Pokemon Sun and Moon Discussion Thread (Questions in OP)

Seventh Gen. Revealed

The Pokémon video game series is turning 20 this week, and Nintendo is determined to mark the occasion with a bang. It's hosting a Pokémon Direct on February 26th where it will be "celebrating" the anniversary... and, presumably, announcing some new games. The company isn't saying anything about what's coming, but Nerdleaks has unearthed recently-filed trademarks for both Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon -- it doesn't take much to connect the dots and realize that these are the games Nintendo is most likely to show during its live stream. We wouldn't rule out some surprises, but it sounds like you'll once again have a reason to catch Pikachu and crew.

Keep in mind these are official trademarks that have been filed, so it's no elaborate hoax.



What do we want in these games?


1. Battle Frontier was not present in the Pokemon 3rd Generation remakes. This, to me, is an absolute must given that provides so much replay value outside of level grinding and completing the pokedex.

2. Make the Elite 4 harder. Remember back in the days of Red/Gold when you got to Lance and just wanted to kill yourself because of his Dragonite hoard? I think the E4 should average level 60-70 or higher THE FIRST TRY. Not the rematches when they actually implement that.

3. Go back to the roots of the franchise and don't focus so much on legendaries. I feel that all the Pokemon company's efforts lately has been put in to creating the most OP and cool looking legendaries and basing the games off of them, which was not the theme of the first two generations.

4. USE AN ORCHESTRA LIKE THEY DID IN ORAS. Those remixes were beautiful.

5. Lastly, create more tension between the main rivals. I feel that after generation one, the rivalry just lost all its flare.



So what do you think?
