Who else thought this challenge was hilarious?

>>30140057
Just you.

>>30140057
A lot of us did.
>Go, my hiker!

Salazzle spooked me.

>>30140057
Kiawe seems so edgy and super serious. The hiker and Salazze spooking took me completely off guard. Then you find out the Hiker is his best friend. I definitely laughed out loud twice over the course of the trial

>>30140057
This was really enjoyable since they had proper set up for the punchline too.

>>30140247
Yeah, it surprised me the first time around.

Then proceeded to sweep me.

>>30140057
You look at Kiawe and think he's all serious business. And then you partake in his trial, have the Hiker (and Salazzle) photobomb the shot and he acts like it's all completely normal.

Honestly my favourite trial.

>>30140088
Try again faggot

>>30140322
>mfw i one shot all of them

>>30140057
Oh, I didn't even realize you can't not pick Salazzle here. I went down to "The suspicious Pokemon" because I thought the first ones were wrong answers. Good thing I can read.

>>30140322
>>30140460
Same, Dewpider oneshot Salazzle (granted with a crit). Wasn't even a Z move, just regular scald.

>>30142037
Mine was already Araquanid...bubblebeam is a clean ohko here.

But seriously, the set up for this punchline was godlike, I nearly dropped my daughter out if laughter since I was taking this trial seriously, then double photo bomb.

>>30140057
The hiker disturbed me a little bit, but this trial was so fucking stupid I just had to laugh and smile
It was the fucking best

It annoyed me until I realized Kiawe was just taking the piss. Then it was hilarious.

>>30140363
>>30143959
Same reasoning behind it as well
>Plays himself up as super serous compared to the two easy going gals
>First part even feels like a legit 'spot the difference lv1' situation
>Then the Hiker
>Then the Photobomb
>All while he's still as flatfaced as ever and he clearly planned this out
It's the little set ups like that what made me enjoy the second island and felt they put the most effort into the trials there, outside of the ghost one.

>>30144079
Steel Trial was best trial.

>>30140057
Not me. I sighed, cringed and cried all the way through it, as I am doing through the game so far.

>>30144610
Have you considered just not bothering with pokemon? It doesn't sound like you enjoy it.

>>30140322
Did it add you to its harem once you were defenseless and fuck you?

>>30144610
How can one human being be so soulless

>>30144647
Right?

>>30144626
I'm a major pokemon fan and have been cinring over Alola, too. The captains are pretty stupid, everyone has one personality (friendly) and the removal of basic things like training is ugly to put it gently.

Love the mons, hating the new game...

>>30144626
Maybe I should, but I invested 20 yrs of my life to Pokemon. I enjoyed it all the way up to ORAS. Sun and Moon just seem to rub me the wrong way.

>>30144647
Souless... well I don't know about that. Considering I believe in the soul anyway.

>>30144690
Removed mechanics I get, but since when has pokemon not had friendly characters for the most part?

>>30144704
It's just they're *too* friendly. Even in old games you would find some aloof, grumpy or just not super social people. This one everyone's practically farting rainbows. I can't think of any non-bad NPC that was not overly nice.

>>30140057
I actually laughed the first time the hiker appeared.

>>30140057
I nearly spat my drink when the hiker showed up. The damn Salazzle was freaky as hell.

>>30144703
Hang in there, bro. I'm the anon who also isn't liking sun/moon. I'm hoping it's a one-off and the next one will be better. They did say pokemon was going to be on the Switch you know!

Just beat this challenge.

10/10 Best challenge. Kiawe's the type of guy who you'd think would use a Charizard X to go along with his Alolan Marowak, but then pulls out a Numel.

>>30144721
Gladion? Nanu?

>>30144738
For sure, thanks man. The thing I don't like about Sun and Moon is the fact that it doesn't feel like a Pokemon game.

If the Sun and Moon Formula was a stand alone game away from the main serious I have a feeling that I wouldn't be too hard on it. See I am comparing and judging Sun and Moon against XY, ORAS, RBY, B2W2 and even DP (which I didn't like much).

Anybody got the 9/11 Hiker David edit?

>>30140057
me and the music was great, anyone knows if its on youtube btw.?

>>30144837
Sun/Moon feels like a massive departure and Gamefreak tossing stuff at a wall to see what sticks. I'm hoping they listen to the complaints and use it to make better games in the future.

>>30140057
The Hiker trainer type just makes me laugh in general, his intro battle pose is so goofy

>Come, my fine Hiker!

>>30145149
Too right. I still think though there is a place for stuff like this, but they'll need something huge, something better to grease the wheels to go with it all.

>>30145242
>the dialogue before his fight and the Marowak's is identical in structure
I had to stop playing for a minute and remember how to breathe. That trial makes great use of basic comedic structure.

>get to the second round of Kiawe's Spot the Difference challenge
>igotthis.jpg
>carefully watching those marowaks for hidden markings or switcheroos or other funny business
>hiker pops up at the end
>i...is the difference behind the hiker...?

The Hiker model is probably my favorite this gen, desu, 10/10

>>30145359
I'm just sad I didn't take a pic of this.

>>30145274
>>30145149
>>30144837
Guys, I dunno. I really like the big departure, here. This series was honestly starting to get really stale for me. When I picked up S/M, I came in with the mindset of, "I'm just in this for the new mons/meta changes, I'm gonna basically speedrun the main game", but I really came to enjoy the new stuff, the new tone, and the new direction in storytelling. I honestly hope that the Pokemon games keep on iterating the formula like this, because this was a much needed breath of fresh air.

>>30144703
If you survived the travesty that was ORAS, then I can't see how SM would be so bad

>>30140057
I like to think that the Hiker was just some random guy that showed and Kiawe was playing it cool like he was suppose to be there. When it really was some random dude doing a photobomb.

>>30145589
As mindlessly crazy ORAS was it was still resembled a Pokemon game.

>>30145573
I guess where the game was, in creative terms, is a little different for us all. The game was getting a little same-old for me aswell but this was a little too much change for me. I would like to see something that is in the middle of it all.
Maybe a watered down Gym series and some trials that are actually challenging and relevant.

I was so taken aback by how stupid and nonsensical it was, then I couldn't stop laughing. Its actually a pretty great setup for a punchline.

>>30145875
>B-BUT HOW?

>>30144811
Checkmate

>>30140322
Seriously with Alola Dugtrio, no one should have problem with Salazzle or Hau's Raichu.

>The black Pokemon
Whoa whoa whoa. Chill the fuck out Gamefreak. It's African Alolan Pokemon.

How could you possibly enjoy Gen 6 and not enjoy Gen 7?

>>30148092
because he has shit taste and wants GF to rehash the same tired formula forever.
>WAAAAH IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE A POKEYMAN GAME

Good.

The only part of this trial I was disappointed at was that Kiawe didn't say
>My Totem was so pleased by your right answer that it simply had to battle you.
With that same poker face.

>first time seeing the part with the Hiker popping in
>had to watch the entire scene again to make sure I wasn't being rused

>>30140057
What was the answer to this one?
I kept getting it wrong

>>30145777
>too much change
What the fuck

We have had 6 generations of the exact same formula almost to the beat and a generation that still sticks to the basic idea and structure but does it in a refreshing way is "too much change"?

>>30148469
it's mostly the autists who only care about the metagame and competitive shit. they don't give a fuck about story and characters.

>>30140057
>Got all the answers correct the first time
>Fight wasn't even difficult despite being under leveled

I didn't like that it was basically a two second trial.
>"Okay you did it, now go do the next one."

It was pretty funny.
But then Brionne demolished Salazzle and it was over pretty quick.

>>30145777
>ORAS still resembled a Pokémon game
Oh okay, you hate change.
We have literally 20 years of the same structure. Sun and Moon are great for trying something different. Geez, there's no pleasing these people.

>>30148690
>Geez, there's no pleasing these people.
You said that as if literally everyone asked for change in the past.
Fuck you, you don't get to talk for the entire community. I've always asked for GF to stop being incompetent lazy fucks and refine their games.

Am I just retarded, or did anybody else do the same thing?

>>30146032
Alola Dugtrio has a 2x weakness to Fire.

I mean it's funny for the kids, but I thought it was cute.

>>30145428
hiker is really cute

I think male sightseer (or spotter, I forget) is adorable too

it was like, the 2nd best trial

the best trial was mina just going "DUDE WEED LMAO" and giving you the fairy crystal

>>30140057
But how?
My hiker was so excited you chose the right answer he just had to battle you!

come on, most of the Totem's are piss easy

>>30148851
It's OK.


I'm retarded too, bro.

>>30140322
Once I finally got a hit in it got OHKO'd by Bulldoze

Many would disagree with you.

Will hiker David show up in the anime?

>>30145923
>kiawe is legitimately that dumb
My sides

Kiawe secretly shitposts on /vp/

Yes, the hiker was fantastic. And then BOO! Totem Pokemon outta nowhere! I liked it.

That's where I broke. Laughed damn hard at that.

>>30145573
Big departure was fucking awesome. Just think of it as the games taking a vacation. No more HMs, you get to check your poke's stats when you catch them and even switch on the fly, decent challenge, dangerous wild battles, actual fucking bossfights.

I had a blast.

>>30140057
It was funny because I was taking the challenge super seriously.

>>30144721
>This one everyone's practically farting rainbows.
It's Hawaii.

>>30154188
Ignoring the fact that they took out what was hands down the best part of the game checking trash cans this post pretty accurately sums up my feelings for it as well.

Not as bad as crushing, pounding and grinding on mallows ingredients till they turn to goo

>>30144721
Edgelord McGladion? Everyone in Team Skull? Sleepycop?

The actual villain?

this and getting machamp had me in tears
>you're about to go summon the most powerful pokemon in the region
>let my machamp cradle you like a baby as you travel to hell

>>30144610
Why even play the game?

Master Chuuster was the funniest thing in the game.

>>30154886
when do you get machamp?? i want to be carried bridal style by machamp

>>30140057
Between this, Kukui, and Rotomdex I think SM is by far the funniest Pokemon game.

>>30154737
>edgelord
Ok I agree you listed the non friendly characters but he's not an edgelord. You don't understand chuunis or edge if you think he's edgy

>>30156389
I liked reading Rotom's little comments, made me less irritated by every cut scene because he always comments afterwards
>him calling Illima a dreamboat
i can believe GF is advocating pokephilia

>>30156437
Then later Rotom turns around and goes "I think I like that Aether girl. Was she looking at me? Did you see?" Rotom is a horny fuck.

>>30156394
Gladion became pretty nice later on though. He might still be chuuni but he was nice chuuni.
