Pokémon Sun - Nintendo 3DS

POKEMON!!!!! Who doesnt love it? This game is great! Its super addicting. My husband and I bought each other the opposite games and both games were phenomenal. I would recommend buying one and using the online trade feature to get the game specific pokemon. The only reason I would buy both would be to get both legendaries because that can be a little more difficult. The Sun game functions in time with your 2ds/3ds clock. The Moon will be night time in the game when it is daytime according to your 2ds/3ds clock. The animation is so much more entertaining than previous games. You get a new main plot behind that game full of classic battles and other fun challenges. You can really customize your character. I dont want to say too much and spoil it. If you love pokemon you will love this game!

I began playing pokemon as a kid and fell in love with it. I stopped playing for many years unfortunately, but picked it back up with Omega Ruby. I followed that with the older Pokemon X, and enjoyed the changes that had come to the series, so naturally I decided to get Sun when it came out. I really enjoy the graphics and gameplay as well as all the new pokemon. There are several new mechanics that were interesting, and some I honestly found mildly annoying. Many of the cutscenes I found a little too long for me, but the change from gyms in every town to the new system were welcome. Overall I have found the game entertaining and, in my opinion, one of the better of the long series.

I absolutely love this game. It is probably the best Pokemon game to have come out in a long time. I thought I would miss gym battles, but I ended up really liking the trials (which are basically gym battles but you do other things besides battle Pokemon trainers). I have not come across a Pokemon in this game that was part of the new gen that I didnt like so thats always a bonus! I do find the fact that Pokemon can call for help in this game rather annoying, but it doesnt affect my overall rating. If youve been on the fence about whether or not to pick this game up, I highly suggest you do, even if youve never played Pokemon before!

Ive been shamelessly playing pokemon since the release of Gold and Silver when I was finally able to get my hands on a gameboy color. I think this game is great. I love how it is different in that there are trials instead of battling gym after gym. More character customization options. Gets rid of HMs and replaces it with a really cool alternative that doesnt require you to alter you teams move sets. The dialogue is downright stupid/awkward most of the time and team skull, in my opinion, has to be the dumbest group of villains weve yet to encounter in the pokemon franchise. Though on the other hand, sometimes its so stupid that I find myself laughing out loud, I find entertainment in the stupidity. But kids would like it Im sure. Anyways, this game is highly enjoyable for the veteran players as well as first time players.

Nintendo must have figured the series was getting stale because they really made this one different from the others. Removing some of the constants from previous games (gyms) and adding new stuff (pokepelgo and island scan) make it feel fresh. This feels more like a general RPG that just another pokemon game. My only con (I would deduct half a star if I could) is the fact they make some things too easy. For example, now it tells you in the fight what moves will be effective before you use it. That and some other stuff is a bit hand holdy but I guess they are hoping for unfamiliar players that started with Pokemon Go would begin the handheld series with Sun and Moon.

Ive been playing since Red and Blue and Sun/Moon truly stand out as one of the bests in the series. Music is themeatic and colorful, the story is unique and refreshing, and visually the game is a solid improvement from X and Y. A lot of the improvements like ditching HMs, labeling move effectiveness, and the ability to raise IVs are small but greatly remove the annoyances of previous titles. Bringing back clothing customization from X and Y is great and the large amount of options make the experince as a whole much more unique. Z moves feel a lot less broken (Mostly) than a lot of the Mega Evolutions, and add another great element to competitive battles. Game Freak knows its fans and Sun and Moon never feel like a deviation of what has made Pokemon consistently a fun experience for both veterans and newcomers alike.

This is the world edition, so don’t pay the premium price.

I cant give much for a basis because I have never owned a different Pokemon game. But, when I bought this, I pre-ordered it and had no issues when it came to arriving on the correct date. The game is really fun. I know that it is very different from the other Pokemon games as far as doing the island trials and defeating the island kahuna. If you plan on getting a Pokemon game, I have been told that this one is the best one, it is a bias opinion but it is one that I hear a lot. I do recommend this game to anyone who is into the Pokemon franchise. P.S. This Pokemon is really easy to learn and has a nice way of showing and teaching you how to play Pokemon and how the new style of Pokemon on this island work.

Pokemon Moon is, in my experience, a surprisingly disappointing game. From the beginning island with the first trial I was shocked, repeatedly, at how easy they decided to make this game. Dont be mistaken: I am fully aware that Pokemon games have never been difficult, but this one takes it to a new level altogether. Cons: *Too many freebies early on and continuing throughout *Processes slowly in some parts due to console limitations *Limited fishing areas *No challenge whatsoever *No horde battles (Honey is essentially useless) *Has a marker that shows you where to go *Too many scenes *A legendary battle right after the last Pokemon League battle and quite a bit of scenes *Easily the most idiotic Team in any game. *The story was slightly lacking *S.O.S. can get annoying early on *Horrible designs for some Pokemon *New addition to battles sometimes shows effectiveness of each attack before you make it *The Pokedex nonsense after catching new Pokemon gets time consuming. *Move reminder teaches all moves a Pokemon can learn by leveling, above and below current level When I say, too many freebies, I mean it. You start off with more than 10 times the amount of money in past games, plus Pokeballs and Potions. Then you get Great Balls, Ultra Balls, Revives, and the EXP Share, all before the first trial. Not to mention more money (over 10,000) for catching a few Pokemon. And then there are the extra areas for racking up more easy items and cash that require little to no actual work: interacting with 6 easily found Pokemon on a beach (20,000 daily for 30 seconds of work), buildings that give daily free items, which include Master Balls and Big Nuggets, and a variety of possible items if you develop a specific island in Poké Pelago. I learned, after the fact, that you can repeat the battle with the legendary that comes after the Pokemon League, assuming you didnt catch it. If you care about the nature and IVs, and havent gone online to find out that fact, youre faced with quite the dilemma, so I count it as a con. I add the move reminder in there because it just makes things too easy. Takes away some of the challenge of breeding if you can get egg moves so simply. Pros: *Riding Pokemon is an interesting concept *Festival Plaza makes for a decent change of pace *A few new Pokemon designs are cool *Being able to get both major legends without another player losing giving up theirs *Hyper Training allows max IV stats without the breeding headache *Being able to see a Pokemons nature right after catching it Hyper training is arguably the best thing for competitive players that this update has. The training doesnt change the Pokemon in a sense that can be bred to future Pokemon, but the IV boost works for battling. Meaning you can essentially cut IV breeding from your agenda so long as youve got a Bottle Cap or two.

Sun and Moon deserves praise than any versions of Pokemon. This game will make you quit Pokemon Go and other Pokemon versions. It is simply better due to its improved features and added convenient systems. If someone says Pokemon Sun and Moon is too easy and should not be rated 9 out of 10. They are not humble because the real challenge is in online battle and they will get crushed anytime soon. So I will rate this game 9 out of 10 overall. Anyway, I bought both Sun and Moon versions along with official Guide and one more Nintendo system to evolve and power up Pokemons.
