The demo was released on Oct 18, a month in advance of the release of the full game (games?). It’s fun, a little short, but if it was too much more involved you’d need a save point. Don’t get to see enough of the new Pokemon in my opinion.
Team Skull has to be seen to be believed. What nerds.
Have any of you decided which version you’re going to get? I decided on Moon, because I invariably go Fire-Type and I wanted to shake things up a bit. Then I saw the Legendary in Moon… What the hell is that thing??? So scary! :eek:
I think I’ll wait until December to pick up Pokemon Moon, and it’s going to be a challenge to avoid spoilers between Nov. 18 and Dec. 3.
I like what I’ve seen so far. It looks like there are a bunch of events where I need to talk to NPCs in X number of days, which should give me items to trade to the full games.
As I get older I have more and more brain farts, so I like the addition of the type-effectiveness labels on the move screen starting with the second time you encounter a Pokemon. My 14-year-old son thinks it makes battling “too easy”, but personally I like not having to rely on memorizing charts that change from generation to generation. I also like the quicker access to your team and their move sets. It makes switching out less awkward.
I also like the new ability to check a newly captured Pokemon’s stats and compare it to the ones in your party and then decide if you want to switch it with the one in your party all on the fly. I’m assuming that in the full game you will be able to send party members to the PC instead of releasing them back into the wild. Previously newly captured Pokemon automatically went to the PC and you had to wait until the next time you got to a Pokemon Center to check them.
I thought they were pretty funny the first time, seeing as what dorky poseurs they are. But I’m worried that talking animation is going to get old and really annoying before I make it to the 4th gym.
Looks like I’ll be getting Sun, as my son wants Moon (cooler legendary - the Sun legendary just looks like Pyroar on steroids) and I want to make sure we can trade version-exclusives.
