Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

[Cutie Gwen]

I legitimately didn't know US/UM had significant story differences.

Like, I'm curious, but not curious enough to play through the whole damn game again and pay, what, $35 used?

They made her the good guy because apparently evil moms aren't allowed in kid games

 

[DarthEnderX]

You know what would be interesting? If they made Sword/Shield like Birthright/Conquest. WAIT HEAR ME OUT.

Let the player pick if they want a harsher challenge or a more casual experience based on the version they choose. Make the multiple versions thing mean something for once.

Yeah, because that's something that should require buying separate games instead of a simple difficulty toggle like every other game ever made...

...huh.

I do not approve.

The story is worse than the og Sun and Moon. USUM do add some extra gameplay things that I enjoyed, but I don't think it's that worth it.

Unless you're like me and you bought it for one Pokemon.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Please God, just let Grookey evolve into a Grass/Dark type. I need to complete my Dark starter trinity.

Unless you're like me and you bought it for one Pokemon.

I bought it for 4 Pokemon, because my living Pokedex must remain complete. But I was really unhappy about it.

 

[Deleted member]

I have no clue who I am going to get gang.
Seriously, I like them all.

Also I smell the Fire Emblem memes.

I am getting both games, but that is going to cost a lot of money.

I like to think the player's mom in each game is lowkey part of the evil organization

 

[Cutie Gwen]

...huh.

I do not approve.

That's pretty much the sentiment of everyone who saw it

 

[Idon]

...huh.

I do not approve.

Hey kids, do you like

She's part of the evil organization as an under cover officer for the International Police.

That's why these 12 year olds are taking down cults and mobs, they're moms trained them.

 

[ClaTheBae]

those starters suck

I understand your point and agree with it. At the same time, "difficulty toggles" don't always legitimately up the difficulty. Simply making the numbers bigger and requiring more grinding, to me, isn't a satisfying difficulty change. I'd prefer completely changing trainer layouts and teams, further spaced out Pokecenters and rest stops, altered routes that make previously optional paths now demanded for you to get to the next town, etc.

All of this can absolutely be put in one game, but they've gotten away with selling two of the same product since 1996. I'm just saying that giving players the option at purchase of an easy or hard route with significant differences would actually make the split games thing have a purpose for once.

I legitimately don't know how selling two-to-four of every Pokemon game doesn't get, like, any backlash at all. If EA tried to sell "Dragon Age: Exalted March" and "Dragon Age: Tevinter Imperium" as two sides of the same game the internet would be torn asunder over it.

no u

leave my babies alone

 

[ClaTheBae]

no u

leave my babies alone

I mean they're fine but they look way too similar. not really doing a lot for me

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Also can we appreciate how goddamn memetic this game has already gotten just for over the top british slang? Alola got pretty memey but only once they confirmed **** after the starters

 

[Pyra]

those starters suck

wow and here i thought you were CoolTheBae but in reality you're ClaTheBad

 

[Deleted member]

I really like Scorbunny's design, but I also like Sobble.
I will probably trade a Sobble into one of my games, so I have both.

 

[staindgrey]

That's pretty much the sentiment of everyone who saw it

So what you're saying is...

I'm popular??

 

[Idon]

"oi mate, you got a loicense for that badge?"

 

[staindgrey]

those starters suck

THANK YOU.

Damn I was starting to feel like something was wrong with me.

[Noipoi]

I'm gonna enjoy reading everyone's dialogue in the most stereotypical british accents my mind can conjure.

To be fair there isn’t exactly a high caliber of competition.

frogboi

Oh, didn't know he was dark. I think I went with, uh.

So it's donning on me now that I never finished Pokemon Y and I cannot remember anything about the game besides trying out new clothes in the store and the fact that Scizor had a mega evolution.

 

[Pyra]

Sometimes I forget that not everyone has extensive knowledge on every single Pokemon like I do.

I'm not even saying that to brag. I'm an absolute dweeb and i'm ashamed.

Pokemon S&S is just Xenoblade 3

 

[ClaTheBae]
