I remember jumping into Ultra Moon right after Moon, like I beat Moon and bought Ultra Moon on release less than a week layer. An amazing improvement in every way except story, which I feel they fucked up in Ultra Moon

Yeah same.

The only thing I found inferior to SM was the plot of the main game, but eh, opinions are opinions, and SM are my personal preferences.

@@calum0038 YUP! I felt the same way... the Lusamine arc was handled very, very poorly in us um... sm story WAS in fact better executed, HOWEVER! us um DID add some new REALLY COOL plot elements that I just LOVED! the ultra recon squad was pretty cool but the BEST twist(at least for me)was the whole rainbow rocket take over thing AND that there were villains from past games that also joined the fray... from an ALTERNATE dimension..... AND a dimension where they actually succeeded in catching their respective legendary because either the main hero's in those alternate dimensions either didn't exist(they weren't born)or... they just failed to beat their villain and they won. . . . and THAT.... was TH"E" most single handedly bad ass, hardcore plot twist to end all possible plot twists(for a Pokemon game that is..).... AND it was handled VERY well too! .....just maybe. . . THAT was why they probably did such a slapped ass job with the Lusamine plot twist on this one... because. . . . . it wanted to sell You THAT ending instead....

Ultra versions are cool

It is amazing. Its an underrated gen and I would say it is tied with gen 5 (only black and white 2) and all gen 3 games for the best pokemon games. Not a fan of gen 4 slow pace tbh and gen 6 is just too easy. Gen 8 is the worst.

@@showmeyourmoves8551 gen 7 and gen 5 are like the only generations where pokemon tried to have good plot in their games

B2W2 and USUM just feel complete. So many minor details that really immerse you into the game and region, which has lacked in the switch games. SV kinda suck tbh, forgetful characters, and the story is too lengthy and boring besides Arvens.

@@Nando6695 Arven is the only reason why the SV story has meaning, the game is completely ass and I stopped playing it and went back to USUM recently and play that now

@@Nando6695 USUM doesn't feel complete lmao

Gamificast the thing I dislike the most is the lack of the PSS. :/ I just wish this useful thing came back. 😭

I like ultra sun better

@@Luis-tr1yj same so I wouldn't have to ever think about going back to Alpha Sapphire

U summed up all the things I liked about the game . The totem battles were sooo good. The double battle combinations r so unique and really make the battle so interesting

​@@tejas124 I'm glad you liked Totem battles. They might not have been perfect, but at the very least they were a nice change of pace from type-themed Gym Battles. Pokemon needs more unique boss fights like Ultra Necrozma, that require actual strategy to beat (like other RPG's such as Final Fantasy have). Spamming a Water-type move against a Rock-type Gym isn't interesting or fun in the slightest.

What's so bad about the gym battles? That's how it is in the anime and the games are pretty much based on the anime just like red and blue are the counter parts of Ash and Gary , why change something that ain't broke? And has made you millions of dollars over the last 20 plus years?

@@streetfightervsxenoverse1832 okay, 1. games came first anime was an afterthought. And 2. it's so unbelivably stale. If you want to talk about the anime then there is so much more stuff aeound and between the gym battles and so much more stuff in the battles themselves. They have actual rules in the anime unlike the games. They can still do gym battles but they haven't changed since gen 1. They could have made the galar league so much more interesting with the idea of tournaments and such and instead of battling type specific gym leaders you could have gone through a bunch of different tournaments to qualify for the championship. It would have given players more attatchment to characters like marnie and bede who don't really get much time to shine in galar and made for a more unique experience to make the latest games shine a bit more.

@@devastatheseeker9967 yea I know the original red,blue and yellow came out before the anime but it's still the same concept red and blue are basically ash and gary , you battle the same gym leaders from the show and in yellow pikachu follows you around like Ash pikachu in the anime , Now I haven't been keeping up with pokemon in years I have only seen clips here and there but I am pretty sure they still do gym battles in the anime so again why change something that ain't broke? I prefer gym battles over the trails they have in sun and moon the only thing about pokemon games that should change is once you get to the elite 4 they make you face off against a bunch of in game high level trainers that are also qualified to compete in the elite 4 pokemon league challenge and also add more regions to explore in the postgame like they did in soulsilver and also have returning trainers from past games like red,blue, gold and silver, mixed in with the postgame you got from black/white version 2

@@streetfightervsxenoverse1832 you should change it because it's stale as fuck. Yellow was released after the anime, the whole point of yellow was to capitalise on the success of the anime hence why you get pikachu and officer jenny is a character. Like I said, you don't need to change the general structure of gyms but you can change how they work and make them more complex. If you check out lockstin's stuff about is fanmade region his gym leaders all have themed teams instead of type based ones. Hell Raihan is the only gym leader with a themed team and he is way more interesting. Every major battle besides Raihan, leon and hop are all single type focused which means no real in depth strategy. "If it aint broke don't fix it" is redundant. It isn't that it's broke. It's incredibly stale

@@streetfightervsxenoverse1832 gyms aren't bad, they're just dull. Its an overused concept.

I'm happy she didn't leave but they kind of ruined Lusamine for me

I agree on that. Not gonna lie, Lillie's leaving is what keeps me from playing Moon again to these days, I feel dumb for this though.

exactly!

I never reply my Pokémon games unless I can trade my main team to another game but I don’t know if I’d ever be able to play moon again.lillie’s story really hit me and since it was my first ever Pokémon game I can’t just go through that again.I played the sun games like 2 or 1 years ago,I would probably reset them

Hey! It's my first time playing S/M/US/UM, which one should I play first? Are US/UM upgraded versions of the same game or are they sequels, like Black 2 and White 2?

@matt D: SO RUDE

Geass was a great anime, the pitch threw me off but I watched it enough to recognize it. Even cosplayed Zero a few times but I want to move to other things so I kinda shelved that costume. :P

Still the best anime

One of the best anime

Facts

Yeah Boi >:D

Punishment.... I Never did like Primeape. . . I was able to beat it by using my Magnezone and boosting up all my stats with the roto stat enhancer thing(roto boost I think its called). . . even after just ONE of those that thing STILL hit pretty dang hard... so I kept heal stalling so as to get another chance to use another... got taken out by a fricking crit eventually(yea.. cuz even the LORD knew it Needed it... lol). . . . so I then had to play a BeAuTiFuL game of revive the Magnezone(giving it mouth to mouth... cpr, slapping it senseless the works.. was saying:GET UP DAMN IT! YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE!)while allowing that there Necrozma over there to brutally molest what remained of my team in the process. . . . . . . . . . . . Eventually... I was able to get the Magnezone back out there and with enough boosts(like about three I think, AFTER heal stalling enough to get all the chances to boost up what I needed)to take it out with flash cannon. I THINK it was a two shot... cant really remember too well how this match went.. this happened years ago. . But about You... with Primapes high attack and with punishment at Your disposal I can see how a one shot was in fact possible... though, am actually very perplexed as for HOW You were able to out speed the thing... it gets a plus one on ALL stats(I think.. especially in speed)and Necrozma ALREADY out speeds Primape at an equal footing... Primapes also Not very durable. . . so it hit You with a power gem and You lived on a slither(cuz that's about the ONLY attack it has that Primape resists)THEN You were able to take it out?(I also cant remember if Necrozma had any status moves it could have used in turn one)or were You just at a SUPER high level? Edit: ....Quick Claw luck is another possibility that just occurred to me.... IF it was holding it. . .

@@TheDeepThinker-sq3iy I really didnt outsped it... I had (BY A HUGE CHANCE) equipped Primape with Focus Band hoping to hit it hard enough... what i wasnt expecting was Band activating *AND PHOTON GEYSER CRITTING* So my primeape with anger point took that personally and fucking Saitama'd the poor bastard

People talk about how hard that fight was, and it would've been, if I didn't always overlevel my starter. My incineroar was able to go toe to toe with necrozma.

My Incineroar z move ohkoed ultra necrozma, it was harder to catch it in victory road without using Master ball

I thought UsUm cutscenes were pretty mediocre. It was the only game in the franchise that I couldn’t wait to finish cause I had the least amount of fun playing it, where with Sword and Shield it was the most fun I’ve had in a new game in a while

@RainHuffle rob I think what kills me about Sword and Shield is how much they block you from having a normal adventure. Explosions causing Earthquakes? Nothing to see here, just finish your gym battles. Finishing your gym battles? WHOOPS, WE NEEDED A BAD GUY, UHHHHH. I still don’t feel like SuMo had very good cutscenes (the non-Ultra versions just freaking bogged you down and stopped you every time you made it to a new area and that really irked me) but yeah, SwSh just felt empty on that front. At least the DLC added two new Wild Areas, and really, the entire game should have been just Wild Areas in that style instead of the tiny routes with a hanful of trainers that you blink and miss it.

The darkest day storyline had me so bored like okay, let th champion take care of it then, let me focus on the gym challenge 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

@@PaPaSea Your First playthrough of SwSh is pretty Cool(Beside The Story) Until you decide to play it again. O.M.G You still can’t skip cutscenes, and the TUTORIAL IS SO LONG AND BORING. You would have to wait years just to be able to have the motivation to replay this again. The post game of SwSh was kind of shit too, the game looks Great, and the music was good, but everything else was very lacking. Especially the beginning of the game. I can’t even replay the game anymore because of how boring the tutorial is. Out of all of the 3D Pokémon games, Ultra Sun and Moon is my favorite. Mainly because of a better Tutorial 😄

@@PaPaSea That's a very interesting opinion and of the complete opposite of my own LOL. For me I just feel like the characters in sun and moon were developed a lot better while in sword and shield the plot wasn't really deep and didn't make much sense.

True but x & y never got sequels or a 3rd version so it's kinda hard to compare

@RainHuffle rob Yeah, as much as I enjoyed beating Team Flare, they didn’t feel very fleshed out, and if you’re going to give me a generic “I want power” group, they can just give me Team Rocket again. No need to invent a new team that has the same plot. As opposed to at least seeing some differences between Magma and Aqua and their environmental goals, Galactic trying to destroy the world rather than control it, Plasma having at least an interesting facade and playing politics to get power (but having N as a nice wild card), Flare felt... too safe. Too boring. Didn’t really care when I beat them. I was actually surprised and got a little more invested for Skull when I had to finish the fight against Guzma. Team Yell isn’t real and nothing you can say will convince me otherwise.

@@johnbuscher team yell? What's that?

@@germany9vs709 the map is also good. It felt more real than any other pokemon game.

A level 35 Mimikyu, toxic TM and 5 other random pokemon killed ultra necrozma just fine for me.

@@SomeGuy-us5bs that works too but since I usually try to brute force it I didn't have that either. I probably could have used Toxic on my Gengar and I can't really be sure I didn't try that also but perish song was more or less a sure thing. I didn't know if toxic would finish it in time

RIP kobe

Rip🙏🏽🖤

I think their point is, if you’re going to take control away from the player for so long, make it visually worth our while.

@@johnbuscher Oh well. It's not GF problem anymore so i say we just be happy with what we've been given.

Yea I can see where your coming from.the odds go up the higher you go...if your good at it that is

Yeah, and switching from motion controls to joystick makes it way too easy

same. i have never actually found a shiny outside of the wormhole. i kinda did in platinum with a shiny buneary but... a double battle killed it

@Skipper Our saviorand I asked

EEEEEEEEEEEE I JUST REALIZED I GET TO SEE CYRUS IN PLATINUM

@@ARCHIVED9610 You see him more than you do in Diamond and Pearl!

@@fishethefish7463 YAY!

Salt Crystal lol I gave my copy to my brother because I could't beat it ;u;

Wanna know how I did it?

Salt Crystal yes please, although I won't get to use it until my little brother finished his play through, which is at Olivia's trial currently

@@salty3648 Well? We're all waiting in anxious anticipation for the reveal!

So, it does depend on luck but I used my Salamence that was about level 58 with Max friendship, I used devastating Drake, Ultra Necrozma would've one-shotted me, but my Salamence survived at 1 health because I maxed our friendship, so when the Devastating Drake hit, it ended up one-shotting it

100% agreed. Plus, it's one of the Pokemon gens I've played the most, other being Gen 6 (I'm a Kalos baby).

Plus it's way better than gen 6

Kalos gang!!!!

@@freezeburn9875 heck yeah boi

My favorite Pokémon games are gen 4 and 5. I really do love gen 7 they just feel so fresh and open. Love all three so much

Third version were present since pokemon yellow. Ultra being 2 version is not that different and big deal anymore since trading is easier than ever. Of all the games in the series, gen 7 is the one you should not call lazy. It has an amazing production value and it pushes 3ds to its limits. Regardless of how you feel about the game, lazy is not the correct description to it.

@@showmeyourmoves8551 Pokemon Yellow was not two separate releases and third versions were always a scam. Ultra was just the worst iteration of it. And for all intents and purposes, the base Sun and Moon were the games that I actually liked from the past 3DS/Switch era, which is why I'm even more mad that Ultra exists, because it's a worse third version of those games that is arbitrarily split up into its own release, advertised like it was a more substantial package than it really was.

@@showmeyourmoves8551 In English?

I just transferred my ash Greninja from sun and moon to take on the league

Its the opposite for me. I a m having pokemon fatigue and cant even finished oras even tho emerald is my favorite pokemon game. Gen 7 is the most original pokemon game since the original and it makes me appreciate it. Its also challenging.

It was too loud compared to the video so skipped it :(

@@DiafolEternal How did you know it was too loud compared to the rest of the video before hearing the rest of the video?

People mostly criticize today's pokemon games cause back in the day there wasn't really a way of updating a handheld game. But since the 3DS, not only can games receive all manner of updates but also make use of DLCs. For example, og japanese versions of the old games have bugs and glitches not present in the international versions, because all the other versions were made afterwards and are therefore patched. There wasn't any other way of doing this without making new cartridges with different versions of the roms. But I do understand what you mean. Personally, after I played through Ruby, Emerald and Pearl, as a kid, seeing them release Platinum made me actually very annoyed. Which is the reason I ended up not buying it and HGSS. I only came back to the series during my highschool years, some time before XY after playing through Black2.

@@kutaoizumi4189 black and white 2 actually change so just wanted to mention that

@@poggersplaysgames2815 Yeah, I know that already.

@@kutaoizumi4189 oh ok

I thought that was in regular Sun and Moon so I didn’t talk about it, my mistake

yes

Ultra sun and moon felt more jrpg than any other pokemon game. There are a lot of side quest.

I didn’t say that. I literally said multiple times in the video that UsUm was better than Sun and Moon and that gen 7 as a whole was still my least favorite.

@@PaPaSea Ah, I see, the description said otherwise, and I had thought that you were referring to USUM in the video when you said least favorite, that's my bad.

The description is worded like that because I used to think they were the worst, like I said in the video, until I gave it another chance and played it fully.

@@PaPaSea That's fair, and it's also my bad for misunderstanding.

No worries I noticed I worded it awkwardly in the description, and had a couple of typos, anyway

That’s the thing. I hardly remember the trial captains. I remember almost all of the other gyms in Gens 1-5 (6 is a blur since I only ever played through it once and that was when it came out, what, 6-8 years ago?) Trial Captains? Meh. Story beats? Something about Ultra Beasts because “Perfection”. I remember liking Guzma and forgetting everything about him immediately after I beat him.

It will always be memorable jist for the fact that it is the most original game since the original red and blue. Also, swsh jusy makes me appreciate gen 7 more.

I would say just go right to Ultra. The games are so similar that playing both back to back would feel like playing the same game twice in a row

While that argument made sense a few years ago, now with what’s happened with Fire Emblem Fates, and the eShop closure, I think people are likely more accepting of USUM.

@@britishguy54dx I agree, but at the same time I think Pokemon mightve done the same thing they did with the Crown Tundra and Isle of armor and rerelase Sun and Moon with the DLC preinstalled.

they're harder than I thought but still one of my least favorite pokemon games

So is Emerald and Platinum. Your point?

@@matthewwilliams8267 I dont understand what you wrote, if you mean that Emerald and Platinum is the same, i would hice you the thumbs Up, even though the Game changes a little more thanks to Giratina being the principal legendary pokemon

@@arturonavarropovedano2396 yeah, Emerald and Platinum are basically DLC. And Necrozma is as important in USUM as Giratina is in Platinum.

Same here, they were my first pokemon games since Heartgold and I loved them so much

@MatchaPaws glad you responded like a civil person . normal people yell at me for liking gen 7
