The END of Pokemon Sun & Moon Online...

[@odeegrotsniffer4166]

Sun and Moon were absolutely fantastic. Yeah it had too many cut scenes, and yeah, the festival plaza was... less than optimal. But alola was stunning, trials were super fun, and establishing a league was a great idea.

[@IsaiahFisher19]

Just play ultra sun and moon it’s the better version I’m glad skipped sun and moon

[@ultimate6295]

I remember me and my friend needing about two hours to figure out how we can add each other as friends and play together on the festival plaza 😂

[@Batman101_]

I think the cut scenes are what made the story amazing tho and it aged really well.

[@TheRedStinger82]

I spent so much time trading with people online in Pokemon Moon. It really breaks my heart that the online will be discontinued next month

[@Akuma-ti7wi]

Mod ur ds then

[@garchompelago]

Gen 7 specifically USUM, were my favorite Pokemon games and favorite Gen. It was the last pokemon main series games where all existing Pokemon can be in a single game card and the last main series games where all battle gimmicks(there were only 2 at the time) are all accessible.

[@DuskLegend]

Hopefully the whole “all pokemon included” thing changes soon

[@Gepardosaurus]

Those were the last games that weren't an unplayable mess on release day. They had some issues but not as bad as the new ones. I'm also not willing to fork over 15€ or whatever for a handful of new Pokemon. It's sad that Nintendo loves killing good games in favor of mediocore ones.

[@The_Phoenix_Saga]

@@DuskLegend Unlikely, Iwata was the guy who ensured that principle. Now he's no longer with us, corporate greed has taken over principle and so they feel as if we should just get what we're given. Just too bad so many of the die hards keep defending them. I'm a first gen player - got Blue back in 98 and never stopped, but even I've condemned Nintendo, Game freak and The Pokemon Company for halfassing since Galar in terms of the types of mon availability among other things.

[@subnauticabro7069]

I really like the Gen 7 game’s and I feel like people are gonna start liking these games more soon like the black and white effect

[@derky76]

Yup. Remember all the hype and love for gen 5 before the Presents. Till it happened and now there's a huge love for XY out of nowhere lol. megas were the only good part

[@yvettezilla]

Yep! Waiting for the day people will finally realise how amazing gen 7 was. From day 1 I've known it was amazing

[@ikorraks]

I don't think there was a black and white effect, everyone I know and remember in the scene at the time loved it when it was out. The only reason people love it more now, is because every game since other than remakes have fallen short of expectations. If Black and White came out on the switch in Sword/Shield graphics for the first time, people would have lost there minds at the improvements

[@The_Phoenix_Saga]

@@ikorraks What killed Black and White was ironically what was just accepted and even defended in Sword and Shield: what was perceived as a dexcut. Black and White went on the premise of only having so many mon in game and didn't say out loud that the national dex was going to be included later - despite that gen pushing the ds to its limit. Sword and Shield however had no such excuse and made no apology for a deliberate dexcutting and it's prowess was far beneath the Switch's capability and yet barely even tried whilst foistering the audacity to make people pay for an extra two areas with nowhere near the full roster.

If i remember correctly you can find wild starter Pokemon in Sun and Moon but it involved QR codes and certain areas.

keep in mind that Sun and Moon were compatible with Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Ultra games had Island Scans and the Kanto Starters were possible through that as an encounter, using a Beast Ball would be annoying and time consuming but it would be possible to catch either of those in 1.

I just picked up playing Ultra Sun for like the 3rd time, it’s been a while but after BDSP, Sw/Sh, and even S/V I really really see how much these games gave us. They’re not perfect but I adore them. They’re my favorites I think. I’m 37 and have been playing since I was a 10 year old girl and play now with my son. I just love these games and the post game was S tier.

[@damianrogowski5519]

Whats your favourite pokemon game ranking

[@exellerplayz]

I personally loved SM/USUM. One of my favorite generations to go back to. Although the online was questionable, especially with the GTS. All the hacked trades were such a mess, causing the game to crash and force you to hard reset your system. But other than the online function, these games were great. Plus these games are still one of the only games where every single Pokemon was present in the game. (besides HOME or GO)

[@D7nt_MindMe]

I remember getting soo many shinies in the GTS, almost filling up 4 boxes of them.

[@IowaCoconut]

I’m about to get Ultra Moon for the first time this Wednesday! I am so excited! The Sun and Moon anime was a huge part of my childhood, but I never played the games until now so it’ll a unique and awesome experience!

[@handy_jack118]

you are most definitely going to enjoy them , the story is a bit better than original sun and moon and every pokemon up to that point can be transferred into those games, 10/10 would play 1000 more times

Wait, are they discontinuing the Bank too?

⁠@@PaPaSeasorry to ask but a while ago I tried buying used ultra moon and sun (like both multiple times across 3 days from a used game store) and whenever I got to the z move tutorial the game would just freeze and shut off, is that just a problem the servers have? Or did I just get unlucky and got corrupted save files like 5 times in a row and should try again until I get a working copy? (Again sorry but Reddit and stuff says nothing about it so I’m assuming someone like you is my best option to figure it out; I wanna relive my childhood with a physical copy again)

Nintendo are ACTUALLY messed up for their business practices in gaming. I turned on my 3ds today to give Omega Ruby another playthrough and saw a message on the pss that trading is now discontinued, thank you for my services?!?.. It's almost pointless playing the 3d games as Wonder Trade & GTS made multiple playthroughs with different party's of pokemon That much better. No to mention the fact they don't keep their older games in circulation in physical or digital form, leading to Pokemon B&W & BW2 to cost anywhere from £75-250 in store or online. People think Sony & Microsoft suck, which they do, but Nintendo be getting away pickpocketing you then tapping you on the shoulder to say that They (Sony/Microsoft) did it... Here's a Zelda game.
