The Pokemon Sun and Moon adventure can take quite a long time to complete. The upcoming duo of Nintendo 3DS games feature a 30-plus-hour story, packed with engaging content to keep things fresh and exciting for all types of players. Read on below for some impressions of the story in Pokemon Sun and Moon:
The 30-plus-hour story of the Sun and Moon adventure also contributes to that vibrant world-building. It’s the first Pokemon game in a while that kept me focused on the journey and discovery, rather than setting my sights on the post-game and grinding until I reached it. That’s not to say that the plot is compelling on its own — it’s a fine story for a Pokemon game, but it’s plagued by awkward dialogue on the part of Team Skull and some predictable events. There are times when it pokes fun at itself for its sillier parts, and I appreciated that even when I wasn’t as excited about a scene.
But there’s a general mystery to Alola that serves as a carrot drawing you forward, and as a result those story pitfalls take a back seat to let Alola and its inhabitants speak for themselves. Even the slower scenes are made better with vastly improved camera work — learning about how Pokemon battles work for the thousandth time is less boring when the conversation looks almost like an anime rather than static frames, and the characters are more expressive than in any previous game. And almost everything from the new Alola forms of first-generation Pokemon (like Marowak, which went from ground-type to a fire-ghost wielding a flaming bone club) to the Island Challenge in general is different enough from what I’m used to as a lifelong player, in that they feel like fresh discoveries.
