Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon



Trying to catch up on all of the latest Nintendo games, let's highlight a few 3DS games next.

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are the seventh generation of the franchise , which are enhanced editions of Sun and Moon from the previous year. Normally we would get a third "definite" edition, but this time, Game Freak decided to change things around.

The general setting is based off Hawai, where you will continue to catch and train pokemon while battling around, dealing with a villainous group, and overcome trials that haeve replaced the gyms from previous games.

With 81 new Pokemon, there is enough hunting and collecting to do, but like always, you will have to trade between Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon in order complete your pokedex. The core gameplay of battling Pokemon remains my favorite feature, as this can go quite deep.

Easy to learn, hard to master, setting up a balanced team of 6 pocket monsters remains fun to do, including the strengh and weakness elements, as well as learning new moves, per creature. For the first time, the games have authentic 3D graphics.

The plot is like always, nothing special, and I actually like to grind in here, which is a rarity for me nowadays. The Ultra Beasts and the Z moves on the other hand feel like generic buffed up specialties to use.

In overall, they are fine as a continuation, but definitely not peaking.

Rating: 7.7
