I’m stil a bit disapointed at the quick cash grab, but the only
thing that really bothers me is they give you these neat items and then
soon after a new game comes out and you cand send the items over to the
new game. thats what bothers me the most hehe
It’s really not a quick cash grab to put out full games more than a year after the original entries in the generation of Pokemon. That happens. Yellow came out a year after Red/Blue in America. Crystal came out a year after Gold/Silver. Emerald came out a year after Fire Red/Leaf Green, which came out a year after Ruby/Sapphire, etc.
You can always transfer non-key items and Pokemon between games within the same generation with little to no limitation, and the only major limitations that really exist with transferring Pokemon between generations is that you can only transfer upwards, and generally can’t transfer items across generations now, but even that’s not much of an issue.
I have no doubt that Usu/UMo will be great, but we’ll have to wait for more info to see just how good it’ll be. This is an opportunity to take Alola, which was an amazing region, and fix the issues people had with it, and it doesn’t rule out Stars or Eclipse on the Switch, it just states that that’s not coming this year.
“What’s there to be excited about with Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon? They’re just going to be Sun and Moon with new Solgaleo/Lunala forms.”
Firstly, we know that the games feature an alternative story set in Alola, and there have already been new/altered locations shown off. How alternative that is is up in the air at the moment, but may be either a completely alternate timeline where characters (and possibly cities/ecologies) are altered, or a story set in the future of Su/Mo much like Black 2/White 2.
Secondly, we know that the games are confirmed to have Pokemon that were not available in Su/Mo naturally. It’s pretty much guaranteed that it won’t be limited to Ultra Solgaleo/Ultra Lunala.
Thirdly, we know that Gold and Silver are coming out on the Virtual Console ahead of USu/UMo’s release, just like R/B/Y came out ahead of Su/Mo and allowed for transfer through the bank, which was announced prior to Alolan forms.
We have 5 months before it comes out, and a lot of opportunity for info to come out. Between the emphasis on it being an alternate story/timeline (coupled with the multiverse aspects that were confirmed in Su/Mo) and the Gold/Silver compatibility, I’m going to guess that we get more Alolan forms, possibly even of Kanto/Johto Pokemon that were in Su/Mo but may have evolved differently in this different Alola.
Patience, time will tell. Worst case scenario is that we end up with the new Black 2/White 2, which I’d say were the best parts of Gen 5.
i'm fairly interested in the new games but man do those names suck, to be fair i cant come up with anything better but my point still stands

The names could be better, but I’d rather have ULTRA Su/Mo with an ULTRA BEAST focused story line rather than just have it but Sun 2/Moon 2. Stars could still happen on the Switch, and hey, Nintendo’s E3 presser is in a week and is supposed to just be Switch games.
Gen 1 remakes: 2004 Gen 2 remakes: 2009 Gen 3 remakes: 2014
It’s 2017, I would kill for a Gen 4 remake, but calm down people. If it doesn’t come along until Gen 8 I’ll still be happy, it’s just really early for it. In the mean time I’m stoked for Stars UltraSun/UltraMoon.
Have I ever mentioned how much I detest PC gaming culture?
the culture is horrible but pc gaming itself
….not bad.
It’s fine for those who like it and have good PCs.
Personally I despise playing games on PC, I detest playing games on a keyboard in general and I don’t care to spend an absurd amount on a gaming rig that’ll last about 6 months before being considered obsolete. Even if consoles tend to be more mainstream and not as powerful as high end PCs they’re more than enough to play any game that I’m really interested in and offer plenty for my tastes.
PC master race people don’t seem to get that.
Console wars are annoying, but I have never been talked down to by console gamers like I’ve been talked down to by PC elitists.
