Quick question: how is Pokemon XY? I noticed those games just piling up dust on my local Sears bargain bin and was wondering if they were good (a quick google search seems to say they are) and people here just didn't knew better or everyone else already has them.

But the thing is I haven't played a Pokemon game since Pokemon Gold on the GBC. I got really into that (specially since I had both Pokemon Stadiums) but I was never interedted in Ruby/Saphire and when my Gold Cartridge was stolen the Pokemon hype died for me.

Now, I was planning to get Pokemon Ultra Moon to get a fresh start on the newest generation plus I've been interested in some of the new additions. But I noticed those games just sitting there and nobody seems to be interested in buying them because there were a lot of copies there.

So, should I start from XY or jump straight to Ultra Moon? (... if I do get into XY I'll probabbly get Y out of the two)

X and Y are great games, but severely lack any real post-game content; it's pretty much just that one Looker side-quest and teambuilding, if you don't want to bother with the cheating A.I. of the Battle Maison. If that doesn't put you off, then go for it.

Oh, I want a diagram. I fucking love diagrams.

XY are pretty cool. Introduces some new mechanics(Fairy Types, Mega Evolution, Horde Battles) and has a decent story i guess. Also has an huge amount of Pokemon available (iirc 400 out of 600+?) so you won't be hurting for choice. But the lack of postgame really hurts it(and every Pokemon game since like BW2)

USUM is irrelevant if you've played SM(which the majority have). If you haven't its perfect but if you have then there's no point getting them unless you REALLY want the new OP dragon.

Thanks guys. As I mentioned I haven't played any Pokemon game since Gold for GBC so if Ultra S/M is like Yello/Crystal then this is perfect for me, thank you.

I might get Pokemon X/Y since you metioned it serves to introduce some new elements so it should at least serve as introduction for me (plus those games are cheap over here so it should be fine). It seems thesedid not received a special edition... oh well.

Once again thank you guys.

Pokemon X/Y was disappointing to me. Didn't really feel like you were exploring and discovering things, just that you were getting handed things and rushed to the endgame.

Street fighting is all about analysis, prediction, and reaction. That's it.

I wanted to say something similar as well.  X and Y didn't really offer a challenge.  Beyond getting lost in the map because it ended up being rather forgettable.  The entourage of supporting cast didn't really do anything either beyond get on your nerves showing up at the worse possible time.  Like Blue, but too friendly about it.  Heck, the villains are kinda stupid as well.  I mean, the Generations short did more to flesh out Lysandre than the entire game did.

There's still plenty to enjoy out of X and Y as games, especially returning from gen 2 as they offer a lot for gen 1 players and gen 2 was plenty tied to the original, having just followed it and its initial wave of popularity.  Just, I wouldn't put it on the top of any chart.

Now, I was planning to get Pokemon Ultra Moon to get a fresh start on the newest generation plus I've been interested in some of the new additions. But I noticed those games just sitting there and nobody seems to be interested in buying them because there were a lot of copies there.
Ignoring the child porn implication, the supporting cast don't do much in Ultra Sun and/or Moon.  Not that they did exceedingly much in Sun/Moon to begin with, but even less-so with the story direction changes in the Ultra variants.  I'd say the original Sun/Moon told a better story overall, especially with relevance to Lillie's character growth, than this alien twist Ultra throws in.

In general, Ultra trims the fat of the nonsense you don't care to see again if you ever plan to replay one of the other Ultra titles you skipped out on, but it also derails the better plot points Sun and Moon had about a dysfunctional family in lieu of a Final Fantasy villain taking over instead.  If you care at all to follow a story (Which tends to be a largely contributing factor about RPGs, even simple ones like Pokémon) I'd say you'd be better off with Sun and Moon for gen 7.  But if you're just looking for the superior game, Ultra is those past games and more.

Thanks for the reply.

After reading that and doing some research on my own I decided to simply get Vanilla Moon. If afterwards I decide to get Ultram that's something else.

I have no idea when I'll buy the game but at least now I know where to start, thanks. :D

Here's something random.

Was going through my old Balrog SvC Mugen character and found something I never noticed before. Had to go check the real game just make sure I wasn't seeing things. Balrog has an unshaded frame in his Jump HK.



What is it with SNK from that time period? Yamazaki in Kof 2003 and Duck King in XI had similar issues.
