Pokemon Sun /3DS (Nintendo 3DS)

Great game thanks

Sun and Moon are a refreshing addition to an old title, without a doubt they are the best within the whole game series.There are lots of new or tweaked features in S&M that have made the game alot tougher and more enjoyable. For starters the new pokemon introduced in S&M seem alot more... "interesting and just more" than those introduced in previous titles like X&Y and B&W, also the layout and areas which you catch certain things like the "baby" pokemon seem to make the game far more interesting. The longevity of the game also seems alot better than previous versions as the game itself seems tougher, this could be because i never liked the idea of "Z moves" as i never liked Mego-Evo in X&Y, without these distinct advantages or the usage of the Demo gift, the whole game lasted far longer than previous titles. The new gym replacement "Island trials" at first, seem like a easier and less challenging replacement as you only take on 1 Specific Pokemon and whatever that calls for help, but this actually is far more difficult and more interesting due to its vastly increased statistics. Also details on training specific pokemon has become alot easier to understand over previous games which allows you to find and train pokemon with more potential alot easier. Also the lack (so far as of Jan 2017) of a National Pokedex is not implemented, which may seem as a bad thing, worked out as a better factor of the game, there are 301 / 800+ available pokemon so you are hardly limited for choice, but there are more reasonable trade offers in game rather than past games where players wanted the "1 and only" pokemon in exchange for a thing they caught at the start of the game.Though it is the best game in the series in my opinion, there are a few things that i do have to point out are rather negative aspects, first and formost, the game still includes mega-evolution which was a rather disliked feature by alot of players, though this is a end game aspect, with little bearing to overall gameplay, also it is not forced upon you like X&Y / OR&AS, so it is not a major problem. The main other complaint i have is that the online interactions (battles / trades) are alot more of a bother to access (you have to access a seperate area to access those features) than in X&Y which was accessable at any place and at any time, making it less desirable to participate in these.Overall though both S&M are brilliant games and any fan to the series, be it 20 years ago or just recently should definatly try these games.

Game card is in great condition and works perfectly

I've played Pokemon since the initial release of Red and Blue/Green, and Pokemon Sun is definitely up there with one of my favorite games to date. While some 'gen wunners' complain about all of the releases after gen two. my complaint so far was only towards Diamond/Pearl/Platinum before picking up again, and Sun/Moon have more than shown that they've returned to their original glory. Don't get me wrong - Sun is entirely different from the prior games, even X/Y. but that doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing. It's a breath of fresh air with new mechanics like SOS Battles, a revise of the Pokemon Amie with Refresh, as well as inventive new ways to train your Pokemon and even their IVs so you don't have to spend hours searching or breeding for that one 6IV Pokemon. My complaint would be with the Festival Plaza - to me the PSS was perfect. Why get rid of it? But now you have to go to an entirely separate part of the game just to go online, as well as having to go through a clumsy list of people to find your friends to battle or trade with. It's a bit silly, but it doesn't detract from the game as a whole. The more story-focused elements were great. though I do wish they went a little more 'mature' with it, as there was so much suggested through random logs, or even part of the story itself, of a darker underbelly that's never truly explored. There's also the Battle Tree, which is Sun/Moon's version of the Battle Maison that has some...peculiar AI to it, which can make it a little frustrating. But even though I've completed both the Pokedex and the story I'm still playing the game to this day.

I've been a life-long pokemon player (yes I'm in my 20s) and this is the first game for quite a few years that has been genuinely exciting! The other recent pokemon games I've played were X, and Omega (too short stories and ended up being a bit dull). But I've almost finished Sun and it's kept me excited the whole way though. There are small differences in the game mechanics, which rather than detract from it, give it a new lease on life. The battling is slightly updated, and the effectiveness info is actually quite good without being intrusive.I think the story line is interesting, occasionally a bit self-mocking, and very different to any of the last ones! The only thing I think is slightly overdone is the fact that you are led by the hand through the game - a bit more self discovery would be good and feel less rushed.Buy this for kids or for yourself - any pokemon fan will enjoy it!
