>>59107826Yeap, based. They were great games and the last good generation.
>>59107826Why call it SuMo instead of S&M?
>>59107826As long as Kojo exists, we can't agree on this.>>59107903Attention whore. God I remember back when SM came out and everyone called them SuMo.
>>59107826I think you're a faggot
>>59107826The best part about these games were the commercials

>>59107870>getting 5 minutes of kino every secondHow is this not the greatest game ever?
>>59107826I love getting warned for genwarring for telling Kojo to hang himself and blatant bait threads like these are allowed to stay up as well as borderline porn. This board has an issue at the moderation level and this is hard proof of it.
>>59107826They filter ADHD zoomers
>>59108017You mean every board? Tranny mods on /v/ were caught shilling for Assassin’s Creed Shadows when they kept deleting negative threads and pinning positive ones. SEAnig mods on /vt/ autofiltered the word “SEAnigger” after people started pointing out how many problems in the vtuber community linked back to them. Literally the only advantage this website had over reddit was the pretense of free speech, but now they don’t even pretend to have it anymore, so I don’t get why anybody still posts here, instead of a different chan site.
>>59108051>Assassin’s Creed Shadows when they kept deleting negative threads and pinning positive ones.There were positive ones?
>>59108032life is too short to spend watching cutscenes
>>59108060Playercounts from a day after the game came out. Mods redtexted those threads saying “It’s over. The game is a success.” And then proceeded to delete threads from people who actually played the game and showed off the cringe writing like Yasuke’s transgender love interest.
>>59107826Yeah, SM had the best main game. Too bad USUM fucked it up.

>>59108111Yeah, and RGBY proved you didn't need someone stopping you every area border or building to yap about something that isn't that important.I didn't need a mandatory run-down on who Brock is beyond "the rock type guy i need to fight", I didn't need a run-down on what Team Rocket is about beyond the self-proclamation that they're "Pokemon Gangsters", and I didn't need a description for Blue that's more in-depth than Oak's extremely brief "You've been rivals since you were babies" line.
>>59107912Who is Kojo?
USUM is the peak of the post-Fairy post-gimmick post-3D model for Pokemon era, even if it's held back by the fucking godawful cutscenes that I'd hate even if I liked the story. The campaign battles are solid, there's optional exploration that was seriously lacking in XY and SS on a macro level, tons of little sidequests to help flesh out the world even if they reward you with literally nothing, when emulated it looks pretty good, and if you don't play it like Kojo it's an engaging experience as far as the difficulty curve goes. It's really just the cutscenes and the micro of the map design that mostly ranges from mediocre to bad holding it back from being great, and depending on your taste that might still put it over RS (you'd be wrong but at least I understand why). A cutscene removal mod is my white whale, I'd probably replay the game the moment it comes out because I'm getting a little tired of the older games after a decade of nothing better coming out.
>>59108119RBY is infamous for having basically no story, so I dunno what you were thinking with that example. Sounds more like you just hate the very concept of story in Pokemon
for me SM/USUM are the last good games and Totem pokemon definitely were a highlight of the game, should have been the replacement for gyms for at least a few more gens. I also loved Battle Royales>but the hallways/straight linesthis never made sense. most of the routes are not literally straight lines. there's lots of optional areas on the first and third island in particular. if i have one complaint with the map, it's how mount lanakila was handled and this is something they just happened to fix in USUM by adding more rooms and trainers>but ultra changesthis also doesn't make sense. aside from fixing mount lanakila, USUM added:an additional totem fightmove tutorsa method for Charjabug and Crabrawler to evolve earlier in the gameMantine Surf, a mini game for farming BP if you wanted to take a break from battle facilitiesobtainable Totem pokemonmany NPC trainers have different teamsRainbow Rocket CastleUBs also now have their own worlds in the Ultra Wormholes. even if there isn't much to explore in them, this is still better than in SM where they just show up at random parts of the map you already visited earlier in the gamePhoto Club, probably not going to be an interesting feature to most people, but still it's a pretty inoffensive addition to the game if you really crave non-battle contentif there's one change i didn't like, it would be the way they handled Rotom, he was less annoying in SM, the Lotto powers are useful though
>>59107912>>59108128Is Kojo yawnfag? I’ve been gone from this board for a while
>>59108529Yes
>>59108524>infamousNo, it was praised for not bogging you down with exposition and allowing the player to define their own story, actually, and it still is.
>>59108530Why the name change, then?
>>59108530kek did yawnfag get doxxed?
