Well friends, the final chapter of our Alolan adventure is almost upon us and the final trailer before the release of Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon has arrived.
The review embargo for the games has also been lifted, so here’s what official outlets are saying:
- Nintendo Life 10/10 – “You’d be forgiven for not wanting to jump back into the same world again so soon but, in their own right, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are truly incredible entries to the series that deserve to be sitting amongst the elite Pokémon titles.”
- GameReactor 9/10 – “The story is much more engaging this time around, there’s plenty of call-backs for long-time fans, and the title’s proceed to push the 3DS even further.”
- Gamespot 8/10 – “Though they aren’t very different from their predecessors, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon make enough changes to stand apart as the definitive version of the seventh generation games.”
- EGM 8/10 – “The definitive edition of Pokémon Sun and Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon encapsulate the elements of what made the first set of games great—and also carry forward some of the games’ flaws.”
- TheSixthAxis 8/10 – “Plenty of new features and details will make fans of the franchise very happy and while I still mourn for the DexNav to this day, the new content is well worth becoming Alolan Champion once more.”
- GameXplain ‘Liked-A-Lot’ – “They feel incredibly familiar to those who have traveled to Alola before”
- Famitsu 36/40
Does anyone know how soon we’ll be able to transfer Pokemon from sun and moon? I’m assuming it’s as soon as we get to an pokemon center and unlock festival plaza. Seeing as I won’t have the game till late tomorrow if somebody finds out or knows I would appreciate it if you’d let me know.
Thanks in advance ??
I’ve never actually done a dedicated team run of Sinnoh and Kanto yet…….
weird
Even though I’m bad with my team at least I’m not my friend
Friend: *wants to use all star team in alola*
Friend: *One of the main members is locked behind post game Island scan*
Why don’t they trade it over?
Idk, I might just breed them an aron tbh
I honestly regret hating on passimian so much cause honest to god I love its design
Bro you’re sh*tposting what’s the mattah
that’s not a shitpost, I actually like the thing a ton
I honestly if it pops up, will catch it and use it
How often do you notice that your in game team has an ace? Some teams for me have a super obvious ace (usually the starter or a pseudo), some teams have a sleeper ace (starts off bad but murders the game) and sometimes it feels like the whole team is aces (as much as I don’t like ORAS as a game, my AS team was kick ass)
Crabrawler was pretty effective in Sun,
Frequently. In my runs…
Every Nuzlocke: Honchkrow/Murkrow
Alola: Araquanid
Unova 1: Samurott (I twas just a kid)
Unova 2: Ampharos
Johto: Tylphlosion/Ampharos
Kalos: Dragalge but the HM slave Hawlucha was the lowkey MVP I didn’t realize till later
Honestly in Alola my ace during most of the time it was on was Marty the Togedemaru
In X it was Sylveon, AS… my Hariyama wasn’t the best in-game, but somehow even tho it had decent stats it dominated competitively, in Diamond definetly Honchkrow, BW and BW2 it was my Samurott (I love Samurott)
But who probably pulled through the most as a whole and never disappoints? Marty 100% despite being Sassy he bested the E4 single handedly (for the most part) with a move pool of Zing Zap, Spikey Shells, Fell Stinger and Poison Jab (Poison Jab was just the greatest on it)
So it seems that my final team choice seems like I’ll be picking Honckrow or Glaceon for my all star team
Honckrow has played a larger role in my games considering its saved three or four of my nuzlockes by itself.. but Glaceon also played a huge role in my childhood and was one of my favorite mons to use in Diamonds post game….
I’ve never actually used either in a full blown playthrough (even though I might as well with Honch considering how long it’s lived in nuzlockes, sometimes even to the end of them)
My team also has more special attackers and would overall benefit from Glaceon… this choice is so hard
Oh cool! Honchkrow honestly is amongst my favorite Dark and Flying type
In Diamond it literally pulled the team through the cold mountains, the shocking SunnyShore Gym and was rarely bested *Flashbacks to the one shot Machamp battle* So yeah I totally say you should use it
Serebii has updated all their pages with the Pokedex, move changes, etc of USUM
