Loving this new generation. I really like all of the new changes to the game dynamics, keeping the game fresh while maintaining everything that makes the Pokémon games great. Some of the last few installments (not including XY) had me going through them but feeling like its the same ol' song and dance, but this game is really enjoyable and feels new, fresh, fun, and nostalgic all at the same time. Great graphical upgrades, but ONLY complaint is that they removed the 3D, which would've made it even better.

Overall this game is a better version of the last couple 3DS games, in almost everything, graphic, game play, story, and puzzle. My only complain is that the game was too easy, and wish there was more of a difficulty setting.

My son loved this game, and played it often - all the way to the end. He preferred it over the Pokemon Moon game (not sure why) and we will continue to buy more Pokemon games.

So every game that comes out I coordinate with my brother so that we can make sure we cover both games and have access to Pokemon that's not available on the other game.

I purchased this game for my son and he loves it! As his father I've been a gamer for over 30 years and Nintendo doesn't disappoint when it comes to their Pokemon Series!

Honestly Pokemon's fandom has wayned, but this entry is quire solid in my opinion. Worth playing just to see how much the game has developed from its Red and Blue days.

IT is a pokemon game that blows almost all the other games out of the water. It's completely entertaining and you never seem to get lost and frustrated.

Funnily enough this is actually my second time buying this game. I purchased it and played it through to completion, but left the game cart on a table where my dog got to it and CRUNCH!!! I had the game no more. So I bought it to have and complete again, but interestingly, even though I found my first play though to be fun, the concept of playing through it again didn't thrill me. It has a great story and interesting characters, but unlike other titles in the series I didn't want to go back through with a different team of pokemon and try things differently, I was pretty much done with it on my first play though. So if there's anything you can take away from this, is that this is a really great game that will give you a good time while playing it, but once it's done, it's really done.

Instead of the usual gameplay, the developers changed up the formula and it's just as great. More fun since it's different than previous ones

This game has lots of stuff to do. After the initial storyline is done, there is still quite a bit to do. More Pokémon to catch!

I hadn't played pokemon since gold and silver and this game is the best I have ever played. I was hesitant to play after I hadn't played a pokemon game in years but didn't make a wrong choice in picking pokemon sun. Amazing gameplay, awesome variants of old pokemon, a compelling story and a nostalgic feel all rolled into one.

Pokemon Sun is a fantastic game, brings many new and enjoyable features to the franchise, and makes many changes for the better. However, the game can be held back by the overabundance of handholding and the frustrating new WiFi features. Despite this, the game is sure to satisfy any fan, beginner and veteren trainers alike.

They never disappoint with their games. It was new they did things different. It wasn't a regular run around through the gym. It was story driven for once and the creators took a different take on the Pokemon games themselves. It was different from the past twenty years. They changed the formula which made it feel fresh.

This game is a vast improvement on the previous games in the franchise. Increased freedom of movement, a lovely selection of catchable monsters, a compelling story and cast all contribute. My only complaint would be a lack of Stereoscopic 3D, but that complaint is not major enough to take off a star from the score.
