Nintendo and The Pokémon Company
developed the newest installment of the monster franchise — "Pokémon
Sun" and "Pokémon Moon."
The game is now available exclusively
on Nintendo 3DS, the seventh generation in
the series, and can be purchased on Amazon or GAME at $48.74. The Fan
version of "Pokémon Sun" and "Pokémon Moon" can be
bought at $54.98, and it includes a special SteelBook case.
Ten million copies of the games were shipped, ensuring a network of
fans can get their hands on the game as soon as possible.
The games are set on the tropical
islands of the Alola region. In the classic catch, battle and trade fashion, gamers
will be taken to the four main islands, choosing one of the
three new partner Pokémon Rowlet, Litten and Popplio (Decidueye, Incineror and
Primarina when evolved) before they embark on a new adventure.
Players who got hold of the game
first-hand love the new Poké Ride feature, which lets the character in-game go
from one place to another faster. The game also introduces Z-Moves, which
unleashes the strongest power a Trainer and Pokémon can have. This move can
only be used once per battle.
According to a report by Famitsu as translated by Nintendo Everything, producers Junichi
Masuda and director Shigeru Ohmori hinted that there is a possibility that
"Sun" and "Moon" will be linked to "Pokémon GO."
This is one of the most exciting rumors to increase anticipation of the game.
"Pokémon Sun" and
"Pokémon Moon" are some of the games launched to commemorate the
media franchise' 20th anniversary.
Since February 2016, there have been a ton of events and products launched,
including a Nintendo 3DS bundle which offers Red and Blue games, trading card
games and monthly mythical Pokémon distributions, among others.
