But...Peach and Daisy DO have a counter.

@Antraxx777 if you’re into the same pizzicato and piano orchestration for practically every single track then sure. I’m not, there are more interesting ways of making music sound pleasant through orchestration. I will say though, there are a couple where it genuinely suits the theme, especially the Trainer Battle and Lavender Town.

I really hate the music arrangements in this game. Thank god Shota Kageyama was working on this and presumably not the new Pokémon game for next year. His orchestrations here and for Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire (and even most of his tracks in XY) completely sterilized anything interesting about the music. He wasn’t involved in Sun and Moon at all, and that’s the best soundtrack they’ve had in years. Minako Adachi and Hitomi Sato are so much better as composers for Pokémon—girl power, am I right?

I’m guessing that’s a typo and you meant Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon? Pokémon Sun and Moon have had 24 months on the market, not 12.

This is a spoiler that is really obnoxious to see in the title...Red was not in the original games (technically, your character was Red) and I’ve been avoiding trailers, so sorry if he was shown in one, but yeah this is really kind of a bummer to be spoiled about considering this game has so few surprises anyway. Please be more conscious in the future—I’m not being butthurt, that’s a legitimate request.

This looks Americanized and awful. This isn’t what Pokémon is. This isn’t even what the Detective Pikachu game was. This leaves a sick feeling in my stomach.

“From Baroque to Romantic?” Where is the love for contemporary period and atonal music 😭

I wish Nintendo Life would either drop the number system or start awarding 10/10s instead of being too scared to ever actually do so.

This list is absolute nonsense. Ruby and Sapphire being marked so far from Emerald? Diamond and Pearl being at the bottom with Platinum near the top? Theyre practically the same game. Besides which, you literally just listed the games’ features instead of giving any reasons for why you ranked them in this order. Awful, poorly-written list.

This is far and away the best NSMB game in my opinion, especially factoring in the Luigi game. I 100%ed the games on Wii U, and I’m going to buy it again on Switch. This is honestly a dream announcement for me, playing on Switch sounds amazing.

Ughhhh I hope this ends up being good, and I’ll keep an open mind, but Shota Kageyama is the worst composer to have ever worked on Pokémon games. He didn’t work on Sun and Moon at all, handing the reins over to the likes of Minako Adachi and Hitomi Sato, and those two women (along with a few tracks by Go Ichinose and Jun’ichi Masuda) composed a soundtrack six times as good as X and Y, which was dominated by his sound. I sincerely hope Kageyama’s technique has improved from the bland style he’s had before, because even his arrangements of the great tracks in Ruby and Sapphire sort of “sanitized” them in ORAS.

This is honestly more exciting than the Nintendo Direct.
