We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Pokémon UltraSun & UltraMoon |OT| What is this, a crossover episode?
- Thread starter CannonFodder52
- Start date
From a distance, these kinds of changes always seem so minor and inconsequential. Like, it's not a selling point for anybody that the Save function is mapped to Y now.
But it's really cool to replay a game with all these adjustments. I'm sure I would be less keen on a replay if I'd done another run of the original game, but to dive back in after a year it's just exciting to see what's different.
It's been cool so far. The tiny changes are awesome.
Yes. No joke, USM has probably the best PokéDex I've seen so far. Tons of fun options and really densely populated locales.
Are you serious? I'm way more excited to play now.
Also, for anyone who is playing Ultra Sun: is it possible to capture regular Solgaleo in it?
Hawlucha absolutely destroyed Hala.
I get why, but I didn't quite expect him to sweep Hala with no mercy. But it was deserved since the rest of my team kept getting the shit beat out of them by Machop.

Do you mean three minutes until you can check their attributes (gender, nature, etc.)? That would be disappointing.
I hate to be that guy who brings up B2W2 yet again, but I loved how they handled it in that game. Bianca's introduction was relatively short to begin with and even then she still stopped talking so you could save the game just before picking your pokémon. The bit afterwards when she gives you your pokédex took only a few seconds as well.
Took me 3 resets until I settled for Quirky nature. Cut scene, choose mon, cut scene, check, reset. About 5-6 minutes each time.
thanks!
maybe i'll look up Serebii to see if they have an update on Pokearth for this yet then.
reason being that I don't want to pick a starter that I know I'm going to get a decent->great of that same type shortly.
would rather have the diversity
I was so bummed to see that the red hair color isn't available until post-game. Really wanted to rock that this time around. :(
Ah well. I'm enjoying this, though it (expectedly) is nearly identical to last year's versions so far, which means just as many annoying unskippable dialogue sequences. Just got to Route 2.

Tell me more about this. There are fashion items locked to the post-game?
I just got my copy of Ultra Moon! I haven't played Pokemon since Platinum though, so I hope with all the changes since then there is enough to keep me interested long enough to beat this.
I haven't looked to see what all of them are, but some are at least. I was just going off of a list of stuff for the original versions though, I'm not sure how much (if any) of it is different in Ultra.
The Ultra Recon Squad creating beast balls five minutes after mentioning they should catch Pokémon like the alolans is some old bullshit
well, looks like i'm picking Rowlet
Fire - Growlithe is apparently available early on, and has always been one of my favorites
Water - Slowpoke is early too, and dual typed with Psychic, so he's my go-to then
this is gonna be great
To be fair, Johtonians used to make fully functioning Poké Balls out of damn tree nuts.
Man it's a good thing that my copy didn't arrive yet as I made a last minute adjustment to both of my team as I swapped Shiinotic and Tsareena around as I only had two special attacker in Ultra Moon and 4 in Ultra Sun and I wanted to balance the team out a bit.
But yeah can't wait for my copy to arrive to tomorrow.
Oh wow that's cool, I mean I was already impressed by the static model in Sun and Moon but having them animate, even if it's slight, is great to hear and just shows that we have gone a long way from gen 6 static image.

Can I just change my 3DS clock to be 5pm?
My Rockruff is at level 18, and will probably hit 25 within an hour or so, but it's currently 10pm, so I either don't play the entire Saturday until 5pm, or Rockruff stays as Rockruff probably almost until I beat the game...

Mantine surfing toes a very fine line. Very simplistic but interesting enough and worth it for the easy BP. I imagine there will be a specific route once you get all the beaches and tricks that will be most efficient for grinding BP.
At the very least, it looks to be much quicker than Battle Tree runs for acquiring mega stones and battle items.

I wouldn't mind trading you an Alolan Vulpix egg as long as you don't expect the perfect IVs or the best nature to be on the egg but you do get the Hidden Ability.
Yes you can and as a fail safe the Rockruff will NOT evolve to it's Midday or Midnight Form only its Dusk Form by force in case your timing is off

Thanks
I figured it couldn't evolve into the other forms, since you could lose the specialness of the event accidentally of that was the case.
When he's about to hit 25, I'll have to remember to change my clock

These feel like the games we should have gotten in the first place rather than enhanced editions. It's a shame Alola is still a slog to play through. I thought they said the changes in the script would be more prevalent, but it's basically the exact same game with a few more cutscenes so far.
Caught a Bulbasaur with Island Scan. Pretty fitting that release day is the first Pokémon in the National Dex
Oh wait there is no national dex.

Yes, I like how it gives you the starter a lot sooner, and it streamlines the character introductions a little bit. I still think it has a lot of cutscenes so far, which is annoying.
Source?
I didn't follow much news but script doesn't mean story.
No 3D effect huh? I take it they had to sacrifice that to get such good graphics? (For a 3DS game I mean)
BTW, I know the reviews said there wasn't improvements in the framerate but I think they only played using the new 3DS. I have an OG 3DS and there's definitely improvements in the framerate, it's not ideal yet, but it's better.
More like the performance of the games have always been downgraded or troubled ever since Diamond and Pearl came out because we have yet to go back to the quick smoothness the Generation III games had.
Right? It's those minor things that count. I'm sure those animations have always existed, they just weren't paused.
Only played a few hours and man I'm happy to be back in Alola. Love the general vibe of the region and all the team captains. It's been a blast seeing them again with some new scenes thrown in.
Oh well like I said in my previous post (#315) I haven't played any Pokemon games since Platinum.
Now I'm curious why the most popular Nintendo brand has never utilized THE gimmick of the 3DS. A gimmick I love very much no less.
3D was not received well in general because until the n3DS came around it didn't work well if you even slightly shifted your view or the system to the side, it drain an already short battery even faster and some people couldn't perceive 3D due to some condition they may have in their eyes. As such Nintendo and all of it's developers kicked the 3D gimmicks to the side after a year or two for the most part anyways and it didn't help that 3rd parties didn't make well use of 3D either so now that the 2DS is a thing we live in a world where nobody uses 3D anymore the 3DS might as well have been called the Super DS at this point.
