The player controls a young trainer who goes on a quest to catch and train creatures known as Pokémon, and win battles against other trainers. Pokémon Sun and Moon are role-playing video games with adventure elements, set in the fictional Alola region (loosely based on Hawaii), presented in a third-person, overhead perspective. To date, Sun and Moon have sold over 16 million copies worldwide, making them the third-best-selling Nintendo 3DS titles, after Mario Kart 7 and their predecessors, Pokémon X and Y. Upon release, the games became some of the fastest-selling games in Nintendo's history at that point. The games received generally favorable reviews from critics, who welcomed the change from the formula used by prior Pokémon games and praised the gameplay of Sun and Moon while criticizing the lack of content beyond the primary plot. Pokémon may also be traded in from other games just like in previous installments. While largely independent of one another, the two games follow a similar plot, and while each can be played separately, trading Pokémon between the two games is necessary to complete the Pokédex. Sun and Moon introduced 81 new Pokémon species, and new features such as Alolan forms of previous generation Pokémon, powerful moves known as Z-Moves, alien creatures known as Ultra Beasts, updated battle and training mechanics, and improved polygonal 3D graphics. They follow a young Pokémon trainer's journey around the Alola region-based on Hawaii-with the objective of the games being to complete the island challenge and thwart the schemes of Team Skull, and later the Aether Foundation, all while attempting to challenge various Pokémon trainers of gradually increasing difficulty. The titles began development following completion of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, with increased emphasis on Pokémon interactions, and relationships. A pair of enhanced versions, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, were released for the same consoles on 17 November 2017.

First announced in February 2016, Sun and Moon were released worldwide on 18 November 2016, commemorating the franchise's 20th anniversary. They are the first installments in the seventh generation of the Pokémon video game series. They want new players to understand the basic concept of the game, especially the younger kids that are playing this game for the first time in their gaming life.Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon are 2016 role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. Gamefreak wants to bring new players in, that's why we have the tutorial and introduction in the game. I'm pretty disappointed with some of the reviews here, because some of the guys just don't understand. I have the new 3DS XL, and the game runs fine. For those that are suffering from long loading time and lag, you guys are playing the game on the old 3DS. The gameplay is still the same, they didn't change much with the core element in the game. The graphics are a bit better than the previous 3DS Pokemon games. I think this game in my opinion is great for newcomers.

The introduction is a bit slow, especially for the hardcore pokemon fans.
