excluding Arceus i’d rank the 3d era pokémon games like

USUM
SWSH
ORAS
XY

never played the original sun and moon but i can’t imagine it being that far down

it’s kinda tiring now how every pokémon game feels like i’m just testing out the engine for GF and being sold the promise of a better game someday

USUM at least felt like proper games but it still took years to get there

Scarlet and Violet already seems like the Pokémon game we were promised when we saw the wild area in SWSH which is tiring, but hopeful

Would have been better if they took Weavile design and modified it. Instead it's like they took sneasel and stretched it out and put a body suit on it.

SM is pretty much the same just easier but with a better story

Sun and Moon story wise is better than USUM. USUM has a better difficulty scale. USUM killed some of the best story plots in SuMo to incorporate Ultra Necrozma.

But I agree with your listing. That's probably how my 3D ranking would be.

XY - Half baked and REALLY needed that 3rd version

ORAS - feels kind of hollow I literally lose my feeling to play it after the 6th badge. Idk why, something with that game feels off.

USUM - would have been a DOPE upgrade to SuMo if they left the story alone and put Ultra Necrozma as the post game story instead of fan service with rainbow rocket.

SWSH is literally just a better Gen 7 with a worst plot and some half baked mechanics.

How you feel about the character designs in gen 9?

They looking a little too generic for me

I don't like the character designs. Looks two bland. Not childish as all the protags look childish post-Gen V. They're just bland, bland as hell.

They'll probably grow on me as the character customization is revealed.

Glazed??

mid as hell

Was checking the thread and i remembered our conversation about Reborn, the final update is out and the game is completed.

Imo the game is so much better than before, lots of changes to the story to make it better and i would say that the game aint cheap anymore, actually i had more of an easy time with the game for the most part (i do have to factor that i have experience in Pokemon in general and Reborn tho).

They even toned down the edginess in the game, i remember thats what u disliked the most, its still present ngl but its way better than in the past.

After playing it again it reinforced my opinion, that this game is the best fanmade pokemon that exist, its filled with content and it was made with love, the developers are really talented, if they started another fangame now that isnt "weighted down" because of decisions of the past or the story they decided when they were much younger, i think they could make an even better game with a story that isnt as off putting

Wanted to update u lil about the game in case u wanted to check it out

I've heard the developer changed a ton about the game and made the beginning of the game much more enjoyable. I remember that part of the game being incredibly grindy.

I'll have to check it out.

@op

Hope the box art legendaries aren’t as bland as sword & shield

Ahhh yeah I meant to post this last night

debating if i’ll look at the new info tomorrow

i wanna get Violet regardless

lets go

November 18th

in for video game news all June

The world will never be the same after this

Honestly hope they ditch box legendaries and go back to starters on some Red and Blue type s***

They're not, don't get your hopes up.

Nah stay lowkey

Soon

All roads point to PLA,ShSw,BDSP specific mons being able to transfer to SV.

Guess it’s time to finally beat these games and collect Pokémon.

Want to actually get into competitive outside of showdown.

Hopefully they brought back Mega evolutions in SV

Nah not every Pokemon will transfer over.

Mega evolution isn't coming back. They have a new gimmick.

LETS GO
