Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon

[marsoupial they/them]

So, they're pulling a Black2/White2 again. Five years later. Hm.

Thoughts?

I'm wondering what's going to be different since the map isn't that different, just a couple beaches, a couple buildings in a couple towns and a ring of volcanic rock around the volcano on the far left island (I forget the names of the islands). But what's interesting is the unusual cloud bank on the bottom of the map that seems to be obscuring something so maybe something happens that causes a fifth island to appear?

One thing I noticed about the dark cloud is that it's directly above the spot where the dimensional rift is located.

I wasn't talking about the black cloud, since it was incredibly obvious like the portal on the Platinum map. I'm talking about a cloud formation in the open ocean portion that wasn't there on the original map that seems to be obscuring something in a similar way to some previous maps obscure locations using clouds, or in the case of B2W2 using ice, since it would be weird for them to make an updated edition, or sequel if it is one, and only making a couple changes after all the previous regions getting significant changes with battle frontiers and other similar locations.

Ah, I see what you mean. Perhaps it is a new island! We shall see.

I have heard rumblings that we may return to past regions in this instalment, which I am all for.

Does the 3DS cartridge really have the room to do multiple regions? I know they hold quite a bit, but they've already got like a 1000 character models in there plus everything needed to render Alola. Also unless they're bringing back Kalos or Hoenn they have to build the others from the ground up just to get them in here and it takes a while to build the regions, even when remaking them.

I'm kind of tired of all the new regions. I don't personally play the game because of lack of means, but I'm a big Pokemon enthusiast otherwise. The regions are just so many, the Pokemon are just so many and so different, and the story line can only be so different. I was perfectly fine with stopping at Sinnoh.

If they had done that, we would have missed out on the best Pokemon ever: Palpitoad.

Why is Palpitoad your favorite? (Honest question)

I just love its design, I find it cute. I think I'm the only one though.
