And menus. Seriously, go back and forth from SM to XY/ORAS, you'll notice.
>>
>>32557079
The overall game feels slower than gen 6. Even hp drops more slowly like it was gen 4 again.
>>
>>32557008

It had a lot of character to it. The trial captains felt more memorable than most gym leaders.
>>
>>32557051
>Making ev training more tedious
Wrong. Ev training and breeding easier than it's ever been. The problem is there's isn't a place to grind your Pokémon quickly.
>>
>>32557051
Agree.
Except I don't think it was much tougher than XY at all. I would also add not enough new Pokémon added in SM, and too many were legendaries and single stages.
>>
>>32557102
Whoa, it definitely empties slower than Gen VI, but it's not III or IV slow.

>>32557150
>no way to quickly EV train intricate spreads
>no literally mindless loop, just carpeltunnel inducing circle pad breaking autism box

Nah.
>>
>>32557150
It is more tedious. All you needed in XY is a sweet scent pokemon and use hordes. Fully trained in just under 10 mins.
>>
>>32557051
Alola was fucking ass as a region.
>>
>>32557171
I'm not saying they were difficult, but totem battles alone made them more challenging than XY. XY are literally baby's first pokemon game.
>>
>>32557197
There is literally a busted Pokemon in every area near totems that trivialize the entire thing.
>>
>>32557185
SOS training is almost as fast, that's fine for 252/252/4 spreads. But if you want anything other than that you either gotta do it old school or wait a day or two for Pelago to do it for you.
>>
>>32557185
I remember calculating how much faster hordes are than SOS battles in regards to EV training a while ago. It's nearly twice as fast IIRC.
>>
>>32557197
I get what you're saying, but I never understood this difficulty people had with the Totems. I defeated all of them with one under-leveled Pokémon with type advantage. I think Mimikyu was the only one to make me switch. It's not a bragging thing; I just truly wonder what teams some people built that made SM even the slightest bit challenging.
>>
>>32557197
The only Totem I had problems with was Wishiwashi because my team had nothing SE to Water and several weaknesses, and I just grabbed the Klink with Charge Beam I had sitting in the box from my first use of Island Scan and it solo'd the thing. When I replayed with and I used Litten I wanted to make a flashy KO on Lurantis by using Inferno Overdrive after Castform used Sunny Dance and even with wasting turn after turn waiting for reinforcements to call one I never felt on my toes.

the amount of cut scenes are completely unbearable to me. I only just beat the elite four today, 6 months into the games release because I couldn't stand it. And now I have the cut scenes for this stupid island festival playing. Christ, just let me skip them and play.
>>
>>32557986
To me it was more that I felt the story was getting in the way of actually playing the game.
>>
It was great for a pokemon game.
But as usual after you've done the Story there's not much reason to keep playing anymore.

I dream that one day we'll have a pokemon game similar to the new Zelda. where you can get lost in the sheer size of the world and side tracked with lots of side quests.
>>
>>32558005
That too. The excessive dialogue along with the cut scenes was a huge bummer for me. I actually liked a lot of the game otherwise.
>>
>>32557008
Bad

hyping battle tree
pokemon selection
story pacing
ultrabeasts , lusamine and team skull were poorly developed
boring overworld aside of Poni Island
some alolamons are rare encounters
SOS mechanics need more polish

Good

trials were good
z moves are interesting are not overpowered like megas
Poni island
Battle styles
Pokepelago
Totem pokemon
>>
Sun and Moon have a lot of good ideas but Game Freak never fully expanded on them to make any of them great. Then there is stuff like Festival Plaza and Battle Royals that are done right awful. The only thing I don't have some issue with are Ride Pokémon except that the music is annoying, but still I'll take a Tauros over a bike any day. Pokemon and character design is also really great overall, but it always is so that's not saying much.

Really though the thing that gets me the most are all the features they removed. Removal of big stuff like NationalDex and Triples as well Rotation battles to even small stuff like actual names for the protagonists and unique encounter themes for every Trainer Class really upsets me. Top this all off with performance issues and it's the most disappointed I've been with any Pokemon game.

The thing is I think they could really fix a lot of Sun and Moons issues with a third version. Not on 3DS but hopefully on Switch. Even stuff like the story which I liked could be improved. Particularly adding more with the Ultra Beasts, they aren't even a problem when the come out of Ultra Space. Seriously why does no one seem to care that a bunch of crazy looking monsters came out of wormholes in the sky!?
>>

The trials were just okay, it just felt like gym battles with a different gimmick really. And Poni felt kind of barren.

No shit Sherlock, this entire thread is about opinions.

>>32558095

And people still defend them and actually even praise them for this.

Pokemon is the only franchise where I see that features, and well loved ones at that, get removed and people cheer for it. It's crazy.

>>
>>32557008
I can't even think of what went right anymore. I guess the ability buffs to some Pokemon were pretty good. Gale Wings being nerfed into the ground was okay.

Everything else I just don't care about or dislike. Z-moves are a weird decision after megas and Gamefreak's reasoning for it is downright retarded. Totems are nothing more than reskinned gym battles and are only difficult if you're playing completely blind (even then it's obvious what type you'll be fighting against). The difficulty of the game is barely a step up from XYORAS - most trainers have 1-2 Pokemon, the captains are optional battles for the most part, and the kahunas have 3 Pokemon only. A lot of Pokemon are missing moves or have retarded movesets that make them much easier (Lusamine's Bewear cannot hit ghosts, for example). The festival plaza isn't really fun or interesting and can get tedious, hyper training is downright retarded because of how difficult it is to grind your Pokemon to 100, and Alolan forms are swings and misses.

In addition, the region is barren as fuck, more linear than fucking gen 5 (holy fuck what an achievement), and filled with fade-to-black cutscenes that really shouldn't even be there. The introduction of the game takes forever (why? Even XY wasn't that bad) and is filled with tutorials that even a child would find insulting.

The story is pretty mediocre. It does nothing new even to the franchise itself and completely drops the ball with the Ultra Beasts. In fact the only reason you know the ultra beasts appeared in areas other than the first island is because you're told so. No somewhat destroyed areas or any indication they appeared. Compare this to RSE where the box legends being awake changes gameplay somewhat and causes the weather to slowly expand.

Lillie is babby's first waifu. I still can't believe the game tells me "dude, it's okay if you're not a trainer" when the only fucking way to get shit done in every game is to be a trainer.
>>

Clearly rushed
Still not as much content as it could have
You bring back exp balancing only to Fuck everybody over with the bottle caps that only work Level 100 without a reliable way of getting to Level 100

The overall quality of the Island's and how they were set up
Majority of new Pokémon designs are great
Alolan forms are a nice idea to reuse past Pokemon while also being fresh
Totem Pokémon battles are fanfuckingtastic

>>32557008
Zygarde did not live up to the hype, though this isn't the only complaint, but seriously finding 100 cells and then not get to keep the perfect form was fucking stupid.

Too few alola forms desu, at the very least a few more Kanto mons should had gotten alola forms

Half or more of the alola dex is fucking slow

All the starters being slow too was surprising, and a positive way either

"It all comes together" dat marketing hype, didn't really seem or feel like that happened in-game at all

Cutscenes occur way too often desu, every damn time you visit a new town you always end up with a long cutscene or handholding shit happening before you can continue...

Although, despite these complaints I do find Gen 7 so far to be at the very least decent

Pretty region and game overall.
Interesting and fun new mons.
Alola forms.
PokéRide.
Totem battles.
Exp yield.
PokePelago.

Customisation managed to be worse. than XY (loafers with shorts? Seriously?).
Literally no dungeons.
Literally a straight line which seemed to be made worse by lack of dungeons.
Boring and small Pokedex with the same old shit from the past 20 years.
Ridiculous wasteful slap-dash plot.
SOS battles.
Ugly HP bars.
Nobody likes all 3 starters.
All the new mons are stupidly slow for some reason.
All towns and cities are a fucking line. 20 years later and Kanto has more charm than most of Alola.

pretty looking region
overall great visuals and endearing art style
solid character and Pokémon designs all round
totem battles were great, some of them surprised me
I rather enjoyed the story
ev training easier than ever. SOS battles double ev's; only 7 SOS knockouts with pokérus+power item to max a stat.

>wrong

too much content rushed or cut just to get the game released during the franchise' 20th anniversary year.
while I enjoyed the story, the amount of dialogue and cutscenes was a bit too excessive
sometimes progressing through the region felt way too railroaded, with very little to actually discover for yourself
shallow post-game
no national dex?

> Too much plot/characters
> Too much handholding
> Alola forms are too similar to each other

Seems like everyone is either forgetting or ignoring / accepting the amount of gen 1 faggotry.

Both this game and x/y were way too focused on remembering the originals. It takes away from the current gen to constantly shove gen 1 down our throats.
>>
>>32557922
It's not as unfinished as XY. No game is that unfinished.
XY was basically in beta still, like the route with the power plant.

Sun Moon is finished, it's just laggy as all hell, it should've been n3ds exclusive or on switch but GF needed its jewgolds so they had to make it work on 3ds.
>>

Good:
Good story and characters for a pokemon game
great music
tougher difficulty than X and Y
Solid to amazing pokemon designs
Alolan forms were pretty refreshing and i hope it continues with other regions
Updated character customization
Alola itself is a very pretty region
No HM moves

Bad:
not a lot of puzzles/challenges outside of battling.
Little to no postgame
totem pokemon could've been better executed
TOO MUCH KANTO COCKSUCKING
only 70-80 pokemon in the entire dex when some looked like they could have evolutions/pre-evolutions

-Fuckton of unskippable cutscenes
-Alolan Forms are only for Gen 1 Pokemon
-Limited customisation
-FESTIVAL PLAZA (PSS was really good)
-A lot of unobtainable Mega Stones. I know some people might don't like Mega Evolution, but there are still some people who use it.
-Focusing on Lillie. I don't mind her as character but it feels like it's her adventure and not mine.
-No bike.

-1% encounter rates
-Incineroar

-Story was pretty okay, region is comfy too
-Mareanie and Toxapex
-Getting rid of HMs
-IV judge

The most painful thing in Sun and Moon is poorly designed Ultra Space. I wonder why it is so empty and little. It's just wasted potential. I will use a Distortion World as and example of how it should look like. Distortion World is (problably) the first attempt to use X/Y/Z axis in core games. Also, Distortion World was pretty expanded (all these platforms, floors and jumping sequences were just awesome in my opinion) and had the feeling of being in a labirynth. Just imagine this flip-flop world in 3D. In SM you just go and meet Lusamine, then fight her in claustrophobic room. I know some people just don't like DPPt at all, but it made something similar to Ultra Space much earlier and MUCH BETTER.
>>
>>32557008
Single player was pretty good, I liked a lot of the new Pokemon and they made some nice changes.

I really want them to just incorporate a Showdown style online mode though. Having to engage with tedious single player activities to enjoy multiplayer just kills it for me. I want the multiplayer not be dependant on the single player, and the mere existence of showdown proves that there's a not insignificant market for that kind of mode.

I don't really like playing on a webpage with shitty showdown graphics.

I actually haven't beaten Sun and Moon yet. My team is in their 20's. I'll try and beat it this week. Call me crazy but I think it was the customization that hurt the game for me. The Islands, 3D battles, new Pokemon, the story, ect. I'm loving all of it, it's just I feel like I'm playing a Zelda game running around so freely instead of being a sprite going up down left or right. But yeah more outfits would have been nice.

Fuck outta here cuck. Too many cutscenes is a bad thing as it kills any immersion within a game. Go back to playing Kingdom Hearts like the manchild you are.
>>
>>32575247
Too many cutscenes in itself isn't the problem, the problem was that the pacing was way off.
>>
>>32557008
Almost everything went right.

Only thing they did wrong was how they handled Ash Greninja, I like it but it could've been done better. And how they made Core a non-trainable/battle pokemon. Also they gave Pikachu so many different Z-moves, but they didn't give the legendary, the ultra beasts, or any more deserving Pokemon unique ones.
>>
>>32557922
>This whole post
Maybe avoid sharing your shit taste and opinions from now on. The mere fact you actually think Z-moves are "tacked on" says it all.

The cutscenes are A-Okay for anyone that isn't an ADD/ADHD riddled idiot.

Gonna stop there so this post doesn't get any longer

I'm sorry but water gun in the rain off of a base 140 special attack is going to seriously hurt anything that d oesnt resist it. Though I wish this game came with difficulty options so the moveset would be like

Easy - always uses soak
Normal - sometimes uses soak
Hard - water gun is now water pulse, sometimes uses soak
>>
>right
-graphics are pretty
-soundtrack is awesome
-almost all the new mons have some kind of gimmick that makes them somwhat memorable
-Z-crystals are a nice mechanic
-Terrains are now a relevant aspect of the game
-nice streamlined menus, quality of life stuff like IV checker and stat-up monitor added
-expanded character customization
-decent amount of challenge for a blind playthrough compared to the previous games
-changed the old 8 gyms formula
-removed HMs

>wrong
-way too many pointless dialogue and excessive handholding
-the story is meh and so are the characters
-the pacing is thrown off a window in the last part of the game
-not many new pokemon
-Terrain abilities are exclusive to very strong fairy types and this has affected the meta negatively
-battles are laggy because of trainer models AND they removed triples and rotation for the same reason (this is the biggest flaw IMO)
-minimal postgame, I miss battle factory
-facilities like Plaza or Pelago are more grindy and time-consuming that they need to be
-no in-game NatDex
-no more horde battles or blissey bases for easier EV maxing and levelling up (although Pelago and SOS are nice as well)

Yeah, I sure do love exploring only to be stopped by some random faggot telling me some inane garbage, letting the screen slowly fade to black, and then slowly fade back. The actual cutscenes are fine but the fade-to-black scenes are out of fucking hand.

Stuff that's not been said

> wrong

* lazy enough not to include the opposite of Sunny Day, Starry Night.
* too much Tarmac everywhere
* ridiculous road blocks, like the woman whose Pokémon was sniffing the ground
* Not unlocking areas yourself. you used to have to earn the right to use HMs outside of battle. Now you get given ride Pokémon when they decide they want you to go somewhere new.
* Music gives me a headache. Heeeyalbuysdfgbfksdfkskdaeh
* constantly being interrupted by story or with 'tell' rather than 'show'
* gym replacements were just a short series of battles with Pokémon and didn't involve any puzzles
* too much Dugtrio, who looks shit. Steel Dugtrio should have had barbed wire hair.
* everything else

You did this same shit when Oras came out, and before that on the wii u games on /v/. Really weak overall.

>>32582323

The same ones who paid you to spam daily on 4chan, neogaf, gayddit etc for 3 whole years when ORAS came out. Astroturfing got really bad here

>"disagrees with me"
>daily copypastas samefagged everyday over 3 years are "disagreement"

You can literally look up the archives for your shit, pokebarneyfag, that's why nobody else buys it anymore. Those threads are either your samefag or people who want to troll you.

Mine was super heavy, like first day was a new tampon every hour or so, but I had a nearly 60 day gap between them so I'm guessing it just had a lot to build up or something lol I need to try some other medicines because I've been through tylenol, ibuprofen, and midol and none of them seem to help too much.

You tell who paid you Pokebarneyfag: you shilled againt a 2 years old game last time.

If it was just here, you'd just be an Omega-autist like Quentyn, you posting the same pastas in other sites while not acting like a troll in them means you have an agenda to sell. Everybody who lurks this place for more than a month knows your shit already.

This, fucking this.

I expected dark type zubats.
Fighting type alakazams.

Heck, something from more generations. (But maybe they're saving that for DP remakes, something like "parallel universe form" or some shit that expands on the "alternate pokemon" theme.)

All we got was kanto and SOME alolan on early routes repeating over and over.

Im tired of trump on every route.

NO! I don't miss Hau! I'm glad that autistic fucker is out of my life!
Always with his spastic movements, jumping around like a monkey, constantly blabbering about malasada.
He didn't take pokemon seriously, he thought he would just have a wee bit o fun and I wrecked his shit.
I broke the bones of his pokemon because they were weak. I literally crushed them Rotom! I ground them to dust!
Now could you please shut the fuck up before I exorcise you?
God knows I need to free up some space on this thing to install the National Dex.

>I (24F) have a LDR boyfriend (25M) in Paris who I love with all my heart. We've known each other for three years but have been dating for most of that time, and I like to think that things are still going pretty well for both of us. He works long hours and sometimes goes to bed early. It also doesn't help that we're seven hours apart and he's usually close to calling it a night when I get off work and have time to talk. Because of this and how tired he's been for the past few weeks, my boyfriend constantly feels like he's "neglecting" me. I'm a pretty understanding person and I know he isn't as bad as he thinks he is (I've had worse things happen to me by other guys), I'm not going to be upset with someone who needs their rest. Plus, he's always there for me when I need him and he knows that I'm happy with him. But no matter what I say or how often I say it, he keeps beating himself up for no reason. I feel bad knowing that feels this way, even after I do everything I can to convince him that he isn't neglectful. What can I do to help cheer him up? Or at the very least, get him to have this thought less often?

Is this story true or did you made to make the bought account realistic, girl?

>>32557171
In XY you're going to be fine without the Exp. Share, but in SM you're way underleveled once you get to the last island. I was burning through my potion supply in there super fast.
Both games are a joke if you have it turned on.
>>
>>32585722
That's because SM's last part is balanced with the Exp Share being on the whole time but the first three islands are balanced with it being off the entire time. Regardless the fact that most trainers have one or two Pokemon 90% of the time still makes it piss easy.
>>
>>32585730
Eh, with the exp share of I would say it is alright in difficulty compared to other pokémon games. Not that any pokémon game is hard.
Vast Poni Canyon ends with a trainer with four pokémon at relatively high level, while not a single trainer in BW's Victory Road has more than three.
Hapu also has four pokémon, which is more than any gym leader has been allowed to have in gen V and VI.
The E4 is luckily also back to having 5 pokémon, instead of just four like in gen V or VI for whatever dumb reason.
