3"

Fuck this gay Earth.

>>30056490
I miss hordes. I forgot how annoying EV training was before gen 6. Say what you want about XYORAS, but at least breeding and training a competive mon was so easy

>>30056521
It was just a generational gimmick, just like Z-Moves.
Expect maybe a some Primal formes for legendaries, but that is it for megas from here on out, and eventually through means of bank you will never be able to Mega Evolve certain pokemon

Forgot to mention, while the game overall is probably better than XY, the casualization is certainly still prevalent.

>>30049129
>Implying the third game won't be called Eclipse

>>30056546
>It was just a generational gimmick
I don't care if pokemon get new ones, but they shouldn't just erase half the megas from the previous generation. Hell if they're going to, then erase ALL of them! Don't cocktease by giving you some but none for your favourites.
>and eventually through means of bank you will never be able to Mega Evolve certain pokemon
I think it's about time I stop following pokemon. It's clear they don't want to innovate and keep features and keep wanting to hold back on things so when they bring them back for a future generation they seem more innovative and hype up the retarded masses.

This is the straw that broke the camel's back.

>>30056546
>just like Z-Moves.
Oh yeah speaking of those I wonder how they're going to try and give you them next game. Is a random NPC going to throw them at you when you talk to them like the mega stones this generation? How are people going to get Ultra Beasts too? Are they just going to be restricted to S/M/Whatever? Great job Gamefreak

>>30056579
Megas sucked dick anyway so there is no reason to really complain. It was obvious they were just going to be a gimmick, though I personally agree with you I never expected them to be removed in this manner so earlier on.
>>30056608
Most likely just a random NPC. Ultra Beasts will probably be tradea-ble only. In a perfect world Gamefreak would expand on the UB idea and introduce them in different scenarios throughout the future games.

>>30049952

>>30056579
>Hell if they're going to, then erase ALL of them!
b-but who cares about the other megas when you got them for your gen 1 starters! red and blue even give the stones to you! if you somehow don't like that we have alola forms composed of pokemon specifically from gen 1 only! don't you love gen 1!? xd

>>30056634
>Megas sucked dick anyway
I disagree, therefore you are wrong.

>>30056634
In a perfect world, Gamefreak doesn't do the polar opposite of what every other game series does.

>>30056235
Because it clearly isn't, and all you unovabortions just have shit taste.

>>30056735
>Clearly
Give a reason then. Every time I hear someone complain about BW2 being liked, they never give a reason. They always just go "haha unovabortions suck lel"

>>30056794
I hated B/W but I liked B/W2. It seemed like an apology letter for everything wrong with the first game in the same way Xillia 2 fixed everything wrong with Xillia 1.

(You)

No but seriously where are the new mons? I feel like I'm playing genwun 3d except all the hipsters mons are in the starting areas

>>30049842
Traded in Bravely default 2, Mario Kart, and Project X zone 2 for this game and other stuff, worth?

Nope

Oh totally worth

>>30057357
>Wait for Stars instead?
Nah

>>30057349
Damn you for trading in Bravely 2, but then again I haven't played it and apparently Bravely 1 (didn't beat it) goes to shit. I mean it stills looks cool and playing as a couple of deadbeats stealing other people's jobs was always fun

>Worth the $40?
Depends. I didn't pay for it, but if you enjoy spending time online and trading it is definitely worth it. Overall I would say it is worth it and I may buy it in the future.
>Overhyped?
By myself personally? Not at all, I drastically underrated this game. However the pokemon community as a whole over hyped this game to hell and back.
>Better than XY?
100%
>Better than B2W2?
Nah
>Too many cutscenes? Not enough?
It isn't that bad. If you try to speed through the game (which most people here did since they were asshurt Piratefags were nearing completion before them) then it will seem unbearable. There is a lot at the beginning, just prepare to be bored for the first 2 hours or so.
>Wait for Stars instead?
No point.

>>30057349
W-why not just keep the games?
It's 40 fucking dollars.
That's half a day's pay. If they said, "You can click this button and have a new pokemon for working for the next 4 hours." Are you telling me you wouldn't hit that god damn button?

>>30057516
He probably just didn't want the games he had. All of the ones he listed aren't good/get boring after a while.

>>30057516
>half a day's pay
speak for yourself

>>30057583
I will.
I think it was a fair comparison though.
I imagine most people on 4chan have minimum wage or slightly better jobs.
Err, those of us who have jobs anyway.

maybe. you can wait for stars but i'll wait for diamond and pearl remakes instead

>>30050407
Play either Black 2 or White 2. Skip Gen 7 completely, because its an unfinished mess.

>>30049129
>Worth the $40?
Kind of. Sometimes I don't think so but I pirated it
>Overhyped?
Not really.
>Better than XY?
Everything in the series is better than XY.
>Better than B2W2?
nah
>Too many cutscenes? Not enough?
There are a lot of cutscenes, but I enjoyed the story so I didn't mind. It might turn you off though.
>Wait for Stars instead?
what is this stars meme I keep seeing everywhere?

Way too much fade to black for stupid scenes

>>30057861
>Stars.
It's Pokemon Pink or Rainbow or Clear or whatever that faggot in your elementary school called the game his dad that works at Nintendo gave him.

Too fucking many
>Wait for Stars instead?
If you've got the money for a new system and patience, sure

>BW2 where good

I played B/W 1 and thought they where utter garbage with a total dogshit and uninspired Mon selection. Did BW2 improve that?

>>30058570
yes, it's the polar opposite with mon selection and it's more about exploration than the single player story.

>>Worth the $40?
I've but about 50 hours in, if you consider $1 for ever hour getting your money's worth, then it's pretty good.
>>Overhyped?
The promotion maybe, but I never got my hopes up that high, I'm loving it though.
>>Better than XY?
Yes.
>>Better than B2W2?
Let's not be silly.
>>Too many cutscenes? Not enough?
Initially yes, but the story is unquestionably the best so it's fine.
>>Wait for Stars instead?
Eh. I'm getting a Switch for Squidgame anywho.

>Worth the $40?
It's alright. Kinda pissed Gamefreak will never stop cutting content for no reason.
>Overhyped?
By others? My god, definitely. By me? Hell no.
>Better than XY?
No. XY and especially OR/AS I had a lot more fun with.
>Better than B2W2?
No.
>Too many cutscenes? Not enough?
Way too many.
>Wait for Stars instead?
No one in their right mind should get a Switch.

>if you somehow don't like that we have alola forms composed of pokemon specifically from gen 1 only! don't you love gen 1!? xd
You know I would have forgiven these games if they were just the sevii islands from Fire Red and Leaf Green except expanded, grown, and had their own culture/gyms/whatever and that would justify all the gen 1 obsession.
