What's Sup Forums honest opinion?
Can we all agree that it was best mainline game since gen4?

Finished last night.
I really like it, probably one of my favorites. Kinda of salty about the ending, but oh well.

but 5th gen was the best

My nigga

Why does the game run like shit? Why are all the new Pokemon so fucking rare? Why does Lillie force you to fight Tapu Koko without saving?

The beginning is SLOW and there's various annoying little things, but other than that I really loved it. I think they may become my favourite games, and that's saying a lot since these are entry games without the superior third/sequel version.

WHY IS EVERY NPC A WALKING "DREAMWORKS FACE"?

Gen 4 has been out done by 5, 6 AND 7. Every gen is better.

You can just kill the Tapu and fight it again later, this is been a feature with all legendaries since gen IV.

Gen VI was great for competitive purposes, but the game itself was very plain.

Playing Sun/Moon just makes me want to play 5th gen even more. Can't believe they still fed us with all these pandering not realizing Gen 5 was a fresh concept because of lack of pandering.

But still Gen 4 and 5 are my favorites

It's worth is just for Skull shenanigans.

Every game is plain. If the only thing you care about is single-player you're been in the wrong franchise.

I loved the game but the "call for help mechanic" was irritating and the game lags like hell in double battles on my new 3ds.

Other than that, I consider this my favorite mainline game. I havent had this much fun with a pokemon game since gen 2.

>I loved the game but the "call for help mechanic" was irritating
I bet this was intentional for people to use the Exp. Share

+great atmosphere/ost
+difficult compared to others in series
+very fleshed out story/characters
+no hms

-gimped to fuck routes/'dungeons'
-no option to skip cutscenes
-ubs actually have very little to do with the main story

solid 8.5/10

Best gen since gen 2

>Consistantly good poke designs
>Cosistantly good character designs

A solid 9.5 out of 10 for me.

Only knocking out .5 for the sub-20fps issues.

>-no option to skip cutscenes
>inb4 pokemon is for kids
there should be an option to skip tutorials, specially the capturing pokemon

Does the story gives anyone else a "paper mario" vibe? Even some of the music is similar to TTYD.

There's something about the muffled singing and hip-hop for Team Skull I really like and I never listen to hip-hop. The mobile tcg I'm playing also has hip-hop for some villains. What is it with hip-hop and villains?

totems are actually challenging as fuck if you don't use Z moves. i usually burn through my whole team and they are mostly slightly above the totems lvl

Damn you're all pathetic.

i like them because its like the japs just found out about 1999 era Eminem. white bread as fuck poke trainers are just stupid silly shit and it makes me smile

Wishiwashi and Mimikyu were probably the hardest ones. People say Lurantis is but eh I had the Fire starter so I guess it was just easier for me.

>Fire starter

GIVE IT THE SUPLEX OH YEAAAAH STEEL CHAIR

I've only fought Raticate so far, but it downed two of my guys because Rattata kept debuffing and using quick attack.

>Crawl under the hedge in that abandoned town
>Get accosted by two female Team Skull members upon exiting it
So much porn potential.
Also it's probably the best mainline Pokemon game for a while. The Totem Pokemon are actual challenges for the most part and force you to actually play strategically. Lillie is annoying as fuck, though and there are WAY too many cutscenes. It's also incredibly bloated to the point that just exiting the game from the 3DS menu practically resets the system. I just wish Gamefreak weren't such incompetent programmers.

I could have sworn I fought a Totem Gumshoos instead of Raticate. Is the Raticate in Moon or something?

Yeah, Totem Ratts are Moon exclusive. None of my mons could learn Brick Break so it didn't went so good.

how do i retrieve my greninja

You gotta talk to Kukui in the demo and then talk to the Delivery Man in Yellow in a Pokemon Center in the game.

I haven't really played a Pokemon game before, so I am just catching all of the pokemon I think are cool, but whenever I go to the habitat that they supposedly inhabit, I encounter the same four pokemon and can never encounter the pokemon I actually fucking want.

I am on Eggecutor island and I just want fucking Castform. Fucking hell. Why can't I get him?

For Castform I think you have to chain SOS calls.

I didnt have the time to play it yet. I'll probably wait for a hack that makes it harder.

With that said, most of the things i heard thus far makes me assume it is going to be good. Is Primeape avaliable before the post-game? It has been my favorite pokemon for a very long time, but i didnt get to use one for quite a while.

Some pokemon have like 5% encounter rates.

So like rolling a D20 over and over till you get that one number that you need.

You can get lucky, or RNGesus can give you the finger. Just depends.

>Trying to get Mareanie
>Only spawns during a Corsola SOS
>Ok that's kind of clever
>Corsola has a 1-5% chance of spawning off a regular fish and 20% on a special fish which is random
Why are the new ones so fucking rare?

But SO many of them seem to have that stupidly low encounter rate. It seems like over half of the pokemon in the game have a 5% encounter rate. Why design a pokemon if no one is going to see them?

I can't believe they've done this. Maybe 4 or 5 pokemon should have a 5% encounter rate, but what the fuck. Half of them are stupidly rare for no reason.

Do the cutscenes ever end? I would't mind them if I was playing in a longer sitting, but shit's annoying when i only have like 20 minutes.

yes it is

Even oras was better

My special demo froze twice, Jewing me out of my Pikachu birthday and ferry promise items.

Can I download a 100%ed demo to CFW, or is there any way past the broken countdown bug?

>Wishiwashi summons Alomomola

ORAS is like the second worst game in the series, followed by S&M. Even X and Y was better and that's some bottom of the barrel tier shit

>+difficult compared to others in series
is it actually? i haven't played since any pokemon games since silver/gold released when i was a youngin - a couple of months ago i played star sapphire and had a blast with how hard it was

i was expecting this to be much easier but on the second island and most trainers are still using 1(and rarely 2) pokemon

does it pick up or should i just wait for a difficulty mod?

>Lurantis summons Castform

Lillie is cute! CUTE!

>no national dex
>only 300 pokemon in the alola dex

Only people who liked it are waifu fags

The Totem Pokemon fights are the only ones that are really hard, but if you have six pokemon and spam items it's not like you can lose.

Still hard compared to other pokemon shit though.

If it's so easy for the main character to get six pokemon, I think it's stupid that no other characters ever have six pokemon.

I have a smoking hot gf who I'm now going to fuck and I'm not a pathetic manchild who plays games for children. So, uh, yeah, I think I'm quite a bit better, virgin.

Almost got it right

Jesus christ why

I'm liking it so far, although I got caught in a loop against a trainer with a ghastly where it used mean look on my munchlax, then kept spamming hypnosis and spite on the only move that would stand a chance of hitting it (metronome). Luckily I had an ether handy, but it was still pretty close. Ended up with 1PP in metronome left. If it had used spite again I would have been fucked.

It's difficult for a Pokemon game.
Compared to literally anything else like SMT or FF its still baby's first RPG though.

It's the only way to get I have no fucking idea.

sure thing buddy, I'm sure you do, as do I. Hell, we all do. Sup Forums, the place for people with hot girlfriends.

I'm literally fucking her while typing this you pathetic loser.

>trying to catch literally anything
>have to fight through waves of his asshole friends for 20 minutes

I fucking hate this mechanic.

>>Started trend of not having actual post game content
B2W2 still has the best post game though

>fucking a single girl while posting on Sup Forums

haha what a waste of space you are. I'm fucking two at the same time

They're great, but the only thing worse than gen 4 is bugged to hell gen 1. And maybe 6. Maybe.

If they remake gen 4 with gen 7 features like ride instead of HMs, a battle engine that isn't slow as molasses, and actually round out the teams of Gym leaders/E4 with fitting pokes, those games would probably be solid.

Bonus points if instead of remakes they're more 'sequels' that explains why they have ride instead, and 'Sinnohn' forms of Alola native Pokemon.

...

you sure convinced me.

You mean that battle tower clone we've had since gen 3 except with more reused assets? Literally the same thing as every other gen.

How's the end game? Is there like a battle frontier?

of course no

It had PWT, White Treehollow, the most Legendaries, and films

So even XY has more

no

yes

You're posting some goddamn risky opinions, OP.
Whether you mean it or you're shitposting though, I agree.

So there's no post game to speak of? It's a no buy then.

no

I'll take enjoying the single player over battling smogon tryhards and rejects any day.

>Doesn't like a few aspects of an otherwise good game
>Thinks that's calling it shitty
Are you mentally handicapped?

>can only carry two pokemon starting out
>unlock more team slots as you progress through the game

There, I fixed the difficulty.

You gotta understand that for the vocal minority on Sup Forums anything that is not perfect is an absolute blunder, just look at all the people freaking out over a glitch on FFXV threads

>i don't play with friends the post

okay loser enjoy a series that has literally never pandered to you. Enjoy your doormat life

how do we feel about the OST

I didn't even say I don't play with friends, but that wasn't really the initial implication now was it.

Tell me I'm not alone in getting reck'd by a NPC trainer with a single karbink

The first island is tutorial hell but still fun. Second and third are great. Fourth is ruined by the lame escort constantly breaking things up, though I guess if you like them a lot you won't care.

Connectivity and aspects related to preparing for competitive are inferior to Gen VI, but otherwise it's a pretty big step up from its low in the main adventures.

Not counting third versions, remakes, numbered sequels, or the Genius Sonority games on GC

2 > 4 > 7 > 6 > 1 > 3 > 5

Well you apparently didn't even consider anything but "battle smogon tryhards and rejects" at the mere thought of multi-player so excuse me if I assume you have no friends.

Is it better or worse than X/Y?

I can't stand the sky high encounter rate and call for help chains. The only good thing to come from this game is how easy it was to get all 3 starters evolved

BF isn't good postgame though.

>battle tower with gimmicks, lol
Wow.

>Cosistantly good character designs

There's not a single unique character design.

>Regional forms were a hit; hope theyre a mainstay

cosmetic

>Mixes up the "town, gym, town, gym, elite 4" formula

not true

>Best Music

compressed trash

>Best evil organization, Team Skull

They don't do anything all game..

>Best girls

fuck off you thirsty manchild

The game is garbage

You're literally never forced to carry more than 1 Pokemon at any time.

i had fun playing through the game but now that i beat the elite 4 im completely bored with it. im not feeling this post game at all. i had more fun with the "cia when" times and all the leaks before the game actually came out.

>tfw ill probably just pkhex a shit ton of shinies and perfect mons wondertrade them all and then shelf the game.

Personally I think it's worse.

Is there still stuff like GTS and Wonder trade. It's a good time-killer.

Personally I think it's better.

Yeah, at least that's still there. You need to load a festival map every time you want to access them for some reason because Game Freak is retarded.

Better singleplayer adventure, worse multiplayer and competitive.
