My Honest Opinion of Pokemon Sun and Moon - Truegreen7 Review

Enjoy my honest review of Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. I really enjoyed them, but what are the things I disliked? Find out...

Thanks to HoodlumScrafty and aDrive for the battle royal and shiny hunting footage.

My theory for the slower Pokemon is that since Alola is so tropical and peaceful, the pokemon didn't need to be fast because it was easy to get fruit or food whenever. So their need to be fast declined and now they are very slow.

I like how your mom never unpacked the boxes

Npc: "OH GOD NO THE ISLANDS ARE SINKING AND THE TAPUS HAVE ALL BEEN TRADED TO OTHER DIMENSIONS

Your character: *Smiles*

I hate hate HATE how your character's expression is just a static smile.

"Nebby, get in the bag!" - Lillie, Pokémon Sun and Moon, 2016

[truegreen]

In regards to tracking Zygarde cells, I would like to record the locations of Zygarde cells I already found, not know how many I have percentage wise :)

These are my favorite games in the franchise now, and I've never had a definitive favorite Pokemon game up to this point.

To be honest.. I cried when Lillie had traveled to kanto. The game was so immersive, the characters, story. and interactions with the player won my heart over. This is the best gaming experience I've had in awhile and I hope the Nintendo Switch will have a HD VR remake for gen 7 and we could see Lillie.

What if... Deoxys is an ultra beast... O_O

[lucelsby]

Thank god someone thinks the same about the smile

[NPHB]

The moment Lillie's theme started playing I reflexively started tearing up before I even realized what track it was.
Damn, this game really got me in the feels.

seeing gen 6, I assumed we wont have a story as good as gen 5, But man oh man gen 7!

[maromania]

ok but seriously though, what was up with that mallow mixing scene.

[canaldecasta]

Worst thing: pss changed with the fcking plaza

I don't see why people hate the Gen 5 EXP System. It keeps you from extreme overleveling while, if the grinding methods are good (which I agree SM kinda lacked), is such a good system to get your Pokemon to a higher level quick, even better then the older system. It's *literally* the best of both worlds.

9:02 Glad I am not the only one whose heart got crushed by that sentence.

[oyeh]

My complaints: The game is really linear and handholding, Team Skull isn't at all threatening, characters aren't as mature and well written as in BW, there's barely any postgame, and the mere presence of Hau is enough to ruin a previously enjoyable conversation.

Professor Dexter Sparkington III should have been able to say if you've gotten all the Zygarde Cells in an area or island at least. Like I kinda don't understand why Sina or Dexio didn't add such a feature onto him so he could tell you "Zzt! Wow, kid, you found every Zygarde Core on Akala Island! Now that'zzz what I'm talking about!" or something. And like... you walk into a route and he'll say he can detect a Zygarde Core. I think I'm just over 75% done finding all the cores, but I haven't actively been looking for them, either.

Great review though, Ron! I fully agree with what you said, though you didn't talk about Island Scans or the lack of HMs (o praise be to our might Legendary Pokemon for this gift of Ride Pokemon), but I don't think you needed to, either.

I think our protagonist is really spacey and is always thinking about food or something when stuff is happening. Lusamine verbally abusing her daughter? Protagonist doesn't hear this, for he is thinking of cheese.

Anabel: yet another teasing at the Battle Frontier we never got.

The main game is good. By far way better than XY. However the aftergame is a big meh. Sure you can do some UB stuff, but guess what, that are almost the same Looker missions as we had in XY. And what else? Half a tiny Island to explore.
There is a serious lack of post game content. Even trainers and captains can't be battled again outside the League or Battle Tree. In other words, if you want to Hyper Train, you'll have to do the Pokémon League over and over and over again.

Biggest flaw in gen 7.
