Pokemon Sun & Moon Review (Patreon)

Alola, Allies! As much as it would have benefited us for this review to go up LAST YEAR, there is a strange comfort in posting it just days before the end of our first year as Easy Allies. Pokemon played a big part in my first EZA year. I went from knowing very little to finishing the first and latest games in the franchise. Catching these little buggers was nowhere on my gaming radar, and now the prospect of this game on Switch is getting me incredibly hyped. I think the greatest thing Sun & Moon has going for it, as a newcomer to Pokemon, is depth. Those of you still charging up a 3DS each day can discover new things in this game over an incredible amount of time, a duration even rivaling the amazing games we've played so far in 2017. I'm frankly exhausted by it. Especially since I might start it all over on another console very soon. So I'm going to step away from Pokemon for a bit, but it's been very good to me, and I'm happy to post a review that reflects my many months of joyfully exploring this new world. Thank you for creating an environment where I can slowly absorb a game (every now and then) that deserves a review, but in due time. I'll also be taking a break from writing reviews for the foreseeable future, focusing on other people's reviews and our special features. I will still play Pokemon Go at Disneyland and other tourist spots, and there's plenty of shows and movies to get caught up on in the meantime. Until next time, happy hunting!
