Small quality-of-life changes such as helpful hints as to the strengths and weaknesses of any Pokemon you've met before being displayed on the touch screen make things more pleasant, but it's the same old Pokemon.

There's revelations about the past of certain members of the main cast revealed in a dramatic manner and generally a surprising sense of urgency about Sun & Moon's narrative.īehind the scenes this is still Pokemon as you know it, with the game still using largely the same battle engine that was used in X & Y. It's surprisingly exciting and engaging for Pokemon, and the game sticks with this. The background of the game is still the typical Pokemon coming-of-age story driven by the island challenge, but Sun & Moon open with a cutscene that's a sort of dramatic chase, a mysterious character pursued by menacing goons. Rather than just a quest to be the very best and defeat the elite four Pokemon trainers of the game's given region, Sun & Moon offer up what feels, strangely, more like a traditional JRPG quest-line. Most of these make a nice pace-breaker from all the fighting. There's puzzles, battles and even just taking on a bit of Pokemon Snap style photography. The challenges you complete on the way to an island leader vary decently.
