What do you think? Were you hoping for a Switch title or are you happy these are on the Nintendo 3DS?
HYPE!!!!!!!!!
God dammit, why? the 3ds can’t handle the new Pokemon games,the fps is so bad, and now they’re adding more to Sun and Moon? just give us a main pokemon game on the switch and i would prefer it to be Gen 4 remakes because after playing Sun and Moon i haven’t touched the game
The new 3ds can handle them though, this is probably why they are coming out with the new 2ds xl so that people can get a cheaper version. I agree though, I wanted to come to the switch
Ah yes, screw Mega Evolution. Hello Ultra Evolution.
Although both Lunala and Solgaleo looks kind of bad in these supposed ‘Ultra’ Formes.
WHATWHATWHATWHAT?!?!?!?!!
NINTENDO JUST TROLLED US SO FREAKING HARD, AND I LOVE THEM FOR IT!!!!!!
And then…..I HEARD THAT GLORIOUS GSC THEME MUSIC, AND I LOST MY EVER LOVING ****!!!!!
Wait, so when they say “Pokemon that didn’t appear in SM” do they mean new Pokemon or old ones not in the dex?
Most likely the latter. Its just an enhanced port. Think Pokemon Emerald or Platinum. An improved version of the game, now split between two versions. Genius!
It’s a new story, so it’s more like BW2.
But it’s not a direct sequel. It’s supposedly at alternate version of the story.
Has it been said though its a new story? They said “Alternate Story” implying again something closer to those games, but events being slightly different. So we should still expect Team Skull, team Aether and Cyrus-light to be our villains, as well as crappy trials and the such.
They said it’s an alternate story, so it’s more in line with Emerald and Platinum. Not sequels.
No clue, but I am hoping new pokemon, that would things more exciting
And with that all interest in the mainline of pokemon dies for another year. Screw this crap. But glad to see Pokken getting a much needed port, and everyone’s favorite new starter is joining the roster.
YES THIS IS FANTASTIC NEW MAIN GAMES AND GOLD AND SILVER RERELEASE??? Nintendo I love you so much. Now if only you’d give us a little more than the tease there will be an alternate story 😉
WTF?! NECROZMA IS ACTUALLY ARMOR FOR SOLGALEO AND LUNALA?!
That’s disgusting.
Finally the Stars rumours can die.
Anyway what I can guess from this is, New alola forms for Gen 2 Pokemon, and Necrozma merges with Lunala and Solgaleo. Kinda like a Third Version/Sequel hybrid, vibes of B2/W2.
Also is everything being ported to the switch from the Wii U?
At this point it feels like all the good games from the Wii U will either be ported or given a sequel on the Switch. :/
It’s good and bad.
Good cause they’re good games and people didn’t get a wii u and can enjoy them on the Switch.
Bad cause it’s annoying now I feel I’m missing out if I don’t get the updated ports of them all but at the same time outside of Main Pokemon I don’t like having the same game more than once.
I wouldn’t call death to the Stars rumour just yet. We still got E3, which is entirely focused on the Switch! Nintendo is porting a ton of stuff! If makes sense because the Wii U had such a small install base.
Necrozma fused solgaleo and lunala that actually SUCK!
They can’t afford to make enhanced ports for a game on an entirely new console halfway through the generation. I reckon the next gen will be on the switch.
But the switch is easyyyyyy to port games on! Lol
If it was, they would’ve killed the 3ds and made the switch backwards compatible considering the game hardware is nearly the same. Clearly they want to keep the 3ds alive and separate from the switch for some reason.
Post-game content or no buy for me.
I’m not gonna go that far, but I would’ve rather had them have a similar main story to SM and just focus all their efforts on the extra stuff.
My thoughts exactly. I think it’s a poor choice for them to try and make updated SuMo on the same console especially when the previous games struggled to run as they were.
It’s mentioned that the game story is in alternate universe. It’s definitely not the post game however it will be different
It’s gonna be Emerald/Platinum in terms of a story rehash. Same general story, with Necrozma thrown in and other differences. Emerald and Platinum were great for their post-game content on top of the story differences. Will wait and see if the same holds true for US and UM. GameFreak is 0 for 3 so far with 3DS games content wise, so I’m not holding my breath.
I know I shouldn’t be holding out hope for this, but what if they announce a Switch port of Ultra SM at E3 so they can talk about it during the spotlight? I wasn’t expecting a switch game, but I’m still a little dissapointed that it’s gonna still be on the 3DS. Especially since they sorta trolled us at the beginning.
Its not going to happen Ith. Its still too soon. From a business perspective this is the right move for them. And of course that’s ignoring the debate that we’ve had many times that the Switch isn’t a very good handheld and it could be entirely possible that their holding off for Nintendo to release a proper handheld before continuing development.
I really hope that there will be a port to the switch
I’m honestly so hyped about shiny hunting in Gold and Silver VC that this stuff is just extra 😛
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
MY CHILDHOOD IS BAAAAACK!!!!
SHINY HUNTING HERE I COME!!!!
i said yesterday on discord that if next main game is on 3ds and not switch and related to sun and moon i may not buy. rip me. trying not to be annoyed but 1) fusion again? cuz clearly thats necrozma on sol and luna. 2) i have no interest playing my 3ds. 3) couldnt think of a better name than ultra? the way the logo looks with the word “ultra” on it literally looks like bad photoshopping
Oh yeah, the logos look really choppy
honestly its hard to look at sol with necrozma…its like smiling and that looks like bad photoshopping too
Ultra cause of ultra beats or has everyone conveniently forgotten them x)
i guess
Yeah. Or even Eclipse. But hey, everyone thought black 2 white 2 was a cop out name but their story was great.
at least the logo looked good with 2. and 2 screams sequel. ultra screams just additions. not saying it wont be a sequel but the logo is bad, and solgaleo smiling is sorta scaring me
stars sounds better tho.
please megas
Interesting! Ultra S/M seem like an improvement to S/M. We’ll obviously get a trailer at E3! I still feel like a Switch announcement is concerning these games!
The thing is, the spotlight at E3 is focusing solely on Switch games, so if they want to transition well into a trailer, they’d have to announce a Switch version. But then again, they did SM stuff at the BotW-only E3.
New pokemon for usum? How many?
So i guess we’re getting ultra pokemon forms now….this gives me a reason to pick up my 3ds again :/
Necrozma gets a game before Zygarde 🙁
*necrozma’s severed body parts
lol
He got nothing but humiliation.
Imagine (And it won’t happen but imagine)
Imagine, that they had 2 forms, one that resembles Necrozma, and one that Resembles Zygarde
We now have the Eclipse version. And the sequel versions on 3DS was more than expected. Its B2/W2 all over again.
Actually what if Necrozma doesn’t fuse. It would seem a bit repetitive after B2/W2, but what if, instead, those are new forms they change into under the Influence of Necrozma or something like that, it would be new.
Oh look I started speculating like I said I wouldn’t…..
Usum or Ultra sm
Ultra USUM
People failed to realize that Gamefreak will not released one version like emerald or platinum back then. It has to be combo just like b2w2. Pokemon star is just a star. Hello USUM
They intentionally made things vague about the new Pokemon. It doesn’t really give a clear indication whether or not it’s brand-new Pokemon or just some which weren’t in the Alola Pokedex before. Sneaky…
didnt they say like pokemon not in sun and moon? sorta sounds like more alolan pokemon which isnt too exciting
