What do you think? Were you hoping for a Switch title or are you happy these are on the Nintendo 3DS?
Heyyyy Guys, you know what I realized, we didnt have a single 3rd version in 6th generation. 3rd versions are always the better versions! Think of all the 3rd version mechanics that may return!!
– Challenge Mode
-Battle Frontier
– Move Tutors
– Improved move animations
– Medal system
– Improved Pokemon movesets
-Old Pokemon coming in.
Ok. Now Im getting a little hyped
WOO
Move tutors excite me the most
EXACTLY
What if it has Sinnoh’s Battle Frontier ?
Why are there complaints about US and UM being on the 3DS? They are main Pokemon games, and every main game is on a handheld system! Everybody getting hyped up for ‘Stars’ have no one to blame but themselves and whoever started the rumours. I love the alternate timeline idea, and the new Solgaleo and Lunala look badass!!
It’s a 6 year old console which could barely run SuMo.
HD Pokemon, on the big screen is still nothing more than a dream. It’s 2017 and Pokemon needs to get with the times.
The handheld part is redundant now because switch is a handheld as well.
The real reason is it’s simply easier to reuse assets of Sun and moon
I agree with Armaggedon16 and nowadays with Internet and WiFi, the handheld-only argument for the Pokemon franchise it´s just an excuse.
I’m guessing you don’t have a switch and didn’t know that it can do something called “handheld mode”
But yeah let some keep doubting the switch and it’s portability all because we don’t own one personally.
“Handheld”. The Switch could do it as well. I’m sick of the “Pokemon only on handheld argument”. It’s time to leave the 240p screen of the 3DS, to the 720p screen on the Switch. Moving US/UM to the Switch isn’t an arduous task. Is a Pokemon game with better performance and graphics something negative to want?
They’re Gen 7 Still, so it makes sense for them to be on the 3DS, people thinking otherwise are kidding themselves.
Like B2/W2 were DS.
Gen 8 is another matter, the question there is, will they Move to the Switch, or will they introduce the 3DS’s sucessor?
However what no one is realising, that there’s still the possibility of a Colosseum styled game on the Switch.
I mean, the Switch is like $300 without anything extra. Example: you have 2 kids and you want to get one Sun and the other Moon for Christmas. The Switch is the family living room console. Pokemon trading and battling locally are important parts of the Pokemon idea. The social aspect i.e., why they make 2 versions of the same game.
You have one Switch, but two games, and unless you want to cough up another $300, your two kids can’t trade with each other or play at the same time. BUT if they each have an $80 2DS, you won’t feel as bad when the little buggers break them. Because you can still be playing Breath of the Wild in the living room, not trying to replace a Switch that you trusted an 8 year-old to carry around safely
So U-Lunala looks fine in my opinion. I think the crystal parts from Necrozma look neat on it, but like the arms seem off.
Gym hints from Su/Mo?

It would be a cool idea to have the trials and then after the trial is done the captain can say “you’ve completed my trial but the real test is fighting against the gym leader.” Shouldnt be hard to make gym leaders have corresponding types to the trial captains/z-crystals
Plot twist: Hau secretly buys them all and builds malasada shops on every lot.
Bye
(Jigglypuff, bewear and politoed are the best pkmn)
Bye, hope you have a good game/life/etc if you don’t come back?
I just realised
Necrozma’s ability is Prism Armour
And now it’s literally armour
It all comes together?
It all comes together
Damn we could’ve known it the entire time
They could potentially use the key system from BW to B2W2 with SM to these games. I hope they do. Also that link (cant remember the actual name) where you could use the data from BW to add story elements/features to B2W2. For example catching N’s pokemon.
Or just have a normal difficulty selection like a every other rpg?
But that’s too sensible for Gf
Pokemon has never been like every other RPG.
That’s not a bad thing but is implementing a simple easy, Medium,hard difficulty selection at the beginning that hard?
No but Pokemon has gotten along fine without it.
The real fun is creating your own difficulty.
Have team of only caterpie, weedle and magikarp
I beat Sun with just a Dunsparce. And many Full Restores.
Difficulty keys should’ve been a available from the beginning of the game if they wanted to do the version exclusive bs tbh
oh man don’t get me started on the difficulty thing, Pokemon games are too easy now
No they aren’t.
Tbf i think the main reasons older pokemon games were hard was because a lot the mechanics were broken. Or limited amount of good moves if you wanted to use certain pokemon
I think Gens 1-2 were more difficult due to weird mechanics tbh and if you dont keep Exp. share on in SuMo I’d say it’s closer to Gen 4-5 in difficulty
Ultra Lunala looks like an Ice-Type imo
More Ice types in Alola?
yeah more than the only new ice type Pokemon in fricking Alola
We also had Alola Sandshrew and Vulpix lines.
Then again, there’s always been a laughably small amount of Ice types in every region.
it’s really sad that we’ve only gotten 3 ice type lines in the past 2 gens, Ice type is one of my favorite types
Thinking back, I think there’s usually just 3 ice type lines per region. Just look at Glacia’s team.
Like an Ice type UB, that’d be cool
What if they can change types similar to Primal Groudon?
Maybe it is •_•
I think it’s more of a phantasm look than ice. It is a Ghost-type, after all.
I like how these shield looks solid and transparent at the same time ……I just want to know how to do that on Maya…all pics with high resloution. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1496760659465.jpg
irony, I guess?
Wat is it?
Look at lowlit
I bet we will meet lillie again, maybe she comes back from Kanto
Your username reminds me that I need to get Fire Emblem Echoes.
Looks so good.
no lol, this is just a retelling of sun and moon’s story. we’ll see lillie again, but she won’t be returning from Kanto
Assuming its the same pokemon avialable, Whats your tea gonna be?
Torracat
Bruxish
Lurantis
Golem
Dugtrio
Raticate
I hope they add more alolan forms
I already used up a Litten team and a Popplio team, so…
Rowlet
Turtonator
Grimer
Dewpider
Jangmo-o
Mudbray
I might switch one of them out for a Cutiefly.
Why? There will be new Pokemon..
Untra Sun:
Incineroar
Crabrawler
Toucannon
Dhelmise
Komala
Lycanroc (Midday)
Utlra Moon:
Decidueye or Primarina (gotta see how I like Primarina cause I just restarted my Moon version with Popplio as mu starter)
Ninetales (Alola Form)
Bewear
Lurantis/Wishiwashi (depending on starter)
Drampa
Oricorio (Baile Style)
I hope that we get more evolutions for Pokemon, like Drampa, Tortunator, Togedemaru, Oranguru, Dhelmise….
Maybe work in Alola Raichu in the Ultra Sun team…
the necrozma +lonala ad solgaleo looks crapy imo…but I hope that the games take place few yeas after sun and moon
it’s unfortunately not gonna take place after sun and moon. it’s just gonna be a retelling and revamp of sun and moon’s story
As much as I wanna use Prim…. I gotta go Deci again… it feels right to me
Okay, first of all, no DP remakes. Fuuuuuuuuck! Now, with that out of the way…
You know. Initially, I thought these were Solgaleo/Lunala forms with Necrozma attached, which made me disappointed cause I want Necrozma forms, not Solgaleo & Lunala with pieces of it attached to them. But after seeing a comment online, I now think these are indeed Necrozma forms. Seeing as they show Solgaleo and Lunala in their Rising Sun and Full Moon phases respectively, in a seemingly permanent state, I think these forms are Necrozma using Light projections (since it absorbs light) of Solgaleo and Lunala, with the form depending on if it absorbs sun light or moon light. How this will work in game, I’m not sure, but it could draw energy from Solgaleo and Lunala themselves to achieve the transformations. There will be most certainly a key item though like the DNA Splicers for Kyurem.
As for the games themselves. I don’t like the fact that we’ll have to go through Alola again, as I don’t like the region that much. I hope they expand it somehow. And please, if these are anything like B2W2 as they seem they are, just put a bunch of post-game content, bring in the move tutors, at least.
Dam it I still want want Necrozma forms.
Hmmmm if we get more Alola Forms/New Pokemon then I’m totally down.
I like it when new Pokemon come
I wonder y Necrozma Armor attached while they in Radiant and Full Phase?…..is it an art issue I mean they just went to fit the color or there’s something deeper behind this? https://res.cloudinary.com/lmn/image/upload/e_sharpen:150,f_auto,fl_lossy,q_80/v1/gameskinnyc/s/o/l/solgaleo-lunala-website-screenshot-63a6f.png
possibly it was their original forms when they came throught the wormhole, solgaleo and lunala are technically UB’s afterall
Hey everyone. It’s me, I’m back after a long hiatus.
The Pokemon crave is hitting me again.
Anyone remember me??
It’s been quite a while..!
Ready to see riddler posts again.
All I want for Sun and moon ultra is an online function built in the rotom dex instead of the plaza again.
I agree I hope PSS makes a return. Festival Plaza is horrible killed the game for me.
I’m pretty excited about US and UM despite it not what I was expecting, at least we’re getting new Pokemon games. And I’m pretty sure there’ll be new Pokemon in this game, at least that’s what i’ve read. I just hope that either there’ll be new gyms, or at least completely brand new Trial captains and a completely different villain.
I am happy as long as this is an extended storyline to Sun And Moon. I hope the Champion of the Alola Region is Lillie. It would be cool to see how she would turn from a timid girl who dislikes Pokémon battles to a fierce and intense Pokémon Trainer!
Lies! I’M the Champion of the Alola Region. Professor Kukui said so! XD
Naw, but really, it’d be awesome to see Lillie again.
You realize they said in the direct that its an alternate version of Sun and Moon. ‘These titles offer an alternate story taking place in the same world’ – Masuda
Its not going to be like Black 2 and White 2 where it takes place 2 years later.
Although, its a cool idea…
Okay, the two main things I’d like from this game:
1. We find out why the hell Lillie & Gladion’s dad Mohn is hanging out at Poke Pelago since he discovered the wormholes and his wife went insane and got possessed by a space jellyfish and almost killed a bunch of things and he’s like “I love rainbow Pokebeans!”
2. They do something with those walking / running pokemon animations they datamined in SM so we can have the pokemon friggin’ follow us. Please.
i hope to see first some new pokemon maybe, id especially love to see more UB’s some new alolan forms. but most of all id like it if gen 7 pokemon, especially the water pokes, werent so rare, and a little less gen 1 sword swallowing in the wild pokemon list
I’ve heard this is an alternate timeline, but I can’t find the source
I’ll admit to being a tad apprehensive. The main game just came out last November and I’m still trying to beat the Battle tree and win the mega stone prizes.
On the other hand, this could be a fun continuation. We’ll see Lillie again, perhaps reunite the Aether family. Maybe Hau followed in Hala’s footsteps and became a captain or kahuna.
