   The most captivating games I've ever played. After finishing Sun I then played Moon for a nuzlocke run and it was worthy.

   So... After months of anticipation, Pokemon Sun & Moon are finally out. Before Is start, I just want to mention that I have played theseSo... After months of anticipation, Pokemon Sun & Moon are finally out. Before Is start, I just want to mention that I have played these pokemon games since the very beginning. To this date, I have to say Pokemon emerald is still my all time favorite. It had exploration, wonder, two good enemy faction (magma and aqua) each with their own goals and reasons as to why they do what they do. On top of all that, they had a post game area called the battle frontier, essentially a set of mini-games with varying rules to challenge user. I say this so you will understand where I am coming from in the review.
   
   To start with, I enjoy the setting. You, the trainer, just moved to a new region called alola. Essentially, this region is not a giant map like every other game was. Instead, the region is made up of 4 small islands, each with their own pokemon (though some do cross over). I would assume they are trying to make this region similar to Hawaii, which I am fine with.
   
   Another thing they did differently is they got rid of the gym system. Other games before this, you would enter a town, solve a problem usually caused by rival factions, then battle the gym leader, get the gym badge and repeat. This game instead makes you go through trails, which is like a sort of puzzle, before fighting a difficult pokemon, called a totem. I can see what they were going for, trying to break the mold. Though I don't hate it, it still feels foreign to me.
   
   So here is something I find odd and kind of annoying. So my team is pretty powerful, some Pokemon are at level 30 (my traded Gengar is Lvl 44) and I assume I am 3/4 complete with the main story. I explore a new area and I lock eyes with a trainer. Im thinking "alright, its go time. Show me what you got". The battle starts and they only have a single Pokemon and I immediately go why... Most of the trainers you fight will only have 1 Pokemon, and rarely they might have two. I would like trainers to have at least 3-6 considering I am almost done with the main story. Battling trainers yields far more EXP than fighting regular mobs do, on top of that the more pokemon the enemy has, the more likely you are to see a pokemon you havent seen yet. Does anybody remember playing Pokemon Red? You just beat brook and you go down a road to enter a small cave. On the way there, there is a small cluster of NPC's each with their own pokemon, most of the time at least 2-3. By the halfway point in the game, most NPC's have at least 4-6 Pokemon. However it seems in Moon(the version I got) Almost every NPC has only 1 pokemon, which I can still usually one-shot if I want to.
   
   Another thing abut this game I find odd. Say you are trying to catch a pokemon in tall grass. You slowly diddle its health down and even manage to paralyze it. All of a sudden, just as youre about to catch it, it calls for help. Every time the pokemon calls help, if it succeeds it brings another pokemon by the same name into the fight. Now you're sitting in a 1v2 fight, and are unable to throw any pokeballs out. So now you have to go back and forth and knock out the pokemon it calls for help, only to have it repeat the process over and over again. I wish I was joking, but I have been caught in a 10-15 minute look of this, all because I wanted to catch a beldum. It wouldn't even be so bad if the frames didn't lag during double battles.
   
   One last thing I would like to mention. This game has a lot of text. Youre traveling through a town and its like a tutorial, they drag you into every store and side shop and talk to you. You probably dont care, you just want to catch pokemon, you dont want to take pictures and waste your time. But the game feels that you need to. Another things I have to say is that the rival faction (skulls) are seemingly lackluster. Granted I havent beaten the game just yet(almost there though), but it just seems to me like its a watered down version of team rocket, steal pokemon, get money. Except they dont have the same humor as team rocket, instead they use ghetto slang and hand guesters(like gangsters). After at least 10 hours of playing(I am guessing) I dont understand their motives or their goals. Team Aqua and Magma wanted to use the legendary pokemon to either cover the world in water(Aqua) or land(magma). Team Plasma wanted to free all pokemon by force. Team Flare wanted to destroy the ENTIRE planet. Team Skull just want to be a minor nuisance to everyone around them.
   
   As a whole, I enjoy the game, especially because I have a bunch of friends that play it as well. Its Pokemon, and it has survived as a franchise for nearly 2 decades doing the same thing over and over very well. Its a collect-athon of the highest order. Collect pokemon, evolve them, capture other pokemon, become the best trainer of them all, and fill out the pokedex. If you liked the core aspect of pokemon, you will enjoy this game, just set your text speed to the fastest speed and grab your ultra balls and start collecting.… Expand

The fact that a level 10 pokemon with 5 health can't be caught because it continuously summons other pokemon is a game-breaking mechanic.
