On your note about the straight single streets in towns, it could indeed just be laziness by Nintendo, but a couple Hawaiian islands are just like that. Kauai has basically one road that goes around almost the entirety of the island and many of the major towns work around that main road. If that main road is closed, part of the island is effectively blocked. So, the town designs loosely work like some Hawaiian towns. If purposeful, it’s actually a nice touch.

[@iceneko9170]

its questionable if its purposeful since, well, we get a similar design philosophy in sw/sh

[@not_monkey]

@@iceneko9170 I see what you mean about Hulbury and the castle place. I think the main problem is the lack of interesting interiors and the fact it's not worthwhile to go in any of them more than a first exploration.

[@iceneko9170]

@@not_monkey thats the thing though... in sw/sh the towns *look super interesting*. theres no reason that the interiors would suffer if given propper development time and were custom fit for the area. the towns themselves turn into single roads too, which is really frustrating when we see such grand and interesting themes like motorstoke with its overindustrialization and the castle with its dragon spires and technically historical archetecture. we also have the town in a fairy-like forest, a town built around a spire reaching towards the sky... ancient ruins... the fact is that the themes are interesting and could lead to amazing places to explore. to say the interiors are cloned and uninteresting being the problem is barely scratching the surface

[@monke12354]

Regardless of inspiration or laziness, you would think the devs would realize that a single straight street acting as a city is not visually interesting, does not encourage exploration, and is not very memorable.

I think the Alola games would be improved so much by just adding the option to skip cutscenes. It would make them so much more repayable.

[@dbzluva987654321]

Same. I actually liked them alot the first time I played them but all the cutscenes and in game talking really kills their replayability. And that problem continued into the Ultra games. I bought Ultra Moon the day it came out and just beat it earlier this year because I felt like I had already seen everything before.

@@nutmegdoesstuff1339 is that what the one in SwSh does? Because I was going to use that until I read that it said it just cuts them all out, so I’d miss the story, rather than just adding the possibility to press the X button to skip the cutscene?

[@charmishing]

Not my favorites but all the side quests are a nice touch and I do think there’s a lot of personality and attention to detail in certain places.

Side note: Kukui’s not a Champion. He challenges you to defend your Champion Title. As in, you become the First Champion of the Alola League and then defend that Title from another Challenger. So Kukui’s not the “substitute” champion, he’s a challenger while YOU are the champion.

[@robertrucker9210]

Technically professor kukui is standing in as the champion. He starts off by saying you are the champion now wouldn't it be nice if it were that simple unfortunately you still have one more challenge to go and that's me. Meaning you are not the champion untill beating him.

[@RedDragonForce2]

@@robertrucker9210 then why are you considered the FIRST Champion? Why are you DEFENDING your Championship title rather than challenge the current Champion for it?

Exactly, it’s such a slow paced game and combined with the very small size of each island it really feels like you’re exploring in a small and restricted area instead of free roaming like in X&Y. It’s funny bcs nintendo said they made this game to utilize 3ds’ full potential yet X&Y feels waaay more utilized than this.

[@D2daICE]

To see this video today is quite a surprise for me, because i recently thought about pokemon games overall and come to the conclusion that the Gen7 games (especially Ultra Sun/Moon) are probably my favorite generation/games so far. YES, the games have flaws, especially when you are an adult player or are someone who plays through the games for a second or third time, because the start is so super slow, but overall i really like the Alola region and what it brings to the pokemon games. So if i ignore all the flaws (each generation had) then i end up with a very beautiful game (thanks to the style), an interesting region, cool characters, a funny/cool evil team, the gym trials (which are a welcomed change to the known formula), the whole S.O.S. battle system and some neat things in the Poke Pelago.

[@zoinksscoop20yearsago68]

Story, game mechanics and lore wise, SM/USUM its one of the strongest together with B&W/B2W2 (or better bcuz there are no freaking rotating battles gfd). Yeah the game start is pretty slow with all the cutscenes and it gets anoying how much handhelding there is. The rivals are more of an ash type companion, which is kinda nice as it makes the whole journey less, idk lonely? Like you actually create conections with these characters without it being as forced as XY. I also like the villain-not-villain teams as it shows the whole "not all people who act as villains, are evil themselves" and "you can have good intentions but awful execution". Which is more realistic than stuf like "I just wanna destroy the world and create my own lmao" (dpp are my fav games but still). Its a really solid game that doesnt deserve the hate it gets.

[@D2daICE]

I had never been more excited for a new Pokémon game than I was for Sun and Moon, and that's why gen 7 is my favourite Pokémon generation to this day.

[@testerwulf3357]

Just because our character IS a child doesn't exactly mean we should be treated as one..In the zelda games you often play a child yet still get plenty of room to explore and be independent; I understand trying to make it realistic as no kid would be left alone, but no one likes being suffocated like that and treated like a dumb 4 year old so in the end it's a bad decision..good in theory bad in practice y'know? Not to mention plenty of other pokemon games layed off us and gave us exploration so suddenly restricting us like this isn't good and WILL cause people to be upset.

As someone who still continues to play Pokémon despite being completely blind for six years.

Australia and double the price: it's not that bad. Australian money buys about 60% of what American money buys, but that also means that wages are higher to compensate.

Doesn't matter, it's stupidly expensive.

The guide literally states Litten is the best starter early? Seriously? When Popplio eventually learns a fairy move, which depending on the game, can help with the first trial and definitely help with Hala.

Yea popplio is definitely the most effective

[@testerwulf3357]

Litten is actually the best starter for the entire game, but not really early game. Popplio ALSO isn't the best starter early game..that title goes to rowlet as he not has a type advantage against hala's fighting types but has a type advantage over the most powerful totem in the game which would be the water one, it sadly sucks late game though. Popplio has a bad weakness for team skull (most common trainers) specifically after it gets fairy type, but even without the fairy typing it can't really do much to them? Litten however handles team skull like a champ.

[@zagger999]

@@testerwulf3357 Rowlet is good for those battles but Litten is an alright choice he struggles with Guzma's Golisopod. Popplio really starts shining when it fully evolves into Primarina as it doesn't care about Team Skull and it's poison types, Wicke gives you Psychic and it can learn that, it tears apart the late game and when it comes to the elite 4 Primarina can solo it with it's move pool. It's the most versatile for an in game play-through but I will give Incineroar his due... He is the much better competitive Pokemon.

One of my first games was ultra sun and I personally loved it.

A Yo-Kai Watch "Nintended" would be very cool! 😎 Or any non mainline Pokemon games.

You're wrong, it's not just discount Arceus! It's also indecisive Eevee.

I love how when talking about Castform PaPaSea just threw in a random "hail yeah" in there to please the Mikey fans

[@brettkallmes1439]

Dude that means I asked for Pokemon Sun for Christmas 5 YEARS AGO?!😭😭😭

[@braedensimon8023]

Ooh. I actually have a guide for the ultra versions. Actually had pretty good info

[@ViGaNova]

"For an upside down copy nonetheless" 😂

[@HallowIsSmol]

i actually have the special edition of Pokemon Sun and Moon's strategy guide, so seeing someone discuss it is really cool.

[@The1Fau]

Sun and Moon is my pokemon favourite game

[@kellen7738]

Early gang. Sea got me back into Pokémon

[@NumberOneGlooner]

Sun and Moon were my first pokemon games and it's nice to see them get some more love

[@chris25128]

I liked these when they released but ultra version were a bit better in difficulty but I loved the champion In these better than the ultra version
