Tfw Ultra Sun/Moon is across the board better games than S/M which are clearly paid betas

So, Sinnoh Confirmed yet?

how is citra going?

I pirated Moon and still feel ripped off

Everyone shut the fuck up and post pokegirl porn. That is the only salvagable reason for these threads.

I want to play the new ones just for this

Of course they are OP its in the title.

Are you stupid?

so far, still dead

The only good megas should have just been regular evos.

Case in point. Nearing a thousand pokemon and only the second kickboxer/streetfighter one in a sea of generic dragons or bugs.

When will Sinnoh coming?

That was actually one of the reasons I really hated Megas. It was such an noncommittal, un-Pokemon like way to add new "evolutions" because I guess they were just too afraid to make 4th stage evos a thing.

Gamefreak insiders are leaking that pokemon switch is going to follow the breath of the wild/odyssey map model so if its sinnoh get ready for hikan fuckers!

I always wanted a fire/elec raiju/ball lighting evo for manectric, but that's impossible now because it will always be stuck with a giant foam pyramid stuck to its head tha gamefreak will never retcon. It's a good feeling, knowing one of your favorites will never actually be good.

But Mega Manectric is actually good.

what about regional evolutions?

try having hitmonchan as your favorite
you do not understand pain

Mega's were poorly handled, instead of giving them to low tier pokemon they instead give them to those that already dominated online.

tfw blowing a scalyfag the fuck out by one shotting their mega evo with Sylveon.

That queeny evee was a goddamn smogon ruiner and for that i will always love it.

...

No YOU do not understand pain.

USUM are still complete shit. Being better than SM isn't much of an accomplishment.

Did someone mention 'growing pains'?

Gamefreak tries really, really hard make every fighting type fit a unique discipline.
It's one of the main reasons that a lot of Pokemon who would fit a lot better as fighting types (Zeraora most recently) aren't fighting types.

It's probably because of the people who bitched about all the 4th gen evos to old pokemon.

By good I mean I want to be able to use it without wanting to gouge out my eyes.

Would be a neat idea but it would conflict with megas if they were on the same species. Otherwise that's just alolan forms in the same style as exeggutor, marowak etc and I wouldn't mind seeing more like that but they'll drop the idea next gen.

My favoutite was shafted as early in gen 2 by getting the short end of the special stat being split, especially combared to its version exclusive counterpart who got a massive stat total for no real reason. It was painfully mediocre for gen 3-4 but got a really good ability in gen 5 that was strong enough to have an impact on the meta but didn't have the stats, typing or movepool to pull it off so I got to watch it job to a frog with autism until in gen 6 they dialed it back by nerfing the ability hard and going full retard with megas and power creep. Then gen 7 there's a new alternate form that looks amazing but is also ice, the single worst type in the game. The fact that this form is actually good is nothing short of a miracle, but next gen gamefreak will give the one unique niche it has to a bunch of other random shit guaranteed.
Is it better to have brief moments "maybe it's actually good now" only to get shoved back into the depths of PU, or to just stay there?

Gamefreak logic.

Sylveon was only over good because fairy hasn't been around long enough for some cancerous peice of shit to fill every possible niche for the type. Magearna is doing a great job of fixing that though.

The main designer said in an interview that he never expected players to use Aegislash as a special attacker. That's how out-of-touch Gamefreak is.

...

Pathetic.

True but this is a new B team and for a first outing? pretty fucking good and better than gamefreaks A team output. Which gives hope for vidya in future from them.

Its a straight jacket.

post more porn of that slut before the furfags overrun the thread

Because she's one of the good guys now, against kikelord Giovanni. get it?

...

Doesn't change the fact that it could be a SEXY straight jacket. Like with armpit holes or something.

Aegislash is proof that gamefreak doesn't do basic math or look at stats before publishing. I really hope whoever designed that thing was taken out back by the nintendo yakuza.

Flygon already is 3rd stage you stupid nigger.

Yanmega-Mega when?

Playing US, holy fuck I don't remember the first version being this fucking handholdy and intrusive even though I remember all these same cutscenes and plot beats
I think I've only actually played maybe 4 total hours out of my 8 hour save

Flygon already is a third stage user
Also I feel your pain

Ctrl+V betrayed me.

Don't you get tired of asking every game should be borderline softcore porn? Just look up lewds on a booru.

Oh you mean these?

GET OUTTA HERE LIGHTNINGFAG!

Never. Megas were gen 6.

Yeah, the only problem is that heart gold and soul silver sound like shit compared to the originals

...

A fair price to pay for this level of comfy.

Fuck megavols, gaymoves, and ultrafags. I want Gen3 remake now

But user, one of the strongest Pokemon in the metagame is ice type.

Okay.

...

The main problem with Ice types is that 99% of them are fucking defensive. Ice is shit defensively because it only resists itself. The non-shit Ice types are the pure offense ones and Alolatails. And GF still fucking makes Ice dominantly defense for some fucking reason.

Ice now resists water, dragon, ground and flying, is no longer weak to steel and gets a +50% defense boost from hail. Avalugg strong.

3's just a trap's body with a pussy.

I once OHKO an avalugg with Aura Sphere. Never bats an eye

But did you ever a whole english?

Maybe. But the Cianwood and Ecruteak music in the remakes especially… I had to stop playing to ask myself "why"

...

I see we have no patricians in this thread.

I hate english

quebecois pls go

She's a 40 year old mother of two.

shameful.

ITS THE EXACT SAME GAME YOU FUCKING MORON

Then why did she have boy chest and no hips?
That's not ara at all.

And they continue letting Mohn stranded on that stupid archipelago and take care of our pokemon like a fucking slave.

Not all mothers are made equal user.

Say what you will about Gen 1 but the designs are a lot more memorable than most other mons.

Alakazam is still a top competitor and one of the most iconic psychic types in the series, though.

Gardevoir is neither furry nor has tits, and has always been mediocre as fuck compared to alakazam. Since gen 1 alakazam has always been the defacto psychic type special sweeper and even without the mega taken into account is still only surpassed by mewtwo and deoxys.

WRONG

I WANT TO FUCK ROWLETT

At least you can listen to the old music in HGSS.

HE IS A PRECIOUS, SPHERICAL BOY ONLY FOR LIFTING GENTLY AND HUGGING, I AM CALLING OFFICER JENNY!

What about Gengar vs Mismagius? i love haunter but tend to lean to Mismagius just for stuff like Power Stone.

I thought Lopunny was the furbait? she's based on a playboy bunny and her mega makes her look like a stripper.

Gengar has the raw stats and more than enough movepool. Not really a contest.

Mismagius can't really hold a candle to Gengar. Gengar is better by several magnitudes.
In single-player Mismagius is usually good enough and doesn't require trading to get, which is something.

I WANT TO FUCK OFFICER JENNY TOO

Wait, are they really not including any more Megas?
Gamefreak needs to pull a Gen V and not add any more shit and spend a game refining everything they already have by going back and adding new evolutions, megas, and Alola forms.
How hard is it to even sort of balance this game?

Why the fuck would you want even more cancerous megas?

i tend to like it for moves like power stone, hex and willo the wisp. i havent used gengar since gen 2 but it was leaning to poison over a variety of moves and i like to cover my bases.

plus its a cute witch.

You're telling me Mega Sunflora would be cancerous?

Sorry user but a cute monster girl who gets more powerful the more you love her, can talk to you telepathically and see the future is objectively better than an old yellow Jew with 45 defense and a satanic pentagram on his head who apparently has 5000 IQ and still chooses to (((obey))) random ten year old's.

I wasn't aware the Final Fantasy XIV staff was making these games. :^)

its pronounced "Koreans"

Do trainers have more than 2 Pokemon now?
I'm glad to hear it's better, but this is really what will make or break it for me.

From a design standpoint, yes. In terms of mechanics/meta impact, this is gamefreak so they'd probably go full retard. There is a precident for taking totan shitmons, giving them broken typings for no reason and then adding a mega with effective attacking stats that are almost 50% higher than the intentionally broken mega legendaries from that same generation.

How fucking pathetic do you have to be to get seduced by a shoggoth shrieking at you?

The correct fix would be to not feature them in future games and pretend they don't exist and move on. But that's not possible so the next best answer is to not focus on them ever again.

Gengar also learns Wisp and Hex, and pulls it off better than Mismagius because of more immediate power and speed.
Power Gem is a good move but Gengar gets Focus Blast, which is a much better move. There is no Pokemon in the game that resists both Shadow Ball and Focus Blast. Not a single one.
The main thing Mismagius has over Gengar is Nasty Plot, but it's too weak and frail to make use of it.

And hey, Gengar can be cute too.

...

...

...

What's a totan shitmon?

You. Yes, you. You are a totan shitmon.

Total*

I kinda hope mega-evolution gets retconned like it never existed at some point. Like you said, just turn the good megas into new final evolutions.

I'm confused, what total shitmon was turned broken by mega evolution and is a better attacker than mega legendaries?

Mawile. Also I said higher attacking stat, not better attacker. Clear difference.

Ah, so you're mad they made a shitmon usable. Got it, we should ensure that only the top 50 pokemon are ever used by anyone, the rest should be worse than worthless.

You would think smogonfags would move onto to pokken.

You're a hero.

He's also an ultra retard if he thinks Fairy is a broken typing. It's like Poison but even worse offensively.

No, I'm just pointing out the clear neoptism involved in elevating something to that degree.
Also I'd like to remind you than kangaskhan was a shitmon before gen 6.

How about not being weak to Earthquake.

...

Pokefag porn has really fallen.

Weak bait.

...

They should make a pokemon game about a 50 year old construction foreman who needs to gather the perfect pokemon workforce for his construction company.
The main antagonist can be Team Union, and their evil plot will be using mortar made of ultra stones to make buildings out of the living bodies of rock-type pokemon.

Oy vey, I didn't know Holla Forums had so many fag lovers.

They have Levitate you gullible moron

Thanks FeeShop.

...

Ban is such a genius. Too but he like lady dick so much.

hey hey, that little niglett is a great saboteur if you know how to use her

Fuck you. Be happy your favorite does not have a mega. I wish mine didn't

You mean dumping her for Klefki?

Gen 6 ended a while ago.

It's a general rule that the more you like a pokemon, the worse it's mega will be

Sup.

Klefki or Whimsicott. Very little difference between the two in terms of usefulness. Like I said, she's a powerful prankster if you know how to use her. Like DoTA heroes. Powerful heroes are useless if you don't know how to use them efficiently.

SPHERICAL

why
>Mega Pinsir changes into yet another fucking Bug / Flying type
Atleast it got a speed boost
but still,
why

Good parenting advice Nintendo

You mean Focus Miss.
But yeah. Gengar's stats are better, and the gimmicks you can pull off with Mismagius' movepool are done better by other things since it's stats suck.

what would you like to see in a pokemon romhack/fangame?

fixed that for you

Though I'll admit he gets more out of Ghostium Z if her were to use a Z Crystal at all.

The difference between Power Gem and Focus Blast is that Power Gem has a 100% chance to deal damage but will rarely deal more damage than Shadow Ball (or even Hidden Power Fighting since your main targets are Normal types and Dark types), whereas Focus Blast has a 70% chance to outright kill most of the Pokemon that would be threatening you.

A protagonist that's already a champion of another region going somewhere on official league business and starting fresh
Also, the world needs more Orre and shadow pokemon

Good parenting advice, commie.

While battling Battle Tree, that 70% might as well be 10%. Fuck Battle Tree. They're hack as fuck

Remember that kid will be staying in its mother's pouch like, forever.
Invalid

Joke's on all of you, I ditched the Pokemon videogames after gen 5 and I don't know shit about megas or fairy types beyond romhack shit and the tabletop

How many fucking pokemon threads do you need?

Good for you user. Because megavols, Zmoves, and fairies are full of shit. I remember the days when pokemon games were finely tuned and has balanced quality gameplay. I missed Gen4

So never?

Nigger what are you talking about, are you blind?

You deserve to feel bad for being a weak willed faggot.

Well I'm putting my own Pokemon fangame together and these are the core concepts I'm aiming at:

This plays into the next point but I also want to say that I think these three things are nice conceptually but don't work from a gameplay perspective. I would rather have every Pokemon be as useful as another instead of running into shit like Brave Alakazam. It also disincentivizes switching your team around because by the time you can catch a Pokemon to replace your early route mons, they'll have additional stats from EVs so there would be little to no reason to switch them out.
Trainer battles are maybe half as common but twice as challenging as they would be in traditional games. Instead of a trainer facing you with a level 10 beedrill, they might have three or four level 10 bugs with a level 12 beedrill as their ace. If you find yourself hitting a wall you can't break past, consider going to an earlier route and stocking up on a few extra flying types, or maybe see if there's a small sidequest that will net you a fast psychic type to handle the beedrill. Speaking of sidequests…
Instead of just walking from one place to another and doing everything the game tells you to do, there are a number of smaller events and quests that can net you rewards ranging from (useful) battle items or rare Pokemon. Always optional but they'll usually provide some good benefit if you take the time to check them out.

Mostly inspired by Pokemon Adventures: Red (romhack) and Pokemon Reborn (fangame) but I swear to god I'm only inspired by the gameplay of the latter and none of the godawful writing.

pancakechu

Go away failed normalfag, you're not welcome here

But what about field effects?

Shhh…. the oldgenfag doesn't know about field effects yet.

ikr fucking shit

Wait are those actually in the new games? I was talking about how Reborn did them.

Yeah, sure. The most balance PvP pokemon meta was Gen5 despite the being the Weather War Meta.

Bumping this question. Have some lewd.

So now every pokemon of a given species is the exact same with no variation whatsoever. So much depth has been added.
These already exist.
I need a translation for this.

thats more like it.

There is no way to make a challenge that requires planning without introducing level scaling as anything can be grinded through.
What a piece of shit

lol butthurted by Stealth Rocks. You must be a weak generic trainer

But does it still have fuck all post-game content and the main game constantly holds your hand like every other gen 6 and 7 game?

I kinda liked them but they always made battles feel a bit too random. "Haha flying type attacks don't work against fighting types because there's sand on the ground and now strength is a 180bp psychic attack that is super effective against opposing psychic types and your accuracy is reduced by two stages every time you use a move that starts with the letter F and any Pokemon designed by Atsuko Nishida lose 1/8th of their max HP every turn".

Yes, because I'd rather catch a Pokemon that's immediately useful instead of weaker than a Pokemon it should be stronger than and possibly crippled by a debilitating nature.

This fucking gen

So you're too lazy to do even the most basic of optimization but your autism prevents you from using something subobtimal, and your solution to this is for the game to just give you everything from the start.

how about something like a press turn system in pokemon. like, landing a supereffective attack lets your monster act twice next turn, with the second time at half the speed value, but a resisted or nullified move gives lets the target act twice next turn, except for switching (obviously, press turns shouldn't stack).

or, what if pokemon could know 8 moves instead of 4. there'd be more room for utility moves.

Not even remakes. USUM are the finished product from last fucking year because Nintendo rushed them to put a game out in 2016. USUM are the same fucking games as SuMo but now you fight Hau instead of the Professor before you become champ.

why is she such a slut?

Acting twice will force you to rethink every move in the game. A less messy way could be landing a supereffective move lets your next attack always be first. That could shake up the meta quite a bit without having to rebuild the foundation.

If you're using press turn you have now made a Shin Megami tensei game and should just fuck off as Pokemon type triangles turn everything into a joke.

Full retard. The game is already "whack-a-weakness", let's just exacerbate that further with free turns.

It's just to streamline the Pokemon catching process a bit. Instead of catching three or four different Abras hoping for a Timid nature, or going through some process of finding a Timid mon with Synchronize or doing some Timid Everstone breeding bullshit, you can just catch an Abra and it'll be as good as any other Abra.
It'll also be as good as any opposing Abra.

I'm not giving the player everything at the start. I'm telling them, "Don't waste your time hunting for a Pokemon that's better than all the others. Make the most of what you have."
Mind you, I mostly play simulators. The actual games are garbage if you compare them to pretty much any RPG on the market. If there are people that have fun playing around with breeding and hate having to use Pokemon that aren't any stronger or weaker than other Pokemon (outside of level, ability, and movepool) then they probably shouldn't play my fangame. I won't hold it against them.

you know what would be nice?
if pokemon hoped on that nice fucking jazz train mario has been riding since 3d world.

Your red text isn't close to English OP. 'is' is used for singular. Here: Ultra sun and moon ARE better games than…

You used 'are' properly at the end. Getting real tired of illiterate posting here these days.

this

Pokemon has been a "whack-a-weakness" game instead of "gotta catch'em all" since Gen3

That's fucking stupid and everything you and have suggested is stupid.

The fact is there is nothing wrong with the core Pokemon battle system as it stands. The turn based, pick out of 4 moves, system is very robust and simple. EVs are there to min-max and to customize Pokemon so they can do multiple roles instead of being sweepers with a boosting move/STAB attack/STAB attack 2/and coverage move all the time. Some natures need to be added to account for HP, because at the time in Gen 3 adjusting the HP stat was rather tricky, to the point you could glitch the game if you fed your Pokemon that one EV reducing berry and made your HP EVs go below 0. That doesn't seem to be an issue anymore as the glitch no longer works and we actually have Pokemon like Zygarde who actually change their base HP stats in battle, so changing HP stats via natures wouldn't be that much of an issue anymore.

So you want that one mechanic from Jade Cocoon where you mix monsters to make the perfect one?

Gen 2 is still the best in the series

That's fucking stupid, you literal retard.
Well then nobody will play your shitty fangame because it won't be challenging or good. You complain that the Pokemon games are garbage RPGs while wanting to make a fangame that's even more garbage. Are you really this stupid?

What? No.
It's just that Pokemon rely solely on their base stats, so players won't run into useless crap like a Modest Rampardos but it also means they can't train a 6IV Jolly Rampardos with 252Atk/252+Spe and steamroll the whole game with no opposition.

I do love Jade Cocoon though.

Except gen 2 was the second worst.

Which is fucking stupid.

REMINDER: Splatoon - Pokemon crossovers are cute.
CUTE.

In that case you won't be able to fix it without removing it competently because pokefag tournaments are autism incarnate and only the best will be used. Therefore any change you make to the system will just be abused to the point you will end up with a similar issue again. In the example you provided the no fun fags will just catch a shit ton of mons trying to find that perfect statted mon and even then we are still seeing exactly that. At most I like the idea of balancing out natures and making them less of a focus on the meta.

I never played past gen 2 for a long time and only caught up on all the games recently, replaying gen 2 alongside them. Gold/Silver is still far more enjoyable than d/p (which are terrible compared to platinum) and any game post gen 4
And considering gen 2 managed to fit on a GBC cart is still technically impressive

I wish Pokemon stats and base power mechanic is as complex as Disgaea games.
Complex mechanics = maximum satisfaction
Unlike what these three stooges suggesting.

...

largely because they have no "cutting-edge graphics"

I guess I'm glad I'm not the only one.

The problem with pokemon relying solely on their base stats is that it removes their ability to be decent at more than one thing. EVs, IVs and Natures exist so that you can customize your pokemon to better handle situations, and removing that is removing some of the core depth of the gameplay.

Here's a minor example. Take Alakazam. He has 135 base Sp.Attack and 120 base Speed. If you decent to gun for speed with, say, a speed boosting nature and 252 sp.atk/speed, you will outspeed other 120 base speed pokemon who didn't do that, including other Alakazams obviously, and still hit pretty hard. However, if you go for a special attack boosting nature instead, you gain the ability to more reliably kill off certain threat pokemon at the expense of speed. It's your complete choice with how what you need your Alakazam to do and how it fits into your team. Some will need the extra speed, some will need the extra Sp. Atk, and this is just the most basic example I can think of right now. It's customization like that, that draws some people to pokemon's gameplay, and removing that will make a lot of pokemon really, really shitty.

That's why your idea sucks.

Compared to Pokemon? Yes, lol.

ANSWER ME ONE FUCKING QUESTION

did those motherfuckers fix this?

Thank you user, and it's worth noting that since you can have 6 Pokemon in a team that how your choice of optimizing each single Pokemon will affect how well the whole team works together. By outspeeding the Fighting type that hurts the Dark type on your team you insure that you are able to bring out your Dark type safely if needed.

No. Disagea doesn't have complex mechanics period. Anybody who thinks so is retarded.

level 60 pokemon in ultraspace and level 59 granbulls :^)

You must be a Battletreefag

Chanseys and Blisseys appear in Poni Island now.

...

Y-Yaaaaaay.
Still no trainer rematches outside rechallenging the league over and over?

Did they fix Battle Tree and Royal Rumble?

That’s not saying much. You’re saying a low bar is better than a lower bar. While true, you act as if the low bar is the best way to do things. Disgaea is fucking horrible anyway.

Talk about a blinding bias! I'm not saying Disgaea is gold but the mechanics are a lot more complex than the average pokemon game simply because nintendo doesn't want to scare away their money.

Nobody said that, you dumb lying faggot. We said it wasn't as complex as you seem to think it is, which it isn't.

you really expect gamefreak to not be retarded and continue using good mechancis from previous games while expanding on them?

You guys must be Sword Online fags

With how anons said it was so good, I was expecting something. Made it sound like they fixed all their old errors. Do trainers still have 1 or 2 Pokemon?

I'm expecting gamefreak to dump good mechanics from previous games while cherry-picking bad ones and make them worse.

There are actually a few challenging fights in Sun/Moon if I remember, nothing too hard but if you weren't prepared could fuck you or KO your team with one tricks

what. I fucking hate battle tree/subway/tower/house of panckakes

I hear some of the ultraspace pokemon are even audino. Are Ultra Beasts infinitely obtainable now?

Good enough for me!

yes, except for the new ones.

you're not? my man

haha kek. those strips nails every single mistakes and discontinuation gamefreak made

What does this mean?
They keep respawning over and over like the Friday Lapras or the Drifloon outside the Power Plant?

Should I just sell this thing? I used to have a 3DS before and all I really cared to play on it were Animal Crossing, Dillon's Rolling Western and Mighty Switch Force. MSF I now own on PC.

maybe it's region locked? check your game ID and console ID

they respawn whenever you enter their ultra dimension.

just install custom firmware and freeshop

Are you autistic or something?

That first one is a pretty accurate example of everything right and wrong with Pokemon Adventures.

there we go,

So… are USUM the same game storywise with only a few addons or they are alternate in some capacity like BW2?

What the hell is lederhosen?

They are complete version of SM beta

The island trial thing is the same but the shit with aether is entirely different.

german leather pants?

Why do you keep regurgitating this meme?

shut up kike

Ara ara~

because it's true; nintendo churns out a pokemon game that is broken in several ways and when enough bitching happens, they make a "sequel" which is just the finished game.

Except they've been doing the enhanced versions since gen 1. You're acting like this is a new development or something.

And opinion discarded for not knowing that Nintendo doesn't make Pokemon.

You first, (22)

I can do this all day, kike

I mean that the game has an absurd amount of handholding.

Is it even worth it if I don't give a shit about the games available?

...

I like Japan's humor.

digimon was always better tbh

Somebody post more of that trap

Combine that with the fact they aren't shiny locked, and hot damn.

At least it increases the odds of finding a UB with a nature you want (all you have to do is grind it up for the IVs via hyper training).

You’re a massive dipshit, user.

Pokefag Nintendrone, please.

...

at least Digimon doesn't hide behind the shit they are doing

Unless your name is Stakataka where two for the six stats need to be low.

oh you mean that cheap imitation of Pokemon who failed to impress any serious gamer outside Japan?

Metagross should always be running Bullet Punch. And in doubles, partner it with something that hurts common fairy types. Sludge Wave any good- or does the nerf in doubles make it useless?

Oh yeah, "black caps" to make an IV 0 aren't a thing.
Ah well, at least you can fight it over and over.
I know speed is one of the IVs you want low- what's the second?

>anything pokemon (and the fucking anime no less) over digimon tamers
lmao cuck

Defense believe it or not. It's a monstrous offensive pokemon in Trick Room disguised as a wall pokemon. Stakataka needs a Lonley nature and 15 IV with no EV investment in Defense to Beast Boost Atk.

And rough consensus is that Stakataka's Typing and Sp.Def means it doesn't do much for Bulk, and it's only real use is under TR with Gyro Ball and Rock Slide.
Meanwhile, Blacephalon does more damage than MCharizardY, so Mind Blown could be comdined with Choice Specs or Firium Z so you have 2 nukes instead of one (Z Mind Blown and Mind Blown). It's Chandelure built like a glass cannon on steroids.

You would likely never actually use Mind Blown on Blacephelon. It gets Fire Blast.

Clearly, she's the best thing to have ever come out of this series.

Depends. It might be so fragile it won't live long anyway. Though allegedly calcs say the only thing to truly wall it is Tyranitar.

I think you might be overestimating neutral coverage.

pleb beyond pleb

...

I like both. At least these threads have humans posted in them now.

Woah there fags.

what the hell is wrong with her face and tits?

On paper, Wicke or even the rock girl should have been more popular.
Never underestimate blonde hair I guess.

Come on, we need to achieve higher quality taste

Roxanne you mean?
Only one artist has really done her well.

It doesn't last long but the cost of Mind Blown is far too high for it to be a viable nuke. It costs 50% HP even if the opponent uses Protect, and it also means you take half of your max HP as damage on a bad predict if Toxapex comes in (or you're forced to play mindgames when there's a Ferrothorn sitting in front of you, because pressing the wrong button means huge repercussions).
Fire Blast can sweep a team. Mind Blown will K.O. you before the opponent if it's the final turn of the battle, giving your opponent the win.
The choice is obvious.

...

Shit man, I feel you. Been all in on Raichu since first gen, since before seeing a single episode of that show.

Fuck Pikachu.

wait is it new that the pokemon are making faces in combat?

Scan the second island for best pokemon today

Holla Forums at work again I see.

...

I had fun playing pokemon x this past week.
Was the first pokemon game i've actually bought since fire red back when i was a kid.

Team flare was retarded, Lysandre had real motivation and felt like a good character. They didn't really feel like they belonged together at all, flare was just a generic gimmick group while Lysandre was more giovanni-ish.

Serena was a decent rival, though i felt more like i was her rival than she was mine. I've heard that "rivals" in the other games are more like fatboy and egghead, which is shitty.
I felt bad for her because she got continually more and more frustrated every time she lost to me.

Fatboy and egghead i actually liked as characters, made the world feel a little more alive, like they were going on their own adventures and had different motivations than simply being the best there ever was.
TMs not being single use was neat, but they were very expensive to buy when you actually could and most of them i just got from talking to random people.

There was a lot of tacked-on online shit that i never even touched.
The nintendogs pokemon-amie thing would have been much better if there were more to it, but i did like the concept.
The whole love-buff shit was neato, actually boosting your pokemon's abilities significantly based on how much it loves you made it feel worth it to put the time in.
The amount of time it took per pokemon felt about right, it took a good while, but not forever to get them up to full affection, assuming you're good enough at head-it's unlimited mode. Less than an hour, i think.

I don't think i'll buy another pokemon game again for many many years, not until it changes significantly again, because it really is a scam just in general. Release basically the same game over and over again, multiple versions at full price each time and all. X was good though, as far as i'm concerned.

Could be Lysandre was vague to his minions. "I'll reshape the world so you'll like it". Or they took the team motto that "everything is ugly except for us" and kept their mouth shut about the genocide.

Mega Pinsir's actually pretty cool though. Pinsir's already pretty intimidating with those pincers and that fucking demonic mouth; the only thing more terrifying would be if the eyes and mouth got even more demonic and it FUCKING SPROUTED WINGS TO MURDER YOU WHEREVER YOU GO SO THERE IS NO ESCAPE
If I was running away from an angry Pinsir only to see it get so mad that its eyes turned yellow and it spontaneously grew wings to chase me down, I'd shit myself.

I remember getting into the parallel dimension in pokemon diamond to catch Giardia demon. That was spooky.

What is this? Pre-ORAS Gen 6?

Maybe, or more likely they just didn't put that much thought into it.

I didn't really like team flare at all, but Lysandre was cool.
I guess i just want grunts that feel like more of a significant threat.

That mega gyarados kicked my poor lucario's shit in due to earthquake. Blastoise ended up saving my ass.

If you abandoned them out of shame you didn't love them in the first place you heartless bastard

I think it's an Ubers meme list.

Clearly, but that wasn't my question

A lot of normalfags and diehard pokemon fans I've been noticing are not happy with Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon being so similar to S/M. B2W2 may have been Gamefreak's biggest mistake as it raised the bar for them when it comes to the 3rd version of the same game.

Not to mention Emerald.

And Platinum.

Yeah shit, when you put it like that.
> US and UM fixed some of the issues in SM, has a post-game plot, infinite ultrabeasts, and Battle Factory.

The nips are finally starting to understand the superiority of aras.

That art is shit, wtf is wrong with her legs?

her ass ate them

I'd ara her ara's.

Shitty perspective.

y'all got shit taste in porkymans

It isn't the perspective's fault, the fag drew her calves as if they were toothpicks compared to her gargantuan ass.

You must be really used to identifying plebs, given what happened to that franchise.

I prefer the one with innies.

He was being literal.

What the fuck is the difference between this trash and the trash that came out before it?

Were pokémon real, you wouldn't even deserve a fucking bidoof.

Could you be any more of a faggot?

This trash is a slightly bigger pile and has a few worn out air fresheners thrown on to keep up the appearance of having done something

So like any pokemon game since gold

From what I can tell nothing besides 5 new pokemon and two different forms, it's just a lazy cash grab.

Answer me this, Holla Forums: Does US/UM improve item availability for things like evolution stones? I remember how annoyed I was to learn that there was only one dawn stone in the game in the postgame only, and you could only get extras and other rare stones by random chance on a goddamn timer from Isle Aphun.
I heard there are also move tutors, but the move reminder in S/M didn't show up until you were right outside the doors to the league, and even Oriocorio's ghost form was postgame only. I was pissed.

Nigga just edit the save

Even in Sun/Moon you can send your Pokemon mining, and the beans can halve the time it takes to 12 hours.
Great if you play in bursts, but yeah- not great. Kind of curious myself.
Especially with shit like Dragon Scales and Razor Claws/Fangs.

deflate your breasts and a penis will grow

inflate your breasts and the penis will shrink and hide back inside your body

this is science

Is the story the exact same as Sun and Moon? Or did they pull off an Emerald/Platinum where it's just the ending/legendary sub-plot's climax that is different?
post yfw Game Freak will never do direct sequels ever again.

They only did one good direct sequel and it wasn't BW2

So is Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon's story any different? I usually "borrow" a game's sister version for the sake of nuzlocke, whereas this gen seems to have four fucking versions of the exact same game. Thus I want to make sure that I won't be purchasing the exact same game twice.

Shit, this is out already?

Anyways, is this game worth the pirate if you have already played SuMo?

Also, I did not play nor purchase regular Sun nor regular Moon.

Mudsdale looks like that one really ugly grappler from USFIV

I don't plan to play this and I couldn't find the strength or interest to get through Sun and Moon.
I honestly wouldn't waste my time with a nuzlocke

It's fucking agitating if you've already played the first games
At least the first time around all the handholding and constant interruptions are from new characters with dialog and cutscenes you haven't already seen

I've been avoiding spoilers, but it's exactly what you said. Seems to be one hell of an ending change though.

I don't think Pokemon is suited to direct sequels. I think they should use the Monster Hunter model and release a G-Rank version of the games with massively buffed difficulty and reward.

I felt like my intelligence was being insulted the whole time I played Sun/Moon because it was designed for actual retards. So I pirated Ultra to see if they changed anything, and now I feel like I'm wasting my time playing the same damn game. Oh wow they made some minor edits so now it's overall less of a fucking chore, but it's THE SAME GAME. I already played it, I'm done, fuck them and their nostalgia pandering boss rush horse shit that should have been DLC.

Theres a surprising lack of cute Hapu art. Is she in the new game?

Hapu isn't really cute.

how dare you

She is too.

...

It's the bonnet. Bonnets are just not cute at all.

Acerola is cuter

Alkazam turned out akright.
Gengar tough not so much.

Wrong.

Mega Mawile might be one of the greatest pokemon ever made.

What the fuck is a mega? I think I was right when I quit pokemon Gold/Silver

Imagine the highest tier pokemon, now imagine giving them temporary evolution that make them even stronger

they gave them to some low tier pokemon too.

Wait, so it is like an alternate story/timeline or something happens before/after SM's events?

Which could've just used normal evolutions to make them usable again.

Megas were a huge mistake and there was no reason to introduce them

Alternate storyline. UltraSun/Moon are practically Platinum version of Sun and Moon.

Split into two games for maximum Jewry.

How is it maximum Jewry when you don't need to buy both games? Only idiots have ever bought multiple versions.

Please tell me more about how this isn't jewry

Well shit, that's a bummer, so in your opinion, if I were to play them is better to skip SM and go directly to USUM? I mean, I collect the games, but when it comes to just having a "hub" version I like to stick to only one.

I do, but only as a collector, and this recent bunch has me really thinking.

It's maximum Jewry because it specifically targets autistic fucks - and by extent, people with addictive personalities - with all that "version exclusives" bullshit.

Please tell me how it is, and tell us about how all of your other bad opinions are right.

Yeah that's your best bet. We aren't getting another game on the 3DS so may as well jump in with US or UM.

You're retarded.

Gee I don't know user, maybe releasing yearly titles that are full of asset flips, barely any work, run like shit despite looking bad, still releasing two games, and then another two games with minimal changes is the sign of a company that doesn't really give a shit anymore and that knows they can sell bad games to autistic idiots that will buy them for their pokewaifus be they lolis or furfags.

But what do I know

Clearly nothing from that post.

That's a great response user, I can't wait to see you go on a 50+ posts sperg trying to defend the last decade of horrible pokemon games

...

You're the only one sperging, fag.

And those people are idiots, thank you for playing.

...

Oh yeah, I sure am

Who are you quoting?

You, clearly.

But you aren't. You made a bunch of shit up.

Jesus fucking christ you are retarded.

Not me, dumbass.
Look at the IDs.

Then why did you reply to my post asking "who are you quoting?"? The question wasn't directed at you, genius.

You asked.
He's not the only one capable of answering that question, since it's obvious.

Is she in a straight jacket?
yandere ara mom a best

I like the horns on mega Heracross, but the watermellon forearms and air conditioner vent crotch are fucking dumb.

She's teaching her child how to defend itself, that's one of the best things a parent can do.

This. Mega Pinsir is fucking metal.

I wonder if that's an official image, doesn't look like it.

It's not.

But I didn't ask YOU, faggot. Nobody was talking to you.

You're cool.
>tfw you bought Moon and hoped that US/UM would just be sequels.

I don't fucking care, faggot.
I'll talk whenever i want and to whoever i damn well please, go fuck yourself.

...

I like Platinum's Battle Frontier wayyyyy more than SM/USUM's shitty Battle Tree, Battle Royale, and Battle Factory. They are full of hack and shit

Battle Agency is poorly designed and Royale doesn't have enough content. The problem with Gen 6 games and above is that almost all of it's features are barebones.

Gamefreak purposely thinned out all other post-game features so that they can force gamers to spend their time breeding, leveling up, battle and lose to Battle Tree/Royale hacked trainers and then start the cycle all over again. Not to mention that we were forced to cultivate those fucking beans in isolated archipelago or wait AT LEAST 12 hours of precious time slaving your useless pokemons to dug evolutionary fucking stones and bottle fucking caps. At least in other pokemon games before Gen 6, they provide us with new areas to explore, new people to meet and battle, new pokemon to be captured, new missions to be completed, etc. The last time I spent a few month playing post-game Pokemon was when I played BW2

I just wish berries were easier to farm in BW without the dream world since that thing is completely gone, if only Dream Radar had all the features that were lost including the whole DW pokemon roster.

Hapu is cute but there's no competition compared to the bundle of joy that is Acerola.

Is there a good emulator for the 3ds out?

Citra

can you share a working link. my country's google is a kike shill that give me nintendo websites instead of citra.

Agreed, if they had just kept the audio it would have been absolute perfection

Ugly bitch
