9/10 best game of the year

things I dislike

-You cant swim between the islands
-Braindead puzzles that shouldnt exist in first place, like the stones you have to move with Machamp before Bulu
-dungeons too linear and simple
-too many cut scenes in the first hour
-lack of move tutors, no way to give earth power to gastrodon for example

I can think of other things but overall its one of the best games.
It is one of the most challenging Pokemon games if you play with the exp share off, but the difficulty is only found in boss battles.

7 from trials, 1 from Molayne, which is after the trial. 4 from the Kahunas. Buginium Z after beating Guzma in Po Town. Poisonium Z after you fight 5 grunts.

>Double battles and battle royale are nearly "unplayable"
K E K - """nearly unplayable"""

>legendary or an equivalent
Since when does 570 BST count as a "legendary"? And you can catch multiple Ultra Beasts (some of them), so they couldn't be legendary

>Corrosion doesn't affect attacking move
Status moves isn't affected by immunity, you can Sand-attack flying Pokemon. How ever some types have immunity to certain conditions. The ability lifts Steel and Poison immunity to being Poisoned. But Poison still can't hit Steel.
Emergency Exit - for another +2 priority First Impression?
Innard out - You still have to take considerations before knocking it out. Also the Soak + toxic combo will wear you out.

Not the guy, but they could have taken a page from HAL and made it so if you had the appropriate pokemon in your party, it would just reskin the PokeRide to the corresponding pokemon you have.

Like how Stadium 2 had it so you could use different Pokemon for the minigames such as Girafarig for Furret Frolic and Omanyte for Tumbling Togepi.

Oh that's a straight up different complaint than worse variety

Which is a complaint of missed opportunities

Also all of those were warily obtained in the last games without dex nav

That would be like complaining Kalos doesnt have many Unova pokemon

Still bullshit about Lunatone and Solrock though
>>
>>31128713
Like I said, if I have a bunch of cute waifumon, how could I shove boulders without Pokeride Machamp?
So you'll have to implement both the rental and party into the pokeride system. Which is unnecessary. Have either one, you can't have both.

Wally's didn't really need to be remixed, but those others definitely along with Colress. I mean, really guys. Comparing it to BW2 where they remixed/redid all gym leader and champion songs for PWT, they really couldn't fucking add some more bleeps and bloops to Colress's theme?

Seems similar to me, I was just basically saying there aren't enough kinds of Pokemon to catch. And saying "oh you can transfer them from the last game" isn't a good excuse since they haven't even added that feature yet and it's going to cost 5 dollars

It's ridiculously easy to earn a lot of BP in the Battle Tree. You complained about some Z-crystals being handed to you for free, now you complain about having to work hard to get some item? The fuck?

Yeah no. SM very much DO need Stars/Eclipse/Prism to save them. They were so sorely disappointing, and even people who liked them know this to be true.

>>31129625
Agreed. There's just too many issues with SM that a third version could easily fix.

Like adding more double battle trainers, and rotation/triple battles where they were clearly supposed to happen (but had to be removed because the 3DS fucking sucks).

And move tutors.

I'd say the pacing was the worst part. The game is endless cutscenes until the third challenge. But after you become Champion and finish the Looker Missions, you end up wanting more.

I think the bounty-hunting sidequests present both here and in the Mirage Legendaries subquest in ORAS are what kept me playing; the fact that there is something out there that needs to be defeated, but little if any hand-holding for the journey. It's just you, your Pokemon, and your goal. Nobody is asking anything of you, and you need to push yourself to do it instead of being pulled along by the plot.

desu the 3 most glaringly annoying /DURING GAMEPLAY/ things were for me:

Almost everyone has 1-2 / 1-3 pokemon, and they're incredibly weak and you overlevel even with EXP.SHARE off. You just kinda shit on trainers effortlessly, and it's more of an annoyance in your quest to catch that shitmon you don't have yet rather than an actual memorable battle.

SOS system pisses me off by calling shit when I'm trying to finish a battle or catch something, and pisses me off by not working when I actually want to SOS grind. System should be separated again.

Have to go to the plaza to wonder trade and the plaza is gay and worthless.

>railroading (been a problem since BW but now it's just fucking ridiculous)
>most trainers having literally 1 unevolved Pokemon each, I started avoiding some trainers on my second round since it became more time-effective to just grind on wild evolved Pokemon instead
>slowness, not gen 4 tier bad but still noticable, especially in battles
>little to no exploration, legendary dungeons seem to be a dropped concept by now
>small number of new Pokemon, out of which almost 20 are legendaries and totally-not-legendaries
>most non-legendary new Pokemon are terrible in battles
>new pentagon rule this early when pkhex still exists and is easily available
>little new music, first island being the fucking worst since it reuses the same goddamn theme like 3 times, only slightly remixed
>everything about the festival plaza
>everything about the postgame
>almost everything about hyper training

Things I enjoyed
>the plot
>the characters
>the death of HMs
>the difficulty sometimes (totem battles, evil team boss battles etc)
>the region aesthetics
>the regional dex (XYs was way too bloated imo)
>the few new Pokemon they added have cool designs
>>
I'm disappointed by the lack of plot behind the UC, Silvally/Type 0 and Necrozma..from the previews I expected a much more detailed lore
Also why the fuck Marshadow is only downloadable?

Well, I admit I also thought this to be the case when the trademarks leaked but Necrozma being the third of the trio is not too bad either. I just hope it doesn't get Zygarde'd out of its own game.

>>31134929
I'm aware of the lore behind Type:Null but it still ended up having absolutely no importance in the game's story. Even a short cinematic cutscene of it fighting tooth and nail against the Ultra Beast invasion (you know, the things it was DESIGNED to beat) would've made it so much more memorable than it is now.

>>31135030
there is some lore to it, but you'd need to do some research in order to figure it out. Necrozma is based on a prism and a chunk of aether, with the latter element being the absolute endpoint that Alchemists were trying to research. It -- or at least the ingredients thereto-- was allegedly located deep underground, as stated in the VITRIOL motto: "Visita Interiora Terræ Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem," meaning "Visit the interior of the earth and [by] purifying [yourself] you will find the hidden stone”.

Guess who was found underground at Ten Carat Hill, the known site of an underwater volcano?

I wanted the came because it seemed fun, so I bought it, and turned out liking it. Despite this, I have no intention of advertising it, because I wouldn't receive any reward or payment whatsoever by doing so. If someone wants to play it, but not spend money, the .cia file is already uploaded and circulating for them to download for free.

As for the game's flaws, I recognize them, but do not attempt to justify them. I simply look past them. I do not care about them in any form.

The lore is fun and engaging to discuss, so I bring it up and hope someone responds so I can start a conversation.

I like having fun. I like discussing things. That's why I'm here. What would I have to gain through advertising here?

There's no wonder to be had when the game digests everything to you.

"Oh look, a new city, let's go explor" Lillie/Hau initiates a cutscene, no exploring for you

"Finally I can explore, but most buildings besides the essential are closed. Guess I'll just go to the next rout-" another cutscene on the way out, and another after you change zones, and then you find out that this route is just a straight line with a bunch of Kanto pokemon. Yaaay...
>>
>>31135499
Not him, but back when people were children, they did not see games as bits of code written on a chip in a plastic shell. They saw it as an experience. An adventure to be had. The fact that you can say that the games are the worst in the series implies that you have had such feelings about previous games in the series.

To others, this game might just be that adventure that they are looking for, and might be one of the best ones they ever have in their lives.

>sense of wonder
apart from that one route leading to the rehash tree there is nothing to explore once you beat the game

I didn't, but even with the bubbles it was a nightmare. I have found female Salandit in abundance though, so there's that.

I would catch a Lapras whether or not I needed it to be able to surf, but to address that concern expand the number of pokemon that can be ridden and you kill that feeling of "I only captured x for flying/surfing/breaking boulder ect.". Instead of only having 2 pokemon that you can surf on they expanded it to 5 or 6 it wouldn't be so limiting.

So what if a young girl play the game and she only like to use cute Pokemon and "waifumon". Then which Pokemon should she use or catch to shove the boulders, without a rental Machamp?
>>
>>31136065
I think the magic of a shiny is making a mon look appealing with another pallete, it doesnt matter the amount of color you change, but make it appealing and/or clever.

If you're going to leave the mon almost the same, then the shiny loses all the magic, AND if you're going to change just one color, at least make it worth it.

For example, Litten line looks hideous in shiny, changing black to white is not clever in this instance because white looks weird with Red, if they wanted to mix it with white, they could have changed the RED to it (and they would've still changed just one color).

>>31136166
Game Freak has demonstrated how dumb it can be on several occasions, but if you have 5 or 6 pokemon it should be pretty easy to prevent that kind of sameness. Most of the pokemon the spring to mind when I think of what pokemon would be used for moving boulders,Graveler, Hariyama, Machamp, Lucario, Conkeldurr, Heracross, and Gallade, aren't exactly "waifumon" either.

yes, that's pretty damn weird to be honest. SM is the better game by far, XY or the whole of gen6 is as low as it can get considering Pokemon games.
>>
>>31137004
No.

Like I'm not saying XY were the best Pokemon games ever, because they certainly messed up in a few spots there (and didn't get the usual third version to fix those mistakes to boot)

But SM tried changing up the formula and suffered horribly for it. Would have been better off with the usual 8 gyms/you beat up evil team formula that was used in previous generations (but without ditching the riding Pokemon thing because fuck HMs).

I'm expecting gyms to come back in Gen 8 and for the fanbase to cheer.

>most casualized
Played it with exp share off so my pokemon were underleveled and unlike gen 1 ,with the same level difference, you couldn't one shot elite 4 pokemon with a super effective move. So the pokemon are probably EV trained.


>most characters are insignificant to the story
Like in all pokemon game, 90% of the gyms leader, elite 4 etc... are like that

>HM replacements
This is complaining for the sake of complaining, people bitched for 20 years that HM force you to have certain pokemon in your team and waste a move slot, they find a solution that let you make the team you want but people still complain.

>double battles and battle royale are nearly unplayable
Nice hyperbole

>most linear game yet
People say that every fucking gen, but every pokemon game is linear. If you want a non linear game play an open world not pokemon.

>there no puzzles
Most gym doesn't have puzzles, and except 1 or 2, they are easy as fuck

>Totem battles are few in number
You had 7 totem battles+ 4 Kahuna, in other game you only had 8 gym leader. Also you have a mini-boss on each route who will use Z-moves or more advanced strategy like the ula'ula meadow golfer who use a guts Hariyama and a trick alakazam both with flame orb

>Corrosion (doesn't affect attacking-moves)
Who the fuck care, most of the time you cill use toxic to poison anything.

>to Pokemon that will never be able to make good use of them
You mean like most pokemon? Iron fist Ledian exist

>A number of abilities are the same renamed
Nothing new: Vital spirit and insomnia, Huge power and pure power, air lock and cloud nine etc...

>SOS system
It also make the game harder, you should like it if you complain about the game being "casualized"
Also you have other methode to ev-train, like the bouncy house in the festival plaza or Poké Pelago

What did you expect from a SuMo shill?

>>31137561
>>31137096
Thank you for further confirming that nobody liked the changes in SuMo. What a fucking worthless """""game""""".

>>31137506
Would you prefer the cinematic experience that is SuMo?

>>31137822
Nope, everyone on /vp/ agrees that SuMo is atrocious and the worst in the series. Accept it shill.

>>31137747
Why is SuMo so casualized, bros?
>>
>>31137890
6 hours out of the 10 it takes to beat this shit. Literally the Superman 64 of Pokemon.

>>31137915
Can you blame us for not wanting to watch this monstrosity again?

Game kinda ended by the seafolk village

Everything after that wAs a giant victory lap

You've been making these threads for weeks. What's your problem?

- they didn't even try with trials, it's almost as if they want this to be a "case study" they can point to in the future to prove that "people don't want anything but gyms" when really they just did the most half-assed job possible
- focus on story makes replays a chore
- low amount of new pokemon (and they didnt even really make up for it with the new forms like gen 6 did)
- festival plaza is kind of a mess

other than that it's pretty good
>>
>>31137942
Fuck off shill, people are finally waking up to the fact that SuMo were shitty ass games.

Convincing post chum. I hate SM now!

I hope the people saying encounter rates are shit, also realize that certain patches of grass have higher encounter rates than others.

I still think the encounter rate in general, meaning the amount of times I get interrupted when trying to move past a patch of grass, is ass.

It's not an opinion; it's a fact. The sooner you shills accept this, the less your ass will continue to burn.

>>31139330
Watch his faggot ass come up with a completely assblasted paragraph about how SuMo are such perfect games and how superior he is to us which will be the most ironic shit ever.

XY were the first 3D main series games.

It didn't impress me as don't really care about graphics, but I imagine that all that work took a toll on the game's content. It hyped itself on mega evolution and delivered. No harm done.

gen 7 however has no excuse. Reused all the models from XY, so the chunk of the work was already done, then overhyped itself (just go look at the trailers, like the Type: Null and Ultra Beast ones, and remember all the discussion going on about them) and failed to deliver.

The story is a gripe of mine. Nihilego is the only UB featured in the story. Type Null's "purpose" in the end was just lore. Guzma and the Team Skull completely disappears after a certain part, and in the end the plot was really "mother wants to chill with her UBs but daughter do not want". It had fucking nothing to do with you, Type Null, Ultra Beasts (besides Nihilego) or even Pokemon. You can transfer this plot to any other JRPG.

Region could be bigger.
Lots of water mons are hard to find.
Need one more PC in Poni.
Can´t go to the golf field.

Also gotta have more interaction between Gladion and Chicken-chan. Because I want it.

As someone who actually likes SM, you hit every single major problem. Just one thing I'd like to clarify.

>horrible EXP grind
For leveling up one single Pokemon, this is quite possibly the worst generation ever outside of Gen 2, and you can't transfer stuff from those over to Gen 7 anyways.

>Gen 1
Missingno.png
>Gen 3
Emerald Cloning glitch allowed for easy duplication of rare candies, if you were truly crazy you could set up Secret Bases with nothing but level 100 Blissey in them (absurd amount of work but the payoff of the EXP grind becoming a joke); Lucky Egg was borderline impossible to get but was easily clonable once you did finally get it.
>Gen 4
Very high level trainers to fight in PtHGSS in general; Lucky Egg was easier to get but still a hellish grind and couldn't be cloned anywhere near as easily (But if you got it in Gen 3 you could port your cloned Lucky Eggs over just fine)
>Gen 5
EXP scaling present; Audino existed and gave fucktons of EXP, freebie Lucky Egg existed and it was possible to get more of them if you got lucky, B2W2 had the possibility of fighting Level 90+ Blissey owned by trainers for absurd EXP gains, O-Powers allowed for temporary doubling of EXP, Join Avenue existed
>Gen 6
No EXP scaling, very high level trainer Pokemon available in general, ORAS making getting more Lucky Eggs a joke (hi Pelliper), the return of Blissey Secret Bases (except no longer hell to set up!), Pass Powers allowed for temporary doubling of EXP
>Gen 7
EXP scaling returns, only 1 Lucky Egg per savefile, highest level Pokemon used by rematchable trainers is 65 (and that's if you get lucky and get the one guy with a full team of 6 in a E4 run), Pickup nerfed, Festival Plaza exists but is only barely worth the effort given the painful grind for FC; games introduce mechanic that requires Pokemon to be level 100 to take part in it just to rub it in

At least Gen 7 still has the Gen 6 EXP Share for mass-grinding?

Sun and Moon was the first pokemon game I've played in about a decade. Can someone tell me how I'm supposed to feel about it?

I beat it in a couple days and just powered through everything without grinding levels even once. I had a bit of trouble by the time I got to the elite four. I guess I didn't really play the game correctly but I just wanted to finish it quickly.

Thinking about now playing Black and White, since that seems to be one of the most loved pokemon games from the past few gens. I'd probably take more time with that one.
>>
There are no real puzzles or dungeon crawls. The longest you ever spend in one area doing something is leading up to the dragon trial. There is no encounters before any of the legendary pokemon and you find necrozma wandering around at random in an area you've had access to since the first kahuna.
>>
>>31126058
Not even variety on Melemele Island. Seriously, I'm tried hard to make a full 6 party simply because I could do so but I wasn't able. Either my team was missing an important coverage type or I was deathly weak to Rock. Lilligant needed more coverage options and there simply weren't too many choices for Water/Grass/Fire Pokemon until Akala. What's ironic is that there are a bunch of Water-types on the first island but they are locked until you get to Lana. Bullshit.

SuMo is atrocious and you would only enjoy it if you were paid to do so.

>>31140559
>strawpoll

>>31139813
Shhhh, don't tell that to the SuMo shills, they only think with their feelings.
>>
I just noticed how there are almost too few optional dungeons in the game. Everything is too railroaded. And i feel they stopped giving a fuck by Poni Island.
>>
>>31141155
You should have dropped the game sooner. This is hatlrdly even a game.

Chronicled for the further BTFOening of an already BTFOed game

Black and White is very polarizing, and is actually pretty similar to SM as they both have a story that's constantly shoved down your throat.
>>
>>31141196
I already finsihed and still enoying it though

:^)

>>31126058

Your constant shitposting
>>
>>31139406
Thus far, all you have done to confirm your opinion as fact is exaggerate even the least significant flaws the games possess. Most people on this site overlook these flaws and seek to have fun in the games simply because they want to have fun. That's why the games were made in the first place; so that people can have fun. And as sales figures repeatedly state, Sun and Moon are not only two of the most successful games released in 2016, they are the most popular games in the entire Pokemon franchise. Based on this, one can say that the games are the absolute best in the series.

>>31142519
I'd say story in BW is not presented in such annoying way as in SM. Or maybe I'm biased since I'm an Unovabortion
>>
>>31126763
it allows you to catch things, what they mean is no new areas are opened up post-game with unseen Pokemon
>>
>>31139813
Guzma being a pawn of Lusamine was a big disappointment. I wanted to see a Skull vs Aether thing like Aqua/Magma except not shit.
>>
>>31126286
A lot of these complaints will only matter to competitive players and let's be fucking honest, Game Freak doesn't really give a shit about that crowd. They just like to throw them a bone.
>>
>>31126286
Are there any images like these for all other gens?
>>
99% of the trainers only had one fucking pokemon.
>>
>>31126596
I actually liked him more than the previous "happy" protagonists.
>>
>>31141005
Play HGSS if you want nostalgia for the old games.

Play BW if you want something that feels like a rebooted gen 1.
>>
>>31143669
There is an ORAS one and an RBY one. Idk if any others have been made.

>>31143608
Over half those complaints are about the in-game story though
>>
>>31128750
Kill yourself, faggot.
>>
>>31144423
I went out of my way to get Sneaky Pebbles onto my lead Smeargle, and it can do a whopping NOTHING with it over half of the fights in the game. This isn't anything NEW mind you, but even the fights with the leaders don't have more than 3 pokemon.
