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.

- 9.0Whether 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.
- 8.0The core gameplay is there in new forms, the extras to the series are hit or miss, and the overall storyline is sweet but poorly paced- but it’s still an excellent game that will continue the franchise for another twenty years. That is perhaps all you need to know about Pokémon Sun and Moon; it’s an easy sell if you have even the most passing interest in the Pokémon franchise, and will always remain that way regardless of what it does wrong or right.
- 9.0Pokemon Sun and Moon challenged me to try the franchise’s formula in a brand new way, and despite my reservations the games came through in a big way. Trials are a fantastic alternative to Gyms, the Z-Moves are flashy and powerful if also lacking in strategic risk, and the world of Alola is bright and colorful. There are a few odd nitpicks to throw at the two games, but it’s hard to argue that Pokemon Sun and Moon is the best thing to happen to Pokemon in years.
- Pokémon has been a classic series for twenty years and with 2016 being its 20th, Pokémon Sun and Moon is a perfect way to celebrate such a milestone. It still holds all the charm and fun from the original titles yet creates an entire new world to explore. It’s a must-have for fans and a worthy place to begin for newcomers. The future of the Pokémon series shines bright like Pokémon Sun and beautiful like Pokémon Moon.
- Pokemon Sun and Moon are a fantastic new addition to the storied franchise. They make improvements in a ton of key areas, shaping the experience so that it is more fun, less frustrating, and just overall more enjoyable. The new mechanics, such as Z-Moves, range from good to great, but the lack of some older features might annoy a few players. There are alternatives though, so this is still a top notch entry, even for longtime fans.
Gamer reviews
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.
Cannot skip movies and theres a lot of movies.
