I have been thinking for a LONG time about what's my favorite Pokemon game of all time, and I have reached the conclusion that it is USUM.I'm not claiming that USUM is the BEST Pokemon game (although it's definitely one of the best for sure) but what I'm saying is that it's my personal favorite.The main reason for that, is the fact that USUM has a lot of content (like the older games Emerald, Platinum, BW2, HGSS), but at the same time, USUM has all the modern QoL features that those older games lack. Stuff like Bottle Caps, EV modification, etc. And of course, USUM also has Mega Evolution, which is the best battle gimmick imo.So I'm making this thread to ask, is there anyone else here who feels the same way about USUM? This is also an invitation for you guys to share what's your favorite Pokemon game, and why?
Sucks how kids born after red and blue have to cope and try to choose a different favorite
>>58758816many such cases
>>58758796Didn't ask, but here's what I think of it (posted it again award)
>58758846>bw2 first placeTerrible b8
>>58758796>I’m not claiming that USUM is the BEST Pokemon game You should because it is
>>58758796I haven't played this game yet but I was planning to and I was having high hopes for it (for a pokemon game, at least), along with BW/2.

>>58758796>USUM>not SM
>>58758816Autism
>>58758813OP here. Blue is the first Pokemon game I ever finished.
>>58759206shut up faggot
>>58758940USUM is vastly superior to SM, in the same way like Emerald and Platinum are vastly superior to RS and DP respectively.
Probably the best game of the post-Fairy era. That isn't hard with mediocre games like XY, actual garbage like SS and BDSP, and borderline experimental shit like the Legends games or SV. Being a Pokemon game that attempted to make the campaign interesting and attempted to have a post-game is something not even some older Pokemon games do both of, and as such probably beats out most first versions that aren't BW (only narrowly beating out GS on the virtue of GS having such a great remake it's only worth replaying for aesthetic reasons). The bar is unfortunately on the floor but at least it clears it even if it's not Bill Gates jumping over a chair from standing height, at least it's not XY tripping over it or SS stepping on the wrong part revealing it's actually a rake and getting hit in the fucking face.

>>58758796How much does USUM improve upon SM?
>>58758796>>58759228Wasn't a common complaint with USUM that they fucked up as many aspects of SM as they improved? From what I recall the campaign in specific was a lot less well received outside of the Necrozma fight
>>58758796gen 7 is garbage
>>58758796Same, though I didn't play SM till afterwards and I don't feel particularly motivated to get a Switch. The cutscenes are a bit much, I'm not a fan of the region being 4 big circles, and the pss replacement was absolute ass, but just about everything else is perfect.
>>58759551>How much does USUM improve upon SM?A lot. USUM has all the content from SM, and then adds all of these things on top:>Rainbow Rocket postgame Episode>Battle Agency>Alola Photo Club>Mantine Surf>Ultra Warp Ride>Kantonian Gym>Many new areas>Expanded old locations>Improved Totem Battles>Etc.
>>58758885BW2 is that good, i don't want to overhype it (it's still a Pokémon game and everyone has their taste), but to me it's still unbelievable it was made by Game Freak
>>58760509It also has a lot of side quests iirc, the director was Iwao after all
>>58760522Yes, that's true! I think USUM has 100+ side quests, that were not in SM.Honestly, it's unbelievable how some people still claim SM is better than USUM, just because they prefer SM's plot.
>>58760549when a game's plot is as overbearing as gen 7's it needs to be good
Gen 7 is my one blindspot, and I want to play both games before gen 10. I played a bit of SM but I never touched USUM. I know a big complaint about USUM is how it fucks with the story's conclusion, so I've been iffy about skipping the originals. Would it ruin the experience to play Ultra first? Since it's the overall better game, and one that's completely new to me, I feel like it's more likely to hook me and make me fall in love with Alola. I want to play and appreciate these games without it feeling like required reading
>>58760553Just play USUM, bro. The complaints about USUM "ruining" SM's plot are really overblown anyway.
>>58760550USUM's plot is good. This is my subjective opinion, but so are the opinions of everyone complaining about USUM's plot.
>>58758796>I'm not claiming that USUM is the BEST Pokemon game (although it's definitely one of the best for sure) but what I'm saying is that it's my personal favorite.At least you can differentiate between liking something and something being good. A lot of autists can't separate the two.
>>58760564>At least you can differentiate between liking something and something being goodYeah, but USUM is very good to begin with.
>Pokemon fans are so mindbroken by years of garbage that they're calling USUM a good gameThe absolute state of this franchise
>>58758796No yawnfaggot, like we told you before, no amount of years passing will ever makes usum any less shit than they are. >>58761445It's a bait thread, no one actual thinks those pieces of shit are any good.
>>58762686Everybody thinks USUM is amazing (outside of this shit hole). You literally ARE the insignificant minority that disagrees.
>>58760509>>Rainbow Rocket postgame Episode>>Kantonian GymYes yes YES MORE KANTOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>58762716Exactly. Kanto is amazing, and so is Alola!
interesting how this link got deleted when you call sharty out lelhttps://arch.b4k.dev/_/search/image/e47VLVS0gtaWwKL7aUBgMQ/
>>58762805OP here. I'm not who you think I am LOL
>>58762805Yeah, imagine posting about your favorite Pokemon game on the 4chan Pokemon board. Shameless behavior indeed
>samefagging>im not him, its just a coincidence its all the same filenamessharty really didnt like that one huh
>>58762888It's literally the first file that comes when you glgoogle search Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, you absolute autist lol
>Only replies to the comments saying it’s bait >doesn’t know how filenames work Interesting
It's absolutely amazing how your average Sherlock Holmes wannabe will tell you that you're someone else, and will accuse you of posting about a Pokemon game on the 4chan Pokemon board.Yes. I love USUM. Yes, I will keep posting about USUM. Stay mad about it, you literal autist.
In fact, I might make another USUM thread now, just to spite you :)
>>58759228Everything you said is wrong. USUM has some added features but the main game plays better and is more much logical in SM. USUM feels like a disjointed mess. Emerald adds a lot of features but RS play just fine without them. Platinum plays exactly the same as DP in the main game apart from saving speed. The whole mindset Pokemon players have about about third versions making previous versions obsolete is dead wrong. If you only want to play one, sure go for the third version but if you play the games multiple times like some players do you'll see how little the third versions add. Their main appeal is new features and post-game stuff.
>>58762950>Their main appeal is new features and post-game stuffSo literally the best things about Pokemon?
