    The visual overhaul makes this the best looking Pokémon yet. Naturally, the amount of Pokémon on offer is almost insurmountable and will have you catching them all for quite a while, but be aware, they are a needy lot.

    Whether you're an old Pokémon fan or a brand new one, there's loads to love about Sun and Moon. These might just be the very best mainline Pokémon games ever.

    Pokémon Sun and Moon was a really enjoyable experience. The new day/night cycle was really fun and I liked the new Alolan forms a lot. The story was decent but not extremely engaging, and overall, I enjoyed it a lot. Also, Rowlet is probably one of the best designed starters that Game Freak have designed since the original 3, so credit where credit is due for that.

    This is overall my favourite Pokémon game on the 3ds the new pokemon are amazing I also love the new gimmick of totem Pokémon, as they provide a new experience and great challenge, they also fit really well with the Hawaii themed region. Another thing I love about this game is that the story is very good compared to other Pokémon games. Also the evil team is very funny and simple to understand which makes the game suitable for gamers of all ages. However I do have a couple of small complaints about Pokémon moon. The game just does not let go of your hand. There are too many cut scenes and tutorials it just feels like you can't do anything but stick to the main story, you can't explore or do much else because the game wants you by its side at all times, it just feels like the game doesn't let you breathe. Another complaint I have about Pokémon moon is the Z moves. They completely got rid of mega evolution and didn't make up for it themselves it was just a very lackluster and boring gimmick which could've made the game so much better if it didn't exist in the first place. However, despite all these complaints Pokémon moon is still an amazing game, and will always hold a special place in my heart.
