With the Battle Spot gone for Gen 6 you need to bug people for battles now, but yeah, free online is an incentive in itself. You can still get Monster Hunter and Smash Bros. 4 games too.

Not having a Switch myself I kind of double take whenever I boot one up and see that flat home menu after the 3DS, Wii U, heck even the Gamecube's four-panel system menu.

My favorite part about the switch eshop is when you finally get through the laggy menus (that 3DS didn't have a problem with) and try to sift through the 800 pieces of shit on sale at the lowest price the store allows about 300 clicks down it runs out of memory and resets you to the top.

They don't. Most people are playing USUM since it's an actually good game. Maybe you'd know that if you actually played it instead of blindly shitposting to defend Gen 6.

So much better than Gen 6, really. I have to wait like a minute in XYORAS because no one plays. Makes sense since they're garbage games and chinks are the only ones that seem to like it.

Still blows my mind over how much USUM was an improvement over every game in the series. To be honest, I was a little disappointed by Swoosh until the DLC and even though I can replay it many times in succession without stopping nothing really beats booting up my copy of Ultra Sun and nuzlocking it.
It's the most difficult game in the series, online is still the most active too. Alola was soul.

I still pick up Ultra Moon to nuzlocke now and then, it's still fantastic.

I just like to pretend Gen V and VI never happened. They're really more of a stain on the 3DS legacy more than anything and it seems like they're also the reason Gen 7 gets a lot of flack despite doing almost everything right.

It's funny to think about. Swoosh kinda comes close with the DLC but honestly the 3DS era (not counting Gen 5 or 6) still has it.

Anyone else remember USUM hype season? It was the best time to ever be on vp. Seems like Gen 7 really brought this board out of the dark ages since it had been dead since BW's reveal.

USUM's UI was a more cluttered and glittery than I'd like. I still use my Sun copy as my primary copy for the smoother UI and just use it to farm battle tree points with my breeded team, but otherwise, yea Ultra games are objectively much better (though that's not saying much lol)

Same. Rotom was pretty annoying but honestly it was really refreshing after the clusterfuck that was in Gen 6 that kept taking you out of the game with pointless menus and clutter.

Rotom really grew on me. I liked that it actually had character in Gen 7 unlike the one in Gen 6.

Better than Unova but that's not an accomplishment. I will admit USUM ended up being one of the best games in the series but it's still bogged down by the legacy of everything that came before it.

This. I can admit Swoosh seemed really rushed but when I actually played it it was still fun and reminded me of USUM.

There's not much point to talking about the 3DS games since they're surpassed by literally every other game but Gen 5.

Nostalgia. I remember growing up with XY and it was literally the best game ever. So much better than BW2 and I'll never forgive Gen 7 for ruining what we had!!

XY was the greatest. BW2, USUM, and Swoosh all suck massive balls for ruining my childhood.

Same. I really loved the PSS because once you got over the clunky menuing it was fun. I don't want to listen to characters like Lillie or Rotom I just want to play the game!!

Gen 5 and 7 both suck because they pull the same shit where you get interrupted constantly. We need another game like Gen 6 that was actually good.

Shivers. This post reminded me of my first time playing XY as a kid, it's funny to think how it ended up being one of the best games in the series and a massive improvement over BW2 which I tried as my first games and hated.

USUM is similar to BW2 in that they suck and interrupt you way too much. XY did a lot better on that front and I'm glad I can still go back and play it without being interrupted by annoying characters since I can't even remember them anyway.

Same. I remember when I was 10 and lost my copy of B2 but then my dad took me to the store so I could buy a copy of X instead.

So glad it happened because Gen 6 was so much better. I'll never forgive GameFreak for taking away what we had and going back on it in Gen 7. USUM is seriously almost as bad as BW2 it isn't even funny.

Not sure what everyone is talking about. I tried BW2 and Dream Radar on my 3DS when I was 9 and fucking loved it.

Gen 6 in comparison was a complete upgrade tho and yeah it does kind of suck that Gen 7 downgraded it in a lot of ways back to Gen 5 since they were similar.

Still, it's not just because of the Zelda cycle that I like XY. It's genuinely one of the best games in the series and it just makes USUM and Swoosh look even worse.

Ignore him. He can't handle what he asked for. The thread would have been a lot more civil and engaging if it were just a Gen 7 thread since the Kalosperms wouldn't be activated and start blindly hating on Unova or conflating the two to make Kalos seem better.

It's not Gen 7 fans, it's literally just Kalosperms. Gen 7 and 5 fans are bros and the posts in this thread prove that it's literally just one falseflagging XY fan trying to make his shit games look good.

They've been doing the same shit for a while now but conflating Gen 5 and 6 together to either make Gen 5 look bad or Gen 6 look good. They really want to be seen as older games when in all honesty USUM deserves that title more than any of them.

That would explain a lot of shitposts that have been popping up lately. It is admittedly kind of embarrassing when even the "younger" gen like the Alolabros are somehow more mature than the seething Kalosperms that can't go a minute without pointing out that Unova was bad in order to make themselves seem better.

Agency is a meaningless buzzword. It doesn't actually mean anything, and even if we imply that it does Alola has tons of agency and optional areas.
Far more than Unova, in fact. Just look at the entire half of the first island and Akala. It also has more places to explore in the postgame unlike Kalowse.

It was literally all ULTRA CHANGES shitposts and complaints from the second it was revealed it wouldn't be a sequel to SM like BW2 was. Nobody was excited for it and when it dropped and it didn't fix any of SM's problems, people were disappointed.
Probably the worst time to be on vp, only surpassed by dexit and possibly the oras battle tower shit.
I know I'm replying to a discordfag shitposter or yawnfag, but this statement legitimately got me mad. Fuck you.
