Apparently there's 26 Z moves, at least According to Gamexplain, which seems like a decent number until you remember that there's one for every type, meaning there are only actually 8 unique Z moves. And at least 6 of them have already been shown in trailers (maybe even more that I'm not remembering).

They threw away megas for this?

3 starter z moves

1 tapu z move

1 eevee z move

1 Pikachu z move

1 snorlax z move

so only one unique z move has not been revealed although many of the non unique ones have yet to be shown also so you have that to look forward to I guess

Lol Gamexplain get it together, how did you miss 3 Z moves?

Still, 11 non-generic super attacks (the majority of which were shown in trailers) is still pretty underwhelming for something that's supposed to herald the end of megas, of which there's like 50

....which were spread over 2 games. One of the major complaints about Mega Evolutions from what I remember was that people complained that their favourite Pokemon didn't get one, with Z-moves, everyone gets access to them. So really, it's not really underwhelming at all.

Personally, I believe they didn't introduce any new megas this time around just because the focus of these games was supposed to be on Z moves. I think that whatever the next games will be (Stars, Gen 4 remake, or whatever) will introduce more of each.

I just finished the postgame in Sun so here's a list of things that I liked and didn't like about SM. Warning: contains spoilers all the way up to the postgame.

There may be some things I forgot. But I think Alola is my new favorite region and SM are my new favorite Pokemon games.

Let's disagree there actually. I'll give you dark but ghost I thought was just alright. I like Shattered Psyche more.

One thing about these Z moves is that the anime is going to make them look incredible. Gigavolt Havoc and Inferno Overdrive already looked super cool when they were shown. Though I can see a lot of recycled frames being used later on lol.

After beating the main story, gotta say, SM is probably my favorite pokemon game. Ending was lovely, I was getting a bit teary eyed. My god has GF evolved since gen 1.

Loving this game so much.

I just finished the game and I gotta say they did a great job at making Pokemon difficult again.  I'm actually pretty sure this is the hardest game to date, or at least the one I had the most trouble with personally (not counting my first attempt at Ruby version back when I was a dumb kid).  The final boss for example, I barely won with 21/179 hp on my Primarina who was the only one left conscious, and only after like the third try (it didn't help I was intentionally not using healing items but still).  You know how the game pushes the whole "you couldn't have done it without any one of your Pokemon" narrative even though it's usually bullcrap?  This was the first time I ever actually felt that was true.  Yes, even counting Reborn.

 

...This is all assuming you turn the exp share off, of course.  If you keep it on it still breaks the game and makes it horrendously easy, as is evident from what I've seen of Shofu's playthrough (a boss battle that swept me didn't even land a single hit on him.  Wtf.)

 

Not that I don't have anything negative to say about the game, of course.   As a matter of fact, while 6th gen was a crappy set of games that did some great things for the franchise in the long run, these games are the opposite, they're great but it seems they've done more harm than good.  But that's a post for another time.

Next to Black/White/Black 2/White 2 this is probably my favorite game in the series.  I loved the characters.  The story was awesome.  The villains were really cool.  Gladion was probably one of my favorite characters in the franchise next to N.  And I love the increase difficulty.  That feeling of being down to your last Pokemon against a Totem is thrilling.  I just got to the Elite Four, so I am pumped for the Post Game.

 

If there was a hardcore rivalry in the game then this would have been absolutely perfect.

I've spent more time playing Festival Plaza than playing the main story so far.

 

Speaking of which, what are you best plaza shops? I've got 4 star Confuse rays and the Gold lottery thing.

I'm looking for a high star fortune teller shop and big dreams lotto.
