Unova dex is a literal Gen 1 copy/paste

Not this nonsense again 

 

ofc when you remove zubat you will need another bat to put in caves

..etc

If you remove all the gen1 look-alikes, you will still have more talent than the kaloose dex

 

[SlowGinFizzzz]

Obviously the Unova games are miles better than the Kalos games overall, but Kalos Pokémon designs >> Unova Pokémon designs. 

[butterflymimi]

I actually caved yesterday and bought the dlc and stayed up until 5am finishing it 

 

obsessed with ogerpon and I found this story much more engaging than the mainline story, cannot wait for the next dlc 

 

now i gotta start the rest of the game with my level 40s, lol

Not in the slightest. 

[Hallad173]

Has anyone played PokeMMO? 
 

If so, what did you think? Worth a try or nah?

[sunbathinganimal]

Kalos has this monstrosity so it loses by default

 

[Desire]

Not the Gen 5 v Gen 6 discourse again when both are trash

[Magickarp]

the alleged "quality over quantity" dex 

 

 

vs these classique icons  the way the Kalosite mons have absolutely no legacy

 

[UnusualBoy]

Not the UNOva vs Kalos argument again, Kalos wins just by Grenlegend and mexican excellence Hawlucha plus 3 stunning legendaries.

[UnusualBoy]

Anyway, I got a shiny Sinistcha, it's grown on me A LOT!!!

 

I'll make it part of my competitive team  

 

[Heldenzeit]

So Kalosers once again stir **** up, tasteful Godnova stans defend themselves and then we are the ones getting called out. Not on my watch, lil Pokemonsters! 

[BambiStar]

Kitkatami using the Johto battle theme  also just recently found out that they reintroduced Sport Balls in Sw/Sh DLC and updated the description to specify they're from the Bug Catching Contest in the Johto region? Let's Go Togepi and Marill 2024 transition game confirmed! Game Freak is never subtle with their hints so if DLC Part 1 is leaning Johto and Part 2 Unova then I think we all know what's coming first 

[BambiStar]

also in regards to evil team supremacy I feel like Gen 1 Team Rocket gets unfairly labeled 'boring', but they're just an organized crime gang being compared to like Saturday morning cartoon eco terrorists so of course they're going to seem plain  I think it's pretty cool how REAL they are. Giovanni is some king pin who can make moves in silence while having a high profile job as Gym Leader, backroom operations in a casino, planting his goons as scientists in the largest battling supplies manufacturer in the region to create the ultimate Pokeball. It shows how insidious Mafia and other gangs can be in a community, country, etc. Also why Team Plasma is great because, again, they feel real. Using propaganda to control people is a real thing!

 

But y'all would rather stan the incel trying to create a new universe cause he couldn't get any puss in the current one 

[Heldenzeit]

YUP YUP YUP, gen 5 winning again 

[Magickarp]

TIL that 22% of G1 mons are  type

Also, give king a LGPE Partner form

I feel like Swanna ate this gen

like she looks more majestic than usual. GEN 5 keeps stomping

I’m finding it a slog to get through the DLC, everything is an eyesore. Gamefreak are still doing the “skip to a black screen” transition. It’s still buggy and clunky. There’s still more exposition and wordy telling, rather than showing. 
 

And I hate that it’s making me lie to Kiki. 

[Relampago.]

Kalos is definitely the most forgettable gen in existence, nothing that’s really that amazing besides Greninja + XYZ + a small handful of other mons. Everything else is bad to mediocre at best. 

 

Unova aged like wine. I used to hate most of the designs but it has some of the best designs of all time (Volcarona, Chandelure, Bisharp..) and the “bad” ones ended up being fine in the end. Plus it was the last gen with sprites, which are miles better than all the 3D models which took the life out of every design. 

[SashaDevachelli]

Finished the dlc, I thought the story was really cute and engaging! I think this was mostly a set up in preparation for the indigo disk which will be the meat and potatoes of the dlc. I absolutely adore Kieran, and I think it’s great to have a nice rival turn evil, I hope he serves deranged in the next dlc, but hopefully he gets a redemption arc.

I will say that I found the new area to be kind of meh, I think I enjoyed exploring Isle of Armor more than this one. The crystal pool was glamorous however, ofc legend Milotic resides in such a gorgeous place.

 

This dlc has also given me some excitement for gen 5 remakes, seeing all the fugly Unova mons come back and the references everywhere made me excited for what is to come. The way they handle these remakes will certainly make or break long time fans of the series, they cannot *** this up. (They will but oh well) 

[SLIME]

I have picked this game back up after 6 months off in preparation for the DLC, gotten all the badges and just fought the director. I appreciate a lot of the Quality of Life improvements that were missing in the 3DS games (maybe Sword had some of them but god I couldn't finish that game). I think exploring the DLCs and raising new teams of baby underrated mons like Yanma is going to be cute. My biggest complaint is that I felt like I was fumbling around the world and I never knew WHAT level my Pokemon were supposed to be at. Hopefully my level 65 Tera Water Garchomp can solo the endgame.

[SLIME]

i don't dislike any Gen 6 mons so there's that. but any generation with Ferrothorn wins.

[Heldenzeit]

Kalos does have Pancham, Skiddo and Pumpkaboo tho. So they did knock some pre-evos out of the park.

The universal lashings  I launched the DLC last night, & quit before we even left for Kitakami  It was so boring. Maybe i'll try again today.

 

 

[WitnessOblivia]

I think this DLC is much better than what we got for Sword and Shield tbh 

But yeah, GF remains talentless.
