Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon

[SlowPokemon]

This was hilariously out of left field???

Tbh it feels like they're trying to end the Sun and Moon gen early because they're going to move to Switch after that. But idk if the game is cool enough then I'll be okay with it.

Shoot. This means I'll have to actually plan Sun soon :S + Ultra Sun/Moon sound pretty stupid. At least B2/W2 was acceptable.

[SlowPokemon]

I think you shouldn't be so quick to judge it. It looked pretty cool and the originals were great games. Personally I'm just glad this isn't Pokémon Stars or whatever the popular choice was because I didn't understand why people wanted a straight rerelease

Also from the title seems like the Ultra Beasts will play a bigger role this time?

How stupid a title sounds isn't really much of a judgement haha.

But it makes a lot of sense now that you point that out (not that I know what Ultra Beasts are, I've just heard of them).

B2/W2 made sense, they had slightly better animations from the previous one and the plot had a great storyline.

i was actually hoping to see a remake made for the switch? you know, because its literally a handheld console? the fact that ultra sun/moon was added to end of the direct, AFTER pokken tournament, felt like an afterthought and kinda pisses me off. like i get that they were trying to promote pokken, but c'mon. nintendo's main series is arguably their best seller, they could have totally sold it if they had started off with introducing us to US/UM
but overall i guess it shouldn't be too bad. the trailer was cute, and i'm kinda interested to see how they lead with the ultra beasts this time around
_{god i can't wait for more excruciating long tutorials...}

OH sorry, you meant just the titles. That wasn't really clear ahaha

Nintendo Life is reporting that the games have an "alternate storyline" so as long as they throw in some new areas, actually give us an entire Pokédex this time, and streamline a few of the messier features (like Festival Plaza) I'll be happy with this. That's basically what B2W2 did too, people overlook the fact that 70% of B2W2 is the same as the original BW.

Double post, but suddenly with the advent of the fusion between Solgaleo / Lunala and Necrozma, Colress being in Alola doesn't seem so bizarre. Since he was a big part of the Kyurem fusions from B2W2.

I'm excited for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon!
If they are indeed the last main series Pokemon games for the 3ds, it will be a nice note for them to end on.
Probably going to get Ultra Sun though, 'cause the Necrozma/Lunala fusion seems more forced than Solgaleo's, granted both seem weird.
Also really excited for the larger Pokedex they're hinting at!

When first seeing the fusions, I immediately thought of Kyurem, but I totally forgot that Colress appeared in S/M for virtually no reason whatsoever. I'm hoping that he has a bigger role this time around, as I've been told he's one of the most interesting/best villains in the series.

Not being sequels makes it sound like a lazy way to rerelease the game for more money though.

[Dudeman]

Yeah, I will say that I'm not entirely confident in going out and getting a second 40-dollar game which is 50% (or more) identical to the first just for some new alternate forms and story content. Heaven knows original Sun/Moon won't be compatible with any new stuff coming out of Ultra, but I'm going to remain optimistic.

deep breath

LILLIE IS COMING BACK???

[close]

[cashwarrior1]

YAYYYYYY And maybe this time she won't leave us for Kanto

[SlowPokemon]

Unpopular opinion: Lillie is annoying at the beginning, kind of okay in the second half, but at no point is she anywhere as good as Hau

as I've been told

GO PLAY GEN 5 ALREADY
