Idk if anyone has mentioned this, but during the pokemon direct, the shelf that had pokemon games did not have diamond and pearl, gotta think this was done on purpose
Ok……. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/14cf79c8bf02b859abb2a2c3b1c3f228cb50ad9efdde167aaba2f864d5f72ebf.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2f130e62a3c557b3318ce92a1eda54da93cc12d454024c965c25fbab506c88a0.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2ce21085bd2db700c3bd5d2e48e889da2995e7f0db4cf2e3a011d34f41582023.jpg

Solgaleo: Everybody says that the bat is so cool…

Holy crap, already?
HOW CAN ANYBODY DRAW THIS IN 3 HOURS?
Not that I need DP remakes right away, but at least there was decent clothing in Sinnoh..and we couldn’t even change it
US/UM is confirmed as 3DS exclusives. I guess I was wrong. It seems like we’ll have to wait longer for a true HD Pokemon title. Install base for the 3DS is larger, so I understand. The Switch needs a Pokemon title in the future to truly compete and be successful!
DP remakes could be the first Pokemon switch title maybe because we already had a remake on the 3ds
Maybe for Gen 8? Just a hunch.
However, a 4chan post (from May 29th) stated the next games would be Ultra Sun and Moon and also stated a 3rd game “Eclipse” to be coming to the switch
ＷＨＹ ＴＨＥ ＦＵＣＫ
Link to said post pls?
https://twitter.com/Dystify/status/872102675147628545/photo/1
Hmm it seems like Pokken and USUM, but let’s see.
If thisis real and I buy Ultra Sun or Moon when I could’ve waited for Switch I’m going to lose my shit
what if eclipse is the third part os the sun an moon story?
Yea it would be annoying, but I guess on a positive note it would show they want to have pokemon on the switch and this is a way to test it while still securing 3ds sales. If it works out we can probably expect D/P remakes on the switch which in the long run may be best
Seems like a load of confirmation bias.
Clearly, “Sun”, “Moon”, and “Ultra” are important words now, so it makes sense that they’d be used again. We can’t forget that they also mentioned “Eclipse” as a possible word (which makes sense, because of sun/moon). They even mention that the games could be “Eclipse Sun”, “Eclipse Moon”, and “Ultra Eclipse”. That information is wrong. Could it be that they purposefully included false information? Sure but that kind of seems like an ad hoc argument now. Also note that they incorrectly gave the release dates and announcement date.
Just be careful of seeing information that may have, by chance, happened to be true and assuming that the rest is true as well.
Of course we cannot assume this to be true, but they got the name right or at least closer than most, also the fact that the press release accidentally had Switch TBA release date might mean someone got confused and added that since they knew eclipse would be on the switch. Could of just been an accident but you never know.
April 29th btw not May my bad
Excuse me, but man, even the USUM MC has better luck at finding a Nintendo Switch then most. Also #RiPWiiU 2013-2017.

I really don’t think these games deserve any hate at the current moment. We know what they’re intended to be, an Emerald/Platinum 3rd version…or in this case versions. People adore those games. The real hope is hinging on the content these games will provide. And it being on 3DS is fine. I love the Switch, but before the Switch the 3DS was my favorite Nintendo system. It’s obviously not a dead system. I would’ve preferred it on the Switch admittedly, but the games don’t deserve hate for that reason.
People are hating on it because NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE HELL THESE GAMES ARE
People wanted two things. Either Stars or DP remakes.
THEN THEY GIVE US STARS BUT JUST KIDDING ITS TWO GAMES AND THEY ARE AN ENHANCED VERSION INSTEAD OF SEQUELS OR MAYBE THEY ARE SEQUELS… I DONT KNOW FUCK YOU HERE IS A FIGHTING GAME
Stars was always rumored to be a 3rd version of Sun and Moon tho, an enhanced version on Switch. These are the enhanced versions, only they are on 3DS.
Then what’s the point of any of it? Why are there two of them?
Because 2 games sell better.
fuck
Stars?
Isn’t this exactly what stars would be?
I dont know would it? I dont know what these games are
These games are Emerald/Platinum for Alola. It’s what Stars was rumored to be, a 3rd version. The trailer even states it’s an alterate take on the Sun and Moon story.
Is it? Then why are there two games other than to make money?
To make money is the only reason they need though?
Star they’re a business not a fairy godmother
Probably because like BW2, the stories of Sun and Moon kind of dictate there needing to be 2 versions. Lillie didn’t have 2 Cosmog, she had one.
They’re the third version that we always got,the third versions you wanted with Z,the third version you were hyping up anf callings stars split into two to make more money…
I know I’m with you I’m waiting to see whats new to really say anything I’m just hype for the games. Also I am disappointed they won’t be on the Switch because I could just imagine how much stuff the can put on it I mean look how big BotW was so just think how many regions they could of put in one game
Pink Diamond was actually shattered by Game Freak along with her pearl
Lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD_ag67tH3I
I think the thing I’m most disappointed a out is the idea that they dropped 3rd versions specifically because they weren’t necessary anymore (if ever) and NOW they choose to go back to that kind of game? I would much prefer a game with an original story. I really like Alola Sonic don’t mind going back, but I’d rather play something new than just rehash something I’ve done before.
*so I* not Sonic lol
We still have an alolan Sonic

Why would you ever play G/S over HGSS though you can play it on the 3ds. Put it on Switch
GSC will be cheaper and easier to buy now because HGSS is either 7 or 6 depending on where you live
I’ve actually been playing through HG xD
Tbh all the salt reminds me of BW2
which one would you prefer:
1 USUM being a sequel with everybody grown up, with legendary forms as only new pokemon
2 USUM being a remake with many changes (kukui and guzma switching roles, lillie and gladion switching roles) with new alolan forms and pokemon
I’d prefer development over ransom bullshit switches tbh
SEQUEL. THIRD VERSIONS SHOULD DIE.
I don’t care much for the new formes and all that jazz, but I’d prefer it to be a sequel more than anything.
111111111111111111111111111111111111111
2 is so unnecessary
But 2 is probably what we’ll get. And I think it could actually be very fun.
but WHYYYY
like.. why?? what does that add?
…
…
…
…new mons and alola forms.
No I mean switching characters. What is the point?
Having fun. And getting to know Gladion or Lusamine or Wicke or Plumeria, or any of the “mysterious” group of characters.
Didn’t you love Platinum? What do you mean what does it add?
?????????
Platinum didnt make Cyrus the professor and Rowan the evil leader. It fixed the game, came out TWO years after DP so it makes more sense to have a new version, at least more than 8 months. Battle Frontier, better dex, better pacing, better battles, better story, everything was better but it was ONE GAME.
What the hell is this?
Seriously though? An year after the original you give us an enhanced version.
People shit on cod but this is wayy worse
It’s not what we’ll ‘probably get’ though? Most characters will likely maintain the roles, the story will just likely change due to Necrozma
Character development please
2 is what everyone was so hyped about in Stars.
I just want a game with post-game content tbh.
Am I the only one that’s excited for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon? I know a lot of people in the official Pokemon YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook feeds as well as on Serebii are really salty about this because it wasn’t a game for the Switch or it wasn’t Diamond and Pearl Remakes. So, I would like opinions on here from the community. I think people are confused because Junichi Masuda said it would be an “alternative storyline in the same world as Sun and Moon” thinking that it’s just going to be a third version like Platinum/Emerald. What he said doesn’t mean that it can’t still be a sequel like B2/W2, just taking place in Alola. After all, we have Necrozma fusing with Solgaleo and Lunala much like Black and White Kyurem in B2/W2.
When are the people on serebii not salty lol
Also I’m hyped asf
I know right? I don’t even know why I bother looking at such toxic comments.
I think it’s specifically the use of “alternative” that’s throwing people off. If it were a sequel, then why not use “new” or “brand new” instead?
I am a little bit confused still but feel that this will be a lot different from Sun and Moon from what I saw in the 20 seconds of footage in the trailer, there were some little details here and there that I could spot. I think that these games have the potential to be just as great as any other main series title. People just need to give it some time. I’m sure we’ll get more clarity from either E3 or CoroCoro and then some people who were salty will start to get happy again. At least I hope that is the case.
Exactly. Not enough has really been shown to declare that they’re going to be bad or anything. For instance, imagine if Platinum had been revealed but only showing the very minor enhancements (towns, gyms, etc.), but nothing of the entirely new distortion world and Giratina Origin Forme storyline. You’d think that the games would be quite lacking, right? We could be experiencing something similar here.
I’m excited for it, this game could add new features, better post game and new areas and Pokemons making it a great game!
I saw a lot of things changed around in Alola in the small bit of footage that we received, I think that this also potential to be a great game, I just think people need to give it a chance. After all, we only saw 20 seconds of footage. We barely know anything about the games. I hate it when people jump to conclusions thinking that the games are going to be terrible when we barely know anything! It really grinds my Klinks if you know what I mean. Lol.
Listen guys.. I want either
One enhanced port
One Sequel
Two sequel games.
NOT TWO ENHANCED PORTS
the more i think about it the more i think about it. E3 needs to reveal actual information
It’s the same thing tho, just different Pokemon.
We don’t know yet.
I’m talking about version differences.
*new pokemon
I mean why does the number of enhancements matter? If you only buy one, you only get one anyway.
Also they’re not ports?
Because the third version is supposed to tie them together. You dont see Ultra Gold or Ultra Silver. Its one game. But this is so clearly a cash grab
Star why wouldn’t they grab cash? They’re a business ffs
I dont know maybe because they dont want to piss off the fans that give them money?
Lol they’re going to get money anyway
You’re all bitching anyway and you’ll all end up buying at least one version anyway ?
That’s true.
That lunala looks cool :l
And liked the original sumo a lot :/
I think I might skip it unless they show what it is and have some things worth paying 40 dollars for
See?
Look at the stories tho. We’re gonna go through the Nebby in the bag thing again, Lillie had 2 Nebbys?
Change the story then! Or make it a sequel
But this is what Stars was always rumored to be lol.
But they’re doing that in these games?
HOW DO WE KNOW? THEY DIDNT TELL US ANYTHING?
Thats my point. This reveal trailer is terrible. We dont know what this is so of course I’m disappointed.
They did. They said it’s an alternate take on Sun and Moon’s story.
So whats the point of making it two versions????
I’ve already explained this.
$$$$
You aren’t forced to buy both versions. It’s going to be the same story in both versions, but feature different Pokemon, like the majority of Pokemon games.
This
Because it’s a teaser not a trailer
If it was an enhanced port on the switch I would take it.
But when it’s an year after the original you give us the same thing it should not be acceptable.
Pokémon’s being doing this shit for years lol
Why people only bitching about it now?
Cuz they stopped.
Gen V had sequels.
Gen VI had nothing
And? Most people didn’t mind before Gen V and some were actually disappointed by the lack of Grey and Z
I don’t care about most people.
I loved b2w2, I wanted X2y2,and I wanted sumo 2
Too bad kiddo you don’t always get what you want
Exactly. This is really shitty of them to do this. It almost feels like they are intentionally leaving out features so they can put them in the new version
Ports? And this seems like an hybrid between the first and the third option
I wonder if Ryuki will play more a role in this game. He was such an intriguing challenger.
I think he’s a teaser for the next region tbh 😡
That’d be cool
Even if I’m disappointed and the reception is negative, these games are probably gonna be way better than any other pokemon 3ds game.
AGREED!!
Or any for a while imo
Why are yall bitching about cash grabs and enhancements now? They’ve been doing it for years lol
Because the Pokemon fanbase is the pokemon fanbase
I’m just hyped
And we make fun of the sonic fandom lol
I mean they’re a special type of bad
It practically started since Crystal
Actually its been happening since Blue in Japan
Even sooner…
Platinum: one of the most liked games in the series, held as a major improvement over Diamond and Pearl, etc
USUM: Fucken cash grab this is immoral wrrrry
It’s honestly hilarious XD
And to think emerald gets similar reaction
Emerald is literally even more similar to its base game than Platinum and people still sick its digital dick
I’ll be honest, I’m a nostalgic for gen 3 but even I can see the stupidity of it
USUM are the most hype I’ve been for a Pokemon game in years and I refuse to think that they’ll be anything but amazing
They’ll be objectively ‘good’ games anyway, all Pokémon games have been.
And a third version of a game that had a rather decent first game would be even better
I mean, SM were better than vanilla DP right?
Its two games a year after the original came out and they are showing nothing to prove us otherwise.
They stopped doing that third version stuff too. Platinum was fine because Diamond and Pearl was SO flawed. It also added SO MUCH CONTENT its fine and it was a single game so you didnt have to buy two of them. But they stopped and we got B2W2 which was an entirely new game. As much as I dont like the story, that game is amazing
SuMo are flawed too though?
And third versions probably stopped because they were rushed. They said they wanted to give DS a last huzzah and thus BW2 over Gray, and Z could’ve delayed the anniversary.
And ffs star, trading is easier than ever. No ones forcing you to buy both games, and you’ve seen twenty seconds of it. We don’t know Jack shit about how much content is being added
Honestly scratching my head over this. Emerald and Platinum are beloved. And if USUM has the content those 2 games provided, I’ll be overjoyed.
Exactly
The hate is because people were expecting a remake of one of the most liked games in the series that held as a major improvement over Diamond and Pearl
A remake of platinum
Not of DPSS
I was describing Platinum .-.
I know
AND I SAID SOUL SILVER TOO PLEASE KILL ME
K you asked for it

So was that Wingull following the protag or did it just happen to make every turn he did when he did it…?
Ya know I was so hyped for these games and they actually cheered me up even though I felt like actual shit…..
So much for that..
Necrozmaleomoniger Zero looks pretty cool I guess. Necrozmas Lunaala projection or whatever not so much.
I’ve only ever bought one ‘3rd game’ and that was white 2. My feeling for this is we’re gonna need a significant amount to justify it. At least 40 new ‘mon and/or alolan forms would be nice but I’ll not get my hopes up. Probably won’t be new Megas. New Z-moves will likely be underwhelming. Still ,like a mug I’ll probably buy it.
Me all day today:
