So if they’re reverting all the QoL changes are they making Psychic broken again?

E: actually with no dark types and two steel types I guess they are?

We got Alolan forms so we do have Raticate-A, Persian-A and Muk-A for Dark and Sandslash-A and Dugtrio-A for steel

It's neat going from Moon to Ultra and seeing what is different, but I'd suggest just starting with Ultra. Really feels like mechanics wise it was what they were really trying to do.

Also giant(ish) pokemon you can get

I treated them both as separate games, and it worked out pretty well for me.

Also I like the Ultra Recon Squad.

Plus Bug-types aren't so dire anymore.

As a matter of fact if I can get my hands on Mega Beedrill early on, I would definitely take it to the end. That sounds like fun, even if it won't have Adaptability.

Wait. What the gently caress. What. No, he

so that's why. When i tried to use one. I. I thought I botched something. I thought I messed up somewhere and got the wrong ability. I thought he was supposed to get Levitate and be super strong. Oh god I've been so wrong for three gens.

Basically the boss fights in this are against Totem Pokemon, who are Big. And then you can collect stickers and at certain amounts you get a Big Pokemon. Nothing else special about them I don't think, they're just absolute units

When you're doing Pokémon battles with bigass Pokémon, can you only see their toes on the screen? If not, wasted opportunity.

Looks like they got Serebii and several other Pokemon fandom members to go out and play Pokemon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu and there will be gameplay up until Pewter City Gym trickling out this week.

What's stupid about USM is that it introduced completely new worlds for the Ultra Beasts...

...then pretty much dropped Ultra Beasts from the story completely to instead focus on Necrozma

They also removed Lillie's wonderful Exeggutor Island scene while updating the islands visuals, which was a massive waste

- they announced Gen 8 immediately after they revealed these games

Things may come to those who wait...but only the things left by those who hustle.

I mean technically there is a chance Nintendo will look at the sales figures for this and decide that there is either an untapped appetite for more of this and this alone, or that there is no appetite for Pokemon on the switch at all; they do make a lot of weird choices. Seems unlikely tho.

Ultra Sun and Moon were already enough to make the 3DS start chugging frames. They’ve pushed the old box as far as it could go. It’s run is over and the series is going to move on.
