I've been playing the Pokemon games since Pokemon red and blue and love them. The game is worth playing if you love the games. The story is pretty good, the added mechanic of z-skills will make online battling interesting, the game felt a little more challenging than more RECENT games (in terms of type advantage doesn't mean you get a one hit K.O. 90% of the time). While I enjoyed this installment it was a little short and the post game is lacking.

This game is very different from the other pokemon games, especially because of the story/plot that is well developed. Now in the Aloha Region there are many new pokemon and even some old ones returning oddly different than before. Overall, great game and very fun. :)

Played all the Pokemon games available and this one is towards the top. Introduced some new concepts to make it have a new game feel, but it is essentially the same Pokemon game, which is fine because most are all good. Would recommend for old and new Trainers alike.

I have played the Pokemon games since Crystal so I am a little biased but this game is a little easy compared to other games in the series. However, it's a great introduction game for kids for that very reason. There are also a lot of cool new pokemon added in this gen. If I had to recommend this game or the Ultra variants I would recommend the Ultra variants more because there is more post game content.

Been a die hard fan since Day 1 of Pokemon and this game has been a lot of fun! Some pretty great features added (some lame ones too but they're not terrible) and really enjoyed the storyline. I highly recommend for all Pokemon fans (even new aspiring ones)!

This is spectacular from a graphical standpoint. It has an interesting story. The gameplay has no limits: the end-game is superb. This is the best Pokémon ever? No, but it's the Pokémon game best balanced for both experts and new gamers.

I love this game with a passion. With all the new pokemon, new strategies for battling, and in-game features I can honestly say that this is the best Pokémon Game. My first Pokemon game was Special Yellow. This even beats the nostalgia.

Fun game with a good storyline. Wish it was longer and there were more Pokemon to catch. Nice that you can catch a lot of the old starter pokemon.

Pokemon Moon has the usual Pokemon game feel but it's interesting to see the different versions of Pokemon in it, some Pokemon look different. It has a good story and lets you catch and play the Pokemon game you know and love!

My girlfriend and I were really excited to play this game and we were surely not let down in any way. The departure from smaller models and sprites felt a little weird but quickly adapted. One of the more surprising aspects of the game was how well the world felt more fleshed out and the time spent working on the game is evident.

Great addition to the Pokemon franchise

Pokemon Sun and Moon both take the decades-old formula of the series and makes some interesting, bold changes. Most notable among these changes are the addition of the Pokemon Ride mechanic to explore the world environments, replacing the former HM moves that had become bloated and predictable as the franchise aged.
Other changes include updated versions of original 151 Pokemon, both in appearance and type. The updated types of these familiar Pokemon are more interesting than I'd anticipated and had me using old favorites that never quite fit my team in previous entries. The brand new Pokemon that accompany every new pair of games also offer plenty of new strategic elements throughout the game.
What keeps this game from receiving a full 5 star rating are just minor gripes (I'm pretty picky about what I give perfect scores to). Namely, things like repetitive battle music that clashes against the game's otherwise more relaxed tone, too many story cutscenes and interruptions to gameplay, and occasionally underwhelming environments that begin with promise but fail to live up to their potential.
Altogether, though, this is a very solid Pokemon game and I've consistently enjoyed my 40+ hours of play time. Hopefully the next game (or rumored third of this batch - Pokemon Stars) will make good on these simple but apparent problems.
