    I'm not going to lie, I'm not the biggest Pokemon fan.

    A lot of Pokemon games have a great concept but fall very flat in execution, the best Pokemon games are ok while the worst ones (aka 90% of the Switch releases) are abysmal. 'Pokemon Sun & Moon' was the biggest exception.

    A lot of Pokemon games have a great concept but fall very flat in execution, the best Pokemon games are ok while the worst ones (aka 90% of the Switch releases) are abysmal. 'Pokemon Sun & Moon' was the biggest exception.

    The gameplay, whole functional, is not too different from the other games. although I have things that are worth praise:

    1. Z moves working for everyone: the idea of Megas only working for specific pokemon (and none of the generation it was supposed to represent) was nonsense and limited a potentially great gimmick. Z moves are more limited than Megas in concept, but they are executed much better.

    2. Totem battles: finally no more triple battle luck fest, totem battles are much more skilled are require more strategy rather than just spamming your best moves.

    The plot is the best in the series by a wide, and I mean WIDE margin. Besides having the best world building in the series, the main characters are fleshed out, develop on screen (can't say the same for the previous gens) and are more grounded overall. Lusamine is the best villain in the franchise and the most well written character: a crazy woman who went insane after losing her husband and started loving Ultra Creatures more than her own children to the point she wanted to reach their universe and merge with them.

    The Pokemon is the best generation yet. all 3 starters have great design and ooze with personality (especially Incineroar) and some of the best Pokemon like Mimikyu and Tsareena. There's barely any bad Pokemon at all.

    The cutscenes, often criticized for being "awful" even though they're nothing atrocious that other games didn't do, help the game to feel more immersive and visually interesting than chibi sprites that barely move.

    This game was a great experience.    … Expand

    This game has an amazing story, great character development, and one of the best worlds a Pokémon game has had in a while. Although the game may not seem as much at first, It gets Better and Better as you progress. The new battle animations and styles are so wonderful that sometimes I walk into battles just to see the animations. If you have a 3DS, you must try it out!

    ALS Pokémon-Fan sage ich, dass dies das beste Spiel ist, es hat eine großartige neue Umgebung, großartige neue Funktionen, die die Pokémon-Formel wirklich aufrütteln, und hat die ehrgeizigste und am besten erzählte Erzählung, die jemals aus einem Pokémon-Spiel hervorgegangen ist. Das einzige wirkliche Problem für mich ist, dass das Spiel schmerzhaft einfach ist.

Me encantó su dificultad que es bastante equilibrada, te da las oportunidades de "casualizarlo" como los juegos más modernos, pero también la posibilidad de desactivar esas facilidades para volverlo más clásico siempre que quieras. Y los Pokémon dominantes son los mejores "Bosses" de tipo RPG que ha tenido Pokémon jamás. Con combates por turnos RPG que te hacen pensar buenas estrategias frente a Pokémon fuertes en un combate 1vs2.

    Además la trama de estos juegos me parece la más compleja e interesante de la saga junto a Blanco y Negro. Con personajes memorables y carismáticos (Guzmán es una maravilla, sin duda uno de los mejores personajes de la saga) y tramas, subtramas e incluso giros de guión. También me encanta la ambientación de la región, ya que Alola es de las regiones que más "sientes", todo funciona distinto y se siente todo muy tradicional, además de que el propio lore de la región es de los más profundos de la franquicia.

    También me gusta que las rutas están diseñadas para ser lo suficientemente complejas por si quieres detenerte a explorar pero a la vez puedes atravesarlas rápido si estás jugando de forma menos detenida. Es un diseño muy inteligente que sabe dar juego a el jugador casual que quiere superarlo rápido y al jugador veterano que busca detenerse y explorar cada rincón.

    Otra cosa que me encanta y que ahora hecho de menos de Alola, son las misiones secundarias, los entrenadores maestros de cada ruta y el Poké Resort. Son mecánicas muy buenas que ojalá vuelvan a la línea de juegos principales. Al menos las misiones secundarias parece que han vuelto en Leyendas Arceus, juego que por cierto, bebe muchísimo de lo que construyó Alola en su día. Con paralelismos como las poké monturas, los capitanes, los dominantes...

    Sol y Luna son una delicia, y sin duda una de las mejores aventuras que Pokémon ha dado nunca.    … Expand

    La historia es muy de anime y el estilo gráfico no es nada del otro mundo pero aporta bastante conceptos nuevos que refresca mucho a la franquicia y hace a esta entraga mucho más memorable. La curva de dificultad es un desastre como ya nos viene acostumbrando Gamefreak desde XY pero como dije a estas entregas los mantiene aflote la buena cantidad nuevos conceptos.

Hope Sword and Shield do something similar and tries new things too.

    Pokémon Sun and Moon also has the BEST STORY in a Pokémon game ever. Black and White had good ideas, sometimes poorly executed, but Sun and Moon worked so well, developed the characters and even made some plot twists. The relationship between characters, background stories and family bonds is the best we saw in a Pokémon game so far, the mixing of every single topic the franchise has touched was excellent!

    And we can't forget about the difficulty, USUM made it harder, but Sun & Moon has some challenges with Totem Pokémon and a great Pokémon League, and well, we have even the Battle Tree, as the biggest postgame challenge we had since Emerald. Pokémon designs were excellent in this generation too!

Some of the Alolan Forms were cute and made sense, and I ended up falling in love with Z-Moves. The story was also really enjoyable and had a lot of interesting characters you always wanted to know more about, especially Lillie. It was far from perfect, what with the awful call for help mechanic, some awkward evolutions, and the game taking a very lazy approach towards trials by the 4th island (which was a shame since they were the coolest part of the game in my opinion).

    Catching Pokémon is as fun as it's ever been, and catching them all is a fun challenge. As there are now over 700 Pokémon, there are countless cool and interesting designs. As for the postgame, you can catch and raise more Pokémon, trade and battle online, and there are also a few cool moments after the main story is over. However, after you're done with the story, which I enjoyed thanks to the characters as well as the decent plot, there isn't loads to keep you playing, especially if you tire of the grind of finding, catching and raising new Pokémon. In particular, finding, breeding and raising battle-ready Pokémon (including hidden abilities, natures, IVs and more) for the online side of the game can be a little overwhelming but it is completely optional and is there for people who want a deeper experience.

    On the whole, Pokémon Sun is another great entry into the series with enough new and exciting additions to set it apart from the rest of the games.    … Expand

Voy a decir que me ha parecido, de la manera mas especial posible...

    Hacía ya 10 años que no jugaba un pokémon, el último que jugué fue pokemon perla allá por el 2007-2008 y ahora este Pokemon sol que salió hace uno o dos añitos lo he jugado en 2018. Tenía mucha curiosidad por ver como había avanzado la saga ya que la había perdido muchísimo de vista. Antes de jugar pokemon sol sabía que en anteriores entregas ya estaban cambiando la perspectiva de la cámara, los gráficos, obviamente los mapas, pokemons y los legendarios. A si que pensé: Joder, voy a jugarme el ultimo pokemon de todos para ver la evolución que lleva esto a día de hoy.

    El inicio es como cualquier otro juego de pokémon, te sientes super bien recibido a esta nueva entrega ya que todo se maneja con la misma facilidad que siempre, te explican todo a la perfección para que tengas la edad que tengas no te pierdas nada de lo que debes aprender para jugar.

    Hay muchas cosas que se coservan en este pokémon y que son míticas de la saga, como elegir el pokémon entre los tres elementos principales, el compañero/rival que te acompañará durante todo el juego, los gimnasios (Aunque ahora no son gimnasios, son una especie de pruebas) y en vez de medallas son unos cristales, pero para el caso viene a ser lo mismo. Las mecánicas también son muy parecidas, incluso me atrevo a decir que las han mejorado.

    Sin duda de las cosas que mas me han gustado de Pokemon sol ha sido precisamente eso, esa cualidad de hacerte sentir como en casa, esa manera de decirte "Estas en el pokemon de tu infancia, pero con las novedades y mejoras de un pokemon actual" Es decir lo que viene a ser el "Mas y mejor" de toda la vida.

    Pero todo esto también tiene su lado malo. Como ya he dicho arriba... Pokemon te explica todo a la perfección, para que cualquier persona de cualquier edad pueda entender todo y jugarlo igual de cómodo y de bien que tú. ¿Que pasa? Que si tienes 20 años como es mi caso esto se hace un poco pesado, es decir... Para un chaval de entre 8-13 años puede ser muy bueno esto que estoy comentando, pero para la gente de 15-16 en adelante es un estorbo. Esto de que te expliquen todo al dedillo como si fueras tonto se hace muy cansino ¿Es necesario?

    La historia del juego es la misma, la típica de siempre, no esta mal... No es que sea una historia muy profunda ni que toque temas fuertes ni que te pretenda enseñar nada pero bueno, esta bien, sobretodo para los niños (Again).

    La jugabilidad sigue siendo la misma aunque han añadido algunas cosas bastante molonas como los ataques especiales que son como un "Ataque final" al uso. También han mejorado las animaciones de algunos ataques, son realmente espectaculares para ser de pokémon. Pero de nuevo esperaba algún que otro cambio, si que es cierto que aquí no creo que el problema sea la edad del público de pokemon, aquí creo que simplemente les ha dado pereza cambiar el sistema de combate de toda la vida y han tirado con el, de nuevo

    Entonces es una mezcla de sentimientos que me mata por dentro queridos amigos... Por un lado me ha gustado mucho ya que tenía completamente olvidada a la saga, pero por otro lado es que hay tantas cosas que me flaquean que me duele incluso decirlas, pero es que las tenía que soltar.

    Pero por supuesto a pesar de estos pequeños detalles de quisquilloso mental, el juego es super disfrutable, y la verdad es que la idea de Alola es bastante buena, diría que una de las mejores de todos los juegos que llevan hasta la fecha, ese estilo "Tropical" estilo Hawai, la ropa que visten los aldeanos, los pokemons con formas especiales de Alola, el tema de las distintas islas, no sé. La verdad es que la idea en si esta bastante guay y para un juego de pokemon admito que es un enfoque bastante chulo, aunque como ya he dicho sigo opinando que esta mal aprovechada y podían haberle dado mucha mas caña.

    También me ha fastidiado bastante el hecho de ir jugando al juego y ir viendo los mismos pokemons que ya conocía... Y es como: WTF, llevo 10 años sin jugar a un pokemon y conozco al 70% de los pokemons que me están apareciendo, eso es mala señal, indica que han metido muy pero que muy poquitos en esta nueva entrega, a si que lo comprobé y efectivamente es de las entregas que menos pokemon nuevos han implementado, practicamente el 60-70% de los que hay en el juego son de otras entregas y eso es una mierda.

    Estoy seguro, pero muy que muy seguro, de que los chavales que jueguen a Pokemon sol hoy en día sentirán lo mismo que yo sentía cuando jugaba los pokemon de años anteriores, esa "Magía" y por eso le doy esta nota buena, porque objetivamente pokemon siempre será pokemon.    … Expand

    Best Pokémon game ever. Best graphics, innovation and a challenging story mode. The trials were a nice way to do something new but the gyms were better. The new Pokmeon designs are beautiful.

    Incredible, good story, the kind I expected from other jrpgs but for pokemon was a first as previous games never got there. Gameplay dynamic and full of places to discover, quests to figure out and pokemon to find, anything that other pokemon games did, was done again as well or better here.
    Fully recomend playing it to the very end, it has some unforgettable bits

    I would call this game, one of the most anticipated games of the year. At least for me, this was one game that I was very excited about. I was a huge fan of Pokemon X/Y and although ORAS (Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire) weren’t as enjoyable as X/Y, ORAS are still great games.

At least for me, this was one game that I was very excited about. I was a huge fan of Pokemon X/Y and although ORAS (Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire) weren’t as enjoyable as X/Y, ORAS are still great games.

    In what Nintendo would probably describe as a P.R. disaster, a few weeks before the game came out, all the new Pokemon were revealed. But what started out as potential disaster ended up helping out Nintendo because this was the best selling Pokemon game ever made. Clearly people saw the Pokemon and had to get this game to have the New Pokemon on their team.

    It wasn’t just new Pokemon though, Game Freak (The developers of Pokemon) took old generation 1 Pokemon and put a fun spin on them all. Take Ninetales from the picture to the left here. Up until this point, Ninetales was a Fire type but in Pokemon franchise, he/she gets a new typing and a new look. Lets be realistic here, I think it looks a lot better. So if the new Pokemon didn’t bring enough hype to the game, the new Alolan Versions of old Pokemon certainly did.

    The game starts out a little bit different than most other Pokemon games. For example in the first Pokemon games, you get to pick your starter within the first 5 minutes of the game. This its take quite a bit longer and although I don’t know the exact time, it felt like it was a good half hour before you can even pick your first Pokemon.

    Picking the starter wasn’t too much of a hard decision for me. I had given it a lot of thought before hand. I came to the decision that I was going to pick Rowlet, a couple weeks before the game even came out. Some of you may be wondering why and the simple reason is because I really like the Owl design of Decidueye. I also took it a step further and looked into the three starters stats and move list. The fact that Decidueye could learn Brave Bird, Spirit Tackle, Leaf Blade, Sucker Punch and if I wanted to he could also learn False Swipe. This is the first time where I actually preferred the grass type over the other two. This is just my own personal opinion but I think Decidueye is the best grass starter in the history of the Pokemon franchise.

    The rest of my team, ended up filling out as the game progressed through the story. A lot like my starter, I looked at the leaked Pokemon list and really made tentative plans of what my team was going to look like. That did play out the way I wanted it to and ended up only keeping half of my original team. Normally in Pokemon games, I build a team early on and play the game with that team. This was the first time in a Pokemon game that I just kept tinkering with my team, trying to find a good chemistry with all my Pokemon. Finally, I did settle on the team that is just below this post.

    Datrix/Salazzle/Mudsdale/Toucannon/Alolan Ninetales/Alolan Golem

    Getting back on track and talking about the game itself, I felt like the game took a long time to actually get going. There was a very long tutorial that ended up taking at least an hour and half (if not closer to 2 hours).

    I don’t want to spoil the story for anyone who hasn’t had a chance to pick to up the game yet. I’m not going into specific details about the story but I do want to talk about my opinion of the story. Personally, I did not like the story. With that being said, I know I am in the vast minority and most people think that this is the best Pokemon story created. Before I go into why I didn’t like the story, I do want to give out a shout out to Game Freak for focusing more on the Narrative rather than just the gameplay.

    The Game’s length is probably somewhere between 20 and 30 hours. I know it sounds like a wide margin but it all depends on if you take the time, explore and try to catch all the Pokemon as you can. Personally, it took me about 25 hours to play through the game and it just felt like a long time for me. A big reason for that are the very long and unskippable cutscenes. I feel like there are at least 5 hours of unskippable and not very interesting cutscenes. This really slowed the game down for me and made the game feel like it was poorly paced.    … Expand

    The 3DS brought many great gems to the pokemon series so when I say Pokemon Sun, alongside the Moon version are the second best game pair in this whole game series, only second to it's bettered Ultra versions, its with heavy-hitter competition.

I'm a fan since Pokemon Red and Blue came out in the U.S. in the late 90s but even after so long and having played all games I keep the assertion above: I was shocked with how much of a breath of fresh air this pair brought to the franchise. From replacing the gyms with a new boss system to new concepts like the rides, playing them feels like a mix of discovering so much new mixed with the prime pokemon trainer experience, not only many changes happened: They WORKED and they MATTERED which is something rare to say for games that change so much on old formulas.

    The side content is some of the best the series ever had, the hunt for Zygarde cells, Pokepelago, Refresh, etc, you feel like the pokemon is your pal instead of just a sprite in the team screen

    It has the best characters and best and most interesting story in the series, I'm yet to find a single pokemon fan who haven't gushed about how interesting and engaging the plot surrounding your journey was this time. Also decent pacing throughout your journey as to let you explore each section as the trials come by. The story actually managing to pull iconic and emotional moments like I've never seen in the series. And don't let the bright tropical looks and colorful people full of personality trick you: the story can get dark at points, with uncharted themes to pokemon

    The designs of new pokemon were ALL unique. You can feel a higher focus in creativity in each new pokemon, with ideas that feel iconic yet unexpected, including the regional forms, which bring new life to old pokemon like Raichu by putting them into new concepts based on how they'd adapt into a tropical setting.

    Team Skull is the best "evil team" pokemon has had and will be remembered fondly 20 years from now as one of the highest points in the series (but I can say that about a lot of things Alola region brought us)

    Z-Crystals are a neat way to make a weaker mon stay relevant, while working to all pokemon and having special effects if you combine it with effect/status moves. Speaking of the Meta, it's really well balanced in recent years, making going online a joy.

    All accounted, don't let online trolls who diss nintendo games everywhere convince you otherwise: It is a Must to play this game or the Ultras if you enjoy pokemon, as any longtime fan (of which many I have befriended by playing it with) this game with in recent months will most certainly tell you, this pair and its follow up are love letters to any pokemon fan, from the pleasure that it is to make runs in it, to how easy it is to breed, trains and battle online, to the beautiful and interesting places to explore, to even multiple references and old characters from every gen coming back.    … Expand

As a long-time pokemon fan who played all games, this is one of the best ones in the franchise, no contest. Great region, story, and trials were way better than gyms in every way. If this is the way the series goes forward, we're in for a golden age of pokemon.

    Llevo jugando a Pokémon desde Rojo y Azul. No me lo esperaba para nada, buena jugabilidad, la mejor curva de dificultad de cualquier juego de la saga, la mejor historia, los mejores personajes, la mejor ambientación. Es simplemente, el mejor juego de Pokémon.

No me lo esperaba para nada, buena jugabilidad, la mejor curva de dificultad de cualquier juego de la saga, la mejor historia, los mejores personajes, la mejor ambientación. Es simplemente, el mejor juego de Pokémon.

    Mi historia favorita era la de "Pokémon Blanco y Negro", pero esta la ha superado con creces, profundizando bastante en personajes mucho más tridimensionales y con giros argumentales ¡GIROS! ¿Quién habría esperado giros argumentales en un juego de Pokémon? Sí, pueden ser más o menos predecibles, pero alguno te lo acabas comiendo, y yo, que he jugado sin saber absolutamente nada de los juegos me he quedado flipando. El final es maravilloso incluso fuera de Pokémon y el mensaje de los créditos casi me emociona y todo, es un mensaje de la desarrolladora al jugador y eso es magnífico. Además es un plus que la historia esté relacionada con la alquimia.

    La dificultad me ha sorprendido mucho, si bien no pensaba activar el repartir experiencia, he tenido que acabar usándolo. Wishiwashi, Mimikyu, Lurantis y la última Kahuna, me han destrozado al equipo entero en más de una ocasión. Jamás me habían derrotado en un juego de Pokémon durante la trama principal desde que era pequeño y no sabía muy bien como iban los juegos. La estrategia que usan los NPC está MUY mejorada y eso hace que este sea de los juegos de Pokémon más inteligentes de la saga, si no el que más. Sigue sin ser un reto, pero es más difícil que la mayoría del resto de ediciones. La liga Pokémon me costó, y llevaba sin costarme una liga desde "Diamante y Perla".

    Los personajes son fantásticos y EVOLUCIONAN. El único personaje que evolucionó un poco hasta la fecha en la saga fue "N" o "Azul", ambos con una pequeña frase al final del juego, aquí evoluciona Lylia, Gladio, Guzmán, Tilo... Es sorprendente la mejora en cuanto a trama que ha pegado Game Freak con estas ediciones. Y lo mejor es que hasta personajes secundarios como Denio, Hela, Zarala... ¡Tienen una profundidad!

    La región, es cierto que no es de las más grandes, pero tampoco es pequeña, es mediana. Y es preciosa, si para mi Kalos fue la más bonita, esta la ha superado con creces. Súper bien ambientada. Da gusto explorar cada rincón. Y los gráficos son preciosos.

    Lo que innovan estos juegos me ha hecho decir: ¡POR FIN! Game Freak jamás ha innovado por miedo y nos vendió "Blanco y Negro" y "X e Y" como "innovadores" pero ninguno innovó nada, en todo caso "X e Y" con la megaevolución, que rompía el juego y lo hacía exageradamente fácil. En "Sol y Luna" la megaevolución queda para el postgame (acertadísima decisión), nos han introducido los Movimientos Z, que son bastante últiles e interesantes y no destrozan el juego, quitan los gimnasios para introducir las pruebas que son una especie de sistema de "jefes" que acerca Pokémon a un RPG más convencional y hace que funcione mucho más como RPG. Quitar las MO's, al fin. El recorrido, los kahuna, el Poké Resort para no sentirte tan mal al dejar Pokémon en el PC. Brutal.

    Las únicas pegas que le veo son: La complicación de conectarse con un amigo por la "Festiplaza" y la caída de FPS en combates dobles, pero bueno, esto último tiene más que ver con la potencia de la consola.

    El resto es fantástico. 10/10, mi juego favorito de Pokémon hasta la fecha sin duda, me he quedado alucinado. El mejor de la saga con diferencia, quien diga lo contrario, le puede la nostalgia o no acepta el cambio. Pero esto, es un cambio a mejor.    … Expand

    It's maybe hard to some people to decide which story is better between "Black and White" and "Sun and Moon", but, i really loved BW story, it has an interesting theme but it gets so simple, going really nowhere, remaining as an idea without decent exploitation. BW had great potential, which was wasted. But SM it's completely different. Yeah, the story still not being so good outside Pokémon, but inside it... It's just the best. Great characters surprisingly great worked, deep story that goes beyond any other game from the franchise has ever gone, sometimes it gets really dark for a game intended for children, and a amazing and nostalgic ending. The story can be a little slower at the beginning, and its also full of plot twists that sometimes can be predicted, but it really doesn't mind, story works and it gets more and more interesting. The best part are the characters, and i'm not just talking about Lillie, Gladion, Lusamine, Hau, Guzma or Kukui that general people will love, i'm also talking about the secondary characters with great background stories that just surprised me a lot.

    I think this games also improved Pokémon difficulty, i mean, Pokémon has always been easy and "Sun and Moon" aren't different. But this time, they improved the difficulty curve a lot, and they have included bosses that can make you pass through hard times. It's a perfect game to new players but also for old players like me (i've been following the franchise since Red and Blue).

    It also improves metagame and adds great innovations, this game has changed the franchise more than any other, with difference. Trials are really good, fresh and the bosses are just a great addition, but... Sometimes it gets too easy to get to the boss, that's the only bad thing that I find in trials, and it's not annoying either, because the journey through the trial is usually fun.

    Music, as always, it's just perfect. This games has many great and catchy themes. And desings, for me are the best, the addition of Ultra Beast seems really interesting such as Z moves. Regional variants is such a awesome idea.

    The region its the MOST beautiful until now. And its great to explore it. I just loved this games, and after XY that i thought everything was lost, this have recovered hope. I would love to see a great story such as SM's in the new Nintendo Switch games. And I would love they to follow this line, just improving a bit the player's freedom to walk through the region.

    Postgame its great for a first version, much more than XY, and Red and Blue comeback its amazing.

    Most innovations of all the main series games by far. The ever stales gyms got replaces by an interesting trial system with totem bosses that really excite you for what's coming next. Great new pokemon each with their own lore, top-notch story and that's only 1% on all the GREAT stuff SM added

    Alola is really fresh and innovative compare to the beginning of previous generations, this is the game where they FINALLY, after so long, started to push the envelope and find ways to innovate and change old formulas while still keeping the core of the series true to itself. Like the Totems replacing the old gym leader system.

Or is there…?

    In Pokémon Sun and Moon the islands have not yet created a gym system (or even an Elite Four at the beginning of the game!) and instead have a system of trials that involve: a challenge set by the Trial Captain, a fight with the Totem Pokémon and a battle with each Island Kahuna. Although this may seem off-putting for seasoned fans, the way it is presented comes off as a breath of fresh air. The actual challenges are not hard at all so don’t expect to tested by these new trials but the Totem Pokémon fights can be quite difficult if you are under prepared and the Kahunas aren’t anything to laugh at either.

    Many people have complained that these new generations of Pokémon have been getting easier and easier and time goes on. Though this may be true, that doesn’t mean they aren’t fun anymore or entertaining to play through. If you want a really challenging game there are ways of making that happen but on the whole, you have come to the wrong place. Pokémon games are about having fun, exploring new regions, seeing new Pokémon and not having a really difficult time. Saying that, I will admit that these new games are easier than previous games mostly due to the fact that the effectiveness of each move is displayed beneath it. This can become pretty annoying as you don’t have the option to turn it off.

    Pokémon Sun and Moon are set in the region of Alola – a fantasy world based off Hawaii. In comparison to other regions where you traverse one section of land, the Alola region is made up of five main islands and has your character explore between them. This concept is nothing new as we have had mostly island regions before. Although many people were cautious towards this approach, I found that, although at some points confusing, overall it was an enjoyable change.
    The Pokémon included in this generation invoke a variety of emotion. Some people are indifferent to designs and what the Pokémon are based off but for some it means that Nintendo are “running out of ideas.” I don’t think that this is the case. Most of the Pokémon are aesthetically pleasing and there are only a few that I wouldn’t pick up purely because of design. Something that has been introduced as a unique feature of Alola are Alolan Pokémon. These are Pokémon from other regions that have changed their colour and type supposedly because of the climate in Alola. Although the premise seem a bit odd, it was really nice seeing some old faces getting new looks and getting new ways to play. The only criticism I have is that some of the designs are questionable and Pokémon that usually come in parallel pairs (For example, Arcanine and Ninetales) only one of them got an alternate form.
    Your character customisation follows a similar system as was implemented in Pokémon X and Y. When creating your player, you have four sets of skin colour and hair colour to choose from for each sex and throughout the region there are apparel shops that allow the player to buy new items of clothing or accessories. This is nothing new but it is something that fans have asked to bring back after its exclusion out of Omega ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

    The story is a typical Pokémon plot. It isn’t anything ground-breaking but it does include some new parts. One of these is a legendary Pokémon that is part of an evolutionary line - a first for the franchise. Other than that, the story is ordinary but does rid of the mountains of rivals you had during Pokémon X and Y and does involve some immersive cut-scenes.

    Helpfully, a feature that come with these games is the removal of Technical Machines (or TMs.) For anyone new to the franchise, in other games these were moves that could be used to access different areas, in other words, moves that could be used out of battle. The catch however, was that you couldn’t naturally replace these moves and instead had to but tutored off. As easy as this sounds it was incredibly annoying. Ride Pokémon replace this annoyance with something entertaining. Instead of having moves that allow you access now you now use Pokémon. As the name suggests, these Pokémon are called by you and you ride them to clear certain obstacles - something the community has been asking for since day one.

    Overall I think that the new instalment in this collection is a good addition to the series. However, it is obvious that Nintendo and Game Freak’s focus is on the younger audience and not necessarily the seasoned players.

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

To be honest, the characters as a whole were very interesting, and drove the story forward in a lot of cool ways. I might go as far as to say that Sun and Moon have the best storyline out of any main series pokemon game, right alongside Black and White. The only downsides would probably be the game's slow start, and the lack of new pokemon out in the wild.

HMs are gone and replaced by a better system that won't stuck your team with unwanted choices.

Gen 8 consists of a solid line up of Pokemon with strong personalities reflected in their dex entries. Each dex entry is written in a way that makes the Pokemon feel like a living breathing creature. I enjoyed the story of Pokemon Sun a lot. The story is far deeper than almost every other Pokemon game. I really love the new characters introduced in this gen. As opposed to the last few games where the character briefly appears and never again, the characters in these games are fleshed out and lovable, having their own cutscenes. On the topic of cutscenes, many seem to dislike them, but I didn't really mind them.

    I really enjoyed PokePelago for some reason, being there always gave me sense of serenity and calm. I enjoyed picking up my PokeBeans and farming berries. I just finished the main story and haven't really touched on the post-game content, all I can say is that the in-PC IV checker is a huge blessing that GameFreak should have done since IVs became a thing. Seriously. In terms of accessibility and convenience, Pokemon Sun has great UI and there is not much hassle trying to get anything done.

    However, the game suffers from performances issues. The biggest issue being massive lag happening during double battles. Besides that, I don't really mind linearity in video games as long as it is done well, this game plays a cutscene every time you walk into an area you are not supposed to go. It is really annoying to walk 2 steps into an area, have the screen fade into a cutscene, and then fade out to where you are standing. And it happens so many times it quickly became annoying to me. I don't mind not entering an area, but I wished they would just let the npc say something in a quick text box and let me leave. Also, while this is not entirely the games fault, I wish they didn't reveal such a big bulk of Pokemon before the game's release. I know, I could just skip out on watching the reveal trailers, but I was riding on the hype train so of course I'm not going to miss out on any new information! Frankly, the biggest joy that came in this game was discovering the new, unrevealed Pokemon, and the surprises in the story.

    I love Pokemon games, and all I can say is that Gen 8 is one of the best ones. For anyone doubting whether or not to try out the series, play it!    … Expand
