>>33523889>Is USUM gonna be the first Pokemon Game to truly flopHonestly, if by the end of Wednesday there's no USUM in the Nintendo Direct I honestly think these games will come as close as Pokemon gets to flopping - they will sell comparatively badly.
I've pre-ordered as well, which is fine - I'm a religious Pokemon fanboy and I will pre-order every Pokemon game. That's my problem.
But if we look at the facts, I can't really imagine what GF can realistically pull out of the bag to gather enough hype in a short period of time: It's probably not going to be any original new Pokemon (Or even Alola forms) because we would've seen hints in the merchandise news channels like with every new gen.
The main thing USUM has riding for it is the fact that there's a new story, which is fine because like BW2 these games are clearly for slightly more dedicated fans who are interested enough. However, we really haven't even been given any hints on the story to get excited about.
I hate to say it and I almost can't quite believe it because I don't think GF would fuck up THIS bad, but it is increasingly looking like what we've seen so far is it. We'll get the new alternate story with Nekrozma and the Ultra Beasts...but I think feature-wise this may be basically pretty much the same game.
Hopefully it'll be good though and will improve S/M like BW2 did for B/W, otherwise it'll be a very expensive Litten mini-figure.
