Pokémon Sun / Pokémon Moon | REVIEW

Posted on January 7, 2017 by Jason Nason

Before Nintendo officially announced Sun and Moon I made a list of predictions of what I expected Nintendo would announce this year. Atop that list was another Pokémon game but it wasn’t a brand new game that I had predicted. As with tradition I thought that we would surely be getting Pokémon Z, a third game companion to X & Y. Third games have become a tradition after the first pair of games. Well I was wrong and we didn’t get Z; we got something even better.

Overall Nintendo didn’t reinvent the wheel with Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. Things weren’t shaken up and no one at The Pokémon Company overturned the cart to start from scratch. Why mess with a proven winning formula? What the folks behind the game did is keep what we have come to know and love with the series and inject just enough freshness into the game to make it another winning entry in the series.

Don’t get me wrong. There are definitely things that have been long sought after that haven’t been included in the game, but wishlist items aside Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are great games. (From here on I’ll refer to the games as Sun & Moon.
