The Pokémon included in this generation invoke a variety of emotion. Although many people were cautious towards this approach, I found that, although at some points confusing, overall it was an enjoyable change. This concept is nothing new as we have had mostly island regions before. In comparison to other regions where you traverse one section of land, the Alola region is made up of five main islands and has your character explore between them. Pokémon Sun and Moon are set in the region of Alola – a fantasy world based off Hawaii. This can become pretty annoying as you don’t have the option to turn it off. Saying that, I will admit that these new games are easier than previous games mostly due to the fact that the effectiveness of each move is displayed beneath it. Pokémon games are about having fun, exploring new regions, seeing new Pokémon and not having a really difficult time. If you want a really challenging game there are ways of making that happen but on the whole, you have come to the wrong place. Though this may be true, that doesn’t mean they aren’t fun anymore or entertaining to play through. Many people have complained that these new generations of Pokémon have been getting easier and easier and time goes on. The actual challenges are not hard at all so don’t expect to tested by these new trials but the Totem Pokémon fights can be quite difficult if you are under prepared and the Kahunas aren’t anything to laugh at either.

Although this may seem off-putting for seasoned fans, the way it is presented comes off as a breath of fresh air. Or is there…? In Pokémon Sun and Moon the islands have not yet created a gym system (or even an Elite Four at the beginning of the game!) and instead have a system of trials that involve: a challenge set by the Trial Captain, a fight with the Totem Pokémon and a battle with each Island Kahuna.
