No I mean how'd you get in.

The place hasn't moved since sapphire, but whereas in that game electric santa gives you the key, this time it wants a retina scan or something.

When Gold and Silver get re-released

I never caught Raikou, Entei, or Suicune back in the day.

Then the battery powering the save file died.

I swear to God Bear, the battery or whatever was even worse with Crystal. I went through three cartridges as a kid.

You have to beat Kyogre and then go talk to Wattson, you go to his house and he gives you access to New Mauville.

Using one battery for both the built in clock and the memory wasn't such a bright idea.

New UB confirmed, as well as being able to go to the worlds of the Ultra Beasts, which sounds badass.

I like the idea of actually exploring the UB dimension, and that "world where necrozma stole the light" thing was somewhat intriguing. I've been let down by Pokemon before, so I'm still remaining cautiously skeptical about the game. I've learned not to get too hyped for something because the trailers are spectacles.

But it does look like they're putting in some kind of effort. Hopefully this game is actually complete.

That new Evil team is absolutely terrifying. Jesus, this is how you make good villains, you make them threatening.

this

I can't take Team Plasma seriously when they all yell "PLASMAAAAA" when defeated, or Team Skull when their grunts use hand motions with every step and dress like cringy wannabe gangster middle-school kids.

 

[Hui]

Yeah but can you waifu evil mom?

Yeah but can you waifu evil mom?

Our waifu technology is so advanced that even non humans have waifus.

You're not supposed to take Team Skull seriously tho...

 

[A.Shitposter]

Team Skull are canonically jobbers on purpose because they're red herrings.

 

[Hui]

Team Skull are lolcows

 

[The Iconoclast]

You're not supposed to take Team Skull seriously tho...

I mean, they steal Pokèmon and they even took over an entire town, adding to the fact that we knew Guzma and Lusamine were working together. I don’t see why we shouldn’t have them be more serious instead of comical.

Team Skull are canonically jobbers on purpose because they're red herrings.

Not sure how much I agree with that statement, because from the first cutscene of SuMo, we knew that the Aether foundation were up to something bad. I’m not sure if it’s a red herring if we knew what the “twist” was gonna be.

 

[Hui]

They took over a town? I thought it was like abandoned and in the shitter and they were all just hanging out in the rain.

Yeah for a rich af company they went for the lowest hanging fruit. Guzma's motivation is that... he wasn't good enough? The baddest? ???

But you don't even know that team skull are working for PETA until later on, the red herring remains intact.

To be honest all of the enemy gangs in pokemon are all morons doing increasingly absurd things for silly reasons. Team Aqua is clearly the worst, because they looked at Hoenn and said ' You know what this place needs? More ocean!'

That said, the Plasma grunts win the award for worst style.

 

[nonnewtonian]

New signature move and two Z-moves for Necrozma. Looks like the Rotom Pokedex is getting more features.

 

[The Iconoclast]

I think it was because he couldn't be a kahuna or something, as he said to Kukui.

Team Aqua is clearly the worst, because they looked at Hoenn and said ' You know what this place needs? More ocean!'

Teeeeechnically they wanted to get more water for water type pokemon to live but

They are taking the Z-Moves so fucking seriously -.-

What's gonna be the next gimmick, forced aspect for 8th Gen? "Super-Types?" Use a "Leaf-ite" (because of course it'd be poorly named) on a Charizard and it'll be Grass for this match!

I know I'm so picky on the gimmicks they've been trying to do since Pokemon Contests, but they really add squat to the game.

"Mega" Evolution was such a waste of a better idea (not to mention all "Mega's" are just the main form with added parts) and Z-Moves take way too long. Seriously.

I just hope there are more new Pokemon. The new Ultra Beasts don't necessarily indicate there to be new regular Pokemon, but here's hoping. Salandit needs an evolution for its Males.

And honestly, if all they're gonna give us for new forms is that basic, unimaginative Dusk Lycanroc (and another thing, Lycanroc turned out to be REALLY dissapointing), maybe I'll skip after all and get me an ORAS.

 

[Ido]

I've used a Z move all of once, when I let a young relative run around in my game and I showed him what it did. I don't give af about them.

 

[ES 148]

Best villain team was definitely Team Galactic. Impeccable fashion sense.

Eh, it's a cute gimmick in my opinion. I don't use Z Moves or Mega Evolutions, but I know that kids get excited about them because they're flashy and super powerful.

I'm so disappointed that original-style contests haven't been brought back into the series. I liked the strategy of it, and it encouraged using less powerful/non-battle mons.
