Glad to see others actually like these games. They give me so much joy and I’m tired of them being brought up to be hated on. Swsh is way more linear and SV are way more “unfinished”
Thank you for this video. I had a bit of nostalgia watching it since I played SUN around the time I finished college and had my first job. I was under a lot of stress, but playing through what I considered as my last Pokemon game was a blast, despite all its shortcomings. Reception for Gen VII is strange because it felt like it received critical acclaim when it was first released until it was considered the weakest point of the franchise at the time. I guess that's just the cycle of Pokemon Fans.
Gen 7 is what got me back into pokemon. it looked fun and didnt dissapoint. Its my favourite gen, and I think the best games they ever made. It had so much content and yet was actually well polished.
I also like sun and moon. Was my first Pokémon game and I still love playing through them, I actually went and checked and I have 350 hours on Pokémon Ultra Sun.
The X items are very useful for catching annoying pokemon. LIke when using a "catching" Smeargle which even at lv 100 is still frail. In addition to that the massive buffs of the X items are a godsend for speedruns, though SM isn't as beloved in terms of speedrunning since there's plenty of cutscenes. But yes, using it on a normal playthrough is overkill.
The paralysis and Confusion nerfs bother me because they're twofold and therefore feel overkill. Lowering the accuracy of Thunder Wave and nerfing the speed drop of paralysis are fine nerfs, but both stacked ontop of each other is just needlessly cruel. Not as bad as what they did to confusion for the sins of Swagger. Making the hit chance 33% makes the status virtually unviable. The move reminder in Gen 7 also allows you to learn future moves that the Pokemon would naturally learn at higher levels. An excellent feature for certain Pokemon like Volcorona and certain formats like Little Cup, but it would be a bit too good if you got access to it too early. Still, I do understand the gripe because it really does compound the evolution issues that the original Sun and Moon have
The Rotomdex is garbage and they made it insufferable in UltraSun and UltraMoon by making it so it literally never shuts up and constantly tells you basic crap that you've already known since Gen 1 and there's no way to turn it off so it makes you want to throw your 3DS out a window and gives you a reason to hate Rotom all because of this. 😠 Worst design choice ever to throw a Rotom into a Pokedex.
I like the rotome Dex it has a lot of cool features Camara, the rotom ability's faster egg hatching usw it also speeds up menuing vor example wenn a Pokémon is low it offers to use helling items to hell it
Now we need USUM praise because people tend to hate that game out of misunderstanding of its story changes or some literal BS reason (being an alternate reality Upper Version instead of a sequel) 😔
@@Garde_Mystikyeah ultra needs some love, though they did kinda ruin the story to me. But the ultra necrozma battle, extra trial, postgame and some of my favourite Pokémon like charmander and ralts being in island scan makes me like the games very much.
Sadly hop was fun at first due to a level if jovial energy but he really started to become a drag down him down feeling like he just doesn’t know any other emotion than that and starting feeling like a ditzy character. I never finished it the story wasn’t wow factor enough by mid game I just took a break and haven’t been motivated to continue since then. One day the itch will get me to 100% it like most of my older games do but for now it is just collecting dust
@@kyuremthehomie123 of course I’ve seen it. Ultra did fix the Missing trial. I always thought that the whole area was kind of the trial and that’s why it’s so basic.
@@kyuremthehomie123 1) Scaling was infeasible on the 3DS especially since SM already took up space and became one of the biggest 3DS games in terms of file size. 2) I believe Gamefreak intended on leaving cutscenes as they were because they made it heavily integrated into the experience. It wasn't like many games where it plays a cutscene then you advance towards a stage. They made these cutscenes very interactable and had battles in between them. Having a skip option would have created many complications. BW was probably more finished but the overall gameplay and your options for it were a lot more barren and lackluster than probably any other mainline game. What stood out as positive was the plot and music.
But the real reason as to why Sun & Moon is peak, is because it made Toxapex.
Glory to Big Stall.

They are by far more complete games than swsh and scavio and that saddens me
SV was the best in the series
Gen 7 is my all time favorite gen
Yes!

Yeah when they first came out, everyone seemed to love them, but now they hate them:(

The hate for gen 7 is so unjustified. Gen 7’s ultra games are actually some of the BEST in the series

The Pokémon design in this game ist so good almost every new Pokémon in this game is so good

What’s with the filter on some of the Sun and Moon gameplay?

Gen 8 and 9 also have a Rotom in the Pokédex.

W video

Why does some game footage look yellow?
Pokemon sumo praise?! Today’s a good day
Yes it is:)

If you’re including graphics sure but if you’re talking about story S&V are better
You dont want to know how often i batteld the battel beufee 😅😅

Most of your arguments are people think game bad "HavE YoU PlaYed A ReAl BaD GamR" "ThiS NoT Tat Bad" "iF yOu dOnt LiKe iT yoU bAd"
Finally someone saying the truth
The hate for these games were unjust, they're like the black and white of the modern era
@@kyuremthehomie123how they hell are they unfinished? Pretty sure the unskipable cutscenes are intentional. You’re linear not unfinished
@@kyuremthehomie123 of course I’ve seen it. Ultra did fix the
Missing trial. I always thought that the whole area was kind of the trial and that’s why it’s so basic.
@@kyuremthehomie123 I actually liked that trial as for them taking you, I just saves time, plus don’t you get the option not to go? Can’t remember.
There is an actual lore reason behind why Kommo-O's trial is as simplistic as it is...
It was Alola's very first trial ever
