S&M is the best actually, and using it as a contraction for the pokemon games is okay too

Why aren't we just using 'SM'? It's never been a problem before.

I mean, DP *might* have been an issue but that turned out okay. :v:

I actually have no idea still. I'm leaning towards Moon because of superstition (I'm a Cancer) and bats are cool, And really when I'm playing I usually end up missing dawn and morning times (if that matters). I usually ask my friend right before I buy and get the opposite version unless I'm already dead set on one.

We're already using "ORAS" for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Why is SuMo a bad acronym?

for the main-line non-remake games we've always used the first letters only, no reason to stop that now

I think because "Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire" has 22 letters and is a mouthful, while "Sun and Moon" has a nice 10. Or... something

It's only ORAS because RS is already taken, like how it's HGSS because GS was already taken.

Might be just me but SM or S&M just screams sadomasochist. SuMo is easy and visually appealing and the only other thing I associate it with is 2 Snorlax's wrestling.Or Hariyama.

And probably going Moon for this generation. Lunala is a cool and rad bat, and it helps that, since I play video games at night mostly, I'll have day time stuff to do. :v:

Red, Yellow, Gold, Ruby, Emerald, Fire Red, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold, Black, Black 2, Y, Omega Ruby, Sun.

SuMo is literally 3 letters removed from SunMoon. They are short words. We managed DP, SM will be just fine.

Also, I just... I just really want to play the new Pokemon Games.

Is that freedom rock? Well turn it up!
For what it's worth, in order: Yellow, Gold, Silver, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Firered, Diamond, Platinum, Pearl, Red (garage sale), Soul Silver, Black, Black 2, Y, Alpha Sapphire.

The reason for the gap/ weird order is I swore off Pokemon after my Silver save battery died after barely a year, and then I heard the new Pokemon Advanced games weren't going to be backwards compatible or have all the Pokemon. I got back in shortly after Diamond/ Pearl were announced and played catch up. My "master game" was Leafgreen with over 600 hours. I would breed new teams for each new GBA gen game. It took a long rear end time to get all my 'mons (most level 5 for pokedex/ evolution purposes) into Diamond via Friend Safari. I still have all of my main teams, all super trained up (I bred new ones for tourneys in Y) and am glad Hyper Training will allow my main Ampharos from Emerald to get even tougher.

Sorry for the novel

I was more excited about rockruff when I thought he was an early game trash mon because a) he's a rock type that isn't geodude and b) his first stage is way cuter than any of the other first area trash mammals and it is not close

he blows nerds like patrat or bidoof out of the water

instead of going one at a time, it should just give you everything at once

make a big list of moves and pick the four you want to keep from that

Even if you had to go through all the moves available during your jump from lv1 to ~40 one at a time in order but all in one chunk at the end, it'd still be preferable to when you forget to send your leveling guy to the back of the team and you have to endure the exp bar filling, the notification, and the stat-up window every goddamn time, on top of having to turn down the new moves, hammering away at A like a maniac and contemplating every wrong decision you ever made.

Leaning towards Sun because I like Solgaleo because it reminds me of GaoGaiGar, but I'm still not completely defined simply because there isn't anything version-exclusive I particularly care about. If UBs were catchable then I'd definitely get Sun though, because Absorption is super cool.
