Does the game ever cut you loose...

BW2 literally did nothing wrong.

Stop sucking goyfreak dick.

kill yourself

We don't need two fucking threads for this

B/W poisoned the well and B2/W2 floated around in it. I don't think Pokemon will ever return to greatness without flushing the entire team down the drain and starting over from the basics. Failure to do so will result is the poison killing everything forever.

stop shitposting you dumb faggot

Kukui is not a nigger, he is a tan bottom slut.

You haven't even explained why. BW IS the starting from basics. They essentially remade Gen 1 with proper balance, but didn't throw away the previous gens.

Fuck off.

he has a nigger wife with graying hair

So? He literally has kuk in his name

...

yes, and kek is also spelled as kuk. doesn't mean pepe is a left wing meme.
besides. cuck is pronounced cack

How's the postgame? Do you still get dragged by the wrist even to fight the ultra beasts?

Where do you guys get off on saying the best game was bad?

How about you try posting in the Pokemon thread instead of making a new thread, you faggot OP?

...

Why did you even reply?

Why did you?

Do you think your shit posts have more value then his?

:^)

But his shitpost may avoid more shitposts happening in the future.

wouldsmash/10

...

God damn Brittany get your shit together that's a manicure not a pedicure, the root "ped" means FOOT. Pedestal, pedicure, podium, pedometer, all related to feet.

That chick looks old from her hands.

Was expecting Kukui porn. Fuck you.

Ever hear of the thousand cock stare ?
Same principal.

S-sorry…

Sure, after you beat the game.

Not really.
Pokemon's never been particularly open, but Sun and Moon are in a league of it's own. From X/Y down, you can consider all those games open and flexible RPGs compared to S/M.

It's streamlined Pokemon, if you can imagine that.

Holy shit, nintendrones are literally addicted to being cucked aren't they?

I just got the Pokedex that tells me what to do from the NPCs that told me what to do and when I tried to walk left it made Tauros very angry.

Just wait until you get the the second island and it becomes "sorry, I need to take up this entire road because my riding dog likes to look really really hard for hidden stuff!"

dont you mean "buying"? you can still download the games for free

I hate handholding in games but I really want to play this.
shit.

so i was just a foot fetichist all along, thank goodness!

...

Who's idea was to use both latin and greek on etimology.

The same person who thought "pedologist" is a good name for someone who studies soil.

Nope and it only gets more retarded the more you go on

Were they high wen they wrote this?

Were they high wen they wrote this?
maybe they were having fun

But it feels out of place, low effort and really really stupid
That's not fun

yeah, the entire series after ruby/sapphire/emerald.

I'm about to do this. How bad is it?

Not bad.

It lasts like 3 minutes but it's just really dumb
It's like walking into the special ed class and then leaving

you're just left wondering what the fuck that was

They cut the dialogue options down to 3 instead of 4.

Eh… I tought it was pretty funny.
It builds up like it's gonna be a challenging thing, the first question was legit entry level to teach what was going on and had me concentrate real hard to notice would would happen next but it just got comically easier and silly.

That, and the fact the instructor's mood took everything so seriously. The presentation was perfect and the execution of the joke was on point.

You're too autistic to pick up on social cues.

I like how you're supposed to just accept that david is part of the trial.

At least I'm autistic enough to have written pokemon sun and moon

I'm not*
fug

Flawless.

What?
I didn't call you autistic
Unless you wrote this pokemon

Friendly reminder to everyone playing S&M
Be sure to get the internet gift Munchlax which has two exclusive moves and comes with a Z crystal
Also play through the Demo to transfer over Ash-Greninja

i can just get them with a hex editor
who cares

Not only that but both are kinda useless.

B2W2 was great faggot

Eh, the snorlax is kina nice early game for it's payday clone

The pokemon itself is fine but the Z move it worthless. Forced meme frog is worthless.

The real question is, is there even a National Pokedex

Not everyone is a hackerfag.

You're on a site full of hackerfags
just ask someone to give one to you

You're on a site where a hackerfag will say
just to piss you off.

Nah, I'm good.

There are no "social ques" through text user. I'm sorry.

Here's a simple excercise for you. IF I TYPE THIS MESSAGE IN ALL CAPS AND PUT IN A LOT OF GOD DAMNED SWEAR WORDS, WHAT THE HELL KIND OF FUCKING VOICE AND/OR MOOD DO YOU THINK I'M TRYING TO CONVEY? WHAT IF I INSULT YOU, YOU NUMBSKULL? CAN YOU INFER WHAT KIND OF SOCIAL INTERACTION I'M CONVEYING HERE?

Come on, you can do this. I know you can.

Are you being ironic?

I used the first generic insult that came to my head. Was it not edgy enough for your tastes? Should I have used "moron" instead? Maybe I was too harsh. You're right, I should've called him a silly potato instead.

I still don't know why the fuck you're so mad about this
There were no social queues to understand in the game

t. Autismo

Then you failed to understand the exercise?
Allow me to explain it for you. I implied before the exercise began that the content within the exercise is not reflective of my current mood. I backed up this implication within the exercise by explaining exactly what I was going to do and maintaining full self awareness of my actions. With that established, I developed a scenario using several common articles of speech indicative of a certain behavior to see if you could identify the mood I was setting up. The correct mood was anger. You understood that. Thus, social ques CAN be conveyed through text.
However, you failed to understand that the exercise itself was not reflective of my mood. This was established once more at the end after a period, line break, and a switch from capital letters to lowercase letters as well as a complete shift in mood and sentence type (a question.) I even tried to help you understand the last line wasn't part of the exercise by giving words of encouragement stating that I believed in you. I see now my faith was misplaced. You failed the exercise.

I think you should check IDs, I'm not the guy you were talking about in that message.
I'm asking why you're so mad about me "not understanding" the social queues in the game.
My point is that there are no social queues to understand.

Unless your point is that the volcano trial is some kind of post-ironic jab to humor. To which I would tell you you're fucking retarded.

Also be careful on that high horse, you might make an ass out of yourself when you fall down for sperging out about someone disliking a trial.

I did check the ID's. You misunderstood that I was angry. So you failed to understand I wasn't angry. Also, you could understand the blue haired girl is written as a rash character by her blunt speech and erratic behavior. The guy for the third trial is written as calm, focused, and serious. You can tell this by his posture, speech, and even the fucking music. That's why the third trial was funny… if you were paying attention. These aren't deep characters. They wear their traits at surface level.

Wow user I think you might be autistic.
Who the fuck reads this much into "characters" of a kids game? I mean shit each of them have like 4 lines of dialogue.

Holy shit dude

I've been writing books for the past 12 years.

is this one of your books?

Oh fuck no.

I was being sarcastic
You having trouble with social queues?

sadly thats in the postgame op, also fuck rotom such a unnecessary waste of space with its dialogue

Aren't that many good waifumons this gen, I'm pretty disappointed.

It was painstakingly obvious. I played along for shits and giggles.

We've already been over this user.

I spoiled myself as little as possible so I still didn't know this was a pokemon from this gen. Now I know. Although if it was actually from last gen I wouldn't know because I skipped remembering last gen's pokemon.

...

Bro ninetales is from gen 1.

How could you forget?

Is that an Alolan Ninetails then? How the fuck would I recognize that. If anything, I thought it looked more like shinfoo or whatever that white furry fuck was with long sleeves. Don't remember the name.

I named her Marissa for memes.

Ninetales is easily the best looking alola form and probably the most likely to see any competitive use in doubles.

You're thinking of mienshao and they look nothing alike.

My next guess was Mienfoo. I grabbed Mein and Shoo and switched them around in my head. Twice. I aborted last gen really fast so it's not a surprise. The drawing looked like it could've been from any deviantart OC making money from Patreon so I didn't think it was an actual Pokemon. If you showed me an image this morning of a green school bus and asked me if it was from the game or not, I would've said no. I would've been wrong. Unfortunately I already found out Nintendo photoshopped an image of a toucan in the game so that didn't surprise me when I saw it.

You fucking paedo better check your etymology next time.

We're talking waifumons user, not competitive mons. Alola Ninetails is still a lazy edit of vanilla Ninetails.

Mienfoo was introduced in Gen V

I aborted that one too. That was the one where all the pokemon were furniture, right? At one point I encouraged myself to poke-chain for a shiny Zoroark. I eventually succeeded but the shiny Zoroark in the game looked like ass and the IV's were god awful so I threw it in the trashcan.

Speaking of throwing pokemon in the trashcan, it took me 43 Popplios to get a female Popplio. It took me 5 hours. I was originally going to go for Rowlett or Litten but I didn't want an edgy Ezio and fire/fighting has been played into the abyss. My only option was to choose the mermaid which looked so feminine it would have triggered my OCD on a grand-autismo scale through the heavens and back if the Popplio were male.

I don't even want to fuck it.

The lazy edits are meowth, grimer/muk and diglett.

If you mean rotom it's supposed to be an electric poltergeist.
So you're just stupid then?

Litten evolves into a Fire/Dark mon, user.
And I don't blame you for not wanting to fuck a sea lion.

Well I'll be damned
It's still an equally lazy edit

Considering the design and gender ratio, I think that pokemon is supposed to be some kind of crossdressing faggotmon. Your female is a double reverse trap.

Oh shit, right. Fire/Dark. I remember correcting myself several days ago. It slipped my mind since then. But how can someone not mistake that thing for being fighting? It's a muscular wrestling bobcat. I'm going to think it's fighting. And if it's not easily mistakable, then I bring Emboar to the table.

Back to you. Rotom was Gen IV, right? I played the shit out of Sinnoh. The music was a lazy snorefest compared to gen III in my opinion. But that's just me. The furniture generation I'm talking about is the one with Chandelure and Trubbish.

How fucked am I?

The entire point of the design is that it's a heel.
Do you not know what a bobcat is?
Explain to me why possessed objects is unacceptable for ghost types when plenty of pokemon based on inanimate objects exist and why a garbage bag pokemon is bad but a pile of shit with barely any features is good.

I vaguely remember.

I never said this. I actually never said this. I didn't say any of the pokemon designs were good or bad. All I did was identify which generation I was talking about and give my nickname for that generation based on how I remember it.
What the fuck user?

I googled for a bobcat and this is what I found. See that on the sides of its face? It's the animal's fluffy cheeks. The Incineroar has fluffy cheeks. It's a bobcat.

Bobcats have spots and no tail. Incineroar has stripes and a long tail. It's not a bobcat and you're retarded.

Someone who wanted to say fuck you to the other guy

Holy shit. It's almost like… stay with me now… it's almost like pokemon aren't 100% accurate representations of real life animals! Who knew people could use their imagination and toss together ideas from different animals!

Linx also have that
it's a tiger

It's almost like it's not actually a bobcat and is actually very explicitly a tiger.

Why not all of the above?

Oh yeah, I forgot about Lynx. I've rarely seen images of them. I think it could be written off as several of them. I just looked up tigers on Google and now I've entered a berenstein universe where tigers didn't used to have fluffy cheeks. This is odd because I have a giant image of a tiger on my bedroom wall at home.

user, I have bad news for you

...

Is there any downside in changing clock? I've gotten Moon and just realized that I spend most of my gaming time at night after work.

I've only gotten as far as after the first trial though.

Should I change my clock or just reset from the start?

Hey, I'd just like to point out that the worlds of Gens I-II and III-V, by virtue of being set in a universe where Megas never happened, were most likely destroyed by the UBs, and Anabel and Looker are among the only known survivors. Anything you may have worked for prior to Gen VI has been rendered moot thanks to the UBs.

That's something an autist would say.

This is worse then normal for this line of game, wiseass.

...

i think that nigga just wants to look at her cunt

If you're gonna be a faggot nigger-lover, at least get some better taste.

Kinda? You can fuck off and do whatever at that point, including never catching the Ultra Beasts. But given that the UBs are basically the only story in the postgame (that I've found anyhow), I don't know why you would ignore them. Honestly, the entire game should have been you playing in Looker's unit tracking Wormholes the whole game and then ending in Alola. That could have broken the Pokemon mold more than "see, no gyms, haha :^)".

Where is it stated that those worlds are destroyed and how do we think Looker is a Faller? Or do you think we have two Lookers now?

Why???

how do i make goomy and castform spawn in the jungle area? the pastebin implies that other monsters call them during weather, but does it have to be natural weather or does sunny day/rain dance work?

I appreciate the higher difficulty of the games, (Totems/Kahunas often pushed me to my last Pokemon, T.Salazzle, Guzma 1 and Red/Blue wiped me),but fuck me, the first few HOURS of the game have too many goddamn cutscenes and are too hand-holdy. I'd ask why the Guide and Teachy TV from FRLG haven't come back, but GameFreak apparently can't use good ideas for more than one game at a time.

it just took me 555m inutes to get to my first pokemon battle

*55 minutes, fuck I'm tired.

Faggots ruined a breddy neat Pokémon.
And the demo is a waste of storage - fuck all to do in that peace of shit
I'm gonna play S&M anyway.

It doesn't get better so you might as well buckle up to be annoyed.
I stopped reading the dialogie halfway through the second island

I spent all night grinding my pokemon so I could participate in this "pokemon ceremony" and I was already disappointed when I realized that my rival only used 2 pokemon that I easily beat and no sense of challenge. I'll see how long I can take it before my curse of never being able to win a pokemon game comes in.

Why the fuck are female slutlizards so hard to find?

because theyre the ones that evolve

...

You can. It's called Charizard.

You're retarded.

tbh flying around on your on gen 6 was fun

The gender ratio system is so fucking retarded I can't even. We're gonna find a way to breed them anyway, might as well get rid of this kind of "females are harder to find" shit when its unnecessary along with incenses.

The rivals just get worse and worse with every passing game.

Hey, if I get this, is it worth playing as a dude? It's petty, but I was really annoyed in X by how shit the male clothing options were. My character always dressed like a fucking tool.

It's never ever not ever worth it to play a dude. Not in any game that gives you the choice.

For like 45 seconds until you saw literally everything there was to see and it became a chore with more unskippable cutscenes to watch every time you used it.

I didn't mind the dude in Platinum.

I'm gonna rip my dick off I fucking swear
Are these supposed methods I'm following actually accurate or is it a bunch of "he said she said" nonsense that nobody has really 100% proven?
Either way, I can feel myself vibrating into another, more autistic, plane of existence

update
I have given up, and think I'll stare at a wall for a few hours. It will be just as productive as what I just did.

it completely makes your uh like multiplayer plaza thing unusuable for like 48 hours everytime you change the clock.

Why the fuck does he say OH YEAH a lot

...

Easier then the Wishiwashi trial fuck me that Amamolia

Prepare your anus for the Lurantis trial, though, ACTUAL STRATEGY

They had their share of problems but those gamecube titles felt PHRESH, dawg.

wait till you get to the champion

Sun and moon breaks the mold plenty, actually.

Gyms are replaced with trials, and Trial Captains are optional battles, while Totems are bosses that pit you against a flood of enemies while you hold only one mon.

You can still fight the trial captains afterwards if you like, and it's a straight up gym battle type fight, and the Kahunas are also gym leader type fights, only fought in the streets rather then a gym. It's more like a traditional RPG with it's own story then a pokemon game, honest.

Lies

Only some of them, although I think you eventually fight (almost) all of them in another, completely random, slightly spoilery way.

Anons that are playing S/M, what's your opinion on Team Skull? Positives and negatives, let's list them.

IT'S YA BOI GUZMA

Probably the best criminal team so far, they aren't retards out for world domination getting their shit pushed in by a single 11-year-old kid, they're just rejects and delinquents getting by by being assholes to other people.

I would still say team rocket is better.

get a male sylveon with cute charm

use that fag to attract thirsty lizards

Team Skull is my favorite evil team of the Pokemon franchise. So many hilarious moments.

>You have to say "No" during the quiz to complete it

They're fucking hilarious and I love how they're not really trying to take over the world, they're just a gang of thugs. The only one who really had a clue as to what was going on was Guzma, who didn't even know the scale of what he was doing. They're like an even more reckless Team Flare, but they're actually enjoyable to experience.

Also, THAT FUCKING MUSIC. I need to gush about this. The Skull Encounter music is good, the Guzma encounter music is good, but the Guzma battle theme is literally perfect. Not only is it great battle music because of how high-octane and badass it is, it has a bunch of neat little touches. For example, the fact that the Skull Encounter, Battle, and Admin music only has voice lines that don't overlap in the background, the Guzma battle theme has multiple that overlap during the song, implying that instead of just one guy, he's got his pack of Skull thugs behind him cheering him on, hyping him up, backing him up so that he doesn't lose. Adding on the fact that the song foreshadows future events by playing a distorted version of the music in the Aether Foundation makes this shit absolutely perfect in my eyes.

yeah just evolve a male eevee into a sylveon and have em lead your party. I caught a female salandit for myself and a friend in like 10 minutes.

They're breddy good. Between the wiggery, bad puns, awful rhyming, and non-stop fucking crumping they do when just standing around, they continue to be entertaining.

You might like Masafumi Takada's stuff.

best team

I think I'm not even gonna bother finishing the game. There is just way too much handholding, the region feels pathetically small and the cutscenes/dialogue sequences feel like they are MGS tier length. If it wasn't for the totem fights/sos fights, some pretty nice new pokemon and the fact HMs are kill, I would have dropped it earlier.

What's the post game like for those that beat it? Is there enough to warrant me pushing through? or is it fuck all again like gen 6?

I hope pokemon prism turns out, I need my pokemon fix and S/M is not working for me

It's not literally the barest minimum like Gen 6's, but it's barely any better.

Poor guy

welp, at least I wasn't stupid enough to buy it this time.

Not really. Prepare to have your hand held until post-game.

Lurantis trial is easy as long as you KO that castform ASAP. Trumbeak isn't as big of a deal.

I beat it pretty easily since I had a slowpoke with yawn and it couldn't be confused by Trumpbeak due to its ability. Lurantis was asleep for 2 full turns which allowed me to defeat it with my fire type. Not too bad.

They're just so fucking stupid that you have to love them.

...

Well, I would love to play as Iris if we could.

Probably the most entertaining part of the game. I would say they are second only to team rocket

...

This is probably the same user who hated ORAS's music. XY's was bland, but ORAS had a good bombastic tune but apparently this nigger couldn't appreciate that.

I personally only liked the Champion battle theme in Sun/Moon as far as I can remember. The rest were either bland or annoying.

...

...

It's a dark because it's meant to be a dirty fighter. Wrestling inspired and some yankee/delinquent style.

Moves it learns:
Darkest Lariat: The user swings both arms and hits the target. The target’s stat changes don’t affect this attack’s damage. 100% Accuracy [Dark] 85 BP, Physical.

Throat Chop: The user attacks the target’s throat, and the resultant suffering prevents the target from using moves that emit sound for two turns. 100% Accuracy [Dark] 80 BP, Physical.

TM related to it:
Brutal Swing: The user swings its body around violently to inflict damage on everything in its vicinity. 100% Accuracy [Dark] 60 BP, Physical.

Agreed.

I fucking hate Hau, he's annoying as shit, like holy fuck.

I keep finding females as a female character, not sure if it affects anything.

How about OTHER MUSIC

So are they going to have to explain how Rotom works in every single game from now on because of how batshit his mechanics are?

Pedo is "child" in greek because greece invented pedophilia.

I wanna fuck the girl player character.

...

isn't dark type in japanese something like trickster or similar?

He is not your rival
the actual rival is kukui and battles you as the pre-champion to establish you as first alola champion

They're pranksters and such in execution despite being called the "Evil" type. Maybe that's mistranslated.

Wasn't dark just 'evil' type?

If you look at a lot of 'tricksters' in myth, they are pretty fucking evil. Look at Loki, or any number of jap yokai tricksters.

Best team, best theme.

The wrestling theme works on another level too, since Dark is weak against Fighting it cn also be seen as a Jobber and as a nod to the fact that Pro-Wrestling is fake and not "real" fighting, So the Pro-Wrestling Pokémon isn't Fighting-type, it just tries to present itself as it.

Lillie should have been your rival, this is the worst thing they've done since X/Y tried to pass off FOUR FUCKING CHARACTERS as your rival (one of whom was a trash generic opposite-gender-MC).

Jesus, it just gets worse and worse.

...

Is there any way to get this fucker before postgame without trading?

I don't think you need to beat the Elite Four to access that part of Poni Island, just explore around Hapu's house and you'll find the path.

...

Fuck happiness evolutions.

What if people are literally pokémon?
People are said to have evolved(literal evolution, not pokemon evolution) from pokemon but I think the "people" in pokemon are literally pokemon with evolutions, formes and shit.
The trainers archetypes are all different pokémon with their regional forms, like there's a bunch of identical hikers, beauties and nurses in every region.
Players and unique NPCs are like legendaries.
Every different type of "human" starts out as a preschooler or something then evolves into an adult trainer that has it's own unique abilities, like swimmers are the only ones that can swim whitout help from other pokemon, hikers can probably climb those pesky ledges etc. The player's ability is being able to switch pokémon before other trainers send their next one(Switch/Set option), this is nullified when two players battle each other.

No, it won't let me. Poni Meadow is in the eastern part of the island, and it's blocked until I become a champion. I haven't found any purple nectar either, so it's probably only found in that area.

It's a bummer, I really liked the style.

Is it just me or are there a shitload of pokemon noises in the background during cutscenes? I just started the game and it's driving me crazy.

That's a feature from XY, though at a lower rate back there, Cries of the pokémon that are in the grass of the area will play occasionally, i think it is just up to eleven in Gen7, i think it is just that that feature doesn't care if you are in a cutscene or not.

I backed up my save and I'm reinstalling the game via freeShop. I dunno if I got my shit banned or not, though, shit's pretty cryptic. Not like it matters, there's zero games I play online and very few I have to play offline. I'm still a little paranoid about it, though, despite having no reason to be.

...

Buying a 3DS today, maybe. This thread saved me from spending money I don't have on a Pokemon game.

Do I try and use the exploit on the New 3DS, or should I just buy a Gateway flash card?

Kill yourself.

More handholdy than white2 which im currently playing?
gen1 may have had shit balance but at least you could move around on your own, holy shit this is gay

No it's not, it's called a weeaboo grindan sim.

Avoid 3DS Pokemon games at all cost.

No, it evolved to rape psychic pokemon. It looks like a fighting type to lull psychic types into a false sense of security.

SPOILERS
I'm just upset that Lillie never tells you that she loves you at the end of the game
she and the mc never even kiss
then it's revealed that she's a selfish bitch no different than her mom at the end when she leaves you without telling
then that faggot Hau tries to cuck you
and he'll probably get the girl in the end, too…

That one part of the ending seriously ruined the whole game for me. I know I sound like I'm waifu fagging here but come the fuck on, Lillie's relationship with the mc was so played up throughout the entire story, then the ending just shits on what was supposed to be a blossoming romantic relationship.

Regardless, I liked the Alola region and the new Pokemon, even though there were very few of them. I absolutely loved the change of formula with the trials, captains, kahunas, etc. I hope they ditch the whole "8 gyms" model in future games and experiment more. Totem battles actually required you to think a bit (especially the jungle trial, I actually lost and had to retry, the first time that's happened in over a decade), which was nice, although the game is still much too easy and they need a "hard mode" or something desperately. I think z moves are stupid but whatever, I highly doubt they'll be used in competitive except as a sort of "gotcha" surprise move, where you're not expecting your opponent to be able to KO you but then it turns out they're holding a z crystal

and despite Lillie ruining everything at the end I really enjoyed the characters and story this time around, even Lillie until right at the end. Kukui was a bro, Hau was a faggot but not the worst thing they've ever done, Gladion was an edgelord anti-hero but for being that, he was an alright character. I genuinely liked the captains and kahunas, some of them were pretty funny, like Acerola (now best girl after Lillie broke my heart), Nanu, whatever the fire trial guy's name was, the Wishiwashi trial girl was funny too… and Team Skull was great. They weren't too serious most of the time, but they were funny, and I liked Guzma. I kind of liked how they were just Alola's rejects honestly. They had no ideals or plans to take over the world, they were just gutter trash.

Kukui being the "champion" (although not really but whatever) was expected but still, it was an enjoyable battle. I liked the happy feel good ending but then LILLIE FUCKING RUINED EVERYTHING. That seriously left a very bitter aftertaste for what was otherwise a really enjoyable game story wise, especially considering that it's Pokemon and X and Y's story nearly gave me cancer. And I do admit openly to liking more story heavy games. I've just always loved a good story, and call me a faggot if you want but having a more human side to a video game that goes along well with the actual game play gives me a lot of incentive to press onward. Hell, I only got through Persona 3 because I liked the story and characters. But yeah, I liked the fact that Sun and Moon were VERY story heavy for a Pokemon game, and I hope they continue down this road in future games. But I think they could have done more with the story and characters. Maybe I just set my expectations too high, given that the game can't be too complicated because it's still supposed to appeal to kids, but whatever.

And Jesus fucking Christ they need difficulty settings and other limitations (like limited amounts of healing items you can carry, make it so over leveled Pokemon are more difficult to control, etc). I don't know why it's so hard for them to make a mode where enemies have more Pokemon, higher levels, better move sets and better AIs…

Nothing happens at the end because of the possibility that the player's character is female.

They should add an "advanced" mode where everyone has battle tower level AI and full teams (on theme), but maybe also add level scaling to the rival and gym leaders?

That's probably because you abused pokemon refresh, left the exp share on at all times and never changed battle mode from shift to set. Do this and suddenly the game is actually hard wow.
They're fucking 11 year olds who haven't even hit puberty you fucking pedophile.

...

Crippling yourself would be doing that autistic nuzlocke bullshit. All I'm suggesting is changing a setting that's been in the options menu since gen 1, turning off an item that increases total exp gained by 250% and not using a feature that grants a wide range of buffs that opponents can never get. Try to beat the game under these conditions without spamming items or spending 10 hours grinding and see how well you do.

Fucking drones get out of my board.

You sound like you're from halfchan. You should probably go back there.

Nigger, that's the very definition of crippling yourself.

Playing with 100% exp rates, not giving yourself free switches and not going for free evasion/crit chance/focus band is not crippling yourself. You're playing with the same conditions as the AI. An actual example of crippling yourself would be releasing your pokemon when they faint and only catching the first shitmon you see per route because you have some sort of brain defect.

I'm outside of the Elite Four
My team is
Kenny (Decidueye) Level 51
The Wall (Toxapex) Level 50
Sonichu (Todegemaru) Level 47
John Madden (Passimian) Level 47
A Friend (Ribombee) Level 46
Walnut (Minior) Level 46

I'm not using EXP share, Refresh, Z-Moves or Items in battle (Barring held items) and Battle is on Set rather than Shift.

How fucked am I?

Level 46 is going to be worthless. Get everything to 50 and you should be able to pull it off if you play smart and know what your opponents pokemon are capable of.

I got through Hala, Olivia and Khali and then Acerola's Pallosand completely rolled me.

I guess it's time to grind my team to 50 ;_;

its pretty funny

Anyone else scared of the Gen 4 remakes that we all know are coming? I LOVED the fuck out of Platinum, it was an immense improvement over D/P. I'm scared they're going to pull on OR/AS and not include any of the stuff Platinum had.

I found out that Carvanha can get psychic fangs as an egg move in gen 7.
Do you think we'll see anyone running a sharpedo with Psychic fangs in the Gen 7 meta?

Psychic is not a very good attacking type and there are better ways to remove screens. Even if sharpedo were to be a thing, it probably wouldn't bother running it.

Psychic Fangs on Mega-Shark would be somewhat viable, especially considering that it can act as coverage for Sharpedo's Fighting type weakness.
It could act as both deterrent for Fighting types trying to switch in on Sharpedo and as a hard counter to Screens/Aurora Veil Aurora Veil is an Ice type move that sets up both screens but can only be used during Hail

I have mixed feelings about EXP share.

It removes any need to grind which was never fun at all in the first place but 100% shared exp seems a bit excessive.

It seems like the game was designed around having it on at all times. So playing without it and without grinding would mean rationing out encounters with trainers in a fashion you weren't meant to.

Fucking why. Why the fuck would you even bother making her a big monster that if you weren't going to let the player fight it.
Fuck off Nintendo/Gamefreak, seriously.

They did the same thing in X/Y. The villain gets a James Bond style doom laser and tentacle armor so he can…have a pokemon battle with a ten year old.

all starters have a high-male gender ratio to make them harder to breed and therefore more rare

Hey again, guys, it's the guy who have out a box of Adamant Dhelmise on WOnder Trade. I have another box of Pokemon ready, so at the top of the hour (~15 minutes from this post) I'm going to be sending out a Box full of Modest Drampa with the Egg Move Hurricane. If you guys are interested, be sure to hop on for your chance to get one!

When I was 11, I was already able to feel attraction toward girls. Got my first romantic experience around that age.

you know puberty usually starts at around that time, right? Like, give or take a few years. Besides, the show, also featuring 10 and 11 year olds, has that kind of thing

Could happen.
Even Japan hated the lack of Battle Frontier IIRC they also hated Zinna, but the current director loves the new casual audience.

Worse case I imagine you'll get some form of post-game that takes you into the Altered World where you catch Giratina. Maybe fight Cyrus again.

Platinum was the superior plot, but unless you pull liberties (i.e. the plot of Diamond happens until Dialga appears, then Dialga brings out Giratina), I can't see how they'll meld Platinum's main plot with Diamond/Pearl.

Shame during the anime (so far) all they do is a tropical remix of Skull's various themes.

You're a fucking homo

So I'm a girl.

But I am worried about how shit they're going to make DP remakes, emphasis on DP.

I'm just waiting for Gen V remakes just to finally get the fucking Original Dragon. Hopefully it'll just be split into complete Kyurems with either Reshiram or Zekrom having more power influence for mascots, then post game you finally can catch the other dragon and Kyurem and see its original form.

That was different Lysandre just showed up wearing that shit for no reason. The Lusamine fight really should have been against her in a similar fashion to totem pokemon where she sends out her team as her SOS call. My only guess for why they didn't do that is that people might get upset you couldn't use the Lusamine/Nihelego on your own team or something.

GAAAAAAAAAAY

yes

pokemon was never this text-heavy and this cutscene-heavy. I hope the franchise dies, now that they have gone full retard. I played the game for 16hours so far and I hate this game. It broke with all the traditions, the characters are super ugu kawaii desu ne, there is no gyms anymore and the new pokemons are mostly shit.

Or you can just stop buying it from now, and let people who like it playing it for years if they want to.

Why does this game do its hardest to make itself suck? All I fucking want to do is play this goddamn game but every time I go around a corner some snackbar coon is there to talk to me. Why did they do this? There's no fucking reason for this game to be as padded by text but this game just somehow fucks it up. The game is good too just ruined by non stop talking.

Jesus I wouldn't touch the game on the game on those alone. It probably would still be shit that I wouldn't buy, but damn that lucas looks like shit.

I randomly get an error message during or after battles that forces me to take my 3DS off, reinsert the SD card (otherwise if I turn it back on the SD card won't be read) and turn on the 3DS.

This only happens (randomly) in Pokemon Moon and I can't recreate it in any other game. So I don't know if it's the game, the 3DS or the SD card.

I tried repairing/redownloading the game but that didn't help. I kept getting the error. I can't get other games (Pokemon X, Ace Combat, SMT IV Apocalypse, etc) to recreate the same error while playing.

I can't find any info about it online either.

So is it the game, the SD Card or the 3DS?

The mom is hot though, I would tap it.

So would Kukui - and your meowth

Please tell me more about how the Japanese audiences feels about the new directors and characters.

I read another thread where Shota Kageyama stepped down as music director, and got a newer guy to do the music.

Which is why maybe
don't think the current music is as good as it should be.

Using X-Defense to try and screw trainers 10 levels higher than you is how the game is meant to be played. I even used a Dire Hit to beat Lusamine 2 and I don't think anyone else in history has ever actually used that item.

Install CFW. Pirate game.

Now that I've played the game and heard it in context, the music is actually pretty good.

I think it might be the game. Twice now I have put it into sleep mode and opened it back up to "The SD card has been removed."

I want to eat that chocolate ass

Feels like a burden lifted to hear someone having a similar problem. I'll still be wary, though.

I have an old!3DS and I don't really plan on buying a new one.

If it doesn't sound good out of context, it's not good music.

DELICIOUS BROWN

Now I am positive it is the game. I also have an old 3ds and Moon. We have the exact same setup.

It is certainly different than most Pokemon games but it isn't bad.

I like the difficulty of this one. I haven't gotten very far yet but that Ace Trainer on Route 3 who used the Red Cards with Stealth Rock and Yawn was a seriously refreshing change of pace. The game still isn't challenging to the point of being a workout but they've added a few casual filters.

Just because it's different doesn't excuse the fact Guzmas song is chaotic shit. Also, now that I've heard it, the E4 sounds like a shitty remake of G1s. Maybe he'll eventually stop trying to throw a ton of sounds into his songs but for now; he sounds like shit.

Also, fuck you for making me bother with this shit, now I've learned about a returning character with redesign that's really tugging at my strings.

It's really good. I played brown girls in both X and Moon.

Somewhat salty that the customization options are so fucking skimpy compared to X.

I only started getting this problem post-elite 4, though. Been fine up til then.

Since we're complaining about shit in S&M, can I just say how much the Island scan sucks massive horse dick? You can't get their HA until the bank update.

Decided to go brown route for Moon. Don't regret it.

Outside of maybe one or two scenes I didn't get the impression that there was a romantic bond between her and the MC.
While not telling you was a dick move, that's something I'd expect from her. She has been sheltered her whole life, you were her only real friend. She felt as though telling you make you feel worse than finding out yourself. Lillie didn't want to see you cry because of her. While you could argue that it actually goes against her character growth that takes place after the incident at Aether Paradise, I think it more shows that she still hasn't fully grown. Like you grew as a trainer Lillie needs to grow up as a person. That's why she wants to go to Kanto other than the fact that Lusamine is still suffering from Nihilego's corruption and the Bill might be able to help.
This was my biggest issue with the goodbye scene. It came out of left field completely. Lillie and Hau hardly even interacted in the story.

does resetting after catching tapu koko put you back before or after the elite four?

Bumping to preserve these sexy pics.

Modders be quick.

I'm still phased how a white person can be native to Kanto. These japs really really, REALLY wanna be white, don't they?

Agreed.
I play as a black girl in Sun/Moon

She's very pretty user.

Why is it when people make non-white characters they use every feature from whites when making them? Is it because whites just have the superior aesthetic? :^)

Thank you.

...

Japanese losers probably have had an inferiority complex since WWII, so they resort to making things that would never be possible in the real world. Such as "Japanese" person with natural blonde hair, and of course, full white genetics.

Keep dreaming, gooks! You'll never be like your superiors!

Ya, Gal-O Sengen

Not because she was born in japan means she is japanese.

Karin is half Jap, (her dad is japanese) and R.Mika is supposed to be full Jap.

It's because it's slutty

Ganguro is the second worst fetish.

Who you talking about, Bill? He's not native to Kanto he's native to Johto very important distinction.
Also his name is Masaki Sonezaki in japanese anyway

Gamefreak what is this? This is not acceptable.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Fuck you Gamefreak, I'm going to force this to become my fetish.

I WANT TO FUCK THE MANTIS

It's not an issue with the developers (probably, it's an issue with the ratings boards (CERO, ESRB, etc.)
sourcegaming.info/2015/09/18/cero-and-palutenas-censorship/

...

Mantis a best pokefu

Because that's a shitpost. We're being serious about this.

...

is there a way to play this on pc?
and where can I aquire the rom from?

Yeah, they got a new guy doing the sound direction.

The games aren't going to get shitty JoJo names, you gigantic autistic.

B-But

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shine_On_You_Crazy_Diamond
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Jam

The only reason they would get those names is because of JoJo's, you sperg.

As annoying as that is, I'll take autistic Jotaro-Red over the red-eyed edgeboy we've been getting for years.

also people who think that the z-move poses are references are retarded. When you reference Jojo poses you have to make the actual poses.

They have tits, retard. And we don't know Lillie's age. Both have hit puberty, both are hot, fuck them right in the pussy!

I'm usually satisfied for a good long while after finishing a pokemon game, this is the only one that makes me want to go back and try it with a completely different team.

I still hate this 'only one save' bullshit nintendo does.

She's Gladion's little sister, and he's supposed to be middle school age, it doesn't take much to figure she's supposed to be 11 like the player character and Hau are.

I finally bred a Hexaperfect Komm-o after about three days of mindlessly running back and forth actually I probably bred more, but only just now got the iv judge

What's a good name for it? I was going to go Shenron, but it's a girl and that sounds stupid

Why didn't you do the Tauros charging-in-a-circle trick?

Shine comes to mind but she wasn't a dragon.

Clanger or Bolt

WHY IS THERE A NIGGER GOING "YEAAH, UH HUH" IN THE BACKGROUND

It's a sample, Gamefreak has a new music director.

archive.is/5vFjB

Wait, Shota Kageyama stepped down I think.
There IS a new music director though. They've been getting new people since Black2/White2.

Because team skull are lame wannabe gangsters that are shit at everything including rap.

That is the joke.

Japan knows his sacrifice

At least they have more than 4 options for the Battle tree music.

I'd almost forgotten how infuriating it is to try and catch wild pokemon that come with self destruct.

I can't believe they actually put Anabel in a three piece suit.
It's like they know exactly how to yank my leash with NPCs.
Is she still a loli?

lol
