How did I just realize that the UB in UB-01 stands for Ultra Beast?

I skipped so many generations. It sounds like I've been missing out. I was pretty keen on Team "Baby Boomers That Cause Global Warming Then Apologetically Make A 10 Year Old Fix It".

Internet Kraken posted:Pokemon is dreadful when it tries to do serious villain plots so I wouldn't get your hopes up either way. Just enjoy Guzma while he remains a goofy gangster. Really, everything that's been revealed plot wise reminds me more of B2/W2 where there's a flying pirate ship powered by a captive legendary pokemon that lays waste to several towns with it's giant ice cannon, a crazy pokemon mad scientist who isn't that bad of a dude when you get right down to it and is only helping the villains because goddamn does he loving love science, the admins of plasma are just ninjas, and after the main villain's defeat his brain breaks and he is taken away by his ninja sons for his own sake. And I loved all that stuff, so i'm pretty hyped!! Pokemon Sun and Moon needs a full animated trailer that doesn't accurately represent the game like Black and White 2 got.

Those aren't the same design at all Flopsy posted:Also Lusamine has the least compassionate looking face I've ever seen on a female pokemon character who's not a villain. She looks like the world could burn down around her and she could give a poo poo so long as she got hers. Very jazzed to have a sciencey villainess this gon' be good. What the gently caress are you talking about

It's not a pokemon because it doesn't have a type or ability!

Couldn't tell in amongst all the stupid bullshit like 156 new designs (A lot of them reaching "Shoe" levels of taking the piss and yes and I'm talking about that stupid ice cream cone and the bin bag), scaling EXP (like, punishingly so), a villain team that, whilst trying to present a nuanced argument about humans and pokemon, was blatantly evil except for N who ranges from the genuinely stupid to a complete creep and Best Wishes the less of which said the better. Scaling exp was actually cool because it meant that you wouldn't overlevel past any challenge, and rotating something into your team didn't shoot yourself in the foot. Also, the ice cream cones are amazing

Most characters if they're going to be good guys are drawn with a perky warm expression. Hers is flat out creepy. Hence I think she will be a villain. That's it. That's my point.

You need to read the thread title, friend. Also I hope we'll eventually get a shoe Pokemon, with gender differences/evolutions. So either high heels, or lumberjack boot. That would be the best Pokemon.

It was good that BW made you use the new Pokes, but that also made it necessary to make a bunch of designs that were just kind of retreads (looking at you, Unfezant family.) Also, the back sprites were of poor quality. And shaking grass/water bubbles were just the worst.

ConanThe3rd posted:I've played enough Megaten to know where this is all going... The villain team wasn't meant to be nuanced. They were just evil and liars, before the 1st gym you had grunts being jerks to random pokemon and all that. Also, Trubbish is a good design. I don't get why so many people dislike it.

Reinanigans posted:I'm pretty sure it's universally agreed (by me) that BW had the best single generation designs, the best rivals/friends, the best plot, and the best gym leaders, so... This is mostly true. But the absolute garbage pokemon pacing kills it for me. They spoonfeed pokemon way too slowly, lock a ton of great designs at the end of the game, jacked up the EXP curve something fierce (Hydreigon evolving at 64, Volcarona at 59, etc. means in any game with a mix of generations Gen V dudes lag loving hard and are almost impossible to use). I would replay it more, but you only experience the story once before you tune it out. And B/W sorta force you to use the same team up to the 4th gym which is ridiculous and lock a good 30% of all pokemon to super late and post game. loving let me use Briavary! Durant! Bisharp! Meinfoo! Also it introduced the idea of the event TM which is uggggggggggggh. Gen III and V are the worst in that respect. Also why I dislike ORAS.
