Thoughts on the Direct: Pokken on Switch is great for me. Never really got it for Wii U, and I’m actually starting to think Nintendo might bring over some Wii U titles to Switch since its so far successful (Please Nintendo and Atlus, bring Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE to Switch). As for UltraSun and UltraMoon, seems cool. I may get only UltraSun as I am just now beating Sun and Starting Moon. But oddly the information does seem to fit in with Laura K. Dale’s info from last year regarding Stars, so maybe they may do what Capcom with Monster Hunter XX (Generation X, or if you want to get your game on, Monster Hunter GX (Please get the reference)), and release these on both the 3DS and Switch, who knows? Glad gen 2 ia coming to the 3DS Virtual Console, but am surprised Crystal was left out.
TL;DR In all, decent info, do expect more next week. Cheers.
I like how everyone was talking about how bad they wanted a new Pokemon game and now that it got revealed I swear there is more complaints than actual hype….
No offense to everyone… it just brings me down quite a bit
I got overhype
same i got overhyped
Now no one is
is not a new pokemon game tho. Is the same game with some tweaks
TBF that’s like the majority of Pokémon games :p
It could easily be more than that, we’ve just seen 20 seconds of the game after all
hopefully, i mean i hope they go the same direction as in BW2 cause i loved those games
Ooh random idea
What if Necrozma can fuse with all the UBs?
Imagine how cool Celesteela would look.
I found this unlikely thought, UBs don’t have nearly as much relevance as Sol and luna
Fusing would probs squish poor Kartana to death
Nuuuu, fusion are supposed to make weak Pokemon stronger not kill them D:
Good, I want to chuck them into a furnace or let them be soaked til they melt
Just because they absolutely destroy you ?
No shit these stupid things has stupidly high attack, plenty of things are killed by it
Because that the point
Literally
I would love this idea …….but I have better idea Wat if he can absorb Solgaleo and Lunala when he attache them can u fell how evil was that Muhahahaaaaaa.

This is a pretty cool easter egg
Johto confirm
Just a question for those who own one, but has anyone noted how long the Switch Battery life lasts if playing a game like Shovel Knight, or Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero? Just curious as I plan to get a good number of Indies on it as I like playing indies on the go mostly.
You could probably get to about 5-6 hours easily with games like that, if not more. They’re not super intensive.
Exactly my point. Every site I see is only saying battery life for games like Breath of the Wild or Mario Kart (not that I mind, I’d play those too in portable mode) but I like variety with games, and getting indies like say Stardew Valley seems fun on the go for the Switch, but no one shows the battery life of it with indies.

I mean
It’s not like Sinnoh’s been skipped
Tbh, for the most part the order was >Main games > Third version > Remakes iirc
???
RS > FRLG > Emerald
XY > ORAS > nothing
Diamond > Platinum > Soul Silver
White > White 2 > Nothing
thats the only exception
There is no ‘exception’ because there’s no pattern to begin with
Did anybody notice those Necrozma’s triangles in Japanese logo. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1496764872728.jpg
All I wanna do… Is see you turn into… A MASQUERADE BAT! A MASQUERADE BAT!!!
YESH SOMEONE CAUGHT ON
Is it wrong to think that maybe US and UM maybe the last proper Nintendo 3DS titles for this year, and we may see Generation 8 on the Switch. Just a hunch as this gen seems very Gen 5ish to me.
remember when they sorta kinda rapped for the anime opening

10/10
Grrrrr! I need my happiness back I had it at the release, but now everything has settled down and now i feel worse
Do the opposite and get pissed off
I want to scream my frustration away
I AM HERE
Thank you
What I really want is for my friend to freakin’ actually respond back to me cause I understand she doesn’t text much but come on you can’t just look at your messages to see if someone did!
I see 🙁
I just want to talk to her and she’s giving me the cold shoulder for no reason I just want to scream out yet nope allergies have left my voice null and void
I’ve had that sort of thing happen a few
Yeah I think my worst problem I hate being ignored it gives a feeling of being inferior to the rest of the populace
Same
Why sometimes I get real upset when I’m ignored here (like if no one comments on anything I do or say for a while)
I’ll just try and get noticed.
(can one of you change his profile pic?)
Bbu nuu…
Ok so even though I just BARELY finished Pokemon Sun, I’m now thinking to trade it in when Ultra SUn comes, as I kinda am stuck with a Digital copy of Moon. But to me it seems like a smart move as I usually like to play one game as my main game and the other version as the rival game. SO I could use UltraSun now as my main game, and Moon as my rival game. Seems dumb, but unique to me lol
I am sure I was play GS to the very end but Y I didn’t remember those Clifairys dancing around the rock?
Wow… the community is hating all over the 20 seconds or so of gameplay….
I think this is the worst I’ve ever seen a Pokemon game recieved
They better plan their moves very carefully
Or what? A butthurt whiner will winge about it online?
There’s criticism, opinions, and then your meaningless drivel
And the entire comment section on the official Pokemon page
We actually got a game this year… I wish people would stop dying over this
I love it just I hate the negativity going around it stole my hype and threw me into a worse mood
AGREED
I think it’s gonna be great
Agreed
Yeah people are raging because it’s not on switch and because it’s ‘the same game’
Honestly, why did anyone expect to get a Pokemon game on the switch the first year. Gf is always behind. It took them 2 years to put a game on 3ds.
The same game thing makes sense.
Like what does alternate story even mean..
I’ll see more before judging
Exactly
Though I am judging it to be great
Of course it’s gonna be great.
The third versions are always good, and SuMo themselves were pretty good.
So they’ll be better than sumo
YAS
Im more mad about the reveal than the game itself. I know fucking nothing about this game. 5 minutes of a game no one cares about and 20 seconds near the end of like… nothing! Give us a trailer! Something!
Also it’s on 3DS so there is NO technical improvement at all.
On top of that, it is two games but its still a third version instead of a sequel apparently? Like.. what? What is it? The fact that no one can say if its a sequel or a third version shows how bad this reveal was.
IDK, I seem indifferent. As I got SUn and Moon really late, and just starting Sun, I may get a bit burnt out, hence me planing to trade in my physical copy of Pokemon Sun now for UltraSun. If what they say is true, and its an alternate story, then playing UltraSun as my main game would make re-playing my digital copy of Pokemon Moon less tedious. In all, I’m curious, and hope its not like B2W2, imo my least favorite main title Pokemon games (yes, I said it, I am sorry).
Huh…
B2W2 was packed with content at least
That I agree with. But tbh the story was lack luster compared to BW. TBH I do hope that if USUM are an alternate story of SM, they bump up the already good plot to an extent, but also add stuff that seemed….missing as I saw in the originals.
Yeah it definitely wasn’t as good as BW
I really want the games to be packed with content and I’ll be overjoyed to buy both games. But if they are the 4th pair of 3DS Pokemon games with no post-game, I hope they fail miserably. Hit ’em in the wallet and they’ll hopefully change.
I hope they’re good
Me too. But if they aren’t, the less sales the better.
But see, most people will buy the games before they find out about the post game.
This franchise gets away with so much because of the name brand.
Give us the freakin bf and I’ll shut up
Or better
These games have the possibility of being grand in content and that really excites me
Agreed
Something that’s interesting about Pokemon USUM is that we could have a somewhat similar structure in plot, but perhaps an entirely different story. I mean, it’s set in an alternate universe, so it could be drastically different in story.
If USUM are just a redone story why are they making two versions? They’ve never done that before
So before I look through everyone’s thoughts I just want to make sure I’m on the same page. We’ve got uglier clothes, Pikachu infestation, Mimikyu forces the protag into mysterious illness, Solgaleo and Lunala are forced into their radiant sun/full moon phases, and everyone’s mad, right?
sounds about right
I guess so.
Everything is right except the clothes part, they’re better and you know it
😛
I just don’t like them. I haven’t been a fan of the clothing since XY.
God no. Moon is so much better than this fake bitch. I dont care about the boy but this girl has nothing on the queen of alola.
I’m fine with the boi
Not sure why people are upset. We all know in our lifetime that we will likely get a DP remake. PLUS, in our lifetime we will see countless more new pokemon. So USUM are coming and may not introduce new pokemon… all this does is put off DP remakes and gen 8 to a later date. If you don’t want to spend money (like me if there’s no new pokkemon) on a game, then dont. But don’t claim that Nintendo doesn’t know what they’re doing. They’ve made questionable choices in the past, but as long as people keep buying the games, I would never call a game a mistake.
I don’t mind waiting on DP remakes if it means they might come to the switch
I get more hype from this awesome fucking theme song and I’m so mad they didnt keep it for the english version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUI2vRUW4jw
LISTEN TO IT. DAMN ITS GOOD
correction the english one isnt too bad
I’ve heard this hundreds of times, and I like this better. I still like the English one though.
Just curious, do you guys think they may still use trials, or if its in an alternate universe, they go back to gyms?
probably gyms
Haven’t been here in forever and only have time to type this but I’m hyped for GS but also did anyone see in the USUM trailer the bracelet he was wearing had black and white triangles
Yay your back 😀
Oh god, we have the same pfp lol.
We’re going to get so confused…
I know I haven’t posted anything in like a year but I have been see what ppl talk about.
Mostly stalking y’all ?
Black and White remakes odkfiwejfig4kfewreg
I just wanted to start that
They should be left alone
I actually like the black bracelet more, looks cooler imo
Yeah me too
I, for one, am excited to explore this beautiful region again, possibly with new pokemon. I hope trials stay and the same captains are there, just hopefully the bad and good teams are more into nature corrupting/saving.
How are other places reacting? Is this like… Paper Splash anger?
Color Splash*
Pokemons twitter says all
But parts of 4chan seem to even be reacting better..
maybe some people are judging usum by what it is, not by what it isn’t
I assume you have entered an Alt dimension where there is a new Smash Bros. called Paper Smash? (Sorry, had to make the joke).
Guys can we wait for actual info rather than judging be a small teaser?
Yeah
I wish that would happen
Tbf, a small trailer is enough because we can already see what the game is about and all that, but I still think that is too early to judge
To be fair, it’s much more than the ORAS teaser was. We’ve got enough for some early judging.
I don’t think so.
Even if they are third versions they seem to be more different than platinum/emerald were.
At least we knew what those games were.
I wouldn’t be so disappointed if the fusion forms or whatever had good designs. I kinda feel like GF has lost their touch with designs, imo.
This was literally BW2
