Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this game for my 10 year daughter to see if she would fall in love with Pokémon like I did 20 years ago. Not so much on her behalf, I think there’s just too much other distractions like iPads, kindles, switch, ps4 mobile phone for her to sit there and really get into the game. I do t fault the the game for it though. It has updated graphics and is still addicting and a lot of fun to play, the story line is great and serves a purpose. Hopefully she will continue on playing by giving a second chance, like when the wi-fi crashes.

I bought this as a gift for my brother he loved I tried it and couldn't put it down

Got it for the young one and it’s the perfect game to keep them entertained for hours. I have the steel book edition and can vouch that the games are great entries in the series too for the older heads interested in the titles.

The newest game in the series, Ultra Moon explores the Alola region more deeply. Compared to the original Sun & Moon, the story doesn't really branch out until the climax, but it really fleshes out a lot of the characters.

If you've already played and enjoyed Pokemon Moon, you might wanna skip this title... unless, of course, you're just one of many avid Pokemon lovers, in which case, I say go for it! If you haven't played Moon or Sun, I would definitely recommend going straight into Ultra to enjoy all the additional quests, mini-games and Pokemon that have been added. After all, this game is literally just an upgraded version of the same game.

After playing Pokemon Moon, this game is admittedly quite similar, but the graphics are gorgeous and the added portions of the game make up for the similarities with the original Moon.

This is the first Pokemon game I picked up since the originals this is bringing back great memories!

Many awesome features that you don’t get in the regular version of the game, amazing gameplay and internal mini games that allow you to catch Pokémon you wouldn’t and won’t have the chance to catch in the regular version of the game. Also, extended storyline! (The mom isn’t always bad!)

My 12 year old begged for this game and loved it. It was a challenge and hours of enjoyment.

If this is your first dabble with Gen VII of Pokemon, get this version! Better Legendaries in-game, the real time clock is set to standard daytime, the bulk of the exclusives are superior (Alolan Vulpix, Houndour line, Passimian, Blacephalon, etc.). The downside is that if you like Blue, Green, Purple, and Grey, the clothing and Festival Plaza's exclusives in UltraMoon or Moon are a better choice. You can still get Midnight Lycanroc in the wild later on, if that's what you were on the fence about. As for the game itself, the story is nearly the same as Sun/Moon until you get to post game. That's when a familiar face, as well as many others, pop in. The graphics push the limits of the classic 3DS, the system I still play on. The only thing that really slows it down is double battles. I prefer the music in these entries to original SM, especially the Ultra Recon Squad's battle theme. My recommendation is to start getting familiar with the Festival Plaza asap. It's the best way to get Poke Balls, Waters, and other items for DIRT cheap. That way you can use Poke Dollars for TMs, clothes, and other expenses. Festival Plaza also allows you to get tons of character customization outfits for talking to other people on Wi-Fi. And all it takes is just to link to the Pokemon Global Link. You can do a simple Random Trade, or deposit a Pokemon to trade for ones you don't have, and then you get A LIST of other players to get shops and clothes from. I like to check daily because people will have entire outfits that are hard to get, and the currency in Festival Plaza is just answering text questions! Poke Pelago is also excellent for getting gobs of Berries, Fossils, Gold Bottle Caps, evolutionary stones, and even EVing Pokemon! You just deposit them onto the island, and come back a day later. This is sooo convenient for us that have jobs where we can't play Pokemon all day long. It's a good way to get perfectly EVed Pokemon, and even raise their levels for doing nothing. You get Poke Pelago on the second island after battling the Fire Trial, which is about 2/5ths the way in to the main game. Some new additions like Mantine Ride, battle poses, Ultra Space, and some BROKEN Z Stones are sure to entice people as well. Mantine Ride is the best way to get Move Tutors of any generation yet, as you get to play Tony Hawk on the back of manta while dodging Tentacruels in the surf. I average about 9 points per ride, which equates to quite a few really useful moves for just 4 minutes of the mini game. Things like Knock Off, Stealth Rocks, Gunk Shot, Heal Bell, and Liquidation are highly coveted moves not only in-game but also for online battling. The only reason I gave this one star less is that it's almost a carbon copy of Sun. We did this 20 years ago with things like Yellow and Crystal, but the difference is that Sun and Moon are very small games. They're in a tiny area, and the main story is shorter than say Black/White. Also, I cannot stand SOS Battles, and in these games you are forced to endure that mechanic all through the generation. But if this is your first experience with Gen VII, it's an easy 5/5. Another great Pokemon entry and a gorgeous sendoff for the highly successful Nintendo 3DS.

Who doesn't love a chance to catch more Pokemon? The play on Hawaii is humorous, but enough if a change from the previous games to make it interesting.

The game is amazing and with an awesome story. Would play all over again.

My daughter got this as a Christmas gift and she started playing it that day. Asked her how she likes it and she said I like it very much mom.

Another great pokemon adventure. It has a slightly altered story based off last year’s sun and moon, but the additions are all for the better.

Awesome story that’s sort of unrelated to the original. Island trials are mostly the same but there’s new Pokémon and new areas to explore

The graphics and sound are great for what the 3DS can do, the gameplay is the same solid turn-based strategy that the series is known for but there's enough new changes to keep it from feeling stale. The new pokemon are all colorful and interesting and there's a good mix of new dragons which is my favorite type. Highly recommend this!!

My 11 year old daughter loves loves this game! I would highly recommend this game for all ages!

its the same story pretty much but a little bit added new features just think of black & white & then black 2 and white 2 same concept.

I love this game. It’s got new Pokémon that didn’t appear on Moon. I love that I can catch legendary Pokémon from previous generations.

My son doesn’t really ask for much but he asked for this, I had to get it for his birthday and he loves it! He has yet to put it down.
