[@Shade2800]

Gotta agree with how poorly they handled Lusamine here. The way they handled her motivation just felt...clumsily handled, especially with some of her mannerisms still in tack from the previous games. Like, they wanted to change her...but also wanted to kinda keep her how she was. And since Lusamine became one of my favorite gaming villains after playing Sun...this was massively disappointing for me...

[@manuelalbertoromero9528]

Let's just be glad that this is technically not the same Lusamine from Sun and Moon at least.

[@nifinland]

Yeah, back un SuMo, Lusamine was Ragyo Kiryuin in a child friendly franchise. Now she's... LAME.

[@juandiegotorres9632]

I feel maybe Lusamine Could've been obsessed with ultra necrozma rather that trying to save the world from it. That would've fit in more with the "psychotic beautiful pokemon obsession" angle of her personality.

[@jaydenc367]

I feel how they did it worked honestly

[@jaydenc367]

like she is still bad at first but becomes better over time

[@Japancommercials4U2]

The games really could have been so much better. I don't hate them, but they still possess so many problems of the originals.

[@CalebCraft10]

Japancommercials4U2 Yeah, after Platinum and Black and White 2 fixed SO many issues the originals had, this is kinda... Meh.

[@calebhorton4701]

Some Kind of Democrat To be fair, Black and White 2 are sequels, so I don’t think it’s fair to compare them to the remakes.

[@Zenithal1843]

Caleb Horton They're not remakes either. They're enhanced/sistee versions.

[@cosmelia652]

I completely agree. I dunno.... Unlike the other 3rd/sister Pokemon titles.... US/UM was just kinda....meh

[@thesupershinymegagengar2034]

Japancommercials4U2 And that's what made me quickly develop a love-hate relationship with them!

[@ketchupacket]

Blessed if you dont have Sun and Moon Messed if you have Sun and Moon Edit: Seems like Fawful's Minion agrees with me.

[@negspirito]

Honestly, I disagree with the general consensus people seem to have of "don't get US/UM if you've played Sun/Moon". I found that the side quests helped a lot with the pacing if you actually did them and that the battles against Ilima and the Pokemon School Principal added some much needed challenge to the early game.

[@vanilla2107]

I'd say blessed either way

[@danieldelta2464]

I might tell Pokemon I will start a campaign to change Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, & Ultra Moon. Kukui becomes the villain (Ultra Emperor starting in Aether Paradise), E4: Hala, Olivia, Molayna, Kahili, Champion Lusamine; Tapu Naga, guardian of Alola (Dragon/Fairy Type), N in US/UM with Plasma's return in RR2: Resurrection Kukui.

[@starberrysparkler]

I think that they're both blessed but USUM is teetering on the edge of it.

[@linkspokemon4114]

Genwunner

[@nopenopenopesomuchnope4137]

"The villains no longer pursue their intended goals." Y'know, except for Ghetsis, who seems to be pretty much in line. Child abuse and using those more powerful than him, only to stab them in the back and take the power for himself? That's our Ghetsis, alright.

[@StickMaster500]

I think the reason for all those downsides is because Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon was developed by the younger team of Game Freak as Kazumasa Iwao directed USUM and not Shigeru Ohmori or Junichi Masuda while the more veteran team like Shigeru Ohmori and Junichi Masuda were developing Pokemon for the Switch. In a way, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon was something to fill in while GameFreak was working on the next big game on the Switch.

[@jowysw]

StickMaster500 also because the development team was not the biggest. That and they didn't have a lot of time to make this game.

[@ShouldOfStudiedForTheTest]

Source? Just interested

[@WhimsicottFanatic]

So basically it was New Super Mario Bros 2 again, but for Pokemon

[@Navarchil]

I just hope Pokemon Switch is as fantastic as US/UM was lacking...

[@oyeh8908]

이승헌 That’s what people keep hoping with every game released since XY. And Game Freak keeps managing to screw up _somehow_ every time. I don’t see how Gen 8 will be any different.

[@mathewricafrente5984]

USUM is the most divisive and hated entry in the Pokemon main series, next to Gen 6. But holy Alolan Muk! I did not expect to have the tally count for USUM to be *1 point apart* from being tied!

[@Moon525]

I think Gen 6 would have been more successful if it got a Pokémon Gray or a X/Y 2 to serve as a sequel and expand the story and region of Kalos (as the games definitely could have had a bit more tightening in game play and more content).

[@mathewricafrente5984]

Pooja Pathak Yeah, I guess. But that idea was thrown out the window faster than a Kermit plush being thrown out an apartment building. On fire.

[@SJrad]

eh i think gen 5 was more debated/divisive.

[@Cata-qp6fi]

I think it's because they expected something like Black & White 2 and not what Crystal, Emerald and Platinum were, it's the same but with new things, don't get me wrong I think that would be the reason.

[@Cherrytangela]

Lets face the facts that those days of a single sister game are gone.

[@rikkawhiterose662]

Oh hey, a new Fawful upload. With Pokemon... Wait... I need to process this... (Screams with excitement and happiness)

[@lukedetering4490]

Norspark Because it's a remake and I'm curious what he thinks of it as a Mario and Luigi fan

[@TiStardust]

Was Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon really a "retcon"? I thought it just took place in an alternate reality?

[@ycastro2003]

Stardust Speedway Gaming it does take place in a other reality.

[@TiStardust]

I thought so.

[@manuelalbertoromero9528]

So yeah...In one universe she's good, and in another, she's a complete psycho.

[@Torterra454]

Now the question is which version will GF remember? the anime already used a middle point version of both, and the Adventures manga is using the og Lusamine.

[@borjankosarac3645]

OG!Lusamine is more memorable by default; USUM!Lusamine is shadow of her former self that makes Game!Lysandre look like the greatest character in the history of Pokemon (hint: he's NOT; both PokeSpecial/Adventures AND the anime did much better with him!) As for Anime!Lusamine... I don't mind her, honestly; she's eccentric and overbearing, but it works with the lighter tone and her different relationships with her two children are, while not super-compelling at least somewhat fun to watch. Her characterisation there after all, doesn't have ANY bearing on the anime writers being SO STUPID, they did NOT make Lillie's "Z-Powered Form" her permanent outfit from then on like in the games (because it's WAY superior and has more character, objectively, PERIOD!), so the fact they actually still adapted the "Motherbeast" arc is good enough for me... As Logan points out, USUM doesn't mesh with keeping Gladion and Lillie the same, but at least the anime actually made an EFFORT to not make the story a mess! That's without even getting into the URS barely having any real significance... Imagine for a moment, if we DID get a sequel: a story with a new trainer starting out with their own rival(s) and maybe some new Trial Captains (and Mina having her trial ready); if it's not just right on the heels of SM but a couple years later, bring a slightly-older Lillie back from Kanto as a trainer, with Lusamine in a new state and Gladion still running Aether Foundation; then the URS come with warnings about Necrozma, and Gladion (still with baggage on his mother) takes USUM!Lusamine's role in trying to do the wrong thing for the right reasons and through it, comes to forgive his mother by understanding her... You can definitely have Team Rainbow Rocket easily, so no worries there! Also of course, bring in Mohn with an actual character ARC instead of a lazy patch-job (just like USUM!Lillie resolving things with Mummy off-SCREEN... seriously, at least her taking her mother to find help and become a trainer in Kanto was character PROGRESSION).

[@wildcard_jr7967]

Legendaries and UBs aren’t effected by ultra space’s higher shiny odds. Just thought I’d correct you on that

[@fghdkjlfkghfc]

**Ultra Space running turns the 1/4096 chance of shiny into a 1/3 chance** *HOLYFUCKINGSHITWHATTHEFUCKINGARCEUSDIDHEJUSTFUCKINGSAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!*

[@cian2168]

I loved the photo club. I really thought it was a fun addition that let us bond with our Pokémon, which is what the franchise is all about.

[@McGlocklen]

Blessed or messed skyrim?

[@IceFireofVoid]

I think one of the details I like the most in the Ultra games, other than the obvious added sidequests, is the more subtle changes done to mess with your expectations. The best example is the water trial. If you've played S/M, you expect Lana to be a pathological liar and that you will fight the totem Wishiwashi without her telling you about it. But she acts very nonchalant and direct in her statements of the Wishiwashi being the boss. It feels uncanny and off, but you don't question it Seeing that Araquanid come up instead is absolutely spectacular. Lana's character as a massive troll is preserved, the twist is great, and non of it would work if you hadn't played S/M before.

[@TheQuashingoftheTub]

"Hau's awesome!" I-I'm not the only one? :')

[@magolor3219]

"the start is slower than a Regi-Kick-Ass coming out of bed!" ...aaaaaand now I can't stop seeing Regigigas slowly going upright in a bed when I play that part.

[@cjszero01]

Thanks for putting in the numbers each part earned before being added, it made things less confusing.

[@villainous2263]

I definitely would've preferred a sequel, but I did enjoy most of the things these games brought about. The unfortunate degradation of Lusamine ,and subsequently her kids, sucks big time, but Necrozma made a huge glow up (pun fully intended). I also found it was pretty dark in some areas, need I mention the haunted trainer school or Ultra Ruin being a wrecked AU Hau'Oli. And while final boss Hau was cool, Kukui was way better. Here's hoping Pokemon Switch is able to make up for those shortcomings

[@CractusJohn]

This may be because i just finished the RR episode, but can half a point be awarded for Faba's comeuppance & another half for the fact that Guzma just stands there holding back those two Rocket Grunts with his bare hands, not letting them do anything? Those two scenes cracked me up so much

[@CractusJohn]

also i liked that they improved Sophocles' trial & added a trial for Mina

[@ShiningSilvally]

FM: THAT was a close call. Me: NO KIDDING! I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN FOR THE BAD PARTS, BUT JESUS J. JIZZ, MAN! THAT ALMOST..........almost..........oh, fuck it. I'm at least glad that you have more good than bad. Even if the good won by a mere 2%.

[@auggie4269]

Missed ya Mr. Minion! You’re videos always put a smile on my face! Keep up the awesome work!

[@bricksofstone2027]

Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, a game that is oddly decisive. Considering that you love the original, I would love to see a blessed or messed on it.

[@JacktheLightningRipper]

A lot of the messed parts you had barely affected my overall experience with Ultra Moon. While not everything was perfect, Ultra Moon took everything I loved about the original Moon and multiplied it to levels I didn't think were imaginable while simultaneously adding in many new things to make it its own thing. For the final hurrah for Pokemon on 3DS and probably Pokemon on handheld in general, it was a dang good one in my opinion. Also, I actually really liked the photo booth, especially when a team member evolved, and thought what they did with the Rotom Dex was fine.

[@MiyaoMeow588]

Eh, I don't really see how anyone can say Lusamine is made particularly noble or good. She's still pretty self-centered, can still be rather nasty to her kids and overall still has, uh, issues (the fact that she's still freezing Pokémon alive should make that pretty clear), she's just made morally gray as opposed to crossing over into complete sociopathic territory. She's still a villain, but more of an "ends justify the means" villain rather than a complete monster. Both Lusamines are interesting for different reasons. That said, while I have no problem with the changes in Lusamine's character, the fact that Gladion and Lillie's arcs are weakened because of the change is something I can't help but be forced to agree with, partly because their arc doesn't really fit in with the slightly different direction their mother went with.

[@sleepyespurr2922]

ShutUpAdachi In USUM, she appears more as narcissistic and naive. This leads to her going into Ultra Megolopolis and pissing off the eldritch prism dragon god. In vanilla SM, her mind was already deteriorating as she was doping on space jellyfish neurotoxins for years. At that point, her love is a instinctive defensive mechanism for the Nihilego. That too is pretty eldritch in concept.

[@manuelalbertoromero9528]

...I prefer the latter.

[@09RetsamEdalb]

ShutUpAdachi is sun and moon the one you would recommend then? For story at least.

[@victikirby15]

I can’t believe you didn’t mention the best new thing that USUM added: MANTINE SURF! Not only is it a surprisingly fun minigame, it’s also an easy way to get BP for those sweet, sweet move tutors.

[@MiDaReProductions]

What was so special about Lusamine? To me she seemed generic in the original game, and the "redemption" at the end seemed forced. Idk maybe I'm just used to deeper character development, I didn't mind this change.

[@zacharyseiders5793]

In Sun and Moon she was bat shit crazy due to a lot of things! Mohn disappearing and Nihilego venom being the two things into that mess. USUM has her with the Mohn trauma but none of the Nihilego venom messing with her, still crazy and abusive but USUM made her much more human and told us the players what did sent her off the deep end. Fact that USUM gave us closure that S/M never did is another thing I prefer over the original, only trade off is that Lillie's plot is NOT the center focus of USUM which is what makes the every joe over look it as a "Butchering" of her story. (Less focus does make her weaker in the main... but the things happening at post game make up for it!)

[@TheMLPConnoiseur]

I can tell by your use of ultra nexrozmas theme in the final good point that you reaaaaaly liked it

[@Paraster]

I actually really liked US/UM Lusamine. An ambiguously evil prospective defender who is willing to go to extreme lengths to protect Alola is much more interesting than..._she's craaaazy!_ And Lillie and Gladion being opposed to her due to discomfort with her methods/fear for her safety adds a nice layer of complexity to their relationships. Not to mention that Mohn's disappearance is actually touched upon and explored a bit as opposed to it being missable background details. Also, I don't quite understand why Roto Loto is such an issue when you could easily just not use it. It and the Exp Share only make the game easier if you let them.

[@jowysw]

Paraster the thing is that Lillie story was tied to that craizy mother she had in the original S&M and, since that is gone in USUM, Lillie's quest (and Gladion as well) feel pointless. And that's without counting other issues with the story... Edit: A big plot hole like this: the Ultra Recon Squad actually had a Solgaleo or Lunala (depending of the verison) that you use to go where Necrozma is after it captures Nebby so... Why Nebby had to transform in the legendary Pokemon in the first place? (In fact, if Nebby didn't transform, it would not have been absorbed by Necrozma). The Ultra Recon Squad technically wants to stop Necrozma, right? So... Why they didn't mention they already had a Pokemon able to go to Ultra Splace? Unless they captured just before Nebby transforms (something they don't mention).

[@brunolinares604]

@@jowysw Late answer but they didn't offer their legendary because they mistrusted Lusamine, which they were proven correct later on. The squad wanted to just stop Necrozma, Lusamine wanted to destroy it.

[@Seafoamgaming]

I was surprised to find this video in my recommendations, and to see an ancient friend making ultra high quality content on a high-scale now. Congrats on that. As for this video, I do agree with most of the points on both sides, especially when it comes to stuff like the first 20 hours/pre-poni stuff being an awful drag and the move tutors being a handy help. Still though, the lack of the national dex/not including legends and island scan mons in it is the biggest flaw against this game for me and I was surprised to not even see the lack of a national dex acknowledged.

[@Dirakiaa]

Moment when you talked bout the OST and Ultra necrozmas Battle Theme kciking in, i seriously got goose bumps!

IMO, The National Dex can fuck itself dead as long as every Pokemon is present. Granted, the newest games don' have that, but I think what did make it in is great. Shame about Zoroark and Lopunny, but odds are they'll make it the next go round...

[@cosmelia652]

This is a problem I don’t have with just USUM, but gen 7 in general. Why does Game Freak insist on ditching the main concept of gen 6 in general (being Mega Evolution, of course) to make an entirely new one? It would’ve been easy to just incorporate Megas into the story, but they seem to want to rid everything of gen 6. Even Zygarde. Poor thing.

The thing I loved most about Kukui being the Champion of the Elite Four was that HE was ME. He was a guy who got into Pokemon at a young age, just as I first started playing Pokemon Yellow at the age of 11. He grew up with Pokemon just as I did. He kept the love of Pokemon just like I did. And he helped the next generation learn to love Pokemon just like I'm doing with my own nephew. It felt like, in a way, I was the final boss of Sun and Moon.

[@nifinland]

I think Zeraora's gonna be badass. Design ALONE made me consider it amongst the best mythical Pokémon there is.

[@Luigis_Menace]

I’ve heard that GameFreak is under a lot of stress to get Pokémon for the Switch out by 2018, which is honestly concerning. They’re basically trying to get a new game out every year which isn’t the most comfortable feeling.

[@bialex8083]

I certainly hope not. Because a main Pokemon game on the Switch has way too much potential to be wasted on only one year of developement.

I feel that the OG Sun and Moon were what Alola was truly meant to be, US/UM were all of the things they couldn’t have the time to add on the gameplay front. So Alola is basically fragmented into two. Or maybe I’m just saying that since the original Sun and Moon are my favorite Pokémon games, period. ...I just wish they kept the Lusamine story intact. That was amazing. Heck, Nihilego is my third-favorite Pokémon of all time!

[@browncow5210]

I hate to be that guy, but you missed a negative. The National dex is still MIA. It doesn't matter if you give it a face and sort of personality if it doesn't do it's intended purpose like it's supposed to. I initially thought that they had held off on it so they could introduce new Pokémon mid-gen and have their official dex order make sense, but nope. Still missing over half their creations and can't be bothered to so much as reuse old descriptions. All in all the games were still good. I mean, come on it's Pokémon, but they just weren't necessary and most of it felt like I paid $40 to replay what I already owned.

[@inconemay1441]

Agreed. Why bother collecting Pokemon outside of the regional dex when they aren't recorded?

[@anjubatus]

i figured that the issue was that there were just way too many pokemon already so it would just take too much space. making the pokedex smaller also makes the challenge of completely filling it a little bit easier when otherwise the difficulty would just keep increasing and incresing with every new game released. now the challenge is a bit more on the same level as some of the earlier games. also now you can fill the pokedex mostly by yourself without just getting most of them from trades because the dex is small enough to fit all it's pokemon into the same region.

[@jaydenc367]

well there things i'd change I really liked roto boost there optional but I mainly use em post game also they now released the starters hidden abilities...so yeah and the tuturial and ending weren't three hours long

[@adamjsher04]

Our true messenger of lord Fawful has spoken! As for the vid. I can pretty much fully agree to this. The good and especially the bad. I feel somethings missing from this though. Theres something that feels absent from this video. Oh i know. I dont know about you Mr. Minion, but what was your take on the fact that HAU'S starter gets to follow him, BUT NOT YOURS!? LIKE SERIOUSLY THE WALK CYCLES ARE THEIR FOR THE STARTERS AT THE VERY LEAST! WHY. COULDNT. THEY. JUST. LET. US. HAVE. THIS!? I doubt anyone cares about the snap feature or the pics feature you mentioned, but ever since gen 4 PEOPLE HAVE WANTED TO HAVE POKEMON FOLLOW THEM IN A MAIN SERIES GAME AGAIN GAMEFREAK!! I kinda feel that the tally should have tied because of this but still.

[@simple_ninja2061]

I was fine with how the game was going until I got to Acerola's trial. From that point to Po Town and then the Aether Paradise, it was exactly the same as the originals, and felt like a slog to get through.

[@RabXML]

Hey, a new Fawful's Minion upload! Now to wait another month.

[@ThePensissimo]

i actually quite enjoy the photo club, it's a very cute addition that can really bring out the creativity and personality of you and others. however there are a LOT of things that work against it such as the angles you can take pictures are severely lacking, the inability to place your trainer character in various different area's, the VERY small area you can place your pokemon and still have them pose, not being able to pause the pokemon's poses, turning causes the box placement to enlarge and thus more restriction, not being able to use multiple pokemon in a photo so group shots ae impossible... there are many more things i can say about this feature that i wish they had tweaked more, but over all i personally love the photo club with all the restrictions placed upon you, you really have to get creative, which i enjoy. the pokemon not pausing their animations makes it feel like trying to get that perfect picture of your pet dog, and that can take hundreds of tries, so it's realistic. the locales they use are all gorgeous and thus make for some amazing scenes, all the poses the pokemon can pull off can also make for some great scenes. so many good things, so many lack luster things i really hope in the next installment that game freak will highly consider keeping it around

[@TiStardust]

"Overpowered" EXP. Share? I thought the game was balanced fine with the EXP. Share in mind.

[@PerfectKirby]

Oh-ho, no it wasn’t. I turned mine on and was ridiculously overpowered before I knew it.

[@schmooferino6441]

So, the game is balanced when you are between 10-20 LEVELS HIGHER THAN YOUR ENEMIES?! I think NOT.

[@TiStardust]

You guys just grind a lot! Better than spending 3 hours training every individual team member early game waiting desperately to get an EXP. Share that is used as a HOLD ITEM. No thanks.

[@HyperShadicNazo21]

Schmooferino i was overleveled and still got my ass kicked by ultra necrozma and the team rainbow rocket admins.

[@Sevenizer1]

It helps that even with the EXP Share on, the game still manages to be somewhat difficult up to Ultra Necrozma

[@hnickel4757]

10:52 This might be the best character animation ever to come from this series.

[@thebeavpercabethftw9604]

Honestly, the one interesting thing I find about this game is that the main antagonist is a pokemon. We have never had the main antagonist be a pokemon in a main series game before. We have had the main villain take control of the cover Pokémon, but the cover Pokémon was never the actual villain before.

[@supersomething951]

Hey Fawful, great video like always, but there's some scene in the video we're the game doesn't have the black outlines. Do you know how to do that?

[@mewby6494]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the UN fight. God that fight

[@PlasmaZero]

Oh boy, I can't wait to finally get some side-quests do- "Fawfuls Minion Uploaded-" Well I mean...They aren't going anywhere.

[@bentleytheartist1717]

You missed a huge and titanic Messed: *FESTIVAL PLAZA*

[@MxPokirby]

I've pronounced her name as "Lusa-mean". Also, maybe I "blinked and missed it", but did you forget to mention how they fixed the SOS system?

[@anoriginalusername1088]

One of my gripes is they got rid of the title defense trainers. They gave you a reason to actually re-fight the elite four other than the high exp and cash as they were people you either wouldn't see elsewhere in the adventure and it was a fun surprise to see who you would fight. I also dislike how they got rid of the optional trial captain battles you can face after clearing the island, they were a fun bonus and gave the captains more personality but in USUM they were all turned into Mina's trial which only made the trial ,that everyone was excited for, an uninspired boss rush.

[@jacksoncossich4210]

The Lusamine change was kinda mixed for me, while im kinda happy lusamine isnt an ultra beast obsessed freak anymore, It also removed one of the most touching scenes during Execcutor Island when Lillie tells her story about how she danced with her mother in the rain. Now that little cave is nothing more but a reminder of what once happened.

[@Lenare]

Yeah your advice at the end makes perfect sense. I never played Sun or Moon but got Ultra Sun and absolutely love it. One should really choose Sun/Moon OR Ultra Sun/Moon and not get both unless they're a super fan.

[@fawfulmeme1380]

I think you should do sunshine or skyward sword next. I also really liked this video almost everyday of my life I listen to the ultra necrozma theme

[@VezixHaikal]

now this is well done video thankyou

[@dr.toxicgamingmadscientist]

Should've been called Pokemon Earth from the start, because you got the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth...why need an ultra form of either?

[@jakequaza3567]

The reason gamefreak make mythicals unobtainable is because they’re supposed to be rare and only available in one time events, if you could catch them in the game they’d be just as common as regular legendaries that you can get infinate of if you reset your game, this way mythicals have value. However i do thing they are making way to many mythicals and should just stick to one per generation like the ilder games.

[@optimisticcharizard602]

I think one of the best upgrades from the originals is now how much easier it is to get BP No more battle grinding over 30 mins to get 2 bp. Now play a 5 min fun mini game to get 10 at a time.

Your vocabulary is what gods sound like thank you

Fawful, in the game freak place, there's an aether foundation person who will set it to stick so... the ultra wormhole is great

[@skyslasher2297]

This show is always improving

[@Wadosan]

Dont want to be that guy, but I found the lusamine arc to be somewhat interesting. Not as interesting as the originals, but interesting nonetheless. The arc wasn’t about lusamine is trying to save everyone because she is selfless, she is trying to save everyone because of her massive ego. She only does this for recognition and show, and thats why she goes to such extremes to do it. I dont know. I like the game because extended postgame is a thing 0ω~ Also I like shiny things

[@bryandraws5163]

I just found a way to improve the story a tiny bit. Instead of Lusamine being a noble figure, how about keep her as a psychotic woman and have her motivation intact, but when she tries to bring the Ultra Beasts to the real world, she discovers that they are under the influence of Nekrozma. In her psychotic ideology of beauty, she views Nekrozma as an ugly parasite and tries to defeat it, but fails, meaning the player has the responsibility of defeating Nekrozma.

By the 3ds's dying breath you mean it's gonna last through 2018

Hey Logan guess what there is a way to make the ultra wormhole controls to the circle pad

[@mparagames]

14:36 Roto Exp. Points is very useful for LVL. 100 grinding when you don't have the Lucky Egg.

[@BlusterTheBenevolent]

Man,another “half and half” BOM. What’s next? DKC3? KH1? SSBB?

[@runningoncylinders3829]

You're going Phantom Menace next. Meesa can't wait! (Send help for this man.)

[@MrAiden43]

I'm just gonna put this here because it's what I think The final battle with Hau meant to show how much he's grown through his added character development in this game due to the face he's a whole lot more serious than in SM.

[@wintertheampharos4725]

Blessed: difficulty increase and Mantine Surf After Gen 6, Most complain about the newer games being too easy, and the first set of gen 7 are no different. As for the revisit, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are a bit more challenging than Sun and Moon. It’s a slight difficulty increase, but an increase nonetheless. As for Mantine Surf, it’s a fun mini game and a fun way to travel between the islands of Alola. Messed: lack of more Regional variants.

[@Robertz702]

Wished we got more regional variants in USUM, that was my only one con for the games.

[@benanator876]

You didn’t mention that Lillie becomes a trainer. GOD YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FUCKING GREAT THAT WAS TO SEE!!!! AND SHES A GREAT BATTLE TREE PARTNER ITS AMAZING

[@fyroforvictory]

This is probably what I'd reference as a good place to get an idea of my feelings towards USUM, honestly I can't say I disagree with really anything in the video since, well yeah, downgrades on the story in favor of the new content to a game(s) that already was great on its own kinda feels... no. I mean dont get me wrong, I like Poipole, its evolution, the whole thing w/ rainbow rocket, the new boost of growth for Hau, and especially Dusk Form Lycanroc (despite it being just a recolor with differing stats to the other forms) but even so. Similar opinions, thanks for a good video, and I can't wait to see what comes up

[@metamayto]

The Phantom Menace? That's different.

[@matthewchambers4393]

Zeraora is going to be realeased around October and the hidden ability starters were avalible via Pokémon bank

[@TMan5636]

Wait? So Shiny hunting in the Ultra Space is a million times easier than outside it? That kinda makes my Shiny Magcargo feel less rewarding.

[@azazeltheundyingdamienkali5700]

Fuck, Fawful’s Minion uploaded a video! [hops on Lunala] Let’s go! [flies through Ultra Wormhole]

[@SirBopALot]

About the Lusamine retcon, and the story in general: Aren’t UltraSun and UltraMoon set in an alternate reality or something?

[@MaskedHeroLucky]

I did replay Sun thinking that the Ultra games were proper sequels. I was in agony as I slowly realized during the tutorial that it was the same game.
