Pokémon Ultra Moon - Nintendo 3DS

I got the World Edition print of this game instead of the NA print, they both work the same I’m just bothered by the sticker on the front. The photo I used is what it actually looks like

It’s Pokemon! What is there to say? Amazing game though. My boyfriend and I both play Ultra Moon and Sun together and have a great time. The ‘multiplayer’ is a bit confusing though is all I have to say.

I played through the game expecting only a few minor changes from the original Sun/Moon, like the types of Pokemon you can encounter. What I didnt expect was a bunch of changes to the story and post-game story, as well as new minigames. The characterization of your NPC friends is done much better in this game as well, which makes playing through the story more enjoyable than the first. Its definitely worth picking up if you enjoyed the original SuMo.

I think it is good. However if you are looking for something totally different from sun and moon you wont find it but if you would like to play through Alola again with some things added or changed I can recommend it.

I actually bought this as a gift for my girlfriend--and it was completely worth it. She loves it even more than the original Sun and Moon--which I would later find out that I did too! (Sadly my copy wasnt from Amazon, but oh well.) One of the best games in the Pokemon series. So says I and so says my lovely girlfriend who hands my keister to me in battles on Ultra Moon.

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.

This is honestly just kind of lazy in design. With few exceptions, if youve played Pokemon Sun and Moon, youve played this one. Some people have different pokemon and they change a few locations marginally, added a mini-game, but the only real improvement is that there are far more pokemon available to catch. The story is changed very little, but what few changes there are ruins the story. The only worthwhile content comes in the endgame when some old faces from previous games return, and it is over way too fast. Im glad it didnt cost as much as Pokemon Sun and Moon, but honestly this should have been $30 tops at release for how copy and paste the game is. Only hardcore collectors or people that skipped the previous games should buy this, Im regretting my own purchase.

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?

A good game thats an upgraded version of Moon. However, the story has remained the same and feels like a repeat. Wouldve been great if it was a sequel like Black/White 2. Despite the nitpicks, I found the game enjoyable and would recommend for those who havent played it.
