Pokémon Ultra Moon - Nintendo 3DS

So much better than the first in the series. I also love that at the beginning there are more varieties of pokemon available compared to the first. I love the little interactions with various pokemon and the multiple side quests that the game provides. It really makes the series more fleshed out.

The game was very close to the regular sun and moon. The big difference was all the legendarys you can get. The only problem I found with all the legendarys, was the annoying minigame you would have to play over and over for only a slim chance of finding one of the legendarys at random. Because of that, I was borderline gonna give this game a 3 star. I am a pokemon lover, so I still enjoyed playing the game again and experience the post-game episode which was very fun in my opinion.

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.

Lets see.... They made the intro faster to where you choose your starter. Added some new Pokemon (Ultra Beast) Added some transformations for the legends. Added minigames Added Ultra Space for easy Shiny Pokémon including legendary Pokémon Added new Z moves Added a bit longer story The post game added the Battle Agency (basically Battle Factory), a new Team Rocket and battles against Giovanni, Maxi, Archie, Cyrus, Ghestis and Lysandre.

Sigh. The more and more Im playing it the more Im realizing what a cash grab these releases were. Im sure the post game content will be great but for someone whos still trudging along through the main story it feels like deja vu from Sun and Moon. Speaking of the main story, its soooooo slow. I also keep waiting for something different to happen but honestly there isnt much. Sure, theres tweaks/small improvements here and there along the way but nothing that makes you go WOW! Anyways, for veterans of the series the word disappointing is an understatement. However, for newbies looking to get into the series and not experiencing Alola yet I would definitely recommend it. I just feel like they could have done so much more with this game after Sun and Moon. Oh well...

Havent played it yet but it arrived new so I cant complain

Defintely something you can spend days playing. For a Mom with a newborn its nice to have something I can pick up and put down as I need to. Especially when most popular games these days you cant pause. Ive loved the Pokemon games since the Red Version. I bought the regular Moon Version when it first came out and didnt think I would buy this version. I caved when I learned it would be the last Pokemon game on Nintendos handheld devices. Its definetely worth it. Its different enough and has enough extras packed in to make it a different yet fun experiences.

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

First Pokemon game since Pearl. Very fun. Has enough old Pokemon I can still follow everything and a nice mix of fresh new content. I cannot speak to the improvement over sun/moon however as I did not play them.

My son loves it has been waiting for this game awhile no issues thank you
