What's /vp/'s verdict on SM?
>>
>>31572689
I liked it. Most fun I've had with pokemon is some time.
>>
8 or 9/10
>>
>>31572689
Underwhelming

>>31572689
Ok but could have been better

Will age decently well

Only game I've not played through more than once. I blame the pokedex, retarded story and empty post game.
>>
>>31572689

I thought I was done with Pokemon with XY
Therefore skipped ORAS
Bought Sun Moon and ended up liking them a lot
I have 200 hours in the game, mainly breeding and ev training pokemon

It had a fun story, two entertaining villainous teams, some pretty cool Pokemon and a nice soundtrack.

>>31572689
Pretty dang good. I love the new Pokemon designs and the game is pretty comfy, one of the few that I really enjoyed fucking around in after the end. It'll age pretty well too because the online is a minor component (like gen 4), but that does detract from competitive players enjoyment.
>>
7/10. It still has a lot of glaring flaws, but you can tell they at least put in a lot of effort into worldbuilding and the plot.

It also shows how out of touch GF is with modern gamers, though. Terrible customization, needing to choose from 4 trainer presets instead of letting you customize your looks, unskippable cutscenes, lack of sidequests, Festival Plaza as a PSS replacement, non-skippable tutorials despite acknowledging that they have an older fanbase. SM is really clunky overall because of this.

>>31572689
I was promised a game.
All I got was an interactive movie that has basicly zero good story, is full of handholding, has a really poorly made and limited map and around 80 new Pokemon that are all as weak as the route 1 rodents from former gens while being as rare as most pseudos. It's overall just a big nothing. I can't even properly say if like or hate them because there were some things like the HM removal and cool designs that were actually pretty good. But overall it's just a big empty nothing that still makes me question to this day why they just didn't work on it one more year and release a good game that isn't full of pointless cutscenes, bullshit and lags on the switch. Guess you should never expect much from franchises that are ancient and do anything to somehow keep it alive.
>>
Main game was a lot of fun but everything other than advancing the plot kinda sucked.
7/10
>>
>>31572689
I riked it
>>
Just like every gen it has flaws

But overall it does a lot good, especially as the first game in a gen

Pokémon Palego, Ride Pokemon, The Island challenge especially with Totem Pokemon, more focus on characters and their personalities similar to gen 5, etc

It has signs of being rushed, there aren't as good puzzles or dungeons and there could've been more in post game despite how decent the UB Hunt and Tapu's are as well as the boogaloo of the Battle Tree

But overall the quality and things your able to do was pulled off really well
>>
>>31572689
Love it. Just started another playthrough today.

Just like XY the first half of the game is much better than the second half
If it had better trials and better new Pokemon distribution it would be much better

>makes me question to this day why they just didn't work on it one more year and release a good game that isn't full of pointless cutscenes, bullshit and lags on the switch.

No fossils + lack of good Ghost types (especially when one of the fossils could've been a Rock/Ghost fossilized tiki mask). Wasn't the biggest fan of the regional dex, Kalos had a few more pokemon and a much better quality selection. 8/10 for me.
>>
8/10. Best Pokémon game in a long while and miles better than XYORAS and B2W2 (BW is good despite the hate). It's only lacking post-game (it's literally XY tier except Battle Tree is cooler) and more things to do. Overall a great step towards the next incredible game. Not buying a Switch though. Id rather wait for an emulator.

Honestly, I really enjoyed the story. It was nice having one after X and Y's flop after Gen5. The only thing I wanted was the post game to be enjoyable. There's nothing really to do. I hate breeding in it because of autism box. I mean I could also be bitter because I had to complete the Alolan dex for my shiny charm (mostly the 1% encounters made me REEEEEE). I just wish it had more things to dick around with.

It's the sane thing all over again, Gen 5 came, everyone hated it and praised 4, Gen 6 came, everyone hated it and praised 5 and now Gen 7 came and everyone is praising (well most) 6. It's the Zelda cycle all over again. Didn't believe it myself, but now looking at it, yeah you cucks are no different :^)
>>
As someone who doesn't give half a flying fuck about any human character in pokémon, I wanted to punch Lillie in the face throughout the whole thing.
But Alola is great, the regional dex is elder god tier, UB's are cool but underexploited. The game has lots of potential but feels like they had to rush it to meet the deadlines with the unused golf course and shit like that.
7/10 good game but pls add a skip cutscene button

None of this happened.
For one gen 4 was universally hated and still is to an extent while 5 not only caused the creation of this board but was liked until the recent flood kids.
6 came out and was liked up until bank happened and 7 caused new appreciation for 6.
There is no cycle.

Did you even read what I wrote? The only reason I enjoyed the plot was because the characters actually did something (similarly to Gen5). I pretty much said I only enjoyed it for the plot. I hated the game other than that
>>
They could have used the UBs in the story better. I also didn't care for the fact that you have to act as Lillie's body guard for a chunk of the game and all she does is add unnecessary cutscenes to tell you that she wants to buy clothes or take Cosmog to the ruins for the umpteenth time.

The multiplayer functionality is also straight up worse than Gen 6 and the removal of passerby detection removed what little remaining reason I had to play on cart instead of showdown.

The good things about the game are the changed up formula with a decent challenge and the PC and battle menu updates.

Overall good for a single playthrough but shit replayability.
>>
>>31572689
>reads the thread
So now we all agree that SuMo are the worst games in the series? Thank fuck, maybe we can abandon this corpse of a franchise now.
>>
>>31572689
The comfiest I've felt about a game since Gen IV.

Ignoring that though, I'd say it was okay. First play through is great, but the cut scenes are unbearable on any runs after that. Certainly not the best, but also definitely not the worst.
>>
>>31572689
Better than gen 4 or 5, not quite as good as gen 6 yet, but well on its way.

>5 not only caused the creation of this board

Wait, what?
>>
>>31575258
You just described a cycle, though.

And it's perfectly natural. If you think of the board as a monolith the cycle doesn't make sense, but when you realize /vp/'s constantly getting new posters and losing old ones it's perfectly logical. Right now we live in a time where most of the posters are children who grew up with gen 4 and 5. Thus, 4 and 5 are inordinately praised, while 6 and 7 are happening in their "Pokemon isn't cool anymore" phase that many of us who grew up with RGBY went through with gen 3.

It's just the passage of time, anon.
>>
>>31574749
>reverse-shilling cucks

>>31573205

Not to mention there aren't any very memorable cities or routes. The 4th island is an outlier as well as the snowy mountain peak before the E4. It's hard for me to conjure up an image of what "Alola" is. You think about it and just recall standard, cookie-cutter routes and beaches that all look the same.
>>
>>31573739

Mimikyu, Dhelmise, and A-Marowak are the only Ghost types (unless you chose Rowlet) that you would even CONSIDER using. 2 out of those 3 pokemon are single stage, which are less fun to use during playthroughs, and Alolawak is slow as balls just like a supermajority of the whole sex. Also you shouldn't count Ghosts from other regions, I'm talking about Alola's regional dex.

And yet there's Pokemon Refresh. They rendered status healing items obsolete with one of their own new features.

I use maybe 1 status healing item in 160 hours of gameplay when I needed to mid battle. Otherwise you just wait till the battle ends and heal their status condition in Pokefresh.

Seriously I have a collection of like 40 Full Heals, and 10 each of those biscuits you get daily from the Pokebean cafes.

while the main story line was fun and there's a lot of creativity with the new pokemon designs, the lack of any post game content again left a bad aftertaste which I hope "Stars" will be able to fix, whether its a sequel to sun/moon or a sinnoh remake.

8.1/10

>>31572689

decent game with significant issues.

some improvements, some failures, hoping they learn from the mistakes for the next games.

story was pretty bad
cutscenes were unforgivable
new pokemon are mostly crap
enviroments were pretty good
although the game was too small (can't complain because they would have extended the shit story)
lack of good features from older games hurt this a lot.

overall 6/10

I like it a lot better than Gen 6 overall, however I like to breed a lot, and the sun and moon PC is the laggist shit. Gen 6 was silky smooth, and i think the pokemon sprites look worse on the summary and PC too. how did they unoptimise sun and moon that badly.

>>31572689
These are the worst games yet. The story writing is bad, full of missed opportunities and doesn't make sense, while also being extremely prevalent and choking the player with cutscenes and railroading.

Alola is small and boring, no locations there are fun to explore or memorable. It's so barebones. "level design" can barely be applied to this game because of how streamlined and insubstantial the routes and caves are. I sure wish there were more places like Shoal Cave, Dark Cave or Chargestone Cave here. Then there's also bullshit like the Exeggutor Express or Mt. Lanakila's elevators robbing the player of exploration and content.

I'm sure most people know about the details of this by now but everything related to online play and breeding/raising competitive Pokémon is a downgrade from ORAS. No hordes, no egg loop (the box is shit because it can damage your circle pad if you're trying to be efficient), no move tutors, the IV Judge is now far away from the daycare again, no PSS and probably more I'm forgetting.

On the bright side I see the Poké Ride which is a good replacement for HMs albeit still far from perfect. I also like the Poké Pelago a lot, offers some great features while lorewise making it seem not cruel to store Pokémon in boxes.

Overall I guess I'd give them a 3/10 if I had to rate them.

>>
>>31575218
>UB's invade the place and nothing happens

In fairness the second they invaded the island guardians were on their ass so they didn't really have a chance to start shit.
>>
I'm not sure to be honest. I mean, while the story wasn't perfect I appreciated it way more than anything other than Gen 5, and the Alola region really felt alive despite weak design in many areas. I also felt like it was pretty new and fresh and I like a lot of the new Pokemon, and not having to clutter movesets with HMs was great. It's actually more difficult in places than previous games, and I appreciated the Totem battles a lot. Required more strategy than most gyms. Overall, I really enjoyed going through this game, and will give it another whirl now that Bank is up.

However, there's a load of boneheaded choices that just make no sense. Like why are all the new Pokemon rare as hell? Why is the SOS mechanic such ass? Why are there 90 Kanto Pokemon in the dex, yet 30 of everything else minus Alola which still has less than Kanto? Why are cutscenes STILL unskippable? They really took a step backwards with player accessibility, apart from being able to see everything about the Pokemon you just caught. That was awesome.

Despite the complaints, more positive than negative and definitely enjoyed it more than some other games (ORAS, DP). It kind of reminds me of Metroid: Other M, but a hell of a lot better in execution.
>>
>>31575699
You do realise what a cycle is right?
For a cycle to exist there has to be a pattern for it to follow.

The fact that gen 5 has had an extended, let's say grace period while 4 still remains the least liked gen by a large margin breaks this cycle already. Then there's gen 3 which recieved it's hate period between 5 and 6 when that cycle suggests it should be extremely popular.

I'll ask again, do you honestly know what a cycle is?

Probably my favourite Pokemon game to date, story-wise.

Gameplay-wise, it runs like garbage.
Game Freak needs to learn how to optimise their models and oh my sweet christ those particle effects.

There's no excuse for a game as basic-looking as Pokemon to run as badly as it does, when games with even more going on on the screen can work just fine.

>>31576529

However I appreciate that.
>>
>>31576514
Yeah because a meta where Z moves are used in meme sets is truly representative of real play.
>>
>>31576609
You do realise pokemon like Gyarados and Salamence or Araquanid use Z-moves in non ironic ways, right? Dropping a nuke on a possible counter/switch is something everything wants to do and even mons like Heatran use Z-moves as trap sets for switches (Bloom Doom Heatran is a thing).
But what can I expect from a board that 99% of don't even know competitive to begin with.

Somehow managed to be even worse than XY. 2/10 will probably drop Pokémon forever if the next games don't significantly improve.

Wasted potential, still the best first game of every gen. Unfortunately it can't compete againist stronger game like B2W2, Platinum etc... but is much better than BW and Diamond/Pearl. I hope they release a 3rd game of it

A fantastic pair of games that, while not perfect, really stand out after the series of disappointments that was Gen VI.

Sun and Moon have a distinct tone and character of their own, and they introduce a wide variety of memorable Pokémon designs, characters and locales. Z-Moves make for a fun addition to battles that don't feel as forced, marketing-wise, as Mega Evolution. The games, while not particularly difficult, at the very least required actual thought to get through, which is refreshing, again, in comparison to what's come out before.

Sun and Moon are ultimately only really held back by Game Freak's typical incompetence when it came to waiting again for Bank, Mega Stone distribution, etc.

I felt the totem battles were a lot more interesting than Gym battles, since your opponents use various stratagies against you (for example Wishiwashi summons Alomomola which can Heal Pulse it to prevent it from losing school form and use Helping Hand to power up its moves).

I really like regional variants and hope they'll make more. Alolan Muk might have become my second favorite 'mon.

Some stuff bothers me. Parts of the stories felt like wasted potential (UBs in general, only Nihilego really did anything, rest was just a side thing in the postgame). PSS is gone, which I'll miss dearly. No mega stones for certain 'mons (really sucked since I bred myself a shiny Beedrill for Sun/Moon before they released, since I didn't own ORAS).

But overall, I think they were neat. I'm wondering what they'll do next. What sort of other game will be part of the seventh generation and will it adress any of the issues?

Story was neat, easily my second favourite after bw/bw2.

Getting HAs/egg moves/good IVs feels easier than ever before, so competitive is less of a grind to get into.

>Bad
Way too much handholding/tutorials

I miss horde EV training and ORAS's bottom screen

Lol I second this.

Sun and Moon rank very bigly on my list simply because they made it easy to get into competitive with legitmons. It's easier to check IVs and it's easier to get 6IV Pokemon, and that's really all you need to enjoy online. Back in the old games, you had to manage fighting injectmons and this was a huge issue because if you wanted to use a legit legendary, you would have to soft-reset for good nature AND good IVs. Y'all complain about no postgame but in all honesty, actually having a shot at winning online matches is all I need to be able to occupy myself.

>no Natdex
>half the mega stones are missing
>SOS system is much more frustrating than the Horde system it replaced

Overall it was a little disappointing to be honest.

I really enjoyed it. I found myself enjoying every minute of the main story (no idea what people mean by "too many cutscenes," they must have hideous ADHD to not be able to handle a little bit of storytelling), and as soon as I finished I jumped into competitive and shiny hunting. Already over 250 hours and not stopping yet.

This. Also the map is tiny compared to previous gens (except for gen 6) and there is a lack of exploration.

Great taste. Can't really argue with this.

I havent touched the game in weeks and i dont feel i want to. I havent had this even with XY and that says a lot

If the second game of gen 7 will be Alola 2 i might aswell choose gen 7 as the worst in the series yet

Loved it, favourite Pokemon game by far.
Wished for more post game, but doesn't bother me anyway.

I'm not even mad, I'm fucking impressed than game freak managed to make a game worse than ORAS and XY

Oh hey, its the guy posting the same boxart picture and talking about the honeymoon phase. Then furiously frothing at the posts how everyone who dared to liked the game even a bit is a shill.

And newfags are responding seriously, because of course.
