  5. Ok so based on the very brief look of the 1st hour of the game it seems like there are some cool changes they’ve made to the game. It’s like they made very specific changes that aren’t just them shoehorning extra parts in. They completely re organize stuff. Should be super cool to see how the rest of the games are changed.

  12. Watches the video, finds out that Kukui doesn’t barge into your house after ringing the doorbell, which means there is less Kukui screentime in the first hour. Cancels USUM preorder.

    • Omg I love these videos. There aren’t many videos on YouTube that legitimately make me laugh hard. This guys videos are some of them lol

  14. Ok so what have all you guys pre ordered?

    For me,I had a real hard time choosing but I picked Ultra Sun as I prefer the vers.exclusive legendary mons but I REALLY wanted UM as well!

    Reply

          • Yeah that’s the thing about Pokemon games. They’ll never ever sell out everywhere. There’s really now point in preording, but it can be part of the fun I guess to do so.

          • Ok, but that’s different. that has nothing to do with being able to get the games and more about wanting to get it cheaper. It just happens that you have to preorder to get the discount

          • I’m just saying, preorder bonuses should be done away with, and instead replaced with discounts. I’m not sure if that really solves the problem tho

          • True. I tend to take advantage of amazon prime being the lazy 21st century gamer I am!
            Yeah that’s cool. Hope you enjoy it

    • I’m still on the fence. I kind of want to play UM since I played Sun, but at the same time I want to play a game that has the same time as real life is. Where day is day and night is night. I just don’t know.

      Reply

      • I played Sun but I wanted UM just because I like the night sky theme it has ans I’ve already experienced the Sun.
        However I always will prefer Ho oh, Heatran and Primal groudon as I don’t have OR at the moment! Thats whay swayed me to US

    • I haven’t actually preordered either of them-despite proclaiming that I was going to cancel them multiple times this pre-release season. One of my parents is getting on the day it releases-late birthday present-and I will be able to play it the next day after I fly over. I will be getting the other version later in the Thanksgiving Break week as a gift from another family member. I will probably be getting US first and will get UM later.

      Reply

        • Yea. I will probably have to start UM some point during Thanksgiving Break just to get the Rockruff that can evolve into its Dusk form. If I am following the same pattern as last time with SM, I won’t be play UM until next summer-well past the time that Rockruff is available.

  17. Part of me really wants to preorder all 4 BotW champion amiibos…and part of me is thinking I should get the only 2 good ones, aka Urbosa and Daruk and save money.

  21. So it seems the reason the Ultra Recon show up at the festival is because something relating to z powers is there.
