Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon
- November 17, 2017
- Game Freak
Ultra Sun and Moon feel like the definitive version of an already fantastic game. With plenty to do after the credits have rolled, and new content sprinkled across the story, this is a fitting swansong for Pokemon on the DS family.
Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon are enhanced versions of the original games, taking place in the Alola region. The legendary Pokemon Necrozma has taken two new forms, Dusk Mane Necrozma in Ultra Sun and Dawn Wings Necrozma in Ultra Moon. Players can expect new Pokemon, exploring the region, and battling formidable foes in this enhanced adventure.

Pokemon Ultra Sun/Moon Review – A Worthy End
At the end of the day, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon bring us back to the idea of the definitive edition of the Pokemon games. These are the Yellow Version, the Crystal, the Emerald, the Platinum to the original Sun and Moon. The story is focused (albeit shoved right in your face) but still entertaining, as all Pokemon games should be. Fans of the original Sun and Moon may find themselves rehashing a lot of the past, but for those of you who have yet to play a Pokemon game, now is a better time than ever to jump in and experience the hype. If these games are the current limit to what the 3DS can offer, then one can only hope that the Switch does the franchise proud.

Much more a refinement of what came before than a new entry, Pokémon Ultra Moon is very deceptive, as what begins as minor story and backdrop alterations becomes so much more as the game progresses. There is still a great sense of familiarity that may understandably disappoint for a full price purchase, but buyers will find what ultimately ends up as a title highlight for the whole series, and a tantalising glimpse into the future on Nintendo Switch.
