Honestly I was a bit worried when I heard that they're releasing a game just a year after the previous one. Especially since the name Ultra Sun implies that it's just an enhanced version. Like, what the hell did I buy regular Sun for?
At least it's a different story I guess. I still feel like I shouldn't have bothered buying Sun, though.

TBH I'm looking forward to USUM. All I'm looking for are frame-rate fixes and a good amount of new content. Give me that, and I'll be a happy guy ^_^

I'll take a few new ultra beasts and/or Alolan forms. I'd like to see new megas but I doubt it because they want megas dead

I think Megas are gonna become the way to sell remakes. Mind you, I'd also like seeing USUM incorporate the Mega Ring a bit earlier in the story. Maybe before Mt. Lanakila so we can face a gauntlet of trainers (& maybe the Elite Four) that uses Megas ^_^

On a more serrious note, so far having just cleared the first grand trial in US, I genuinely can't say I've seen much reason so far why USUM shouldn't have just been the original versions of SM. You know, aside from the fact it sells more games/ect. which in fairness is really no different than 3rd version games in the past. Regardless, I do look forward to the promise of it going into more detail/story regarding Ultra Beast/Space, which is something I always felt was glaringly missing in SM (it felt like it was setting up for it, but then that plot-line ended abruptly with a single villain battle and a post-game side-quest that was little more than a means/excuse to catch UBs).

It really would have benefited from another year in-between the release of the games, or alternatively if they were done as sequels instead of revamps/expansions. It's a bit hard to really get into it when a large part of the story (at least so far) is something you've already seen just a year earlier.

I feel like the only purpose of the original was to sell more copies and emphasise the whole "multiple parallel universes" thing. I am enjoying UM right now for sure but I'm already to the ghost trial and while there's definitely a lot of changes only a select few seem significant.

So this is a pretty big step for me, 'cause I never thought I'd ever share what I consider part of my regular life with you guys, but this is something that I care a lot about. Here goes!

Hi, I'm Alfonse*. I'm an avid VGC player and will be one of the commentators for a VGC '18 tournament at Rutgers Esports's Fireside Open later today.

There will be a stream at https://www.twitch.tv/rutgerspokemon starting around 1 pm. This event is gonna be particularly exciting because it'll be one of the first in-person VGC '18 tournaments in the states if not the world, so there's a whole frontier of strategies to explore.

This is gonna be my first time ever commentating, but I've been playing a few games in this format and I'm super passionate about being in the casting seat. Fingers crossed I can do a good job.

If you're curious about competitive battling, especially in VGC, I encourage you to tune in! :)

*Please continue calling me ZD here on the forums. Just feels more appropriate that way haha ^_^

Aaaaah, I just got home from work, not sure if I missed it, it looks like it's on a break right now, maybe?

But at any rate man, that's pretty awesome! I dabbled a bit in VGC back at the start of the year and for the most part enjoyed the strategy and mind games of it. Had some really good, close battles in a couple of the online comps. If I get time (once I actually get US beat... heh) I'll probably try playing around with it a bit again.

Just a random thing for ZD when he gets around to seeing it; regarding people attacking their own side; I once fought a guy whose Noivern used Z-Tailwind (crit. rate boost) then Shadow Clawed into his own Krookodile. Said Krookodile had Anger Point, and it triggered... rather literally, come to think of. Would have been quite scary had I not immediately OHKO'd that +6 monster.

Seriously DF, it's huuuge that you were able to tune in. I had a blast commentating, and it's great knowing that there were some familiarity in the stream crowd :)

And check on the likes of Twitter, Trainer Tower, r/stunfisk, and any other places that discuss VGC. I have a good feeling that massive information and discussion will come out of this event :D

That's a pretty big deal. I'm glad you got that opportunity! VGC sounds fun, but I don't have the energy to train up for something serious like that. Maybe one day...


On the subject of the games - yeah, I feel that these games are too similar to the originals for comfort. They come across like what a future-gen remake of Sun and Moon might be like - some new features/forms/characters/plotlines added, but otherwise the same model. Whereas Black/White 2 had you start out in an entirely new area and ended up being the biggest pokemon games ever made, which is why I think US/UM might have been better off as sequels rather than "alt-universe" stories. Also, for all the talk of having the most content of any pokemon game, site coverage wrapped up pretty quickly and uneventfully.

To be fair I have enjoyed it more than Moon but at the same time that's mostly because you know the story, you're just anticipating the differences. I also appreciated the chance to go through Alola again because there were a lot of really nice pokemon in Alola that I wanted to use but hadn't got the chance to use because I was using others. :P

In Moon I used Decidueye, Dugtrio, Vikavolt, Araquanid, Mimikyu, and Minior and then in Ultra Moon I used Incineroar (mostly because Decidueye was just such an awful starter I did not want to go through the game handicapped by it, even if Incineroar is ugly), Muk, Sandslash, Crabominable, Lurantis, and Pallosand and I still didn't get to use all the Pokemon I'd have wanted to.

Reading that one article got me thinking a bit on the subject of Rain teams and how my team last year handled them. Firstly as an aside though, I can't say the continued reign of Rain surprises me. I really do hope in the future we see more balance/love for the other weathers.

Now, on my team last year I had one thing that was pretty much my main counter to Rain teams, and one that I found proved very effective; Alolan Ninetales. I had NOTHING else on my team that got any specific benefit from Hail (unless you're kind-of counting Aurora Veil?) but simply having something on my team that I could switch in to deny my opponent their weather was clutch. Freeze Dry made it excellently well-suited to take out the Water-types now left without their Rain, and being 4x effective against Pelipper was particularly nice. Sadly it's only 2x against Politoed, who looks to be the new rain-setter of choice, but it does also gain a new ideal victim in the form of Ludicolo. Having used this team a few times out of format in just regular doubles last year too, I can attest to just how badly it hurts the usually annoying sombrero-duck. Without rain to boost its speed -which you've hopefully just eliminated by switching in to set up Hail- Ludicolo is quite literally a sitting duck for Ninetales.

It will remain to be seen if I find as much use for A.Ninetales this year, but the presence of Rain teams makes me hopeful that it may still have a shot.
