The games just weren’t that memorable to me, in fact, I couldn’t even name any of the starters from this generation nor could I name any of the Pokemon. This is the only generation I haven’t gone back to. Generation 4 ( Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heart Gold and Soul Silver) It looks Nintendo and Game Freak are keeping the ball rolling on this generation, with the announcement of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. If you’re a fan of story-heavy games, you might end up enjoying this generation more than I did. This generation does have nice visuals and arguably has the best soundtrack in the series. I’m currently playing through Moon again to see if I can find some more positives. It really ruined my pacing and for the other games, I could sit down for hours at a time playing but I just couldn’t do it with Sun and Moon.
Going back to the story, there is an overabundance of cutscenes, especially in the beginning half of the game. The game holds your hand too much, which may not be a flaw for some people. Once you finish the story, it’s pretty much over. It does feature all of the quality of life changes from the previous installments so it plays fine but there is little to no postgame to speak of. They even ditched HMs, which is probably a good thing in the long run but I didn’t like the overwhelming amount of change.
I wasn’t a big fan of removing gyms and adding trials and I didn’t like the addition of Z-Moves. This might sound weird but I don’t play Pokemon games for the story and I didn’t really like the story-focused idea of this generation. That doesn’t mean the game is horrible, because it isn’t, but I can’t see myself returning time and time again to this generation like I have in the past. To be honest, this is the most disappointed I’ve been with a Pokemon title. Look, change is good and all but too much change isn’t always a good thing.
