Pokémon Sun Review (Nintendo 3DS) ()  by  


Pokémon returns on the 3DS for what seems to be the last hurrah for the system. New legendaries, new starters, new region, new modes...it's a whole new world, with a brand-new attitude! But you still gotta catch 'em all. Be the best that you can be!

Thanks for the reminder on Munchlax! And great on the note for the glitch.

Where are you at in the game?

I just made it to the second island. I'm still a little in the dark on how the trials and captains and stuff all work… it's a little weird since it's not equal across all four islands, but I am having a lot of fun so far!

I'm catching every new Pokemon I can, due to my striving of a Living Dex. It's completely different than I normally try to play.

Having fun with it so far, and I like most of the changes they've made. I don't understand the whole festival thing though. I miss having the online stuff at my fingertips. Can you still get live alerts from people who want to battle you?

Wild Pokémon calling for help would be fine if it happened ONCE IN A WHILE... Sigh.
So annoying.

Also, I wish there was an option to turn off battle animations but show the Z Moves.

Between the festival stuff and the fact that I haven't found a good spot for hatching eggs I have a feeling that most of my breeding activity will be done in ORAS when possible.

I'm still on the first island. I haven't been able to play as much as I would like due to a health issue I'm dealing with lately. I haven't been able to post much lately either due to that. Or even watch TV! Hopefully I'll be over this by next week so I can really dig in. I have a lot of catching up to do.

Good luck with everything!

Thanks! I'm on some decent pain-killers right now so I'm feeling...fiiiiiiiiiiine. I think...? Ha ha.

Maybe I'll boot up some Moon tonight!

I basically realized that I need to get a full team at some point considering I just cleared the last trial on the third island and still only have 4 pokemon on my team.

I now have a Golbat and gabite that I need to train up to par with the rest of my team. if I'd known Rowlett doesn't keep its flying type on evolution I'd have been using a Zubat from the start.

I have to pay to use one of the Pokemon Centers in this game? What is this garbage!?!?!? 0/10! Worst Pokemon game #GenWunner

Also it's a good thing I nabbed Gabite and Golbat (Who has already evolved into Crobat) because Lusamine would have probably slaughtered me if I didn't.

The fact that my Persian has a Ground type Hidden Power continues to pay off all the time.

I'm about to face off against the first kahuna. Wish me luck!

Do yourselves a favor, pick up around 30 dusk balls as soon as possible and then forget about them. You'll thank me later.

Anyways I have finished the main game. It was a fun time to be had for sure.

@pokepal148

I've been trying to load up on Dusk Balls, Quick Balls, Ultra Balls, and Timer Balls (though I'm not sure I've come across those yet).

Just got Pokemon Sun. How soon are you able to use the Global Trading System? I want to get me all the Alola Starters.

@sirmastersephiroth

It's fairly early on that you get access to it.

All my friends have this game and it's killing me that I can't get it til Easter due to money issues.

Thanks!

What about access to Pokemon Bank? My plan is to get into my bank, breed my Litten with a Ditto, put the Litten cubs on the GTS and get the other starters.

@sirmastersephiroth

I think the damn thing is still incompatible till January or something silly.

@sirmastersephiroth
I don't believe Pokemon Bank is available until early next year,

That is pretty screwed up! I guess I'll have to find a ditto on this one.
