so how was the reaction when BW2 announced?

We shrugged and said we'd just play it on our 3DS anyway

>>32702943
i wasn't around on 4chan then and i also wasn't of age to post.

>>32702953
>implying anyone listens to the 18+ rule

>>32702953
/vp/ is full of underage, it hardly would've mattered.

>>32702943
It was pretty huge. Everyone was hyping up Gray, but that didn't happen. Instead we get the first ever sequels. Diapers were fully loaded at that point.

>>32702953
I was 17 when BW2 was coming out, first year I started lurking.

>>32702976
~First and only
Sorry, posting on my phone

>>32702976
So why is everyone shitting all over USM?

>>32702982
Please insert the 3DS cartridge into your switch

>>32702982
>some were expecting diaper remakes
>some wanted it on switch
>the fact that its a third version and not a sequel disapoints some
>the fact that its a third version split into two games pisses people off

Some "holy shit sequels", a lot of "it's just marketing speak for double Gray! It'll just have a bit more postgame plot! You aren't actually getting sequels!" until we got the first Corocoro scans with actual news beyond what was basically the OP image

>>32703013
It's neither a third version or sequels. It's a new adventure that takes place concurrently and shines lights on Alola from a different perspective thanks to multiverse shenanigans.

>>32703054
That is a Third Version you shit
same for platinum or yellow or emerald

>>32703077
Those are the same adventures with minor tweaks. That is a "third version". This is similar to BW2, in that it is a whole new adventure, but unlike BW2 it is not a direct sequel. It is very much its own thing.

>>32702982
>So why is everyone shitting all over USM?
Kids are butthurt because they didn't get >>MUH HD POKEYMAN SWITCH GAME
that's literally all it is.

>>32703127
They aren't the same thing. Emerald is literally a what if scenario, like USUM

Disappointment. Everyone was either wanting Ruby and Saphire remakes, or a 3DS game. The only reason people have any fondness for it at all was the waifu bait and the PWT.

>>32702982
Same reason I shat all over Black and White 2. Fusion mons are dumb and it's a split game which means you need both for the fusion mon variants. Fuck that noise.

it's 2017, you have the GTS and Wi-Fi trading you crease

>>32702976
Remember those cactus owl leaks

>>32703545
>GTS
Yeah cos I'm just going to hand over box legendaries for every single fucking thing. Fuck GTS. >Huur gibe Lugia for a lv1 Litten
Last time I used it it was 200 fucking trades before I found a person willing to swap a haunter for a haunter for pokedex without demands for either a lv 100 mon or a Legendary from another game.

>>32703571
That's because you're retarded and don't know how to game the system. I have 2 boxes of Type:Null/Silvally, 1 box of Leles, and 3 boxes of various UBs from trading various shit on GTS without giving up legendaries

>>32703326
Don't you already have both legendaries?
Damn, I have a fucking living dex, so I just look up to more alola forms from other gens because that's all the "new pokemon" we are getting.

>>32703013
And why exactly do people think it's 3rd version split into two when all we've seen was the very short trailer?

>>32703571
I did a living dex in ORAS. I usually put a magikarp on the gts and asked for a XY legendary to trade with myself. Some times I didn't even had the time to change games to trade as someone would give me the legendary I'm asking for a shitty magikarp.

I got a lot of UBs, legendaries, tapus, and everything using the gts, so learn to use it.

>>32703749
I think it's just another story on alola. An alternate alola where the events of SM never took place. So it's like a fresh start.

That or really just a "sequel" some time after. Just a new story on alola. With new main characters and probably someone from SM returns a little bit older.

I don't think it's just the same story again 1 year later and split into 2. If that is true then I'm going to skip those games.

>>32703571
You know there's a feature called "deposit", right?
I know, it's barely noticeable and very daunting of an option. I use rubber gloves to even get near it.
The good part is how you get the trade done in less than 30 minutes if your offer is reasonable.

People were pissed it wasn't for 3ds or Hoenn remakes

>>32703785
Yes but How the fuck is someone supposed to find MY Rowlets when there's 400 other dickheads spamming for hacked legendaries?

>>32703571
>200 fucking trades before I found a person willing to swap a haunter for a haunter

>Put up a Haunter and demand another haunter.
>Wait 30 seconds.
>Trade complete
You are just a fucking retard.

>>32703816
People also skip thos dickheads until they find your rowlett, unless you are another dickhead.


If you want to trade legendaries for route one shitmons just equip them with a golden or silver cap. People loves caps. They are willing to trade whatever you ask for this. I¡ve got full boxes of legendaries this way.

>>32702982
Because the Switch turns people into resolutionfags

>>32702982
One part not for switch, one part "it's a remake, not a sequel", one part "it's a remake, but they made it twice", and one part not diamond and pearl remakes. A lot of little reasons motivating a bunch of people to complain a little bit.

>>32703816
There's a feature where you can disable legendary requests in your search, right?

>>32702982
Because they spent all of their GBP on the Switch rather than a sustaining supply of tendies and are now upset that not a large amount of games are coming out on it yet.

>>32702943
Overwhelmingly positive surprisingly.

>>32703127
>Those are the same adventures with minor tweaks.
That's exactly what they mean by alternate story you idiot

>>32704065
Alternate also means the same as Fate/stay night and Prism Illya. Same setting, different stories. So I think it's a fresh start on alola with no relation to SM events.

>>32704081
>So I think it's a fresh start on alola with no relation to SM events.
So basically a retelling just like previous third versions
Stop being so naïve this is gamefreak we're talking about and they're making the game in less than a year.

>>32703816
The newest requests always appear first. There isn't that many people actually spamming that hard. Maybe 3/day on most mons. This means on the second day someone needs to look at the first 4 entries to find yours. I always redeposit daily if it doesn't happen on the first day, but barely ever actually need to.

>>32704111
>retelling
What did you not understand about NO RELATION to sm events? Not even the same story, so no retelling.

>>32704137
>What did you not understand about NO RELATION to sm events?
You do realise a retelling would have no relation to the events of the previous game right? To that game they didn't happen.
And one more time, this is Gamefreak. They aren't going to rewrite an entire game in less than a year.

>>32702943

>>32702982
>B/W2 comes out 2 years after B/W
>USM is announced only 7 months after the original S/M

ORAS being announced a few months after X/Y came out made sense because they were completely different games with a different region, pokedex etc. whereas this is literally what S/M should've been in the first place.

>>32702943
it gave me hope for the future. No more damn directors cut releases. of course i was wrong if USM is another director's cut release

>>32702982
Because Sun/Moon were shit. Black/White were at least solid games to work with and expand upon.

Speculation became expectation. People bought into fake news (which was really wishlisting) and assumed they knew exactly what was happening. When they didn't get that, they raged.

Unpleaseable fans as usual.

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are obvious cash grabs and if they release without having enough changed then it will only become more obvious.

this board was best during the release of those games. gen vi took it into decline in quality
>tfw no dream world threads

>>32708980
because they are the return of third versions i.e. the complete product. there was no reason to buy SM. it's especially shameless that it was mere months after the release of the initial versions of a new generation AND they're splitting it into two games this time.

>>32709112
i still think this way, Tao trio wasn't my favorite but it was nice and simple and then those two super over the top things show up
Same thing with USM Lunala and Solgaleo

>>32702943
We naively thought it was going to have two regions, with Hoenn as postgame. Because the 2 are colored like Ruby and Sapphire. And because people were already asking for Hoenn remakes

>>32702943
The hype was incredible. Ultimately the plot was disappointing and we didn't get cool shit like Shadow Triad=Striaton Trio, but the content in BW2 was so amazing that I think everyone was satisfied overall.

>>32702982
Imo it's because back in the DS you could see that GF had mastered many things by BW and was perfecting the rest of the formula with the final B2W2, and was ready to move in to a 3d world.

But now on the 3ds they don't seem to be able to get the formula to work in 3d, they look like amateurs struggling to decide what is best in 3d. We've had shitty game after shitty game all with different approaches that fail in they own different ways, and GF doesn't learn or try to fix the mistakes.

I've lost hope, I think that USUM is going to be just that, not an improved third game but a totally different game with a new formula made by people still trying to find what the formula should be with new flaws and zero improvements.

>>32711390
>Ultimately the plot was disappointing and we didn't get cool shit like Shadow Triad=Striaton Trio

Why would something like that have happened? It was in no way implied/hinted in the first games and only a few people grasping at straws hyped such a thing.

>>32711676
>>32711390
wasnt it canon in the manga

>>32711676
> It was in no way implied/hinted in the first games
They don't show up with all the gym leaders at the end to help you out, and their hair in the concept artwork looks identical to the trio.

>yellow is the third version

>>32711882
Yes but there was no reason to assume that when the brothers themselves never gave any indication, nor did the Shadow triad.

Did you people actually play the games or...?

>>32703326
get some friends, loser.

>>32711964
>They don't show up with all the gym leaders at the end to help you out
This is the big part.
Every other Gym Leader is there but no explanation is given for why none of the brothers show up. It made people curious about/suspicious of them.

>>32712005
But why would you assume them the shadow triad?
Like only a minority did because it was baseless.
People trying to make this a thing probably weren't active during that time.

It was always obvious they weren't the shadow triad.

>>32711964
>Did you people actually play the games or...?
Did you? You seemed to really be glossing over the fact that they never showed up to help, and hey, what a coincidence, the Shadow Triad is there too.

We didn't get an explanation until BW2's memory links, so don't try to give me any shit about BW1 explaining it.

>>32703326
Then just send over the one you get from the first game. If you got Sun then get Ultra Moon and send in your solgaleo/cosmog through the bank. It's not complicated.

>>32702943
Lots of mixed feelings. People claiming it's Digimon and other's hype levels were beyond max. Those were good days when people could be hyped for a game and sit on edge for the fake and real leaks rather than just complain

>>32711676
Didn't they reveal that the Shadow Triad beat the Striaton Trio and that's why they didn't show up/retired from being gym leaders?

>>32712069
Yeah, that was in BW2.

>>32709154
Not him, but Gold and Silver were originally called Red and Blue 2. They were sequels.

>>32702943
/vp/ lost their fucking shit when it was annonced as a sequel 2 years after the first game. The idea of a sequel was thought to be a long forgotton concept as we hadn't seen it since Gold and Silver. Right off the bat we were shown the new world map, the new Kyurem formes, and a trailer showcasing numerous additions. Keep in mind this was before the hype train went into overdrive when the world tournament was announced.

>>32702982
Aside from the obvious cash grab of announcing this 7 months after SUMO, nothing was shown to be different aside from the obvious Kyurem fusion rehash. It's like they wanted to replicate BW2 without realizing the 2 was the very thing that made a split third game work. Could you imagine the shitstorm if we got pokemon Gray split into 2 games?

>>32712362
no, they were originally called "Pokémon 2"

>>32712435
Hardly a fucking difference. Don't be anal.

>>32702982
Because it's not even a sequel but the same game we played 7 months.

When BW2 came out the same shitstorm as USUM did it, have appeared.

>>32702982
Because they literally released SM a few months ago, meaning that these "remakes" will be disappointing and lackluster. Also, considering the fact that Prism Solgaleo and Lunala are the ugliest and least original box legendaries in Pokémon history, USM will probably be another rushed mess attempting to gain some money.

>>32703387
I agree with the other poster, but not because I don't have friends to trade with. I miss having a story with both legendaries in the same game. It's not the same to see only Kyogre/Groudon in the game, or Dialga/Palkia, when you can actually see them both in action. The story seems more complete that way.

>>32711665
We're screwed if they decide to jump to the Switch after all.

>>32702943
There was a shit storm everywhere, especially here. Then we got some info and people started to calm down and actually have some discussion, with some people still bitching here and there anyway.

>>32703816
You do realize the reason it looks like everyone is making stupid requests is because the reasonable requests are met nearly instantly, leaving behind only the ridiculous ones most people won't accept, right?

Excitement
And I really enjoyed it
