game mechanics

"Sun/Moon" inherits the features and systems of previous games in the series, and makes many changes and improvements. Players will play the role of a Pokémon trainer who comes to the Alola region for the first time, and conduct "Island Tour" exploration and adventure on various islands.

The game is different from the previous two-headed and three-headed body shapes. For the first time, the game adopts a life-size character shape. The background of the game is set in the "Alola region" based on the state of Hawaii in the United States. Some old Pokémon have developed "regional forms" in the Alola region, gaining different attributes and appearances. The game also adds the mysterious Pokémon "Ultra Beast" from another dimension. A total of 81 new Pokémon have been added to "Sun/Moon".

In terms of system, "Sun/Moon" cancels the "Gym" system for the first time in a legitimate work. Players no longer defeat gym leaders and obtain badges, but challenge the tests given by each captain and island owner through the "Island Tour" to obtain the "Z Pure Crystal" that symbolizes passing the test. When a Pokémon equipped with "Z Pure Crystal" has a qualifying move, it can unleash a full-power "Z Move" in battle. The "Super Evolution" that appeared in "X/Y" can be used after clearing the main storyline of the game.

This game cancels the Pokémon "Secret Learner" system, and the functions of clearing map obstacles, moving quickly, and cycling are replaced by "Pokémon Ride". Players can accomplish specified actions by riding the Pokémon they call.

The naked-eye stereoscopic display during battles in the previous generation has been canceled in this game for a smoother gaming experience.

In terms of battles, this game adds a new "Royal Battle" mode, which supports 4 players to connect for PvP battles.

The game is divided into two versions: "Sun" and "Moon". In addition to each containing different Pokémon, the two versions also have different in-game time. "Sun" is consistent with the built-in time of the 3DS console, while "Moon" is 12 hours different from the console time.
