Even just wandering through the world, you can hear Pokémon calls, the breeze off the sea, and the rustling of the grass. The characters are varied and unique, including a lot of weirdly sexy ones, both male and female, and your own customisable character who can change her outfits, eye colour, lipstick and hairstyle. The music all sounds like it’s come straight out of Wind Waker - that pan-pipe-y, excitable call to action that makes you feel like you’re on an adventure. The battle screens are themed, I can only assume, around a really 90s surfing advert, with huge strokes of colour behind every text element. The designers have really gone all-in with the Hawaiian theme, even though you’ll occasionally come across confusing themes like a town that’s entirely based around a cowboy Western. The feel of the game is incredible, though. Have you ever had that feeling of abject terror when you look at your phone and you have what feels like a billion notifications? Sometimes Pokémon Sun and Moon feels like that.
It’s a lot for one person to keep track of, and it often feels like far too much - as if you’re not sure what you should be focusing on.
It’s honestly a little bit of a faff, and feels perhaps a little too much to bother with. In Alola, you’ll receive Z-Crystals by completing trials, which give you the ability to power-up any moves that correspond to the Crystal type. No longer will you traipse from city to city in search of their most battle-hardened warriors, collecting badges as you go - you don’t even get badges any more. complicated.įirst off, probably the biggest change to the well-trodden Pokémon tradition: Sun and Moon does away with gyms. Is that a good thing? Well, the answer to that is. But not until now has the game actually been reinvented - it’s been tweaked, changed, rewritten in incremental ways, but Pokémon Sun and Moon is genuinely, properly something different. In a sense Sun and Moon has a duty to appeal to an all-new audience -moving from their phones to a 3DS- as well as satisfying long-term fans.Įvery single version of Pokémon since the original Red and Blue has, in some way, felt like a reinvention of the game. A lengthy adventure as you travel a fantasy land, collecting and training new creatures before pitting them in battle. Following the huge success of Pokémon Go, there is potentially a legion of new Pokémaniacs ready for a 'proper' Pokémon game.
