20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?

Definitely both. While the trials fit in with the climate of Alola, having Gyms alongside them would be even better.

Eruption August 22nd, 2017 7:41 AM

20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?

Both for sure. I'm happy to see Trials given another run though, it's still a nice change.

CF1994 August 22nd, 2017 7:50 AM

20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?

A combination of both to emphasise the power and scale of responsibility of both the Totem and the Trial Captain.

The Gym aspect includes puzzles to access the boss, and fighting the captain immediately afterwards. This makes Z-Crystals an ever bigger challenge, but valuable long term award to earn.

20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?

I'd love both. Trials before the gyms, and then the gyms as the true tests.

clbgolden August 22nd, 2017 11:52 AM

20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?

Both. Trials for the main game, gyms in the post-game.

20. Both. Trials are fun, and so are gyms. Having both means we can have more fun and spend more time in the game. :3

strangerhypno August 22nd, 2017 6:44 PM

19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM?

Nah, Alola pokemon are already powerful and popular

20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?

Don't care tbh, trials are like gyms in some ways

21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story.

It will be interesting no doubt. I just hope that it's a complete different take, à la Black 2 & White 2. I will be very disappointed if it's more akin to Yellow/Crystal/Emerald/Platinum where the story is the same with only a few minor differences. Even a few major differences would be disappointing if the main story was more or less a carbon copy of the originals.

Iceshadow3317 August 23rd, 2017 5:21 AM

20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?

There is no doubt that I love Gyms more. And trials are ok, but they are boring. I'd like a mix of both, but I wish each trial actually had a battle after. So for example:
After doing, Lana's, Mallow's, and Kiawe's trials on Akala, we would have to battle them before we take on the Totem Pokemon.


21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story.
I hope it is different, but I don't want them to ruin the character's personalities. Lillie acting like Gladion and Gladion acting like Lillie just doesn't make sense to me and I think it would end up making the story worse.

Hikamaru August 23rd, 2017 6:33 AM

21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story.

Same reasons as Alakazam. I want the story to be notably different like B2/W2 and not a minor difference like Emerald and Platinum. And like IcyIce said, I don't want the characters we know and love to done a complete 180 on us.

EC August 23rd, 2017 6:41 AM

21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story

Whatever it is, I hope there is less hand holding. Every two routes there's another story beat taking 5 minutes.

CF1994 August 23rd, 2017 8:26 AM

21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story?

1. Put some focus on characters who were quite underused in SM's story. (Kahili, Mina, Ryuki, just to name a few.)

2. As EvilChameleon established; less hand holding would be far more welcoming.

3. At least allow the player to save the game after beating the Champion, for instance.

4. Make the story have enough differences in it's structure and format to justify the purchase.

kingdenas August 23rd, 2017 8:51 AM

21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story

Hmm, I really want to see a plot in which the guardian deities have a more important role. Everyone talked about them but they almost didn't intervine in the plot ( with Tapu Koko being an exception, but still...).

I would also love to see more Ultra Beasts causing chaos or at least taking a role as well.... not just being part of a post-game hide&seek game. I felt disappointed with the fact that basically Nihilego was the only UB participating in a great part of the plot. I want to see a nice story for the (other) UB's. Something more in-depth about their strengths and weaknesses, and also how they affect their sorroundings, etc... Idk if I explained myself well xD

blue August 23rd, 2017 10:46 AM

21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story

A storyline that involves the Aether Foundation once again which hopefully includes Colress and Lusamine.

clbgolden August 23rd, 2017 10:51 AM

21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story

I REALLY liked the story in Sun and Moon, so my only hope is that they cut down on some of the cutscenes.

Desert Stream~ August 23rd, 2017 3:39 PM

21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story

Don't change the characters. Adding more backstory is fine, but don't change them. They're all likeable for a reason.

21. Only thing I wish/hope for USM is that it has a lot of postgame content. :3

1. Your current level of interest in/excitement for the games!
- I still remember I was superbly excited about having a new Pokemon game!
(It's always been this way, even my hated Unova.)

2. A Pokemon you hope is in the USUM regional dex
- I don't have a specific Pokemon but I'd say Ditto for easy breeding, though you can already transfer them from your Sun/ Moon since Pokebank has been opened for so long...

And Scyther for a reason below.

3. A Pokemon you would like to see get an Alola form
- Johto Pokemon need to get more loves.

4. Will you play as a boy or a girl?
- Boy, as usual.

5. A character from SM that you hope returns/gets an expanded role
- Lillie, Lusamine, and Gladion (Duh!).

6. A character from a past gen game you would like to see return
- Riley and Lance. I love them.

7. A rumour that you think/hope is false
- Fusion outside of Lunala/ Solgaleo and Necrozma I guess. It'll get too complicated.

8. A Legendary/Mythical Pokemon that you'd like to see in USUM
- The Time and Space Master and the owner of the Distortion World.

9. A Pokemon you would like to see made into a Pokeride
- Scyther for Cut?

10. Your initial reaction to USUM's announcement
- WOW. YAY!!!

11. An item of clothing you would like to see added to the games
- Jacket sounds impossible since the climate is warm and humid; But I'd say raincoats for the rainy areas! You don them on right away.

12. Which starter will you choose?
- I'd probably try Popplio this time if they allow soft resetting without repeating the whole front story like in Sun/ Moon. Yes I judge gender and yes I want a female Popplio.
Or else it'd be Rowlet, again.

13. A feature from SM you hope is expanded upon/changed
- Festival Plaza need to change back to the old one in X and Y. It's just so frustrating.

14. A Pokemon that you would make into a Totem
- Alolan Ninetales. Ice trial please.

15. Your planned team for your playthrough
- Primarina/ Decidueye, Dusk Lycanroc are the only 2 (3) confirmed ones for now.

16. A feature from a past game you'd like to see added
- VS. Seeker perhaps, and Pokemon following you.

17. A Pokemon that you would like to see get its own Z-Move
- Alolan Ninetales because I am biased.

18. A rumour that you think/hope is true
- 4th Lycanroc form.

19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM
- A 4th form Lycanroc would be nifty.

20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?
- I'd love both, double the fun and challenge!

21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story
- I hope it'll be an sequel to Sun and Moon.

22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM?
- Much more harder would be good. Help that we can transfer Pokemon over for the new game now, so we aren't limited much anymore this time round.

23. Your ideal postgame
- More characters from the past you can fight with/ you battling the people you've met on certain days like in HGSS.

24. Your most wanted thing for USUM
- More Alolan varients.

25. Your least wanted thing for USUM
- Festival Plaza.

26. A music track from SM you'd like remixed for USUM
- I always switch the game mute sorrynotsorry.

27. Which version will you buy?
- As always, the blue side so Ultra Moon. Already preordered!

28. What would you like to see released after USUM?
- SINNOH REMAKE.

29. Your thoughts on the latest news?
- Loving everything thus far!

30. One month later...your new current level of interest in/excitement for the games!
- Still anticipating! We are less than 3 months to the game!

PlatinumDude August 24th, 2017 2:55 AM

17. A Pokemon that you would like to see get its own Z-Move: Flygon, to make up for its lack of Mega Evolution in Gen VI
18. A rumour that you think/hope is true: none yet; the Mimikyu one was false.
19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM: Possibly Crabominable to make it more suited for environments elsewhere.
20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?: Mix of both
21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story: More postgame content, including something close to the PWT or the Battle Frontier

Iceshadow3317 August 24th, 2017 3:13 AM

22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM?

I don't care it will always be easy now that I know and have played the game for almost 20 years. There is no making it harder. And I don't won't a game that is going to make me rage quit. I think BW was the perfect difficulty. They need to keep the EXP Share as well, as it makes it easier to train pokemon. Maybe make it come later in the game.

Alakazam17 August 24th, 2017 4:31 AM

22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM?

Harder. Always harder. The games are getting too easy.

Hikamaru August 24th, 2017 4:48 AM

22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM?

S/M already had difficulty to it with opponents that had crazy strategies and my Pokemon often getting killed. So, I'd say keep US/UM at the same difficulty.

blue August 24th, 2017 6:00 AM

22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM?

Harder, but more focusing on the regular trainers and some of the boss battles. While the difficulty is fine in SM, most of the trainers have 1-2 Pokémon at most which feels ridiculous by the time you reach the 3rd/4th island.

CF1994 August 24th, 2017 6:28 AM

22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM?

Equally as hard in difficulty when confronting important characters, like the evil team Leader, the Elite Four, and/or the Champion.

However, I would like the E4 and Champion's teams to range in their mid to late 70s to make level grinding much easier.

I'd also include an optional bonus boss who uses Chansey, Blissey, and Mega Audino to make those extra EXP a bigger award to earn, assuming they won't let us use Blissey Bases, like last time in ORAS.

EC August 24th, 2017 7:26 AM

22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM?

Hmm. I think it should be the same. Some of the Totem Pokemon were pretty challenging, especially since the support Pokemon they called in were good counters.
