Hey now, where's the Moon thread!?

I wonder what the differences between the two versions will be besides just Pokémon availability.

I am loving everything I have seen on Sun and Moon so far except...for the new Pokemon. Really not liking some of the new designs.

I'm so glad you can check stats and see strengths/weaknesses in the battle menu instead of trying to memorize everything.

A Meowth wouldn't let me flee a random encounter I had with it so I decided to Catch it and make it do my bidding. It certainly proved useful in the school area so it's part in my team may be more permanent then I thought.

@Hero_Of_Hyrule

The Alola Persian? I'm curious as to how it looks now... can't wait to start this Monday.

So who did everyone choose as their starter?

@GameDadGrant

I'm about to go with Litten. Fire cats... Gotta do it though. Historically I've gone with Grass types.

@Hero_Of_Hyrule I'm using Wishiwashi myself.

@GameDadGrant I don't have a game, but I'd choose Litten, mostly because I always go with the fire type. To represent my burning passion, I s'pose.

@Mop it up

Litten has been a treat so far. Knows Ember of course but learns Lick early on which is a nice touch.

In a strange turn of events, I chose Rowlett for my starter. I usually pick the Water starter, but this time I had to go with Grass. Mostly because I think it's final form is cool-looking (it's Green Arrow!) but also because I'll get the Ash-Greninja from the demo so I'll have my Water-type "starter" covered anyway.

Of course, I'll end up getting all three starters soon, I own both Sun and Moon. Thanks to the dual-pack from Amazon.

So what do you guys think of the Festival Plaza?

@Hero_Of_Hyrule

Yeah, I get that. On the plus side, there is a bunch of extra content available as well, most of which is beneficial to the main adventure. Accessible anywhere! Not stranded to a single town or area or PokéCenter or whatever. So that's kinda nice, I think.

Apparently there's a save glitch if you save in a pokemon center so don't do that.

@pokepal148

Thanks for the heads up!

Can you have a Mon follow you around?

@Mop it up no, but you can have a fish that summons a bunch of other fish to form one giant fish made of fish.

That's way better.

Uh oh. That's where I saved last.

By the way everyone; be sure to grab your free Munchlax from the Mystery Gift option on the main menu! Connect to the internet and you'll get Munchlax and a Z-move for it when it evolves into Snorlax. Sweet!

@Hero_Of_Hyrule

Yeah, I can dig it. Extra content is extra content. Cool for those that want it, unnecessary for those that want to skip it. Win/win.

By the way, I read this on another forum. Take heed, trainers!

WARNING: do not level up Pokemon in the festival's rare cafe. I don't know if it's a bug or is intentional, but if a Pokemon is supposed to learn a move at a new level when leveled up to said level (ie: Kadabra learns Psybeam at lvl 21) it will not learn the move if leveled up via the rare cafe and will never learn said move except via the re-learner. I haven't used the cafe for any of my Pokemon, but I read about this issue on another forum when I was trying to figure out when Kadabra would learn something offensive

You've been warned!
