Topic: Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon discussion

Every 3DS model struggles to run SM and USUM to some degree, especially when there are more than 2 Pokemon on the field, but the older models more so than the New 3DS models. I'd skip it.

It's not unplayable on any model. The frame rate is just a bit unstable, but never to the point where you will be watching a slideshow or anything like that...

I play it interchangeably on the 2DS and 2DS XL and rarely notice the difference.

Thanks for answers! I decided to give it a go. Going to a game shop now. It will be steel case Ultra Moon version.
Now I regret selling my Pokemon Y version. Hopefully framerates are not worse then Y with 3D on 🤞

Yea don't pay no mind to some people. It's really not bad, I agree it's not 100% but really I can only think of like 3 or 4 battles where that happens.

Already picked Ultra Moon.. initial load time was kinda long but so far I’m pleased with performance. I was expecting low framerates on cutscenes but thankfully that’s not a case. But I’m early in the game and now need to choose my starter pokemon. Googling about them for an hour lol and still can’t decide
Grass type one is the cutest imo but internet says it’s not the best choice. And I don’t like cats. Water one is cute but later iterations are ugly..
I guess I’ll take grass one

The cat becomes more like an evil Tony the tiger after it evolves

I agree with this statement. I fully played Sun on my original 3DS. There were occasional framerate drops (as many have said, mainly during battles with more than two Pokemon), but the game never crawls or anything.

You've probably noticed by now that booting and then exiting the game takes a couple of moments on older systems; this is because it's freeing up some of the RAM for the game.

Yes, these games need some extra prep time on the original models.

It disables the use of some of the extra multitasking features on the 3DS, to use the extra ram for the game itself.

Anyone have a Grassy Pelt Skiddo/Gogoat and/or Adaptability Dragalge/Skrelp that they'd be willing to trade with me for? I'm trying to build a Grassy Terrain team and these are the last two fellas I want.

GTS is disgusting

Playing through Y again recently for the Hidden Abilities, reminded me of a few things. How tedious batting the same and uninteresting reused trainer is, how nice the designs in XY were and how cool Friend Safaris were. Honestly, why did they get rid of those? they were such a cool way of pushing interactions with people and a reliable way to Hidden Abilities for certain pokemon.

I miss the voice chat we had in omega ruby and sapphire. It was seldom used but when it was used it was great.

I WANT TO TRADE MY POKEMONS VIA TRADE SO THEY CAN EVOLVE, PLEASE ADD YOUR FRIEND CODE HERE, MINES IS 5430-3033-6978 THANKS YOU. I NEED IT RIGHT NOW. WHAT DO YOU WANT ME FOR EXCHANGE? I AM HOPING FOR YOUR REPLY HERE.

@DNAeternum I can hook you up with that Rockruff if you are still looking.

Extremely simple to breed those Rockruffs with Own Tempo.

@Heavyarms55 Yes please!
I will add you to my Friend’s list.

My code is 2036 7004 5942.

@DNAeternum alright, I will add you after work.

@DNAeternum Alright man, I got you a 4IV breed-reject with 4 perfect IVs, female, in a fast ball with a handful of egg moves. My FC is 0774 5355 9778. Do you have a Discord? It'd be easier to chat there.

@Heavyarms55 Not at work. I am in the CST time zone. What is our time difference?

@DNAeternum I am in Japan, so Japan standard time. It's 8am where I am. If you have a discord, that would make it easiest to set up the trade.

Honestly, I hope in the next generation they fix the mess that is GTS. So many troll offers and the fact you can't see the specifics of the pokemon you're trading for is awful.

Something else I find weird is how hidden abilities are handled. The means to get them alternates between generation but are limited each time. There has to be a better way to attain them so all pokemon can reasonably get them in game.

Like these are things that should've been fixed since like gen 5 or 6 but are still poorly handled.
