    Finally, Nintendo have made changes to the pokemon formula, and it's sweet. this game outclasses every pokemon game since the 2nd gen. No more gyms, no more hms, and no more useless unoriginal and ugly new pokemon, instead alolan forms were added to make some cool pokemon even better! (except alolan dugtrio...).

Once I started playing this game, I couldn't put it down until I had finished it. It's even possible to catch most of the 1st gen pokemon. The best addition in this game is that you can defend the league as pokemon champions, and that's VERY COOL. Once I started playing this game, I couldn't put it down until I had finished it. My only complaint with this game is that both the legendary pokemon of sun and moon suck! (But Necrozma is freaking cool so it sort of makes up for it).… Expand

The removal of gyms with the replacement of trials was a bold move, but it worked. The new trials are fun and the totem pokemon you faced off at the end posed more of a challenge than I originally thought they would. The story was great, full of twists and turns which I won't spoil. It's not perfect, it suffers from some frame rate issues and overall I'd say my main complaint was a lack of seeing the new Pokemon. The game has come under fire for showing too much before the release and it really impacted here, while there were a lot of Pokemon that were never shown in trailers I still never saw most of them in the wild. The amount of times I was excited to come across a new route to find Pelipers and other older pokemon as well, I would have much prefered it if it was like Black and White where only new pokemon could be find until completing the main game.

    Overall I would say Pokemon Moon was my favourite Pokemon game on the 3DS and is up there next to my all time favourite; Platinum    … Expand

S&M is also a lot easier to navigate, at the same time more challenging. Exploration is key in this new generation, as the map feels more alive and not so 'blocky' as in previous games. The only downsides here are some rather strange Pokémon designs and frequent cutscenes. Highly recommended to any Pokémon trainer!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My opinion, this game steals the show for all other pokemon games in almost every way. from the new type combinations to the inclusion of Darwin's evolution theory to give us Alolan pokemon to the new trial system that made the story line seem less like "YOU MUST BATTLE THE GYMS AND BECOME STRONG" to "You should take on these trials when you wish but we urge you to follow this tradition." It has a very welcoming feel. And on top of that, I feel the game takes advantage of an outrageous story line by creating a region that is unlike any other and pokemon that aren't even pokemon. The plot twists here and there and story line that never let up reminded me in some aspects of one of my favorite rpgs Xenoblade. Especially the family bonds revealed at the end with Lillie Gladion and their mother. I literally played this for a week and a half straight, emerging myself in the side quests and fun little add ons like the poke finder, which i wish there had been more of, and the grooming of pokemon and poke pelago. The main complaint I have that takes this game down a notch is the increased difficulty of EV training. It's very tedious to me and i much preferred the punching bag system. But overall, an astoundingly amazing release by nintendo. I look forward to more unique releases!!!!… Expand

    Pokemon has always been a staple of my childhood much like many of 90s kids growing in the U.S.. I was huge in the game up to Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, but as the new DS handheld came with Pokemon coming on there (along with my love for games on my Xbox 360 and growing up much more by the 2000s) I just sort of gave up on it at first.

I was huge in the game up to Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, but as the new DS handheld came with Pokemon coming on there (along with my love for games on my Xbox 360 and growing up much more by the 2000s) I just sort of gave up on it at first. As X and Y released and I saw the newer Pokemon designs, I was convinced the franchise had hit a creative barrier and really showing fatigue. As I got my 3DS for the remastered versions of Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby (and enjoyed the hell out of it), I convinced myself to try the new Sun and/or Moon to see how it goes. I couldn't have been happier.

    The game wonderfully captures my childhood love for the series and manages to create unique Pokemon despite the amount being far less than the originals. The story is surprisingly decent (and that's saying something for a Pokemon game) and I even got a bit emotional near the end after I beat the Elite Four. For a handheld, the graphics are pretty good in the game and fully utilizes 3D models and sprites that show such a evolution of Pokemon games. The combat and the inclusion of Z-Moves is amazing and allow more combat variety and techniques for players when engaging in battles of any kind. The music is goofy to even kind of cool though it can loop a bit often for my taste.

    I love Team Skull in terms of humor. In fact, alot of the ways the game cracked me up by its dialogue. Its dialogue would easily fly over a child's head, but as an adult I got more than just the Disney-world "everyone's happy" vibe from the people. To put it simply, alot of Freudian concepts bleed through and if this was intentional of Game Freak to contain its adult fans, then they made it work. There is still cringe and wince worthy remarks though, but the moments of humor made me laugh so hard that I just played along with it.

    My only main issues with Pokemon Moon (and Sun) is it can be brutal in terms of difficulty for younger kids when trying to combat the later game's trainers. Even I was struggling to just barely beating them because I had a good team and just knew my types very well. Also the mini-games and some of the features (like grooming and such) is neat and cute, but to me pointless. I guess it's because I'm older and just was raised on playing it the original way huh? Pokemon Sun and Moon are great games that will give both new and old players (young and old) enjoyment and fun that Nintendo is able to draw on very well.    … Expand

    After skipping all the trailers and reveals to have a fresh adventure on Alola, along some low-expectations, as I knew there wouldn't be gyms and the game could be dumbed-down like OmegaRuby was, I was quite surprised when the experience happened to be fulfilling and the difficulty curve didn't disappoint (if you are playing with the Exp. Share off).

    Having so many extras to make the competitive side of the game more enjoyable and less of a chore, this game presented a better experience than the one I had on BW and BW2 even though the story was simpler.
    On the story side of the game, at first Lillie is a bidimensional character that says "I don't want Pokémon to get hurt" at least once per conversation, but in the end she get development as a character, unlike Hau.
    Spending time in-game was fun, it took me about 15 hours to complete each island, stopping the main story for while to catch and train Pokémon, finding hidden items and talking to the NPCs. I beat the Elite 4 on my first try after the 100 hour mark, while some other players finished the game in less than 30 hours.

    Give it a try and I hope you enjoy this game as much as I did.    … Expand

The type balance this gen seems pretty good and the legendaries finally got properly banned like they should be except for a few game modes. The games have a proper story now as well.

    My only gripe is the rampant outbreak of ultrabeasts and pseudo Legendaries who just outclass most pokemon. Those should be treated the same as legendaries when they aren't and kinda hurt the game balance in a PVP setting. Some of which are locked based on the version of the game you have. They also aren't breedable of which I wish they'd change.    … Expand

It has the problem of starting a bit slow and with many cutscenes, which is maybe why it is getting low scores, the beginning of the game can be a bit tedious for veteran Pokémon fans. But this Alola region is amazing, beautiful, so full of joy and things to do, and from the third island things begin to improve drastically! It also becomes a lot harder from that point. I played without Exp. Share, without Z moves, and with Set Battle Style, and opponents began to overlevel my team even though I battled everyone. This made quite of the final battles of the game hard. So, it can be challenging if you want it to. Post-game is also quite decent, with many things to do, a few new routes, and the UB sidequest.

    Something I didn't like that much is the SOS battle system. With Pokémon constantly asking for help, it can be pretty annoying to catch Pokémon, and also some exclusive Pokémon from this system are a pain to catch (I spent an hour looking for a Slowbro, and when it appeared I had lost so much focus I killed it with a crit; at least that was great because later in the chain I got a Shiny Slowpoke!). Another thing I have to point out is the frame drops against Totem Pokémon and when there are many Pokémon in the screen in older versiones of the Nintendo 3DS. While those situations aren't very common, they are a bit annoying. But apart from that I love the path these two games have taken. It has renewed the Pokémon franchise a lot, with things like Island Trials replacing gyms, which I believe are quite original and some of the Totem Pokémon quite challenging to beat. It also removed HMs, which allows you to train freely a team of 6 Pokémon! Speaking of Pokémon, I really like most of the Alola versions of Gen 1 Pokémon, most like Grimer were made a lot better, a lot more useful in-game than they ever were. And new Pokémon design is also very good, for me better than 6th Gen and 5th Gen Pokémon by a lot. The variety of Pokémon you find in Alola is huge, but they made it pretty well adding at least one or two of the new Pokémon to each of the new places to make the whole game feel fresh.

    All in all, while not a perfect game, the game is still a very very good Pokémon game, it is being underrated due to its slow start, which maybe wants to help people new to the franchise understand Pokémon, but give it time, as it gets better the deeper you go in the game, and you can find challenge if you want to!    … Expand

Post game, you have a couple legendaries, Ultra Beasts, and Battle Tree, where you can meet characters from older games. My only issue with this game is that it runs like crap when there's more than 2 Pokemons out on the older 3DS. The frame rate drops to what would be considered unplayable if the game wasn't turn based. Other than that, this game is probably my second favorite Pokemon game right after Emerald. The big thing that Emerald did better than this game in my opinion, is how much post game content was in Emerald. This game definitely has a good amount, but it's nowhere close to Emerald's Battle Frontier.… Expand

However, it was not until I played Sun and Moon, where, overall, the games have changed the formula of the series in such a dramatic way, that it was not the way I was hoping for Generation 7 to turn out to be. With that being said, I have listed the pros, where the games did well on, and the cons, where the games did poorly on.

    Pros

    + The new forms for some of the Pokémon are fun to use

    + The Festival Plaza is pretty entertaining and a good way to get items

    + You're now able to heal status ailments by taking care of your Pokémon after battle

    + HMs are replaced with the more efficient Pokémon Pager system

    + Trials and Kahunas provide an interesting twist to the standard gym battle formula

    + The graphical upgrades make trainers and Pokémon look better and more interesting

    + Ability effectiveness now appears on the move select screen

    + A map on the bottom screen shows where you're at and where your next objective lies can be pretty helpful

    + Battle mechanics offer a new and fun touch

    + Does experimental things with formula

    + Riding Pokémon lifts the move limitations throughout your adventure

    Cons

    - Daycare only breeds eggs and no longer levels Pokémon

    - Very few Pokémon in game and no Pokémon Bank until January

    - Serious frame rate drops during totem battles and double battles

    - A lot of unnecessary cut scenes slow down the game. (I love cuts scenes normally but some of them feel pointless. There are quite a few cut scents that comprise of people only waving at you.)

    - No room to explore freely until almost the third island, everything is extremely linear

    - Alola Pokémon seem to have a low encounter rate

    - Not a lot of variation in Pokémon. Many places just have the same Pokémon with one new Pokémon added into the mix

    - Your dialogue choices almost have no impact what so ever

    - Your character's expression almost never changes which is a bit jarring when other characters are
    visible upset.

    - Double Battles chug rather harshly

    - More linear and easy going
    - Story less intriguing than expected and, at times, can be nonsensical and uninteresting - Z-move animations are way too long can and be boring to watch after several times From an overall standpoint, Pokémon Sun and Moon had many great points about it. However, the big changes to it feel as if Game Freak is trying to reboot the Pokémon series, even though it is already great. Instead of these big changes, why not just keep the gyms and add more Post-Game content to the new games? Taking pictures of Pokémon, challenges and trials from different characters, and fun minigames all feel like optional activities that you could do by yourself, but you are forced to do them in Pokémon Sun and Moon. Because of this, I did not enjoy the game, and I felt like they changed too much to the new generation. The game has its great and beautiful moments, but it also has it tedious and monotonous moments as well. * Now remember this clearly. This is just my opinion. Please do not feel offended by it. Thanks for reading my review and I hope you have a wonderful day!*    … Expand

    This is the better version in my opinion. The legendary is better and it feels like a new game at night. The story is good like always. Of course the Pokemon and story are the best part.

    Pokemon Moon was definitely one of the best pokemon games I have played. I have played almost all the previous pokemon games released on the DS and the 3DS, but this was a cut above the rest. The Z-moves were a much wanted addition to the pokemon franchise and look amazing, but I am sort of bummed out that the game does not run nearly as well on the regular 3DS.

The new pokemon in this game also relate to the setting of the game, but are still unique, and there are a lot less lazy designs than in other pokemon games. However, the story is just a run of the mill pokemon story (which is a good or bad thing depending on who you ask), and the replacement of gyms in place of the challenges was a change that I didn't like that much, honestly. Overall Pokémon Moon is a much welcome game to the franchise with its new improvements.… Expand

    Pokémon Sun and Moon make terrific changes the twenty-year-old formula, allowing new fans and returning ones back into the series with a wonderful lively and colourful world. It's just a little too easy for us who have been here from the start - but it's easy to forgot that when you're having such a blast.

    If you’re a newcomer to the series, this is an excellent opportunity to learn the fundamentals in a laid-back setting. If you’re a pro, you’ll relish the new options in place for making your Pokémon all they can be. Sun & Moon is a Pokémon vacation we’d gladly take again.

    These games exceeded my expectations by a mile. Pokemon Sun and Moon are games that every Pokemon fan and every 3DS owner needs to own. Nintendo and Gamefreak did an awesome job creating a great story and the changes they made for the format make the game feel fresh and exciting more so than ever before. The game has its minor issues like the end game and some performance issues on Old 3DS models but the soundtrack, the story and the new features more than make up for it, to make an unforgettable experience.
