Blacephalon-They ALL float Stakataka-The blocks have eyes Poiple-It's not a tumor Naganadel-????????(Dragon... beedri- uh PASS) or "What IS your name exactly?" Zeraora-Hey guys! I got a SHINY.. Lucario???
Magearna was actually introduced in gen 6 YBlacephelon, Stakataka and Poipole are Utra versions so you cannot expect those when this only covers Sun and moon
New pokémon are always shown early as teasers though... Togepi was shown in gen 1, but is a gen 2 pokémon. Blaziken was shown in gen 2, but is a gen 3 pokémon... Etc... Magerna was revealed during gen 6, but is still a gen 7 mon :b
Poipole - Elmer’s Glue Naganadel - My **** is this big Stakataka - The longest game of Jenga Blacephalon - Dippin’ Dots Zeraora - Furry Bait 101 Meltan - InCOGDitto Melmetal - After a night at the gym
that's because sun and moon lets all the other characters express emotions but because your character is a silent player noooo she/he can't have emotions. At least zelda games understand to give Link emotions during cutscenes.. that makes a world of difference. See Pokemon, you can have a silent playable character that shows some emotion.. I hope they changed it for ultra.
I’m from Hawaii and when this game came out, everyone joked about it basically being the Hawaii state. Then we all pointed out how Pearl Harbor wasn’t on the game map...which the Japanese bombed in the war.
I glanced at the comments after seeing the beginning, and thought that was a bit harsh. Then I watched the video and instead of any comment readings, they just had the Wendy's logo? Definitely some soul selling going on.
"In essentially the same plot pokemon had from the beginning" and here I am enough of a nerd to point out that the plot in sun and moon is actually rather diferent than the norm; hell, there is an actual central plot which the events of the game focus on now, instead of it being mostly something your character stumbles onto and ends up fixing.
Someone actually defended these games? Wild they were the worst plot games Pokémon ever came out with and the side games exist. It’s like every time they make a shitty game they sequel it happened with black and white too
Something seemed off about this honest trailer.... I know I'm not the only one who noticed! They didn't even do that thing where Jon says funny things from the comments section.
While every other Pokemon honest trailer was on the ball, I think this one really missed the point of Sun and Moon and got quite a lot wrong. For one, this game actually somewhat breaks the typical Pokemon conventions by not having a real league until the very end, when you become the first champion, not having the bad guys trying to threaten the world (really, you're just trying to save Lusamine from her own insanity), and allowing you to defend your title. Also, Team Skull was never supposed to be taken seriously as an antagonist group since nobody in game really does (except Lillie, who by the way is bae), and this game, despite the bright, tropical atmosphere, is one of the most mature and dark in the series.
I agree to most of your statements. However, I do not think that their previous trailers were "on the ball", since they basically imply that every Pokémon release is exactly the same game, which is a dangerous thing to tell someone who has never played one. In my opinion, anyone who says Gen V did not break any conventions (no Gen I-IV Pokémon during the main storyline; making you question whether catching Pokémon is unethical; you don't actually fight the champion in BW; and, most importantly, releasing direct sequels, that actually continue the story, during the very same generation instead of the obligatory third version) clearly hasn't played these games yet. Also, most people generally ignore the fact that each of the 26 officially released canonical Pokémon games (soon to be 28, not counting 'Colosseum', 'XD: Gale of Darkness', and the 'Ranger' titles) adds to the overall worldbuilding by taking us to new places and telling fresh, exciting stories about characters overcoming their flaws. Take Silver, a.k.a. ???, for example. Even before we found out about his heritage, we knew that he is conflicted and trying to hide his frustration by appearing ruthless and vile at first, only slowly becoming more nuanced as his character arc progresses. The fact that he's the son of Team Rocket's leader Giovanni, in my opinion, adds a lot of weight to his character. Now we know that he is also struggling about matching his father's expectations. (If you have time, check out the brilliant mini series "Pokémon Generations". There is one episode that sheds light on their emotionally abusive family relationship. The episodes are about 4-5 minutes long and available on the official Pokémon UA-cam channel.) Another popular example of a round character within the Pokémon narrative is Wally from R/S/E and OR/AS, the sickly, young boy from Petalburg City. During your first encounter with him, he seems overly timid and self-concious, wating to start a Pokémon journey on his own, despite his illness, but lacking the confidence. Losing to you, the player, multiple times gives him the much needed courage to overcome his fears and emancipate himself from his protective home (or rather, his relatives' residence in Verdanturf Town) to take responsibility into his own hands and eventually reach Hoenn's Victory Road without getting any help along the way (aside from the occasional Pokémon Center). An argument I have often heard from people is that we basically crush Wally's hopes and dreams by defeating him in Victory Road and effectively ruin all efforts he made along the way. However, I disagree! (Okay, no more jokes from now on, I promise.) What I'm trying to say is that rather than diminishing his new found confidence, losing to Brendan/May in Victory Road is an important moment for Wally, since this major loss to someone he considers his friend, rival and mentor basically tells him to further improve his strategy and combatting skills. Or let me put it this way: We didn't give up and quit frustratedly after losing our first gym battle, did we? Instead, we moved on. Speaking from my own experience, when I was but a rookie trainer, I was certainly determined on becoming a better Pokémon trainer, not just concerning strength (For reference, remember that in the trial in Dragon's Den, following the gym battle in Blackthorn City, Clair's grandfather, the mysterious but wise Dragon Master, tells you how it is equally important to show compassion towards Pokémon), until I finally managed to defeat Falkner (given that Silver was the first version I ever played). But seriously, read Wally's dialogue again and tell me that being defeated at Victory Road destroyed his confidence: "I feel like I've been able to take another step forward thanks to you!" (from OR/AS; Source: bulbapedia.net) Oh Arceus, he must be truly devastated! If I may add one thing, I think that the way Wally is written in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire actually gives him more personality (Not that he didn't have any in the originals, but OR/AS made his goals a lot clearer, I believe). In a similar fashion, the writing in the Hoenn remakes also adds a lot of depth to Team Magma and Team Aqua, who, I admit, had next to none believable motivation for their shenanigans in R/S/E. And concerning well written characters, we shall not forget Lillie from Sun and Moon. (I immediately loved her personality when I started playing. You must have too, even though I have no idea what "bae" means.) She is so afraid that her well hidden secret might slip in the first act of S/M (which would get her and poor Nebby into trouble) that she doesn't trust anyone at all, safe Professor Kukui, who is like a father to her. Upon meeting the player, she also isn't really too fond of Pokémon battles, to put it lightly, since she considers them violent and dangerous (This is yet another brilliant example of the Pokémon series questioning its own subject matter. Since we are able to relate to her very easily, as she is a likeable character, we also can understand her point of view). What I really like about Sun and Moon is that, while the player character's decisions obviously matter, Lilly is actually the real protagonist (at least, until the ending, sniff...), which is yet another example of the game's countless major formula changes. Think about it. It's her story, and one other major character is even related to her (since the game only came out last year, I won't include any spoilers here, but if you haven't played the game yet, what are you waiting for?). She even plays a large role in what I consider one of the game's MAJOR plot twists. And, most importantly, her character is in a different place at the end. (Can anybody hand me a tissue please?) So, what do all three of these characters have in common? If we compare their journeys to each other, we find that they differ greatly from each other. In fact, I think that the similarity lies in the execution. All characters have clear motivations, a major flaw or quirk they have to overcome, and they all develop (or rather EVOLVE). Basically, the most important aspect about good storytelling is that you should let your characters develop. But there has to be a certain delay in accomplishing that goal, by which I basically mean that a character who just out of the blue decides to change his/her behaviour comes across as unbelievable, so there has to be some sort of journey for them, like travelling from one place on the map to another. And that's what, in my opinion, most of the characters in Pokémon do, which is why they are as memorable as they are. If I had to pick a personal favourite, it would probably be Looker, everyone's favourite sharp-witted detective (though his personality, background and intentions were actually quite clouded until X and Y were released. Honestly, I like that about him, though. In the first act of Platinum, he is basically just a strange, mysterious man whom we know nothing about, and as time goes by we find out that he actually has a really tragic backstory. I should probably stop geeking out too much.)
Out of the Pokemon Honest Trailers they've done, this one is my second favorite. The names are just cute and funny. (ps: "Hawaiian tourism board" makes so much sense)
Now that he is up to date i kind want someone to edit all the pokemon namings together in just a single video because honestly at this point thats been my favorite part of each of these pokemon ones
Honestly everything about this trailer is tired(especially the narration and naming sections )some might said it reflect the fanhsise but this feels more phoned in then X and Y.
It's really not fair to reduce the story to be "the same stuff as always" It felt like an actual story this time around. Even those who think it was bad wouldn't say it was the same old shit
Furygam3r64 so what if the twist was foreseeable? I never said that the had surprises or anything, I just said it wasn't the same old stuff. We can agree that there's room for improvement in terms of quality, but would you really look at Red/Blue, comparing it to Sun/Moon and say the story is the same?
Ryan Olivier they should do it after Plain of eidolon or after we get to know what a warframe or umbra really is. It's too early to do it when a huuuuge update is on the corner
Well Ryan it's more of the huge games that are coming out that they are going to do I want them to do the stick of truth before the new South park game comes out
Justin Rusaw yeh we all know how warframe is. I just want this umbra thing to finally get to the light and see what it really is so we can move with the story
I actually do play the games for story as well, as Pokemon has had some great stories including Sun and Moon. It's more character invested than save the world, the characters grow and change throughout the story, learning from one another, and heck, the playable character isn't even the protagonist - Lillie is. She's the one who really undergoes an arc, makes sacrifices, takes initiative in what she is doing, and comes out the better for it. She may not be a fighter, but fighting isn't all there is to a great character or arc.
Well ... the story would have been good if it was not because they had already used the same plot in ... 20 years. And it's not because there were any surprise in the story. I almost figured out the whole story before the game was released. I had figured out the plot but not the whole story. Sorry but a story does not get any better by repeating it over and over and over and over again. There is less difference to that story than the original story as there is in the Hobitten the movie and the Hobitten book. That's just the truth.
Geodracula I did not say they were not different, and you've obviously never read the Hobite. And you say, you're not the hero. But who saves so Alola? It was not Lillie there stopped the Ultra Beasts. The problem is that they are not making a new plot. It looks like the same demented man who writes the same story over and over again, and only remembers the plot. It's not hard to make a new plot. An orphan who lives in orphanages, and does not really know about pokemon, who has to flee from the city as it is being attacked by an evil army. He can choose to escape three roads and from the path he chooses, he gets his pokemon. And so on from there. Maybe make an open story instead so it does matter what you say and do. Maybe put another goal into the game. I do not know, find either his girlfriend or his parents. Become friends with all pokemon. Find a new home. Stop the evil army. And yes. I just pull them out of the ass. Even a dog can make a better plot, just by running after treats lying on the cards. In fact, any new plot will be a better plot because it will be a new plot. When you use the same plot for twenty years in 25 games, it becomes too boring, old and used. It's simple logic. But it's fine if you think it's a good plot that can never get old. Taste and pleasure are different.
3:15 "Emo Owl." You guys obviously didn't play the game or at least pick Rowlet as your starter if that's what you went with :l It's the most conceited bird in the franchise. Have you seen its hair flips?
Also lets not forget having to pay another $40 for content that should have already been in the game or at the very least should have bee offered as DLC for the base game.
Evan Manor ha agreed and that's coming from a fan of the series. Someone's gonna bring up the argument that platinum and emerald are acceptable but I have a counter argument to that. The reason why platinum and emerald were accepted is because back then, the gba and the ds were incapable of downloading dlc and other updates (without remaking the game and selling it again) and dlc and patches didn't become widespread until the tail end of the 7th generation of consoles. The 3ds on the other hand is capable of downloading dlc and other updates so there is no excuse of them not making dlc.
Emerald atleast had a bit of different content because Watson, Winowa and Tate&Liza were buffed. The champion was changed. Raqauza was actually included in the story. You got to see both team Aqua and Magma and see how both are wrong. The battle frontier was creative as hell instead of just one facility. Ultra sun and moon only have the change of the story. Rest everything is the same, and even the story is the same for the most part of the game. So yeah usum is definitely not comparable to emerald.
I think this was a great improvement over X and Y. The only things I really want is Alolan forms of Pokémon from other regions and definitely a challenge Trainer area where I can actually get money and EXP, like the stadiums in B2/W2.
Yeah I mean it kinda sucks that Game Freak actually put a lot of effort in making Sun and Moon different and they just went with the obvious targets, but what do you expect with honest game trailers?
For me x and y are the superior onece. Pokemon designes are a lot better, hords are way better than this stupid sos system, battle chateau which does not exist in s/m starters sucks and poke pelago is broken
You didn't name them all. You forgot Necrozma. He's literally the star Pokemon in the Ultra Sun and Moon games you mentioned. How did you forget him?! Edit: Y'all forgot Magearna and Marshadow, too.
Necrozma, Magearna and Marshadow are all available in Sun and Moon. Necrozma you catch in post-game and Magearna and Marshadow were given out in events.
well, smosh's fans ask for pokémon yet Nintendo make an average of a new game every 6 months, with a whole new generation and mostly same mechanics/story. I'd be tired too if I had to repeat myself everytime, plus these videos takes a huge efforts and research to made
"...that they´re never going to make another Pokemon Snap..." 2020: Nintendo: Nope, let´s do a new Pokemon title thats NOT a main series game. We´ll remake Pokemon Snap
Pokemon sun and Moon is an awesome game but this trailer is so right. I'm currently actually replaying Pokemon Moon. And I am playing it for the plot thank you very much. XD

I cant belive you passed the opportunity to call toucannon "Froot Loops"
Biku Adhikari Follow your nose is their catchphrase so he kinda did.
3:20
Missed opportunity to call incineroar John cena as a furry
That fact he came up with all those joke names makes me impressed
He missed an opportunity in X & Y to call Dedenne “Dende” from dbz
Or call Bewear “Turning Red”
I came up with some names for the missing ones:
Necrozma- Rock Candy
Magearna- Gears of War
Marshadow- Mostly ghostly
Blacephalon-They ALL float
Stakataka-The blocks have eyes
Poiple-It's not a tumor

Melmetal - After a night at the gym
Kind of wish they mentioned how soulless your character looks at almost every scene.
that's because sun and moon lets all the other characters express emotions but because your character is a silent player noooo she/he can't have emotions. At least zelda games understand to give Link emotions during cutscenes.. that makes a world of difference. See Pokemon, you can have a silent playable character that shows some emotion.. I hope they changed it for ultra.
From the trailers we've seen, they definitely didn't. Still as stone-cold faced as ever.
Victini Gen 6 did it...
GinkoG yeah...i hate that..
+PatrioticSwellow Ikr old games didn't have them
You forget one thing
*ENDLESS CUTSCENES*
TerraTic Era's and necrozma
@@ceoofdinosaurs4276 I mean in the original SM, Necrozma was 'that' legendary that no one cared about, then ultra happened
TerraTic Era's also blacephalon
They're not that bad
I’m from Hawaii and when this game came out, everyone joked about it basically being the Hawaii state. Then we all pointed out how Pearl Harbor wasn’t on the game map...which the Japanese bombed in the war.
Sincerely, Agatha oof
I think Dhelmise was a decent compromise.
Be careful who you call ugly in middle school
Say 'we sold our souls to Wendy's'
this.
I glanced at the comments after seeing the beginning, and thought that was a bit harsh. Then I watched the video and instead of any comment readings, they just had the Wendy's logo? Definitely some soul selling going on.
+Michael Madness are you the one on their twitter?
Siddhant Goyal more then likely no
they're kinda forced to
2:24 “a new Pokémon snap mini game to remind you that they’re never gonna make a new Pokémon snap”
Little did he know...
I was going to comment that
Then immediately catch them because you're a sociopath XD
"In essentially the same plot pokemon had from the beginning"
and here I am enough of a nerd to point out that the plot in sun and moon is actually rather diferent than the norm; hell, there is an actual central plot which the events of the game focus on now, instead of it being mostly something your character stumbles onto and ends up fixing.
I see you're talking about Ultra Sun and Moon; that's not what the video was about.
Someone actually defended these games? Wild they were the worst plot games Pokémon ever came out with and the side games exist. It’s like every time they make a shitty game they sequel it happened with black and white too
I stand with you Maioly
This video: "never going to make pokemon snap"
*makes pokemon snap*
“The sewers after a pride parade” 😂😂😂👌
They're not wrong
A new team that is harder to take seriously then ever.

Something seemed off about this honest trailer....
I know I'm not the only one who noticed!
They didn't even do that thing where Jon says funny things from the comments section.
Reba Hashiri Yep, got replaced by hamburger ads this week. :/
lol, Does anyone still eat at Wendy's?
I haven't been there in years!
Reba Hashiri Last time I did, I ended up with food poisoning. Never again.
Rambler While I understand that reasoning, you risk that happening at any restaurant.
It seemed like he was reading from a script that was written while he was driving to the studio.
What about Necrozma?!
And Magearna and Marshadow.
waiting for ultra sun and moon
Ikr
you can tell they don't care about these at all
But necrozma is in sun and moon
Necrozma: Geometry Homework
Magearna: The Pokeball LIVES
Marshadow: Shadow Heartless
"Does more posing than Ginyu Force."
Hahaha.
RECOOOOMMEEEE!!!!
Well, that was a very uninspired episode without any kind of energy. Are you sick in a sense of having a cold? Or sick of Pokemon... Or both???
If you aren't sick of Pokemon I question your sanity.

He's infected by pokerus
Ask your doctor about lunala

While every other Pokemon honest trailer was on the ball, I think this one really missed the point of Sun and Moon and got quite a lot wrong.

4:03 Now, who here got a chuckle at this when they revealed Blacephalon's Signature Move?
28-A: You didn't go with Coldsteel the Hedgeheg? He's a hedgehog of ice and steel type.
Nah, because that would have taken a modicum of effort.
Brings back memories of Darkedge Bloodsword. Oh, the pain...
"Is that a palm tree or are exxegutor to see me"
This line sold my fate
Can't stop laughing now.
Wow this trailer was HALF ASSED.
An umbreon named Mel probably tired of doing it
So is the game series at this point.
It feels more honest and better than a bunch of previous ones. I enjoyed it.
Wait for the USUM honest trailers. Like the games, it'll have the stuff they didn't finish in time.
NEBBY!!!!
dont go near the bag
Irony
+Hector Daniel Either that, or reverse psychology.
Brendan Tham.
Brendan Tham nebby can't fit in the bag anymore
Brendan Tham i
Out of the Pokemon Honest Trailers they've done, this one is my second favorite. The names are just cute and funny. (ps: "Hawaiian tourism board" makes so much sense)
"They're never going to make another Pokemon Snap" That aged well
"Be careful who you call ugly in middle school"
me as a Pokemon
Same here 😂 but damn he ain't wrong about salazzle
3:43 wow, that's almost exactly its French name
I couldn't stop laughing thru this whole thing, but I about fell out of my chair at "Ask your doctor about Lunala" and "Pokemon, Son!"
Now that he is up to date i kind want someone to edit all the pokemon namings together in just a single video because honestly at this point thats been my favorite part of each of these pokemon ones
Where're Necrozma, Magearna and Marshadow?
*DEAD*
I just noticed that...
Probably going to be put in on a reupload, or included in Ultra Sun/Moon video.
I hope so.
Yeah I was wondering the samething
How satisfying is to rewatch this video in June 2020 as nintendo just announced a new Pokemon Snap? What a day, what a lovely day.
Isn't a Giant Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger just a regular bacon cheeseburger?
No! It's called a Baconator :P
Do you even Wendy's, bro?
Andy Cigars BUT BIGGER!
yeah it is
IKR!?! +_+
Shut
The chillest rival in the entire series is Hawaiian... That actually makes perfect sense
"A skinship system where you poke you Mons in the genitals until hearts come out"
:Spits out soda in laughter:
Honestly everything about this trailer is tired(especially the narration and naming sections )some might said it reflect the fanhsise but this feels more phoned in then X and Y.
OH c'mon some of the names are good. ADRIEEEEEEEANNNNNNNN lolol xd. I mean, maybe the honest trailer novelty is wearing off
The music was just not upbeat enough
Can you people watch any of these without complaining about something holy shit
2D Reviews ikr
+ Azure Triedge if you dislike people complaining then move to a new dimension cause that's not going away
5:05 "down" spelled wrong
indianawesomeness
Probably spelled wrong purposely to avoid the eventual downfall of this channel.
"who's main thing is posing more than ginyu force" gets me every time
*whose
It's really not fair to reduce the story to be "the same stuff as always"
It felt like an actual story this time around. Even those who think it was bad wouldn't say it was the same old shit
I would agree it certainly was darker no doubt about it. and we weren't the main character which was pretty cool i thought
As a huge Pokemon fan, its still the same old shit. Nothing that really matters ever changes. The story is still just shallow hand holding.
Made even worse by the fact that they're making the same video for all the main games. Stones and glass houses, Honest Trailers.
Oh please.
Everyone already knew the twist behind the Aether Foundation before the game even came out.
The plot came off as awfully cliched.
Furygam3r64 so what if the twist was foreseeable?
I never said that the had surprises or anything, I just said it wasn't the same old stuff. We can agree that there's room for improvement in terms of quality, but would you really look at Red/Blue, comparing it to Sun/Moon and say the story is the same?
Why have you guys not done the honest trailer for Warframe yet?!?!?!
Ryan Olivier they should do it after Plain of eidolon or after we get to know what a warframe or umbra really is. It's too early to do it when a huuuuge update is on the corner
Well Ryan it's more of the huge games that are coming out that they are going to do I want them to do the stick of truth before the new South park game comes out
That's right Diego Salazar it's still a game that isn't complete yet and will always be expanded until they feel as if they have done enough
Justin Rusaw yeh we all know how warframe is. I just want this umbra thing to finally get to the light and see what it really is so we can move with the story
because Warframe is too op to fuck with
"Sun and Mewn", I dig it xD
I actually do play the games for story as well, as Pokemon has had some great stories including Sun and Moon. It's more character invested than save the world, the characters grow and change throughout the story, learning from one another, and heck, the playable character isn't even the protagonist - Lillie is. She's the one who really undergoes an arc, makes sacrifices, takes initiative in what she is doing, and comes out the better for it. She may not be a fighter, but fighting isn't all there is to a great character or arc.
Rixec2 Sun and moon sucked hard
Well ... the story would have been good if it was not because they had already used the same plot in ... 20 years. And it's not because there were any surprise in the story. I almost figured out the whole story before the game was released. I had figured out the plot but not the whole story.
Sorry but a story does not get any better by repeating it over and over and over and over again. There is less difference to that story than the original story as there is in the Hobitten the movie and the Hobitten book.
That's just the truth.
Rixec2 too bad the main character is a silent protagonist that doesn’t even have facial expressions
*in tears* that... that was beautiful, man...
Geodracula
I did not say they were not different, and you've obviously never read the Hobite. And you say, you're not the hero. But who saves so Alola? It was not Lillie there stopped the Ultra Beasts.
The problem is that they are not making a new plot. It looks like the same demented man who writes the same story over and over again, and only remembers the plot.
It's not hard to make a new plot. An orphan who lives in orphanages, and does not really know about pokemon, who has to flee from the city as it is being attacked by an evil army. He can choose to escape three roads and from the path he chooses, he gets his pokemon. And so on from there. Maybe make an open story instead so it does matter what you say and do. Maybe put another goal into the game. I do not know, find either his girlfriend or his parents. Become friends with all pokemon. Find a new home. Stop the evil army. And yes. I just pull them out of the ass.
Even a dog can make a better plot, just by running after treats lying on the cards.
In fact, any new plot will be a better plot because it will be a new plot. When you use the same plot for twenty years in 25 games, it becomes too boring, old and used. It's simple logic.
But it's fine if you think it's a good plot that can never get old. Taste and pleasure are different.
Please do the Harry Potter game series
Feynstein 100 Those don't exist. They are a figment of your imagination
Yes yes yes 😀
Melvin Shaw hah
The Lego Harry Potter games is what he was probably talking about
Prisioner of Azkaban was the shit
I like how you called my two fav Pokémon, Fomantis and Lurantis, "another cute blob" and "Mrs. Scyther" lmfao.
say" POKEMON ZInc and Copper COMING SOON"
With Pokemon Tin as its 3rd installment of the Gen
lmao
Bart Simpson pokemon zircon
Missed opportunity to call Drampa
Falkor.
Do pokemon ultra sun and ultra moon honest game trailers
Febyan Hadidi probably not going happen since they do one per region
They won’t do it because Ultra is basically the same as the old one, except they added a story for necrozma.
Porterww. What about marshadow, magearna, poipole, nagandel, blacephelon and stakataka. Plus the newly added pokemon to the pokedex
Mikkel Witte The didn’t add that many new Pokémon. Plus plus the first two you mentioned are on the Sun and Moon first game dex
It's the same like only a few pokemon and forms.
Say "WENDY'S, HOME OF THE BACON CHEESEBURGER"!
3:15 "Emo Owl."
You guys obviously didn't play the game or at least pick Rowlet as your starter if that's what you went with :l It's the most conceited bird in the franchise. Have you seen its hair flips?
ADRIAAAAAAANNNNN!!!!!
"which, i guess we're gonna name all over again..." you can HEAR the regret
I just remember this episode when pokemon announce the return of pokemon snap
And this time a really good one
the number of typos in this shows you how much they regret naming all of them until the end of time
Also lets not forget having to pay another $40 for content that should have already been in the game or at the very least should have bee offered as DLC for the base game.
Evan Manor ha agreed and that's coming from a fan of the series.
Someone's gonna bring up the argument that platinum and emerald are acceptable but I have a counter argument to that. The reason why platinum and emerald were accepted is because back then, the gba and the ds were incapable of downloading dlc and other updates (without remaking the game and selling it again) and dlc and patches didn't become widespread until the tail end of the 7th generation of consoles. The 3ds on the other hand is capable of downloading dlc and other updates so there is no excuse of them not making dlc.
Emerald atleast had a bit of different content because Watson, Winowa and Tate&Liza were buffed. The champion was changed. Raqauza was actually included in the story. You got to see both team Aqua and Magma and see how both are wrong. The battle frontier was creative as hell instead of just one facility.
Ultra sun and moon only have the change of the story. Rest everything is the same, and even the story is the same for the most part of the game.
So yeah usum is definitely not comparable to emerald.
@@zan1971 everything went down after gen 5.
I think this was a great improvement over X and Y. The only things I really want is Alolan forms of Pokémon from other regions and definitely a challenge Trainer area where I can actually get money and EXP, like the stadiums in B2/W2.
Yeah I mean it kinda sucks that Game Freak actually put a lot of effort in making Sun and Moon different and they just went with the obvious targets, but what do you expect with honest game trailers?
In full honestly most of the alolan forms are honestly pretty trashy and lazy.
Zaharius Gallicchio How so? A lot of them are well researched and represent real life counterparts.
1Thunderfire the dooms in black and white and black 2 where never a change
For me x and y are the superior onece. Pokemon designes are a lot better, hords are way better than this stupid sos system, battle chateau which does not exist in s/m starters sucks and poke pelago is broken
"Tazer Face"
I can almost hear Rocket laughing hard in the background
Your voice is off monotone throughout most and seems like your reading a script (which you are) just isn't enjoyable
Qrow Branwen I think that is the point
Yeah I agree :/
It sounds like he had a cold. Killed the jokes.
what are you doing here? shouldn't you be in Mistral with Ruby and the others?
Qrow Branwen k
SIMPSONS HIT AND RUN! SIMPSONS HIT AND RUN!
*Simpsons hit and run*
Bart Simpson ahh you mean friendly GTA
Refreezerator 77 Yeah lol
Bart Simpson simpin
Yes! Please do!
I learned more about driving from this game than my high school drivers ed.
5:19 cracked me up i ended up thinking “ turtle power” after he said mermaid in a half shell
Do an Honest Trailer of Sonic Mania
And say, jeff stop bothering me or kuthulu will take you!
5:26 😂 this cracked me up 🤣omfg
The skinship system was around since X&Y. I swear you guys have been slacking since you guys started getting sponsorships.
gundamforreal that's the way the Money goes
You didn't name them all. You forgot Necrozma. He's literally the star Pokemon in the Ultra Sun and Moon games you mentioned. How did you forget him?!
Edit: Y'all forgot Magearna and Marshadow, too.
Amberdiamondswords true
He'd reserve it for ultra
Its only about sm. Not ultra yet
Necrozma, Magearna and Marshadow are all available in Sun and Moon. Necrozma you catch in post-game and Magearna and Marshadow were given out in events.
Amberdiamondswords there's a marshadow event?
3:38
*TAZERFACE?!*
**breaks down laughing**
Even the voice guy sounds tired and uninterested.
well, smosh's fans ask for pokémon yet Nintendo make an average of a new game every 6 months, with a whole new generation and mostly same mechanics/story.
I'd be tired too if I had to repeat myself everytime, plus these videos takes a huge efforts and research to made
Yah but with that comes so much more pessimistic tones XD.
I'm glad i wasn't the only one to recognize that. He sounds dead
+Fel "Nintendo make an average of a new game every 6 months" This is so far from true :/
but sun and moon had interesting story, i mean lillie is the best character development out there
I was hoping Alola Sandslash would be "Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Sandslash"
2:26 "To remind you that they're never going to make another Pokémon Snap"
New Pokémon Snap: I'm about to ruin this man's whole career.
MANHUNT MANHUNT MANHUNT MANHUNT MANHUNTMANHUNTMANHUNTMANHUNTMANHUNT I WANNA SEE MANHUNT! YOU GUYS ARE AWSOME!
Ok you guys have beaten the pokemon slave joke to death, now who's doing the same thing over and over again.
It's the same thing as the Mario animal abuse joke there fictional and look nothing like real animals
Do you even lift bro? 😂😂
Necrozma, Magearna, Marshadow...
*WHERE ARE THEY??*
"...that they´re never going to make another Pokemon Snap..."
2020: Nintendo: Nope, let´s do a new Pokemon title thats NOT a main series game. We´ll remake Pokemon Snap
I really appreciate the naming it all part. Good job bro..
HEY you forgot marshadow and the two new ultra beasts
The new ultra beasts aren't even I sun and moon, so why even mention them? What they did also forget though was Magearna and Necrozma
Marshadow- the ghost that fights back
*(I tried)*
2:26 Ha ! Wrong, they are making a new pokemon snap!
“And then immediately capture them too because you are a sociopath”
ADS BEFORE THE VIDEO, ADS DURING THE VIDEO, WHERE DOES THE MADNESS END???
Do honest trailers Dragonball Xenoverse
571danu The Starring part for that would be awesome.
+Kenan Šabić ikr
You're a madman! But you're 100% correct
Yeah do that XD
2:25 Wow, THAT aged well.
I want want for them to do Sword and a Shield
Pokemon sun and Moon is an awesome game but this trailer is so right. I'm currently actually replaying Pokemon Moon. And I am playing it for the plot thank you very much. XD
Ginyu force reference!!
MAnhunt would you! Its fond memories! You guys can have alot of fun with it!
I hope you re-do this one, since it had so much more potential than what was shown for it in this video.
3:40 "ADRIAAAAN"
that rocky reference tho xDDD
Awww, they forgot to name Necrozma, Magearna, and Marshadow...
800. Rock Candy
801. Loli Rosie
And...
802. I'm Being Followed by a Marshadow
I see this was before Ultra Sun and Moon, and you also missed Necorzma. Will Necrozma, the mythicals, and the 4 newer Ultra Beasts ever get new names?
"Your daughter also calls me daddy"
