How do I force myself to finish XY. I really want to play Sun and Moon but this game is so fucking boring.

By going to a doctor and getting them to fix your shit taste

>>719377219
fpbp, OP XY was a blast, too bad you missed out on the online play which was the undisputed all time peak.
>>
>>719377168
just drop it, retard
>>
>>719377168
XY and ORAS are the best Pokemon games on 3DS, is not much but it it's what it is.

Also, if you REALLY wanna play an Alola game for whatever reason skip SM and go straight to USUM.
>>
>>719377168
Just skip it and move straight forward to SuMo. It has one of the best hebes in the franchise.

I'm already on the 4th gym and I want to see more Shauna.
>>
>>719377168
Don't bother then, it isn't really satisfying
You're welcome to drop SM as well when you find out it's even worse

This so much!

XY is just a really boring fucking game. Everything fizzed out by the 2nd gem badge and you've seen pretty much all the game has to offer. The game really needed a middle 3rd version.

I’d rather PLAY with my own shit then ever touch X and Y ever again. These games made me drop Pokémon for 5+ years. Genuinely not interested in legends Z purely because it takes place in that region.
>Shit new Pokémon
>the worst rivals
>bland region
>No roaming legendary Pokémon (no fucking Birds don’t count nor does mewtwo)
>The worst evil team in flare
>easy to the point an unborn human could finish it
Genuinely baffled at people who defend this SHIT generation.
>>
XY was only good with for online. they sacrificed a post-game and sequel just for online features.
the only thing to do post-game is get zygarde, some other legendaries and rematch the E4 right? the battle chateau is there but feels like a gimped frontier
>>
>>719377168
Who is forcing you to play it?
Just play a better game like everyone else
>>
>>719377168
sun/moon are way worse than X/Y, drop pokemon already.
>>
You're gonna be even more bored with sun/moon, it's basically an island theme park built for kids to play pokemon trainer. Instead of just going out into the world, everything you do is part of the Island Trials.
>>
I need a crash course on pokemon, trying to minimize how much I need to play in order to have a working understanding of them.
I just need the 2d games, and I've played gens 1-3 and the 2d remakes to varying amounts, which just leaves Platinum and gen 5.
I'm guessing I need to play B or W and B2 or W2?
>>
>>719381608
>I'm guessing I need to play B or W and B2 or W2?
BW2 are sequels unlike the previous third versions, so ideally
I think most people here would recommend skipping to 2, but frankly 2 doesn't have much going for it over 1 except post-game and having more pokemon available if you're staunchly against the gen 5 pokedex, so could try 1 first
>>
>>719377168
Skip all dialogue.
Set your first move to a high damage STAB so you can just mash trough wild Pokémon and easy trainers.
Turn off sound and listen to jewtube slop while playing.
>>
>bored of XY
>but wants to play SM
Regardless of whether you continue playing or just skipping don't play Sun/Moon, play Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.

My thoughts on a basic guide to playing Pokemon

Don't play Red/Blue/Yellow, play Fire Red/Leaf Green(which it seems you already did). If you want to play the OGs just for completion/nostalgia sake play Yellow instead of Red/Blue. If you just can't get enough Kanto play Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee. I've not played it but it's apparently very gimmicky and for babies so like I said only play it if you really love Kanto like Game Freak wants you to.

Don't play Gold/Silver/Crystal play HeartGold/SoulSilver. If you really can't get enough Johto just play Crystal and not Gold/Silver.

Don't play Ruby/Sapphire play Emerald only. I would also recommend giving Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire a try even if you weren't super in love with Emerald but not back to back since both those games offer unique experiences and don't completely make one or the other obsolete like the Kanto/Johto games do

Don't play Diamond/Pearl play Platinum only. For gods sake do not play Brilliand Diamond/Shining Pearl unless the mere thought of Sinnoh makes you cream your pants. Those games suck garbage.

Play both Black/White and Black/White 2 since they're sequels, not third versions, so they're both completely unique games.

X/Y never got a third version so just play one or the other

Play Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon instead of the base versions. Only play the base versions if you're a completionist or fucking adored Alola

Sword/Shield never got third versions so just play one or the other

Scarlet/Violet never got third versions so just play one or the other

The Legends games are technically mainline so play those too if you want.

tldr; the minimum games to play if you want to say you've played every gen is(in order)
FRLG, Emerald, Platinum, HGSS, BW, BW2, XY, USUM, SwSh, SV, and the Legends games.
If you only care about 2D just stop at BW2
>>
>>719377168
I hate to tell you, but the 5 year old playing the latest Pokémon game didnt play every generation leading up to it. You don’t have to either. Especially when it’s been essentially the same game since gen 1
>>
>>719377168
XY are bland piss easy dogshit, but SM are borderline unplayable bland piss easy dogshit because of the Atticus interruptions. Just drop the series, replay the older games with romhacks, ir try a fan game.

Just drop it. You weren't around to experience XY's best feature by far: the online system. It's not the same playing without the massive online player base. It's okay to not finish games sometimes.
>>
>>719377168
it's the lowest point of the franchise by far. Just force yourself through it.

>Modern nu-Pokémon games are FUN AND HARD again!
It's that easy.
>>
>>719381608
Yes, Platinum is better than D/P in every way. For Gen 5 make sure you play the sequel of the original you actually played. There are new locations but you do retread old ground. I would say it's worth playing, but maybe not straight after B/W.

Why are you playing games for 3-6 years old?
>>
>>719377168
Why do you have to finish a game you dislike?

After you finish I-III stop and leave the rest to your dreams OP.

Sun and Moon is worse.

Use exp share. You're welcome.

Sun and moon are beyond boring with the constant cutscenes. XY is just too easy. but besides that it was a blast and had so much character customization.
