    Another great installment in the Pokemon series. There might be a little too much hand holding in the beginning, but the story and character development make it a nice change of pace for the Pokemon series.

    My girlfriend picked up this copy and loves it. She plays it all the time and had to pickup a new 3DS just to play it. She loves catching the Pokemon, battling and trading. This Pokemon game is great for everyone!

    I was really exited to play the new pokemon game and my expectations where pretty high. I was not disappointed, it is really fun and I'm a little bummed that it doesn't use 3d in battles but still a awesome game.

    I have been playing Pokemon since 1996. I have played every generation and this is my favorite, gameplay-wise so far. Breeding and EV training are much easier, and the AI is much smarter which ups the difficulty.

    Another great Pokemon game

    I've seen comments that Pokemon games are just too easy, but I think you get out of this game what you want. You can farm experience and level up fast enough that you can beat the story easily, or you can play through the story without farming and have it be more challenging. I like that the game carries over things like the ability to interact with your Pokemon and raise friendship and more control over their stats from previous versions, but also adds new mechanics. The game feels very deep, the story is a good length, there are lots of Pokemon, and the move animations have been updated. Overall I think it is great. If you are a fan of RPG's, collecting games, or Pokemon in general, you should pick this one up.

    This game has breathed new life into this franchise. I am very glad to have picked it up. The story is the best in the franchise, and the game is actually fairly balanced around the exp. share this time around.

    I played every main series Pokemon game and finished every version except for Pokemon Platinum. Pokemon Sun was so different and so great. I loved the new Pokemon, the music, and the story really hooked me.

    This game brings anew aspect to the Pokémon series. It goes away from the regular gym battles and have unique trials that you must complete. Overall, Sun and Moon are some of the best Pokémon games ever made.

    So Pokemon Moon takes place at night Pokemon sun takes place during the day and they actually look like they put some effort into the Pokemon this time like I said if you grew up playing it might as well

    Imagine getting educated on Pokemon by your nine year old. If only he could be that excited when it comes to school work. But if it keeps his young mind expanding I'm all for it. And who don't adore picachu

    It's been quite a while since I dived into a Pokémon game, and I'm glad I made my return with this one. The world is full of things to do, and there are plenty of Pokémon, old and new, to catch and train.

    Loved the story, loved the additions to the pokeverse. Lags occasionally during multi battles but hey, there are worse things. Finished the story with 150 pokemon in the dex in a little under 25 hours.

    My grandson was super excited to receive this game as a gift and he said it's a great game. Best Buy was the only place that had it in stock because it was so popular. Next time, we will shop there first.

    Worth buying. Very interactive and the new features are placed smoothly into the game. The game is short, but the game gives you a lot to do after. GTS and deposit trading is one of the best new features.

    Game changes up the whole Pokemon story set up you are used to, which is a good thing. Although some features have been left out from past games, I was able to look past that because the game is good.
