Why haven't you pre-ordered?

Why haven't you pre-ordered?

Cawadoody of RPGs

wake me up when they remake gen 4

1. Hype really isn't there
2. Pokemon games are never in short supply, so I'll just walk to any store that sells games and pick up a copy
3. Preorder bonuses don't matter

...

Hell yeah, imagine the influx of delicious Dawn porn.

I will now that you can date your Pokedex

Because I'm going to pirate it instead.

pokemon died after gen 2

how

After the disaster that was sun and moon NO NATIONAL DEX FUCK YOU GAMEFREAK why would I preorder this garbage.

...

I like Gen 4 too, but you will be sleeping for a good while my man,

This
Not an issue

This objectively isn't true.

Nostalgiafags is the most cancerous group of people that exist on this board.

i bet you like hg/ss you underage/nostalgiafag in denial fuck you

freeshop lol

because the originals weren't very good

>i bet you like hg/ss
Yeah, becausethe gen two remakes are objectively better than the originals. The only reason someone would say otherwise is because they are a nostalgia faggot like yourself.

i knew it denialfag

>pre-ordering games
>ever

I'm not nostalgic towards Pokémon.
I only started play Pokémon games 4 years ago when the 2DS launched, when I was 17.

>Still haven't hacked his 3DS IN THE FUCKING YEAR 2017.

Come on, preordering? really?

I'll wake you up when they remake DP and leave out all the stuff that Platinum fixed.

Because I can just walk into [gamestore] and buy it on launch? It's not like it's gonna be sold out or something.

>pokemon died after i stopped playing

Here we go again with nostalgiafags. Kill yourself.

I highly doubt that will happen within the next year, especially with Pokemon being put on Switch.

i played until gen 5, nothing beats gen 2

in pokemon, if you have a pet the same level as another one with the same name will it have the same stats or does it vary?

Wrong answer, both are shit and the only way to like them without having shit taste is being blinded by nostalgia.

Depending on the enemies each have fought they'll grow slightly differently, also they likely have different genes.

That's what I thought about ORAS but May redesign didn't generate good stuff at all.

It will have a 10% +/- stat difference depending on a personality trait (unchangeable) and the stats will (adjustable) have variation depending on the Pokemon fought to get to that level.

Because while i found Sun and Moon to be enjoyable, I disliked the framerate dips in battle that they never seemed to fix even after X and Y and hated that the game held your hand and was packed out the ass with shitty cutscenes.

It doesn't help that this isn't even a sequel, but seems to be an "alternate retelling" (aka a fucking rehash) of the same game

They never said Gen 8 is on Switch, they said they're making a core RPG title for it. That could mean a Colosseum-esque game.

liking anything after gen 2 is shit taste

A "core RPG" is a mainline title, sorry to crush your delusions.

Oh, are the Colosseum games considered core? I always grouped them together with the Pokemon Ranger and Mystery Dungeon games. Another Colosseum game would be fucking rad eitherway

because it's piss easy to download legit copies of the game illegally straight from nintendo's servers

minor differences that only autists take seriously

I have the CFW so I can go to the inter net and get myself a copy of a virtual data containing the pokemon game, that I will then play it before OP because I will get it before him and OP is a lover of the homo man in a sexual way.

The games will be shit and I won't pay for shit.

3DSfags in denial are cute

G6 was so fucking heinous is made me hate Gamefreak

The 3DS is near the end of its life cycle and the Switch is a console/handheld hybrid. What makes you seriously think the main series won't be moved to the Switch eventually?

6 was ok, 7 is a turd.

Because it was a shit design. The old one is way better.

G6 was the last straw? After the fucking travesty that was G4?

because he's an idiot

Mass differences. Two level 100 Mewtwos can have a sp.atk difference of just under 200.

I really don't get the hate for G4, nor do I get the lack of hate for G6

Why should I? They haven't made a good Pokemon game since gen 4, so if I'm going to play it I'm going to pirate it.

You didn't play Diamond/Pearl, then.

Mainly the lack of content, chibi graphics, and shitty writing even by Pokemon's standards.

Sun was boring.

2, 4, 7 are the worst gens.

going to pirate it

I only really enjoyed gens 1 through 3.

the worst gens are every gen after gen 2

I did. They were kind of middling, and had as many flaws as they had qualities. But Platinum turned it around and gave us a great Sinnoh game and HGSS were fantastic.

Is this a bad time to buy a 3DS then?

I look forward to the Sinnoh remakes to ignore all of Platinum's improvements including the god awful writing in D/P. If they're going to do that, they should at least have Cyrus make some barrier to keep the pixies away if he's going to let you free them then only summon one dragon.

super mega ultra bad

Gen 2 is a piece of shit, with the most forgettable pokemons in existence, as for the record most people believe that skarmory, slugma and corsola are gen 3.

Sounds like my luck then. Bought a WiiU at the end of 2015 and used it like 3 times, and there's the fact I bought a Vita at all.
I should just quit gaming.

It's always good to buy a platform near the end of its life because you it's cheap and you have plenty of options to choose from.

>(probably) whole line of models out, for every pricing or feature concern
>near full library of games since it's late in life
>still getting releases and localized titles
>can play the entire DS library already
>easily hacked if you want to do that for playing almost anything else like NES, GBA, etc.
There's never been a better time to buy one.

well, they wrong, and gen 2 is the best

Get one with a hackable firmware or that is already hacked.

Gen 4 had the physical special split to save it

>and had as many flaws as they had qualities.
The whole game being slow as fucking molasses, two hour saving times, and a dogshit regional dex is not merely a fucking flaw.

The third version should be an update, not the only playable version of the game.

How much does it change from regular sun/moon? Bigger main game and new mons?

I hate Fairy type and Z-moves (and a good portion of the mega evolutions). Gen 4 remakes will likely be my last Pokemon games ever.

...

>pre-ordering a cut-scene simulator
No thanks.

Preordered this a month ago and am picking it up this weekend.
Haven't really played Nintendo since N64, with the exception of

Basically
What we know
>Ultra Megalopolis
>wormhole riding for hunting down UBs in their own worlds
>3 new Pokemon
>surfing on mantine
>a new beach I guess?
>some new characters
that's it so far

I'm not saying DP were good or arguing that they're acceptable because they were eventually fixed, I'm just glad they were eventually fixed with Platinum.

XY and ORAS are never getting fixed.

XY won't be fixed, but at least XY wasn't as offensively bad as DP was.

You essentially gain more in a stat for the highest stat of every Pokemon your Pokemon defeats.

Think of it this way: beat up a bunch of macho fighting types, and you'll gain mostly in attack and defense. Fight a bunch of ghosts and psychics? You'll be swimming in special attack and special defense. Fast Pokemon almost always give speed, but sometimes also give attack and special attack.

It can make a huge difference in the later levels, and for competitive battling, but for regular playthroughs, you won't notice much of a difference.

Sounds like ass, I hope that they fix the ridiculous amounts of lag.

>Handheld/Console Hybrid
>Still looking for it's niche game outside of BoTW
>Implying gamefreak isn't going to jump on the Idea of Switch Pokemon when all their 3DS games have failed worse than previous entries because of limitations of hardware keeping them from adding everything they wanted to.

I liked SM but goddamn whoever thought trainer models in battle was a good idea should just stop.
Hoping for a new move for my bro Golisopod to make it usable, like Kommo-o just got.

>at least XY wasn't as offensively bad as DP was.
You're right. XY was far more offensively bad.

Because I'm too busy playing Monster Hunter Stories a game where the devs actually tried.

MHS >>>>>>> Pokemon

I purchase the same game more than once and I already played that one 10 years ago as a child.

No good physical pre-order bonuses

>tfw kind of wanted it
>bought Ever Oasis instead and it's my favorite game this year so far
What is it anyway? I can't DL the demo right now.

basically all the changes of remote interest so far are

>you actually get to go to Ultra Spaces besides Nihilego's one corridor and catch the Ultra Beasts on their home turf
>three new UBs shown, probably more to come but who knows
>story seems to be notably changed focusing more on invaders from Ultra Space than Skull/Aether, Lillie actually becomes a trainer, Lusamine isn't insane
>surfing minigame with actual tricks and shit which also is used as a method of travel between islands instead of ferries
>Pass/O-Powers are back as part of Rotomdex and now there's some sort of relationship system with it where Rotomdex tries to build a personality to match yours based off dialogue choices in the game
>new Pokemon-specific Z-Moves, Kommo-O, Lycanroc, Solgaleo, and Lunala confirmed, at least one more coming
>photo mode where you get to take stupid pictures with your Pokemon and other trainers and pose them and throw stickers on like those mall booths
>Hau has twice as large of a team during his first fight on the second island so maybe they'll be sprucing up enemy teams

>Monster Hunter
>Devs trying

>You're right.
Try learning English, you fucking spic.
"wasn't as bad" means that it is less bad than the object coming after it.
It isn't vague enough to construe the sentence into its opposite meaning. You tried to come off as smug but in the end just came off as yet another illiterate and retarded DP defender.

>What is it anyway

Pokemon like game where you fight alongside monsters from the MH series, egg-nap from nest and perform light eugenics all while you ride on them and go questing and free the world of blight.

MHS literally shits on Pokemon's production values to absurd degree.

Gen 4 had the most substantial improvements to the battling system out of any of the games. The physical/special split and improvements to doubles more than redeem the evolutions that had genwunners up in arms.

>Reset my Sun save to download Unova Pikachu (restore the proper save later via homebrew)
>Run through the slow-ass beginning of the game so I can get to Pokémon Center
>Last patch of grass before that
>This appears
>Trade it to my main Moon save along with Unova Pikachu

Neato

it's practically the same as the non shiny

Gen 4 only real mistake was the god awful speed, shit was so slow that it was unbearable.

It was still enough that I could immediately recognise it as shiny.

Still pretty fucking cool to happen only 4 encounters into the game.

To be fair it can evolve into a nice and better shiny Pelipper

Congratz on the shiny user
I see. It's turn based right? I know I'm a shitter but the two things I hated about MH3U (the only MH I played) was the goddawful camera and the spongey enemies.

There are a lot of variables in place specifically meant to swing stats around so that it's rare to find two pokemon that are identical unless you're
min/maxing.
