Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon were the Pinnacle of Pokemon | USUM Critique

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, are some pretty sick games, that really don't get talked about alot or some reason, so today i decided the best course of action would be to dissect every ounce of the game possible to see just how good it may actually be, instead of writing it of as "haha silly modern Pokémon game"

We were angry at them for giving us so much content thats why they chose to barely give us anything in the switch era

[@fish_tails5557]

And the Switch games sold a whole lot more than the DS and 3DS ones. I guess they learned their lessons.😰

dialogue spam isnt content

Pokemon USUM were my favorite Pokemon games of all times and the last Gen that I really enjoyed. Both Megas and Z-moves available thus all battle gimmicks at the time were available. Literally all Pokemon that exist can be obtained and transferred in the game. An ingame counter mid-battle so you would know how many turns are left for trickroom, tailwind, taunt, weather etc is left. Amazing story. I understand it has flaws like -being restricted in the festival plaza just to stay connected online -too much cutscenes -too much hand holding. Etc But for me, this is the peak of Pokemon and the best games and the best Gen. Say what you will about Gen 7. USUM has more content, more polished and has all Pokemon(and forms) that currently exist. None of the Pokemon games from the switch was able to achive the massive amount of content and playable characters USUM had.

[@NoHsHad0]

also the game is actually HARD something which Pokémon games heavily lack

[@garchompelago]

@@NoHsHad0 I only won against Ultra Necrozma because my Incineroar's Malicious Moonsault dealt a critical hit. The rainbow rocket part was also hard if youre underleveled (I dont skip trainer battles but I also dont grind much either. Giovanni's mewtwo made me reset multiple times before I finally won) Gen 7 us underated. Still my favorite Gen. Say whar anyone will. Gen 7 were the peak for me and probably the last games I trully enjoyed. I played all Pokemon main titles on the switch (not counting LGPE) and Gen 7 is still my favorite.

[@NoHsHad0]

@@garchompelago currently fighting ultra necrozma because i decided to replay usum and i feel like a really low sashed mon with endevour and then letting it die and switching into mimikyu and desguise then play rough 😆

[@fish_tails5557]

​@@NoHsHad0Why not you give that Pokémon with Focus Sash of yours both Endeavor and a Priority Move like Quick Attack or Sucker Punch so that after it Endeavours Necrozma to it's last HP, you can follow up with a Priority attack on the next turn to knock it immediately. So, you don't have to sacrifice anyone.

[@NoHsHad0]

@@fish_tails5557 thats just what i said

I played every mainline series game over the last couple years and USUM was hands down my favorite games. I loved these games and it was such a shock to me that they had so much hate. It really seemed like these were the last games GF really put everything they had into a release and the fans really didn't appreciate it. We haven't gotten anything on that level since.

[@biscuitbcat]

I loved all the side quests, like the lost pokeball and the alolan vulpix. You didn't mention that you can pet the interactable pokemon if you talk with them enough, and then when they see you, they'll run up to you and show a little heart emote ❤. Shoutout to the Rockruff putside Iki town.

[@JohnnySilverFinger]

always taught that Ultra Soon/Moon was the best game of the series. Black/White 2 story i think is a little bit better but probably is because my nostalgia speaking.

[@rpt2369]

Mega evolutions, z-moves, Ash-Greninja, Ultra Beast, primal reversion, & shiny hunting older legendary Pokémon! I’ve been playing since RBY this is the best Pokémon game.

[@BeefCake_97]

So underrated I hope that ppl change their minds like they did for gen 5

[@SERMareep2007]

I dont. Let this game be underrated. Dont let the gen 7 fans be hated on

[@kimixlol]

So glad I found this video. I love USUM.

[@akilcharles3473]

Apart from some minor details and insults to this game(which I'll get to later) Pokemon USUM is by far 1 of my favorite Pokemon games of all time. As someone who grew up in the Caribbean I love the island vibes of this region of Alola and it's people/characters. As well as the new Pokemon themselves which I adore than any other game prior. Also for the record I fine the retelling of the story in this was fine, I actually rather had in the Lillie help fighting the evil Team Rainbow Rocket rather than her own mother(which you can't battle directly in the original Sun & Moon btw). Interacting with some of the trails and kahuna battles was very challenging and fun,all of the side quest games like character customization,finding the totem stickers,Mantine surfing & taking pictures/photos with my Pokemon(and yes I do that cause I do that for my team that help me progress) and the Poke pelago which if you don't know the man running it (Mohn) happens to be Lusamine's late lost husband who they reunited in the post game which was sweet. Apart from that there's also the Pokemon to catch including the 4 Tapus,the ultra beasts and all of the legendary Pokemon in Alola which from my calculations has probably the largest number legendaries in this game(also including the ones in the ultra wormhole). There are more things I can talk about but my point still remains, it's one of the best Pokemon games I ever had the most fun playing for a long time and still enjoy it to this day. And side tangent: As so called bad Hau is he as much as everyone else in this game and is much more of a better final challenge than Geeta in S & V, heck after battling 4 of the toughest elite four members it's a nice change of pace just to ease it down with someone that won't make you waste more of your potions. I respect Hau even tho he is a tool.

[@Sobble_99]

Agree

[@phatnana2379]

USUM is my favorite in the franchise for a pretty specific reason... The Battle Tree!! The Battle Tree is definitely the best if all the Battle Facilities, including the Switch games. I STILL breed and build teams for Battle Tree Super Doubles runs! The USUM Battle Tree moee closely resembles actual competitive VGC than any othwr facility. Going a long streak is super satisfying and you TRULY need to have your wits about you. There are definitely some incredibly cheesy/aggravating teams and sefs you encounter but it only adds to how fun it is!

[@PoorGameMechanic]

I love this video. Not many people talk abt USUM. The mega's returning is just the icing on the delicious tall cake

[@TroubledProductions-ok1yv]

Finally someone who understands! Pokémon USUM is hated so much online. I almost never see people defending it anymore. The games have their problems (Ahem, the Cutscenes) but overall they are just so fun, and in my opinion, a huge improvement over sun and moon

[@hi-c4142]

One underrated thing usum has over sumo is its music. Between the improved remixes, team rocket base and new themes (while still keeping most of the music in sumo), it might be the best pokemon ost of all time

[@RoseSupreme]

32:04 Oh my god, I never noticed that. That's so clever.

[@devonerichardson2065]

Not gonna lie here USUM are my favorite games in the series to date the whole Alola region is my favorite S&M and USUM are my favorite pokekemon games of all time I loved the story in both sets of games and still love Z-moves god i love these games

[@aleksandramirkov9725]

Pokemon usum are my favorite Pokemon game.

[@YellowFunnyMan]

I really dont get why people hate on this game so much. It was one of the best games ive ever played and its fun and comes with great pokemon.

[@5ashll303]

100% agree with this video wholeheartedly

[@Idoitsgaming]

Dang this was my first pokemon game how did I beat these trials

[@lexluther5398]

Gen 7 are some of the best games I play

[@stephvondames6369]

I'm 50/50 with the game but I still enjoyed it back when I played it.

[@connorconnor1631]

this whole video is just 'this part sucks and i love it' imo

[@NockLegacy]

USUM is easilly in my top 3 pokemon games, but for me BW2 is peak pokemon by far

[@WhoElseButZane]

Transversal?

[@justdont898]

The only way I beat ultra sun is to all of the Regis, a genesect, and a ditto.

[@cyberdarkturtle6971]

Ive been saying it for years. Today, these games are second only to SV

[@francescoettwedda-1875]

Then they are shit ig

[@Grayknight-ih3os]

Not even second... They are first

[@musicbychanc3]

i agreed until the last part. SV quite literally killed anything that remained of what i loved about Pokemon

[@KlaviersAnthology]

Arceus: exists. Like... COME ON! I RECENTLY 100% usum +mystery gifts from a 6 years old "new" file and it was like a solid 8/10 but IT AIN'T ARCEUS, NOR ORAS!
