I dunno... It's like they stripped it of 90% of what made it fun and worthwhile.
Also, I wonder if those huge, massive glitches involving podoboos on curved tracks that were discovered relatively recently have been fixed in this version.
@sonicmeerkat I would say actual content from the game, instead of throwing together some "unique", demo-specific scenario that's so disappointingly bland and boring. They did this with ORAS too. The ORAS demo was terrible, and it bored me to tears. I almost considered not buying the game because of it. Thankfully, I reconsidered, because the actual ORAS was nothing like the demo. It was, y'know, actually fun.
@AlexSora89 I agree. "Kicking them while they are down" just doesn't feel right, regardless of what those people did, and this comment section is full of that. It's a bit embarrassing, actually. We should be better than that.
@rjejr Yep, that's pretty much it. Pokebank is by no means a requirement in order to play these games. I've already caught them all (that's 721 critters total!) in Pokemon Y, and then again in Pokemon OR, using only one game in each pair of games and the (free) GTS online trading system that's included in the games, for free!
Okay, but where's the National Dex? >.>
Still, a ten outta ten is a ten outta ten.
(no, the lack of a national dex doesn't really bother me much. In fact, it only makes it easier for me to achieve 100% pokedex completion!)
There are reports that the other version's Lycanroc is actually available too, in the last island (but your Rockruff will still only evolve to your version's Lycanroc).
Ooh! Inticreates and Blaster Master? This definitely has my attention! (even though the only Blaster Master I've ever beaten was Overdrive on WiiWare, which was awesome!)
@gatorboi352 I don't know... Ever since the Nintendo 64 era*, Nintendo has never been known for having the most powerful hardware when compared to their competitors' offerings -Sony and Microsoft.

I'm terrible at bullet hell shooters, so... no, thanks.

Hmmm....

Well, it was to be expected.

Re: Video: It's Not Hard to Spot the Difference in This Super Mario Maker 3DS & Wii U Comparison
Yeah, it's a pretty big difference.
Re: Reminder: There's Another Chance to Pick Up Arceus for X, Y, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire
Yep, got mine already.
Re: Video: Prepare for Pixel Goodness With the Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment Trailer
So, it's essentially a whole new game? And for free (for those who already own the original)? That's awesome!
Re: Review: Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS (3DS)
Online connectivity is entirely possible on the 3DS. That Mario Maker won't use it in a meaningful way is baffling, and even a little insulting.

So... Angelo is Trunks.

Re: Random: Pokémon Red Glitch Used to Beat Another Game Boy Title With a 'Credits Warp'
Impressive!
That's what you get for not initializing all RAM at start up!
Re: Ditto is Out in the Wild in Pokémon GO
This kills MatPat's latest theory, and not even 24 hours after he uploaded it!

Re: Random: You Can High-Five Your Pokémon in Sun and Moon
This was a feature in Gen 6 too, but only for some pokemon, like Pikachu and Eevee.
Re: AM2R And Pokémon Uranium Nominations Revoked At 2016 Game Awards
Bummer.
Re: Rumour: New Version of Pokémon Sun And Moon, Pokémon Stars, Is Coming to the Nintendo Switch
I like this, because it would mean hi-res, HD, lag-free Pokemon!

Re: Nintendo Drops The Ban Hammer on Pokémon Sun and Moon Pirates
@sonicmeerkat
On the other hand, that was a pretty terrible demo, and hardly representative of the actual game.

Re: Nintendo Drops The Ban Hammer on Pokémon Sun and Moon Pirates
Them's the risks of being a pirate.
Interesting that it took Nintendo this long to do something about it.
Re: Video: This Pokémon Picture Book Showcases the IP's Cute Appeal
Okay, but why is Meowth putting Aipom's thumb/tail in its mouth? (3:00)
Re: Review: Pokémon Sun and Moon (3DS)
@DragonEleven
Base shiny rate is the same as in ORAS (1 in 4096).
As in previous games, there are ways to increase those odds.
Re: Review: Pokémon Sun and Moon (3DS)
@Yorumi
Yeah, you can still transfer older mons to Sun/Moon and use them, there just won't be a pokedex entry for them.

Re: Review: Pokémon Sun and Moon (3DS)
@Yorumi
Yes, we know for sure due to the leaks and people having already beaten/dissected the entire game.

If they find a way to add more games, that would be great.

Goodnight, sweet prince.
Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon Version Exclusives Leaked Online
There are reports that the other version's Lycanroc is actually available too, in the last island (but your Rockruff will still only evolve to your version's Lycanroc).
Re: Video: Here's The GameCube Diddy Kong Racing Sequel We Never Got To Play
Cool, but why is Diddy standing on the rhino's butt?
Re: Feature: The Most Intriguing Features in Pokémon Sun and Moon
Yeah, well, the entire game was leaked. We know everything now. All of it. Names, stats, movesets, plot points, etc, etc, etc.

Oh, no doubt about that. I mean, it had all contest stats maxed out, and like a dozen ribbons.

Whoa. Those Pokemon Centers are huge!
Re: Reminder: The Distribution of Mythical Pokémon Genesect is Underway
A couple days ago, I randomly got a shiny Genesect in a Wonder Trade. I was quite surprised, to say the least.
Re: Video: Check Out the First North American Pokémon Sun and Moon Commercial
It's adequate.

We'll see.
Re: Rumour: Last Wii U Consoles Roll Off The Production Line This Week
@gatorboi352
I don't know...
Ever since the Nintendo 64 era*, Nintendo has never been known for having the most powerful hardware when compared to their competitors' offerings -Sony and Microsoft.
(*sure, the N64 might have been more powerful than the PS1 in some respects, but a number of bottlenecks held it back)
Re: Rumour: Last Wii U Consoles Roll Off The Production Line This Week
Good night, sweet prince. You did nothing wrong.
(the marketing people did)
