I have played most Pokemon games, but I am deciding between Pokemon Sun/Moon/Ultra and Brilliant Diamond.

I have never played either of these games not even their original versions. What do you think?

Additionally, is Sun/Moon good or is the Ultra version better?

    About SuMo and USUM, I played both as they came out and thought it was really fun seeing the differences in story, from the middle on it becomes like two entirely different games, if you are a fan I would recommend both. If I had to choose, I would say USUM is the more complete game, has more content and side content, more story and even an interesting post game story that is definitely worth playing for any fan of the older games, and I am legit surprised seeing people talk about SuMo being preferred because my experience with everyone I talked about this has always been people preferring USUM.

    About BDSP, biggest complaint is how they remade the old games but did not do almost anything new to it, didn’t even add the extra story from platinum which makes platinum be a more complete experience than even these remakes. They’re fine but underwhelming.

    So if you only want one, I’d say USUM. If you are considering all and deciding on the order, I’d say SuMo, then BDSP to take a little break, and then back to USUM.

      I started playing ultra sun last night and played more this morning.

      It has just enough challenge at the start and I hope it carries over through the rest of the game.

      With some of the games you can mindlessly bash the same attack, but so far I’ve had to thinking a bit about how to win a few fights.

      Really enjoying it.

      I also didn’t expect this graphics to be that good, I was expecting something like the de games.

      The only thing that stood out was that I only liked one of the starters and thought the other two were terrible. Can you guess my starter?

        Most people seem to like owl boy more than the others, so much so he came back in legends arceus, so my guess would be that.

          Really? I didn’t care for the owl. I really liked the cat. Litten might be my new favorite Pokémon. But I’m not 100% sure on that.

          Easily my most liked starter since charmander.
