That’s not to say that the new aspects brought into fold don’t provide great entertainment value on their own right. The list goes on and on, and Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon continue to deliver on the silliness that made the original games so fun to play. For example, one of the biggest enemies in the games is an evil mom, the evil team of the games are wannabe hip-hop artists, and there are inter-dimensional monsters that threaten the fabric of existence itself. There’s admittedly always been a whimsical side to the series, and Sun, Moon, and their respective sequels fully embrace that. One can find some changes from the original games in these new entries, but the charm that sets Sun and Moon apart from the rest of the Pokemon franchise is still very much found in the pair’s Ultra counterparts. This being said, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon still both make a remarkable argument to exist in the DS and 3DS era of handhelds. One would think that it only makes sense for the company to give Pokemon the same treatment that Mario Kart 8 and Pokken Tournament received earlier this year, but Nintendo isn’t exactly known as a company that performs according to expectations these days. This means that the pair will release while Nintendo has a popular new console on the market called the Switch that could have very easily handled the remakes.

During battles, you can also tap the "i" (information) button to see what kind of an effect your move may have on the enemy, which is a welcome new feature to prevent you from wasting time in combat. Even the little things - a helpful new map and an objectives list on the bottom screen of the 3DS and the ability to earn Z-crystals to unlock super powers (or Z-moves) are worth mentioning. If you can look past these issues, the improved graphics, intuitive controls, and engaging combat sequences all make these games easy to pick up, but difficult to put down. Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon - one taking place during the day and the other at night, with different Pokémon available per game - hasn't changed the standard gameplay formula from previous titles, which is just fine, but there are a few enhancements and additions this time around.Įverything isn't perfect with these two games, because you'll have to forgive the lame story and some long animations you can’t skip through. Whether you’re a seasoned Pokémon fan or brand-new to the series, these two games are excellent role-playing games for players on the go.
