It is literally just a copy of the Battle Tower. It is no different from the dozens of other Battle Tower copies we've had since fucking Pokémon Crystal.

post game wise it's fucking shit compared to Emerald, Platinum or even BW2. It's still better than the whole of gen6 though I'll give them that. But hell they didn't even manage to do their own concept right
>make "battle legends" show up like Red and Blue
>shit on the opportunity to include other awesome characters
>no Steven, Lance, N or most other champs
>no Silver, Barry or other rivals except Wally since hey they still had his sprite and battle theme lying around so why not recycle it
>no team bosses like Giovanni or even the faggots from gen3 (they even had the fucking sprites and battle themes what the fuck)
>no Tower Tycoon Palmer, other Battle Frontier faggots or other top trainers from past gens
>no popular gym leaders from past gens
Wasted opportunities like these really make me think how the hell GF decides shit like this. Did they brainstorm literally the first 5 trainers they could think of and call it a day?

the thing with this is that they not only teased Red and Blue but others like Wally too. With just Red and Blue one may have thought they are running the tree and are the only bosses and seeing other trainers would have been an actual surprise. However seeing Cynthia and Wally in the trailers made people believe this will be a huge thing with all or most of the memorable trainers of the past. So yes it was not only lots of wasted opportunities, they also started fucking up when they teased the battle tree.

It is the Battle Tower with the least content since its conception in Crystal. It forgoes ha in new original characters and brings back old characters instead, and then doesn't even do that right by having version exclusive people and a very small number of trainers from other regions.

Its had nature feels the worst its ever been.

I have absolutely no idea how you could possibly think this. Not in an "opinions suck" thing, but seriously.

Sun & Moon are mediocre games at best. ORAS on the other hand are at LEAST above average. People just hate them because they gave Emerald they gave Emerald the shaft.

With the big difference that it's not "beat easy to unlock hard" anymore, it's "beat hard to unlock cheap" right from the start. You have to be a mentally challenged baby to lose any other "first round" in games that aren't SM, but here being one is normal.

You should know Gamefreak is the actual definition of 1 step forwards and 2 steps backwards. They can always do so much neat shit each generation and keep the neat shit from previous generations but never do. Each new generation is simply an experiment to them it seems for them to try some other ideas they had but of course never adding anything cool from before.

At least that would've been more content. The Battle Frontier was the Battle Tower plus like four or five extra facilities. This is just a single facility with even less options than in the Maison.

I wish you didn't have to start over from scratch when you lose, though. I get that it's all about getting good streaks, but the first twenty battles are always easy as fuck, it feels like such a waste of time to have to do those again.

>playing through SM again
Not a chance. Even if there was some semblance of a challenge this time around, the amount of cutscenes was so beyond ridiculous there's no way I could force myself through that.

They should just have a fucking difficulty setting. Make it some weird button combination like deleting your save on ORAS so the kiddos can't accidentally pick the wrong difficulty. There's no excuse for this bullshit anymore; SM literally has trainers with a single underevolved pokemon ~10 levels below the curve as late as the fourth island. There's a Team Skull grunt in Po Town that has like a level 25 spinarak or something. What the fuck?

It's actually to the point that I really can't keep playing these games anymore. The entire combat/team building system is completely undermined by the fact that there isn't a single remotely challenging encounter in the entire game. And competitive battling on the cart is the worst it's ever been since there's like nine million legendaries in this game and none of them are banned, so if you want to make a team with your favorite mons you just get annihilated by ultra beasts and broken megas. Fuck SM

They couldn't even fit Johto onto a single cartridge and had to get a higher up (Iwatta) to do their job for them, and he did such a good job that they put in a whole second region into the game.

Yeah, so? You could make a Pokemon game extremely challenging but overleveling one Pokemon would just make the entire game easy no matter what. It's like bitching about how easy a game is when you decided to trade over-leveled Pokemon that you can use. Most people actually play through a game with an entire team. EXP share and battle style are not irrelevant because they are Gamefreak on way of giving you a difficulty setting options. Battle style especially since you lose the free switch in that you get.

So what you're saying is that. You don't know anything about what you're talking about and I should disregard your moronic complaint about difficulty in a Pokemon game. Good to know.

You don't have to grind at all and you'll vastly overlevel everything. Guess you're part of the 13-year old audience they're aiming the games for if you actually had trouble though. The only things in SM that could even pretend to constitute a challenge are the totems, and their AI is so hopelessly fucked that half the time they just spam the same boosting moves over and over again until they die.

No you aren't. Did you even play the game? Because I played through it and I was never over leveled. The EXP system makes this impossible. Once you get to the fourth island, there is a huge level increase and you will usually find yourself at lower levels then the wild Pokemon. Then again, you actually think having one Pokemon with good coverage is enough to make you breeze through the game.

They could make it so that you can't overlevel by such a vast amount, which is what most RPGs do. Or they could make it so that you won't overlevel just by playing through the game normally. There are plenty of solutions but you're pretending like they're non-viable because you're a brainless shill. "Difficulty options" don't matter when there is no difficulty to begin with.

Not really, since EXP share is how the game should work normally. Having to lead with your shitmons just to level them up was always terrible game design and the new EXP share was a good fix to keeping your whole team on curve. But they can't balance to save their fucking lives which prohibits you from using it if you don't want the game to be playskool tier.

>Most people actually play through a game with an entire team

They did. That's why they implemented Gen V EXP system this generation. It's the reason why leveling up to Lv.100 is so tedious in this generation. Do you even know anything about the game you're criticizing.

>But they can't balance to save their fucking lives which prohibits you from using it if you don't want the game to be playskool tier.

But the EXP share this gen was balanced thanks to the new EXP system. Again, did you even play the game.

Dunno man, that's pretty average. I even agree with you that SM are probably harder than the previous few games, but you're just straight wrong here. If you catch a decent amount of pokemon and fight every trainer, you'll probably hit Poni in your late 40s. The wild pokemon give a shitload of experience so you could easily hit 51/52 by the time you get through the first couple areas.

Actually all I said was that that's how most kids play through the game, and that it's only really possible because the game is so easy that you never really have to bother building a team. Good job being a retard though I guess

I caught a decent amount of Pokemon and fought every trainer outside the Skull Grunts on the hill outside Po and my whole team was UNDER THE WILD MONS and the trainer with the fucking Toxapex at the beginning of the island was hardcore.

I was 10 levels behind Solgaleo and the team was under 50 for Lusamine 2 except my starter.
I got to Kukui with my starter 7 levels behind his own.

I don't see how you can possibly be 10 levels superior to the area without grinding extensively, sorry.

And how the fuck is the way a kid plays the game have to do with your fucking retarded complaint that Sun and Moon were "too easy" when you already been told again and again why you are wrong. The EXP share is balanced unlike X/Y. The Totem Pokemon use strategies that make them more difficult then the conventional gym battles. Legendary Pokemon have guaranteed 3 perfect IV and elevated stats, so wow, the game is so easy. Of course, even that complaint is dumb because Lunala is not very good against the Elite Four. And you don't even receive the legendaries until near the end of the game, so you're wrong, the majority of the game will encourage you to build a team. Again, did you even play the game? Amazing, this complaint sounds more stupid the more you think about it.

All I'm saying is that your complaints against Sun and Moon being too easy are fucking stupid. And you're not proving me wrong.

Hey faggot. I didn't say I used the EXP share, I'm just saying that you're wrong because the EXP share was balanced this generation. Yet another reason why your complaints are not valid. You complain about being overleveled, but there is no way you could be overleveled ala Pokemon X/Y because of the way the EXP system works unless you went out of your way to grind for hours.

Don't try to act so innocent now. Overleveling your team looking for HAs is definitely not fucking normal considering you could use whatever fucking else Pokemon not part of your team, like Greninja.

Fighting random encounters does not put you 10 levels over everything and with "rare" i suppose you mean SOS rares, where the argument i made above applies.

You know i played against a Blissey base that i didn't know was placed there in ORAS once and i just leveled my whole team up 20 levels but i'm just playing casually hahaha

Fucking please. I grinded for a fucking shiny Dewpider while training MY OWN low level Dewpider and the Greninja and nothing else.

Yeah, because the wild Pokemon are 43-45 and the trainers are about that high too. Hence, his Pokemon are on par with the level of the team. His other Pokemon are also 41. That's at most a 5 level gap. Where is this "over-leveled" problem?

Gonna have to disagree with the EXP share being balanced part. It's still just as fucked as ever in SM; you'll stay slightly above par until maybe the third island or so, and then you shoot up way beyond the average trainers and totem mons.

Hate to break this to you, but most people put the game down after the story (if they even make it that far) and never pick it up again. Tons of pokemon in the early routes have 10%, 5%, 1% encounter rates, or are only available in SOS encounters, so if you want them on your team you need to spend a lot of time looking for them. I don't see how you could possibly act like hunting for pokemon you like is some bizzare, backwards way of playing the game. And even then it's GF's fault for making everything that isn't a kantomon, yungoos or pikipek rare as fuck

But you're the one saying that you don't want to play the game and only want to grind.
If i want to get those things you mentioned i certainly wouldn't use my playthrough team. They give you an "unruinable" Greninja for a reason. Too bad it doesn't learn False Swipe, but i had other non-team mons for that..

And nobody forces you to use your own team to spend a lot of time looking for it, they give you more than 6 Pokemon choices for a reason.

Then you're forced to go out of your way and tediously swap pokemon out just to avoid making the game too easy, which is bad game design. Might as well say to just swap out your highest level mon whenever you get too overleveled, since that's a similarly shitty solution to the difficulty problem.

Nothing, but that literally could never happen ingame.

You know the only way a Pokemon game is difficult?

When it's a "Battle" game. Like Stadium, Battle Revolution, etc.

Same levels, same restrictions, no trainer items, no trading, no bullshit gimmicks.
There's a reason why facilities are the hardest part of Pokemon games and the ONLY hard part of them.
Because they get rid of everything the player has in its favor. And add bullshit cheap RNG in the game's favor, but that's another story.

And yet it doesn't force you to grind your team.

Not mentioning a good 90% of the SOS-only mons also have their pre-evos readily available in the wild, with only a few exceptions to already rare Pokemon, like Happiny. Or does the game FORCE you to get that Salamence, mmh?

Try to actually REALIZE who's obtuse here. Certainly isn't me.
