Pokémon Sun and Moon

[Samus Aran]

i mean i'm definitely loving it yeah

"is online good" is a weird question to ask about for pokemon though. you either trade or battle online just as you have since gen iv. granted, yeah, it's much easier to do so these days. and some of the online features that have been added since the last time you played (like wonder trade) are pretty neat

Is there a matchmaking mode or something similar?

my rating for now of all gens, specifically with their generation debut games:

2>7=5>1>4>6>3

Is there a matchmaking mode or something similar?

matchmaking?

i mean u can battle randoms, kax p much nailed it it's mostly the same
there are rated battles but they ban u if u aren't good with hacks or if u do something dumb

like i got banned on Y bc i used a 99999999999999999 pokemiles code and transferred it to my online pkmn account LMAO

tho they took out rotation & fkin triple battles lame

[famy]

i was sad there were so few double battles in game lol

for battling online people, you go into festival plaza mode, select battle on the bottom screen ("communication features" or smth) and then select battle spot. from that point you can select if you want a free battle or a "rated" battle (ranked match basically), and also select if you want to include the clause that bans certain legendaries.

for both free battles and rated battles, you're paired up with someone random. they're 3v3 btw.

[Samus Aran]

by the way, don't bother playing free battles online until you have pokemon at at least level 50. as always, pkmn levels online are pulled down to 50, but not up. i learned the hard way that this general rule still applies.

idk if you can raise levels to 50 in link battles (as in battles with people on your guest list/vip (friends) list). haven't tried a link battle yet.

I agree with your game rankings though I'd probably stick 4 at the bottom and keep the rest of the order the same. Just really hated everything about DP

My true difficulty was Cynthia, I had to try a lot to actually beat her.  I have not played gen 4 since gen 4 times so I can't truly recall how difficult or any other aspects of Pearl but I remember it was at the very least decent to me.

And althought I wasn't into the meta that time, I heard it was the most balanced it ever was then.  Wish I were active that time.

Oh I have no idea about difficulty? All pokemon games are pretty easy

it was the first time since blue i played a pokemon to finish so idk maybe it was because of that

[Samus Aran]

tbh i've had a couple points in sun/moon that have been really challenging for me. totem lurantis, nanu, and third guzma. for nanu it was mostly because my team is just ass against dark and ground types rn, so his krookodile fucking annihilated most of my team.

gen 6 was very easy. gen 5, i did struggle a little bit with final N. i don't recall having any trouble with anything prior to gen 5.

also, d/p is also my least favorite, but i at least thank it for finally giving us our modern battle mechanics (by splitting up physical/special moves correctly instead of by type)

You should finally be out of the tutorial phase if you got to the cemetery 

I can trade if you want. If you want a baby of any of the late game Pokémon lemme know
