Pokémon Sun and Moon

[Mando Pandango]

Why do Pokemon games always stay so expensive? Right now Black and White are more expensive on Amazon than Sun and Moon

this generation has been the freshest shit since gen 5 (challenge wise imo, not sure about story yet but i think im close???  have 9 z stones atm)

it actually is a challenge IF you:

- have game on set
- only use new pokemon
- exp share off

first few hours ill admit is pretty fucking annoying but man this game blew my expectations away of being casual garbage

>one of the early trainers has red card to floor hazards shenanigans
JESUS

honestly do not mind that gyms are gone for now

[YPrrrr]

Well after spending about 3.5 hours in the same battle trying to ally chain for a shiny and getting jack shit (not even a hidden ability); I am officially retiring from my extremely brief career as a shiny hunter

God I'm dumb for doing that lol

[Travis]

i've never encountered a shiny amongst every generation i've played

i've never encountered a shiny amongst every generation i've played

neither have I but I stopped after 4.

Apparently the encounter rate became higher in x/y

[6M69I69B9]

i am ALMOST done with the game

or so i think

the plot is definitely uhh unique

also

imo so far for generation debut games, excluding sequels/remakes:
5=7>2>1>4>6>3

this game is damn beautiful, will be going into it competitively again

[Travis]

this game is hard for pokemon

the wild pokemon calling for help is starting to really annoy me. other than that it's been a really solid game

was 6 that meh? I feel like a lot of people really liked it.

Some of the designs I've been seeing for the Sun/Moon legendaries are the most un-Pokemon designs of any gen by far. The mascots are fine, but the ultra beasts...

[6M69I69B9]

Ultra Beasts come from [glow=black,2,300]a different dimension; "Ultra Space"
Only them specifically are designed like how they are.  It fits in with the story at the very least.[/glow]

Regarding gen 6, Jesus fucking christ they dropped the ball.  Transferring from Black 2, to Y, was the lamest shit I've done.  Too much hand-holding, way easier, lack of a post game.  Though, Friend Safari was fun online no doubt, but it definitely wasn't a Join Avenue...  THOUGH- I did finish the Looker side-quest.  A bit of a heart-warmer there.  Not sure why I didn't even try to attempt it until a week before Moon/Sun released.  

With OR/AS, I was displeased with how casual it was- I tried to make it harder for myself by not using any Pokemon they give me mid-game, but in the end, my time playing it wasn't truly memorable.  It for some reason came out bland for me; I actually didn't finish the game until a year later after I purchased it, and now having finished it; still didn't change my mind much.  I missed the trumpets.  Had more post game than Y, but it didn't truly interest me.  The story was uninteresting overall imo.  

With Pokemon Moon/Sun, it was so fucking fresh regarding battle strategies.  It wasn't just highlighting a super effective move and mashing A until your opponent's Pokemon faints.  I actually had to THINK to get through the Trials.  [glow=black,2,300]Wishiwashi (with a decent moveset) and Alomoloma (depends on rng)?  That was a great battle (for those who don't know, Wishiwashi needs to stay above a certain point in HP before it's reduced to one fish).  Lurantis Totem, was nuts, one ally brings in Sunlight and attacks on the side or lowers your stat, Lurantis abuses Solar Blade with STAB and PLUS it has a Power Herb (lets you use a move that needs charging, instantly).[/glow]  It truly made gyms so bland.  I hope Gamefreak takes more risks in the future.  No HM bullshit was also great.  Don't miss them one bit.  

I've actually had my team wiped out to almost nothing- even by random trainers/wild pkmn.  The story is ok, loving that Gamefreak wrote in another crazy motherfucker as an antagonist (I think the first title goes to Cyrus, who literally ditched his team to stay alone in a Hell-like dimension, second goes to Ghetsis who used his emotionally numbed son as a puppet for Team Plasma).  Gamefreak made this a quality game.  Don't care that most of the Pokemon coming out of this generation may not be as competitively viable because most have mediocre speed stats, but Z moves just buffed MANY Pokemon, an example would be Porygon-Z, his Converter Z makes you gain +1 in all stat and still convert to a type.  

Also, the fucking Dex entry for Salazzle in Pkmn Sun is so awkward for a kid's game lmao.  
>"For some reason, only females have been found. It creates a reverse harem of male Salandit that it lives with."

Only cons so far is that the cutscenes are bullshit with how many there are and that Lillie is really damn annoying.

But yeah, for a game targeted towards kids, these games seem to be in a difficulty for more seasoned players.  This game is getting a lot of praise from people who hated gen 6.  

And @Travis, I agree, though idk, I like training with this feature, but uhh catching pkmn can be a bitch.  BUT I feel like they stop to a certain point.  Still can be annoying but oh well lol.

gen 6 was awesome.

[Commander Fuckass]

this game is hard for pokemon

the wild pokemon calling for help is starting to really annoy me. other than that it's been a really solid game
