Pokémon Ultra Moon - Nintendo 3DS

Honestly I have an issue with Pokémon games I buy like one of each but with ultra sun and moon I have like 6 copies of each. Don’t know how or why but I do

My grandson liked it but I was charged for two I did receive two but I had only ordered one , it is still in the package not sure if I can return it . Thanks.

First of all, THIS IS NOT A SEQUEL! This is an Omega Ruby/ Alpha Sapphire type deal, where its remade but better. I bought this thinking it was a sequel or a successor, akin to Black and White 1 and 2. I am disappointed that the game is essentially Sun and Moon but with some modifications and additions. However, I the game is pretty good and does improve a fair amount from the originals. It still has pokemon, they still need to be caught, and you still need to farm the heck out of those SOS battles to get pokemon with perfect IVs. You only need one adrenaline orb now, so thats nice. Oh, and the lag from totem battles are gone, which is lovely.

Preordered these games in excitement and received them on launch day. Played through them in the last 5 days and couldn’t be more disappointed... As someone who’s played Pokémon since Red, Blue, & Yellow (going on 18 years now), it really hurts to see how low gamefreak stopped for these “3rd versions”. Sun and Moon, despite their flaws, were such a fresh and beautiful reimagining of the franchise. The Hawaiian themed region, it’s culture and lore behind the excotic new Pokémon designs and the fleshed out characters were all amazing and made me fall in love with the series all over again. Sun and Moon truly felt like something special and it was a sign that the franchise was finally headed in a good direction again after the failed attempt that was Gen VI. But with these Ultra games, it feels as though game freak just got lazy, complacent, and ultimately decided to go for a cash grab rather than giving us one last great duo of games before leaving the DS family for good. And these games come off as possibly the worst in the series as a result. I still played through this game and made myself enjoy it because I already spent the $40 and don’t like to leave any of my games unfinished. But I just really hope this isn’t what we have to look forward to when the Pokémon main series finally makes it way to the Switch... For context... Pros + You can battle main villains and catch nearly all legendaries from past generations through convoluted means. It’s a bit of a goofy setup, but a fun and worthy addition. And it’s the only thing that kept me from given it a 1 star rating. Cons.. - These are the same games as Sun and Moon! Slight colorful changes to the UI and music (while nice) don’t make for a new game. - The abundance of filler, game-halting dialogue and handholding from the SM remains, making the pace of the game excruciating. - The new mini games and areas aren’t terribly interesting or fun and serve as half-assed filler options. - You also HAVE to play through those mini games to progress the plot, further adding to that pacing problem. - The horrendous Festival Plaza wasn’t tweaked or fixed at all and remains as is. - The new ultra recon squad are interesting but never do anything of note. They’re just there... - The epic battle with Lusamine from SM was swaped for a stupid and predictable narrative change. - Necrozma’s Dusk and Dawn forms are ugly and uninspired. Worse than Kyurem’s forms from BW2. - Your rival’s Pokémon can follow him outside their Pokéball, but yours cannot... why? - Due to some other narrative changes, there are some Pokémon in the game who make appearances with their overworld sprites, much like the ones that were leaked in the data mines last year. But you never really get to interact with them in this way. Hugely missed opportunity! - Zygadre Cell collecting was replaced with totem stickers (100 in total). While much easier to find and less time consuming, the payoff is ultimately null since your reward for finding them all is a just an aesthetic bump to some select Pokémon and nothing else. - Hardly any new customization options were added for your player. Same hairstyles, only a couple new clothing options. - Post game content is lacking just like in Sun and Moon. Catch some legendaries, UB, battle old baddies, and swap out rentals to battle with. After that, you’re stuck with the same post game as last year’s. Why couldn’t we get a rich and expansive post game like with Emerald or Platinum?

Way too many cutscenes and similar content to sun and moon. This is definitely for players that havent already gotten the new generation games. Does have a lot of added pokemon though in the later gameplay and is also slightly more difficult to beat.

I love pokemon been playing it for years. This is my least favorite of them all. I really dislike the camera angles, trying to make it a 3d world. I rather have a view from above angle like the older games even if it was a mix like X and Y. Its so disorienting. Also not a huge fan of the Hawaiian theme. Its too cutesy for my tastes. I also dont like the island challenges vs calling them gym leaders. I do love the starter pokemon and I do like the changing outfits thing and the battles are great with animations. 3 stars.

Muy bueno, excelente, original y todo!

My daughters a huge Pokemon fan, and this was a game that shed been looking forward to for a while. We got it for her for Christmas, and shes really enjoying it. She says some of the changes theyve chosen to implement have been really excellent, and shes having fun with it. Definitely a good choice for a Pokemon fan.

I am kind of perplexed by all the one star reviews complaining its the same game. The Ultra Sun/Moon games are essentially remakes/remasters with all new content and drastic storyline changes to the originals, and have always been marketed as such. Its not intended to be a completely different game as, say, from Red/Blue to Gold/Silver. Its better to think of these as alternative versions to the original games because thats exactly what they are. Expectations should be adjusted accordingly. While many locations and a lot of key plot elements are unchanged early on, the experience is significantly different from the get-go in a variety of ways. A lot of scenes are executed much differently (such as the way in which you get your starter), you are chased by an entirely new villain organization with a brand new plot line attached throughout, virtually all characters from major NPCs to simple villagers have new dialogue and quests, there are new areas to find and explore, there are TONS of new secrets and quests ranging from simple and obvious to more obscure and rewarding, there are a LOT more classic Pokemon throughout the entire game to encounter and catch from every generation, not just the legendaries... the list goes on. The latter half of the game plays out VERY very differently with all new events and locations, and the post-game has a lot more meat to it. Even a lot of the soundtrack and the UI have been overhauled and changed. While I can understand not liking a game personally, calling this exactly the same and thus a rip-off feels like a knee-jerk reaction and frankly, not an entirely honest one that isnt offering any helpful information to someone looking to buy this. Be aware of what youre getting and adjust your expectations accordingly. Playing this in no way feels like a retread of the original games and Im honestly surprised by how many changes there are, some big and some small. The story feels like it flows a lot better now; a lot of the cutscenes have been changes and rewritten in ways that make them feel stronger, while many major characters get a lot more characterisation so it feels more rewarding to people who have played the original and felt some of those beats fell a little flat. If you want a completely brand new game as you would going from one generation to the next, this isnt it. But as someone who has played the games on and off since their very first Red/Blue release but isnt a diehard, I am very happy with my purchase and what they chose to do with it.

wow I can’t believe I put this game off for so long being stuck on Pokémon white for years. And my god this version is amazing on the 3DS the graphics are awesome the Pokémon looks adorable (Litten melted my heart with his cuteness O.O also a huge cat Pokémon fan) and the story and animations are amazing! I’m so glad I finally evolved as a Pokémon trainer and got this game. IT WAS SO WORTH IT! Don’t hesitate just buy it for your 3DS you won’t be disappointed!
