It was a significant change from the other titles that came before it, and felt like it truly marked the start of a new era for the long-running franchise. Pokemon X and Y took Pokemon into the world of 3D on the Nintendo 3DS and let us experience its universe like never before. Pokemon Sun and Moon's lush world and interesting story are still worth working your way through, and it also has nice features that build on what was established in X and Y, including tons of character customisations options, and more of a social aspect. This doesn’t mean its a bad entry in the Pokemon series by any means, and it’s certainly more accessible for newcomers in certain respects - it just lacks the same feel. Plus, it's very light on the post-game content after you finish the main campaign. The change from the typical gym battles was odd too, and made Sun and Moon felt a lot slower to get going than the earlier games. Some of the Alolan designs are quite unforgettable, although we’re pretty sure everyone will remember the mighty Alolan Exeggutor for the rest of their days. The Alola region was nice breath of fresh air for the series, since it really changed up the setting and reflected its theme in its unique Alolan Pokemon variants. It’s vibrant, bright, and offers a slightly different experience than you're used to. Pokemon Sun and Moon is like going on a tropical Pokemon-themed holiday.
