Pokémon Ultra Moon - Nintendo 3DS

I was confused over what the World edition was and saw that it was cheaper. I was afraid it may not work so I intentionally paid more for a regular listing (non World). My 11 year old son spent his own $ on this. When it came he noticed the World edition marking on it. I want to get some $ back for him relative to what the World edition costs. It does work though and hes already put playtime on it so doesnt want to go through the return process. But the listing was deceptive!

It arrived on and in very good condition.

Im about 30 hours into the game and from what I can tell, it hasnt changed a ton. I pre-ordered Pokemon Sun and completed the pokedex with hundreds of hours of gameplay, so I know what Im getting myself into. The new pokemon changes really arent significant enough to explore and catch more as they really arent more powerful. Dont get me wrong, Ill play this game until I cant anymore, but it really hasnt struck with me enough to fall in love. If you are an avid pokemon lover, I would purchase. If not, wait until the next version comes out on the Switch.

I love pokemon been playing it for years. This is my least favorite of them all. I really dislike the camera angles, trying to make it a 3d world. I rather have a view from above angle like the older games even if it was a mix like X and Y. Its so disorienting. Also not a huge fan of the Hawaiian theme. Its too cutesy for my tastes. I also dont like the island challenges vs calling them gym leaders. I do love the starter pokemon and I do like the changing outfits thing and the battles are great with animations. 3 stars.

so, I love pokemon. No matter the game. This one was advertised as a alternate universe which I guess it is but I had to check the game cartridge and the title screen when I started this one since it was the same as Moon. Same intro, same house, same mom, same people. It seems incredibly lazy to me and made me really sad. If you are going to update a game - we have the nintendo Eshop now - you can do an update or an expansion there. Please dont make me get excited and pay $40 for a new game expecting it to be different. I was really excited for this one for a long time. I thought it would go more into depth with the end characters in moon. like an expansion or how Black 2 did it. But, now I am basically replaying moon. I will be skeptical for the next time the Pokemon Company does this. I will probably not preorder unless its obviously a new game... Come on guys, this was so lazy of you!

Ive not yet finished this iteration of Pokemon, but so far its been a mostly neat new experience. At times it doesnt quite feel as exactly the Pokemon games of old, but if they take these new experiences and refine them when they get to a Switch version then I believe it could be something grand on a platform that could support many more possibility then the now aging Dual Screen systems.

These games are some of my favourite from the franchise. I remember spending all of 2017 summer playing the original moon and all of 2018 holidays playing newly released ultra sun. The games themselves are great improvements on the originals, and if you played the originals and are wondering if these are worth it, Ill tell you right now that they are! These games are better than every pokemon game on the switch for me at least, and yes, that includes bdsp and legends arceus! Now for those of you who are curious about the version (World/UAE edition or North American). In short, nintendo have officially stopped making any games new or old for these devices earlier this year. Amazon in the last few years has also started to support third party providers for their products. This means that unless you are getting your game from a third party who somehow has these games new in North America, you will almost always get the UAE/World edition... What does this mean? Almost nothing! The game performs the exact same as a North American copy (assuming you have a NA 3ds/2ds/3ds xl/2ds xl). The only difference you will see is on the box art of the game case. It will have a little circle with UAE countries in it, but that is all! In simpler words... If you are seeing if these games are good or want to play them, this is a great purchase, but if you are a collector who wants a NA branded game case, this might not be the one for you.

Product is advertised as North American version yet the one that is shipped to you is the WORLD VERSION which you can find somewhere else for cheaper if that is the version that you want

Way too many cutscenes and similar content to sun and moon. This is definitely for players that havent already gotten the new generation games. Does have a lot of added pokemon though in the later gameplay and is also slightly more difficult to beat.

Essentially the same game as the previous two, but with slightly altered story and a few more things to do. If you are just getting into gen 7, get one of the ultra versions.
