Wow...

These were... uh, these were bad. And I don't mean bad in the sense that they were poorly programmed and poorly programmed games, most of the mainline Pokemon games are, but they manage to still be extremely entertaining all the same. I mean that these were BAAAD, they were tedious, boring.

The cutscenes are a pain to get through. They wouldn't be so bad if the characters were likable, but... they're not. Hau is a non-character, he's boring, he doesn't do much and just gets in your way when you're trying to explore the region. The same with Lillie, she's annoying and I could not care less about what her problems are. I thought that after ORAS Gamefreak learned how to write decent characters, since they revisited an old game and improved characters such as Wally, the evil team leaders and your rival. But guess not, because all the characters in SM are just otaku bait or terrible (I guess Zinnia was a sign). Gladion is alright, I guess, he wasn't a rehash of Silver, which is what I was expecting, so that's good enough. I mean, I appreciate the effort. Game also continues the trend of Pokemon games that started somewhere around Gen 5 of you being the chosen one and some super special kid, instead of just some random talented trainer that got caught up int he middle of things.

Game was piss easy. I played with the Exp Share off and on Set and managed to finish the game with my party a good 5 to 10 levels above Kukui's. The supposed Hau battle with his A-Raichu that swept a lot of people? Yeah, I didn't see how it was hard. Menus and movement all seem slow compared to Gen 6. Don't get me started on EV training and breeding. Post-game is almost non-existent, even ORAS and XY had more of it.

One step forward, two steps back once again. My fault for having high expectations.

You were doing alright until this. The trick with bait is not to tip your hand like that. See, using the phrase "otaku bait" makes it obvious you've read SM discussions before and know the buzzwords that get thrown around.

I'm just on the third island right now, but so far I'm embarrased of having a "rival" like Hau. Every encounter I have had with him has ended on him being easily swept with one pokemon, the captains and Gladion beat his ass quickly as well....yet he keeps that vacant grin and sperging about malasadas.

Good sport and all, but hell if he's my equal. Skull grunts make my day when they appear.

As much as SM did things that pissed me off, they also did some really wonderful things as well. I personally can't say they are bad games, but I'm not gonna rank them, at least not yet. I'll wait until the next games of Gen 7 will come out before I do that.

But I mean, my expectations were barely anthing after I went through ORAS. ORAS in my opinion also were not bad, but majorly disappointing at least compared to FRLG and HGSS, but maybe I'll replay through ORAS again, because I do play every pokemon game at least twice.

Gen 1 list was accurate, gen 6 list had way too many opinions and stupid points. Sadly, this is similar to gen 6 list.
>blatant lies (postgame offers more than UBs and Battle Tree; you can battle more than once in SM's restaurant; there are additional Pokemon after you become the champion)
>repeating points (framerate is mentioned twice; multiple points about game being linear and handholdy)
>objectively shitty opinions (RotomDex is the best registration machine we EVER had, which instantly gives you info of acquired Pokemon; brief cameos are not always a bad thing)
>subjective nitpicks (specific clothing on Ride Pokemon; not every single Z Crystal needs a boss)
>lack of examples (I don't remember MANY Pokemon having 1-5% encounter rate)
>ignorance (Schooling is the opposite of useless ability, Water Compaction and Corrosion are not bad at all)

Probably so you don't have to transfer HUNDREDS OF POKEMON, just so you could complete the dex. They wanted to make it obtainable for once. And would you look at that? I actually had the patience to go and fill it up this time around!

Mind you, I do miss the non native pokedex entries. If only there was a way to avoid trying to compel players to have to own several generations of games to transfer pokemon over that they literally could not obtain in game without. Because let's face it, even though it might compel them to buy earlier games, several of them are old enough that they can't possibly be making sales on them.

Just keep doing what every game since RS did, and have two Pokedex lists. It's called the National Dex for a reason. Just make it so all the benefits come from filling out the local one instead of the National one. Easiest fucking fix.

Okay, I'm fully willing to put in all the work and effort to making a team and breeding and ev training and yada yada. I'm NOT prepared to spend hours running around in the same patch of grass to find a pokemon at an absurdly low encounter rate, or have to make a few hundred GTS offers just to fill up the dex. It's obnoxious and unfun.


Also as a completionist, the national dex being EMPTY AS FUCK because you can't possibly see or catch certain pokemon, and thus can't even get them online, unless the text feature is on and someone is insanely generous; irks me to no end and just... BOTHERS me.

>>
>>31063990
Wow...

These were... uh, these were good. And I don't mean good in the sense that they were amazingly programmed and amazingly programmed games, most of the mainline Pokemon games are, but they manage to still be extremely entertaining all the same. I mean that these were GREAT, they were exciting, entertaining.

The cutscenes are a breeze to get through. They wouldn't be so good if the characters weren't likable, but... they are. Hau is a great character, he's relatable, he does so much and helps you along your way when you're trying to explore the region. The same with Lillie, she's awesome and I could not care more about what her problems are. I thought that after ORAS Gamefreak learned how to write terrible characters, since they revisited an old game and worsened characters such as Wally, the evil team leaders and your rival. But guess not, because all the characters in SM are just universally good or wonderful (I guess Zinnia was a sign). Gladion is shit, I guess, he was a rehash of Silver, which is what I wasn't expecting, so that's bad enough. I mean, I hate the effort. Game also breaks the trend of Pokemon games that started somewhere around Gen 5 of you being some random asshole and talent less nobody, instead of just some chosen trainer that was destined for greatness.

Game was hard. I played with the Exp Share on and on shift and managed to finish the game with my party a good 5 to 10 levels below Kukui's. The supposed Hau battle with his A-Raichu that a lot of people swept? Yeah, I saw how it was hard. Menus and movement all seem fast compared to Gen 6. Get me started on EV training and breeding. Post-game is almost so much, only ORAS and XY had less of it.

One step back, two steps forward once again. My fault for having low expectations.

I thought the games were all right.
The new region with the new features was interesting.

I've always wanted cutscenes in Pokemon games, then again, the kind of cutscenes I've wanted were FF type of cutscenes. Them being literally everywhere was a tad annoying.

I wish the game had more new Pokemon, alolan forms, and I wished the UBs were more story oriented.

All in all, a lot of things I feel were wasted potential. But they were on the right track for freshness, I guess.
XY and ORAS were the same in this regard.

>>31072991
The fact that the cities consists of small buildings instead of towering skyscrapers, and also the design of those buildings themselves, gives the game a very rural feel to it, and I like that.

Rotomdex ended up not annoying me that much. I still prefer dexnav more since you can check the pokemon you haven't caught in a given area.

Having no HMs is good. I can see how people are a bit miffed at not being able to choose their own ride pokemon, but I think the selection is fine as it is right now (bar charizard, nigger's not even in the game). Not to mention they activate almost immediately.

Having one rod is okay, but they should make it that the bubbling spots have 0% chance of a magikarp showing up.

The PC does run smoother in ORAS, I agree with that. But the ability to instantly log in to move pokemon is also a good feature, because barely anyone actually ever choose the item storage option, nor the deposit/withdraw option. Hopefully GF will combine the two, but perhaps that's asking a bit too much.
>>

It's also an irrelevant one if it's slower than the previous game. Not to mention people used the item storage options a lot.
>>
>>31073194
Best Pokemon game would be:

>R/B's semi-nonlinear approach to storytelling
>BW's tier of how good a story actually is (or higher, preferably)
>XY's Horde, customization, and lower screen options
>SM's PC box, single rod (with tweaks) and HM cull
>HG/SS Pokemon following you
>FR/LG's VS Seeker
>>
>>31073157
>Meanwhile Mesprit literally watched over you since the beginning.
Not true but even then, HOW does that equate to being a chosen one? All Mesprit (and the rest) ever helped you with was getting through Distortion World and by then you had already proved yourself more than worthy.

All these faggots could talk about after launch is how the plot/story wasn't serious enough like their precious BW and thus the games were shit.

It wasn't until later that B2W2 started getting praise for basically being everything BW was not.

Be honest, you were never on /vp/ during Gen 5 were you.
The first few months were nothing but people working on join avenue and discussing the new shit within the game not unlike now with SM.

Level 100 magnemites named after the character in SMRPG because it was the favourite character of the guy distributing them. They fairly good stats so they were useful for breeding and people collected boxes of them because of it.

Because of the trades Magnemite was also the most traded pokemon on the GTS until the very end.

Only shit that let me down was Zygarde being nothing but a shitty fetch quest and the reward shouldn't be a new temporary form of it, feels less rewarding and it is just stupid when the Zygarde Cube already changes the 2 other forms at will, same shit should apply to Complete form too. And it felt really shoehorned into SM, which is bad too.

Another thing was the removal of the national dex, along with way too few Alolan forms of older Kanto 'mons.

Because ORAS is set up weird and unlock 90% of the content before postgame. Like SM, in ORAS you aren't forced to complete the game before accessing additional Pokemon. And its regional dex is even smaller than SM's.

Let's hope Stars is better, because SM are factually worse than ORAS.

Yeah I agree. Lillie's story was just not interesting and neither was her character. Hau was deadweight. Why should I care about some random girl's family issues.

Fuck you I like all the Pokemon mainline games and this one was great too. Why do we have to just constantly shit on the mainline titles? 1 started it all and is still pretty fun to mess around with the glitches, 2 brought in stuff like Skarmory and apricorn balls+rematches, 3 gave the games full color and began the "survivability" of pokemon being transferred to today (not counting 1-2 compat), 4 had fun online components and connective features, 5 brought a ton of great new pokemon and new features that were excellent additions, 6 brought new life to the graphics and further streamlined online, and 7 provided a fun, involved story and brought in some great new (pelago) and old (plaza) features.

They all have flaws but if you can only see the flaws without appreciating any of the positives, why are you even playing Pokemon still? Why did you bother completing them? And most of all, why do you need to tell us over and over?

Not really. It's just kind of pathetic because a lot of people on this board unfortunately agree with that.
