  5. Is anyone else slight annoy at all of the people raging about Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon? Neogaf is has like 30 + pages full of people being super angry. I guess they aren’t a fan of this Pokemon Zoids crossover. Atleast Togedemaru is still in the game, maybe gamefreak finally gave it a viable steel attack. Maybe AZ and Zinna will show up in the game. AZ floette needs to be an event in the game or they have decided to never give it to us. They need to be smart about tying up loose ends in this game. Also, they should add new pokemon if they region is going to have any drastic changes .

    • I’m with you on being annoyed at of all of the people ragging about Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. We don’t even know anything about the games really, just 20 seconds of footage. The biggest complaints that I’m seeing from other people are that it’s either:

      1.) Not on the Switch
      2.) Wasn’t Diamond and Pearl Remakes
      3.) Sun and Moon was terrible, so therefore they think this is terrible too.

        • Yeah. IKR? There doesn’t seem to be in-between for most people. It either is really good or really bad. For me, I like to think of the strengths and weaknesses of each game and try to give as fair of a review as possible. Sun and Moon were really interesting. They really did break the mold. Not that there is anything wrong with that. A lot of reviewers in the past such as IGN and GameSpot keep complaining that it’s the same formula. My one problem with Sun and Moon was the lack of post-game. Once you were done, I feel like there wasn’t enough to do after you caught the Legendaries and did the Ultra Beast storyline. I hope that Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon fix these issues.

      • I hope at E3 we get a really polished trailer, that makes these people’s jaws drop. I think gamefreak is in a transitioning process right now, which is why Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are 3DS games.

    • Want to know what… You read my mind! I hate all this ridiculous hate on USUM! So what Sun & Moon didn’t meet standards of these d*ck bags! Or so what its not on the Freakin’ Switch! Or yeah we wanted D/P but who gives a flying type f*ck! We got a game and thats what matters be happy for what we have and not what we don’t people! And we probably will see D/P next time around and if not oh well we can’t understand GF’s methods of Pokemon we just have to hope to get what we are hoping!

      Sorry I’m venting about it

      • I completely understand the venting. I was really shocked with the amount of hate for USUM. I am hoping that it knocks the socks off of the people hating on it.

  6. Do you think there will be gyms in USUM? They may be adding the 8th totem (Lycanroc), it could be to match the number of gyms needed. And it could mean that Olivia isn’t a Kahuna/Elite 4 member, or at least a Rock type specialist (there would have to be a rock type gym if Lycanroc’ll be a totem)

    • There’s those empty lots in some of the towns and routes across Alola that looked suspicious. Those could be locations of future Gyms. Also, from what I saw in the trailer, it looks like the house where the player starts on Route 1 has either become a town (there’s a Pokemon Center to the left when the player is walking up to Route 1 and festive banners as well as Pokemon such as Wingull in the background, so it really does look like a town now) or is an entirely new location on maybe a different or new island. The place where you also pick your Starter Pokemon looks different. They’re not standing on that platform in Iki Town like they were in Sun and Moon.
