3DS Pokemon Sun/Moon [3DS]

Designer 1: "Hey, I saw a sandcastle the other day and thought, "We should make a Pokemon out of that." But how?"
Designer 2: "Put some eyes and a mouth on it."
Designer 1: "Genius!"

 

[Mister Carlton]

I guess it does take some time to come up with something as cool as that sandcastle.

It's growing on me.


But seriously overall the designs are awful this generation

From what I've seen, I can't say I'm crazy about the region either.

Even the art style of the overal game isn't doing anything for me.

New footage of a side quest.

Looks riveting.

 

[Premiers04]

New footage of a side quest.

Well that settles it. I'll grab both games just so i can play this side quest twice.

 

[Igloo]

Why did I watch the whole thing?

 

[iBeng]

If thats just the sidequest image how epic the NON sidequest is!

The Top 1% of Rattata?

[Firestarter]

May only be for US and Canada.

Just what Rattata needed, a 4x weakness to fighting!

Got the Tweet from Nintendo AU. Munchlax for all regions.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Awful.

Glad I'm not the only one with reservations on this game. The z-moves, the Alolan forms, I don't understand why they couldn't just leave it how it was. Don't fix what's not broken. Adding in all these extra features isn't exciting me. I'll still get it though.

Mega Evolutions were the beginning. Everything fell down the slippery slope after that.

I was originally excited by them changing up the formula. But its almost getting too far now. Too many new features that take away from what pokemon originally was instead of expanding on past ideas

I think even they know they are running out of ideas hence the Alolan forms of the original Pokemon, playing on that Nostalgia.

If they want a Nostalgia hit though they should do it as part of a New gen Game.
Have it as a portal after the main game and your transported to another world that is the same as the old 1st gen but with differences in typing, reverse things like Squirtle being grass Charmander being water, new story etc.

If they stayed the same people would complain, when they try something different people complain. You can never win

That is a very shallow strawman argument.

Bloody hate it too.

Bloody hate it too.

Would also be shallow to judge how a game will be before playing it, I'm rather excepting of change, if I wanted a game that played like the older games I'll play those older games. This is something new that I won't know if I'll like until I play it.

 

[kreglze]

I love the Alola versions idea.

The Z Moves are a bit ehh, but I probably won't be looking to use them too often.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Alolan forms and Mega Evolutions are awesome in my opinion.

Z-Moves sound ******* stupid though. As is Synergy Evolution or whatever (see Ash Greninja)

 

[GoldenHodge]

I like the Alola forms so far. Before these forms were announced I did want to see a game set in the Kanto region with re-designs and type changes of the original 150 Pokemon but putting this as an optional form in Sun & Moon is better.
