I downloaded it ASAP because I knew this would happen, Nintendo is ruthless about this type of stuff

9 years of work for 2 days of public release on their website, 1.5m total download though  

I NEED ITT!!!  

The new pokemon in sun/moon look so bad, why does dragonite have an aloha form???

It's no wonder people prefer fan made games like this over the real one, definitely will be playing this, I was hyped for sun and moon but it looks terrible  

Any site or links for for games like this?

Honestly wasn't too big of a fan of the uranium pokemon either.

Lmfao Colin, baby, Sun and Moon ain't even out yet. Relax.

TBH I think some of the new Pokemon in Uranium look dumb as hell.

The UI and art style are what really sold the game to me though.  

How does the difficulty of this game compare to the official series?

I know for a fact that it has a built in Nuzlocke mode you can select when you start a new game.

I'd be pretty disappointed if this game that took 9 ****ing years was a goddamn joke to play in terms of difficulty.

Dragonite doesn't even have an Alola form, at least no trailer has revealed it yet anyway...I actually love how the Pokemon have adapted to their environments, certainly makes things more interesting (loving the Ninetails, Eggxecutor and Marowak). The new Pokemon are cute af and the game looks amazing so far (Team Skull <3), dunno what trailers you've been watching.

Also, loving how they're adding so many more features and building on other ones, really hyped. Final starter evolutions look amazing too - they were leaked and were pretty much proven to not be fake:

It is on the official website Pokedex, along with a few others

also most likely gyms won't be in the new games coming out

I think Pokemon has run its course, after having 721 total pokemon in the national pokedex there isn't really much they can turn to besides making all these weird new pokemon

TBH I wish the dev team behind Uranium just designed an original game, especially considering it spent 9 years in development just to be shut down by nintendo

i consider this the problem. people think of new pokemon games and only think of new pokemon...and some minor gameplay changes.

this is why i think pokemon is a **** game. i like the idea of pokemon, and the card game/collecting was fun when i was in middle school....but pokemon games are disgusting. nintendo literally puts minimal effort into changing the actual game and just come up with new pokemon while they heavily recycle the core of the game.

i dont know if thats what people want, but its no better than CoD...along with the idiots who actually play that garbage.

There's lots that can be done to Pokemon... none of which should be adding more and more new pokemon. They just need to step back and try changing things up more. Change the battle system some, break down the typical pokemon cliches like grass, water and fire starters. Change the goal of the game, the pacing... something.

They add a lot to the games in their defense... but a lot of it never really gets any traction going for these many seemingly random features and by the next gen they've removed it anyways. It's like their gameplay design team is full of people with ADHD.

It looks like they're trying to do something with Sun and Moon, but as always it's sprinkled with what seems to be random ideas with little merit behind them, and even what they are doing is just taking the smallest of possible baby steps towards change so they can say things are different.

In the end Pokemon suffers from either being too scared to change, or developers who can't think outside of the box they've already created. Hell, they won't even port them to the consoles(even virtual console) because they firmly believe "Pokemon should be played on the go" which is the stupidest **** I have ever heard. Don't tell me how to play my game >:(
