Ok we all know /vp/ hates S/M's slow story and constant cutscenes and odd story decisions and seemingly cut content......but what did you think of the general aesthetic, the presentation, the music, and the vibes???https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZnm32wqRSUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzSpw1spBNEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkUhX3z_RBwI'm personally a big fan of the vibrant battle intros
>>59323707I loved>Chicken-chan>Lillie >Mallow>the tropical setting>regional forms>Silvally>the SM plotAnd also this pretty tourist lady. It was a good game for its time overall.

cute sightseer
Alola reminded me of when I went to Hawaii as a kid. Big fan. Wish I could go again sometime.
>>59323707>we>/vp/ is one personFuck you, fuck your presentation.
>>59323707I barely remembered USUM, but don’t those games really flesh out the story? I don’t remember because USUM’s narrative still sucked enough for me to not give a shit about it. I just kept doing wormholes until I got bored
>>59323707I love the aquamarine color splashes on the health bars, in general I really like the battle presentation in SM. As for other aspects of the presentation, I am a bit more mixed, the way the characters aren't quite chibi nor quite realistically proportioned always looked a bit ugly to me. The evening sunset casting everything in an orange hue looked pretty beautiful I remember. A lot of those things kind of go underappreciated since the game insists on interrupting you every five steps so you don't really get the time to explore and move at your own pace.Also fuck Rotom Dex, absolutely destroying the vibe of the game.
>>59324077Oops, forgot pic
I returned my copy of Moon within a few days.But I got Ultra Sun later and enjoyed it a lot. I thought the locations were nice, game had good visual design, and exploring each area for items / filling out the pokedex was well paced.
I THINK-A YOU ARE A FAGGOT!
>>59324671why are all luigifans so fucking unlikable?
Conceptually solid and certainly ambitious, but executed pretty badly overall and obviously rushed. There's lots of details that prove it was made by people who care, and the overall game is a better experience than XY besides the cutscenes, but it's bogged down by bad decisions. It is looked at more fondly today because the games after have been mostly abysmal and total downgrades, but don't let that fool you. SM are average as hell.
>>59323707B8 thread.Many of us enjoy the the story and cutscenes the most of any pokemon game
>>59323707Since gen 6 still was playing with the chibi overworld, gen 7 felt like the "endgame" (at least at the time) that 3D pokemon was meant to reach.Overall I remember having a good time and consider it objectively better than XY, but still not quite on the level of BW/BW2.
>>59323707The only thing I really liked about SM was the Pokedex. I think it has some great Pokemon designs, it's one of my favourite dexes. Everything else...meh. Ranges from forgettable to cringe inducing.
>>59324723His cancer prognosis is grim and he's lashing out, have some sympathy
>>59323707It’s a tropical setting except they didn’t want to put any focus on the water. The music was good, everything else felt incredibly half-assed. The dex ranges from good to abhorrent dogshit.
>>59325000>The only thing I really liked about SM was the PokedexAgreed, absolutely love the rotom dex.
>>59325092>It’s a tropical setting except they didn’t want to put any focus on the water.Maybe they noticed considering that WiWa is prizing itself in the detailed underwater.
>>59325451Lmao. I mean the Pokemon themselves.
>>59323707I didn't hate SM's cutscenes when it was new, but I've never felt any drive to go back and replay them.
>>59326065She will never be as pretty as Green
>>59323707The aesthetic is the only advantage of that shitty Gen.It’s a beautiful region trapped in a godawful game.
>>59325488Oh ya I like those too lol
>>59326105She's a sight cuter for sure
it’s pretty but the environments are pretty boring, much like Sinnohso many of the routes are just plains or rocky terrain, most of the standout biomes are small areas
really good music
>>59325466>WiWa
>>59323707I actually think its story is one of the best in the series hands down. People bitch about it since they want to get to the gameplay but I actually like what they did. This obviously did not carry over as Sword did not have any of the charm this did imo. Aside from that what this anon said: >>59323720The vibe is great and the characters make it work not just because of the hebe sexo. They actually were well written and Lillie was one of the few times a character aside from you felt actually important to the story. It showed that Gamefreak could make good stories if they tried and I feel moving off the 3DS was their biggest mistake and problem.
>>59327446>moving off the 3DS was their biggest mistakeThe 3DS was a dying platform bro and Nintendo never had a dedicated portable again. The problem is not moving platforms but rather Game Freak not increasing their development team to deal with Switch production.
>>59327446>moving off the 3DS was their biggest mistakeWhat? Would you rather them keep making games for the 3DS forever?
>>59324936Soulful as FUCK.Now all they do is press a button on their wrist and raise their arms...
>>59323707Alola in my top 3 regions. Comfy as fuck
Playing it for the first time and I dont know why they made this game so fucking hand-holdy. Retarded ass rival telling you to go to the Pokemon Center to heal your mons before going to the Digglet tunnel, 9 hours into the game. Its insane.
>>59328685For some reason Gamefreak’s had a phobia of not doing it since Plat.
>>59323707Besides the very bland and generic route design which I hate, the style is very beautiful and possibly one of the best in the series. The style is even better than stuff like Bravely Default and Rune Factory 4, though I still think Fantasy Life has an even better artstyle.I am a huge gen 5 fan when it comes to artstyle, but USUM finally did free 360 degree movement ond no grid which should have been a thing since GBA.Team Skull and Aether Foundations themes are rad and I still listen to them. Lusamines theme is especially awesome. Gladions theme is rad too. And Ultra Beast theme.
