Introduction
Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. They are the first installments in the seventh generation of Pokémon games. First announced in February 2016 through a special Nintendo Direct, both Sun and Moon were released worldwide in November 2016, commemorating the franchise’s 20th anniversary. As with previous installments, each game follows the journey of a young Pokémon trainer (and the trainer’s friends) as they train Pokémon. This time, the game takes place in the Alola region—based on Hawaii—with the object of the game being to thwart the schemes of the nefarious criminal organization Team Skull, all while attempting to challenge various Pokémon trainers of gradually increasing difficulty. Sun and Moon introduced 81 new Pokémon species, and includes new features such as Alolan forms of previous generation Pokémon, powerful moves known as Z-Moves, new, powerful creatures known as Ultra Beasts, updated battle and training mechanics, and improved polygonal 3D graphics. The games also adopted the previously introduced battle mechanic known as Mega Evolution, which was first introduced in Pokémon X and Y. Although Sun and Moon are mostly independent of each other, both feature largely the same plot, and while either can be played separately, trading Pokémon between the two games is allowed.
Plot
The player starts off moving to the Alola region’s Melemele island with their mom. They meet Professor Kukui, who tells them that the island kahuna is willing to give a free starter Pokémon to any trainer. However, when they reach the kahuna’s residence in Iki Town, but they find the town square empty. Professor Kukui asks the player to go and find the townspeople around the ruins honoring the island’s guardian deity, Tapu Koko. The player meets Lillie and helps protect her special Pokémon, a Cosmog nicknamed Nebby, from a flock of Spearow, but is promptly saved by Tapu Koko, who drives off the Spearow and gives the player a mysterious stone. Back in Iki Town, the player meets and gets his starter Pokémon from Kahuna Hala, and then meets and defeats Hau, the grandson of Hala. The player is then given a Rotom Dex by Professor Kukui, who tells the player and Hau about island challenges, and tells them to visit the Trainer’s School. The player then reaches the Trainer’s School and defeats the four top students and teacher, then meets Ilima, a trial captain. After leaving the Trainer’s School and meeting up with Ilima, the two are challenged by Team Skull, who are promptly defeated by the player. The player then completes the first trial and obtains the first Z-crystal, Normalium Z.
After informing and battling Hala, the player, Lillie and Hau travel to Akala Island. There, they complete the second trial and battle Team Skull’s enforcer, Gladion. The player then fights several more Team Skull members and completes more Trials and visits the Aether Paradise, where they meet the Aether Foundation’s president, Lusamine, and battle the first Ultra Beast, UB-01 Symbiont (later revealed to be called Nihilego). The player leaves the Paradise and completes another Trial on Ula’ula Island before meeting and battling Plumeria and Team Skull’s leader, Guzma. They then learn that Team Skull kidnapped Lillie. Hau and the player team up with Gladion against the Aether Foundation, which is revealed to be working with Team Skull. They then rescue Lillie and battle the true mastermind Lusamine, who reveals that Lillie and Gladion are her children before using Nebby’s powers to summon Ultra Beasts. The player defeats her, but Guzma and Lusamine both escape through the portal Nihilego appeared in, while Hala and Tapu Koko both show up to battle another Ultra Beast on Melemele Island.
Impression
I purchased Pokémon Sun on Tuesday 3rd January, 2017 while I started playing it on 5th of January due to memory card issue (had to buy and downgrade from 32GB to 8GB). The game began with the main character moving to Aloha region from Kanto region (a bit like Ash) just like how the demo started. It’s amazing that you can customize your main character’s clothes from head to toe as per you can look different from other players around the world with this new feature of the game.
While I was playing the game, I like the way Pokémon Trainers and their Pokémon interact before starting the battle as if you’re in an actual battle and also after the battle. Even the storyline is exciting and wonderful in the sense that I couldn’t get my eyes off it in fact I was able to finish the main story within 5 days of gameplay since I started playing it (YES, you heard me folks)
Anyways, There’re still more to do, more Pokémon to caught and to fill up your PokeDex , as from now my status is 17% at the moment on my own PokeDex.
I also like the new feature where instead of training a Pokémon a particular move such as fly, surf, strength etc, you’ll actually gain Ride Pokémon that while playing the game, the particular Pokémon will give you a ride to where you go, smash through rocks or push heavy boulders out of the way for you to progress through.
The game has beautiful visuals as well as wonderfully made 3D graphics to get players more into the game as I did.
I can say that I’m a proud owner of the new generation of the Pokémon game franchise and also I strong recommend that you guys should the game and watch the anime, you guys will love it.
Overall Rating – 9.3/10
