it is just an updated version of sun but its great

i don't remember much but i think this was the one where you could give beans to your pokemon and that was hella fun

One of the last decent pokemon games


I STILL FUCKING LOVE ALOLAN SANDSLASH

Too similar to the first one, but all the additions made it actually fuller of life.

i thought it would be funny to just use my starter and got through most of the game that way.

Why did they fuck up the story like that but oh well, i love rotom dex

é o pokemon sun 1.5, mas ainda é bom pq sun é bom, e esse aqui ficou mais difícil q o sun, a luta do necrozma transformado deu mt trabalho, é um jogo mt bonito ( joguei no citra a 1440p rs) e divertido, e aqui acaba minha jornada nos pókemon de 3ds (demorou só quase 2 anos) kk

Honestly, this is probably my favourite pokemon game. I really did not think I would enjoy it as much as I did, but I just had so much fun playing it. I put around 75 hours in, which is by far the most I've put into a 3ds Pokemon game. The game is honestly pretty well balanced, with me wiping at least once every major story battle (I stopped using heals about half way through the story). Having every legendary available in the post game is also super nice.

very solid, underappreciated game. Definitely something that I would dislike a lot more on replay though (just like any pokemon game).

it's fine, it's still Pokemon so the core gameplay is still good but I have so many problems with this game. The constant yapping got so annoying so quickly, most Pokemon games have a slow start but the first hour or two of this game is literally just dialogue. I don't mind lots of dialogue in games as long as they're yapping about something interesting but the story of this game is not that good (apparently the original sun and moon had a better story and they ruined it in this version but I haven't played them so idk) and the characters are mostly bland and uninteresting. On top of the constant yapping there is constant handholding and the difficulty in this game is non-existent I only blacked out once throughout my entire playthrough and honestly I'm embarrassed that I died even that one time. The game is too long as well by the last 5-7 hours I was pretty sick of the game and just wanted to finish it. Despite how critical I am of it, Pokemon Ultra Sun is not a bad game, like I said before the gameplay is still good Pokemon gameplay and it has other positives too. I like Alola, the new Pokemon it introduces are great and the region itself is cool I like the tropical island vibes and while I personally didn't like the trials I know a lot of people do and I can respect them for going with something different here instead of just gyms again. The game just has a few annoying issues that bring it down but even with those it's still decent.

I actually really like these games. Again, it is still bad on replay like original sun and moon, however I think the improvements are very noticeable to the story and postgame to where I'd mark this game a full star ahead of the original cuts of the games.

Worse story than Sun and Moon, better everything else

Alola is a fun region but Z moves aren't it. Oddly enough my favourite mechanic was giving my pokemon beans to make them happy, healthy and strong. Solgaleo was a nice Legendary and the arc you go through to get them is very narratively fullfilling but they tried to change the formula and it missed most it's marks.

Minha história com esse jogo é trágica. Eu ODIEI ele a princípio e quando fui jogá-lo após alguns anos, tive uma experiência prazerosa. Alola é linda, pena que a GameFreak gaste tanto tempo em diálogos expositivos, em especial no começo do jogo.
Time final:

i mainly give this rating due to the fun i can have shinyhunting on the ultra space ride

Ruins a lot of characters that sun did really well but has a lot of good features added.

don't even remember the game existing

wish they didnt fuck up the story ): but everything else is a huge improvement from base sm

this game could be super fun and raw as fuck on a good console and if it actually looked good


My favorite personal pokemon game, its got everything it needs and then some. The hate this game gets online is insane, everytime i do a replay it never fails to make me happy.

an improvement in every way over the first. a harsher difficulty level, big story changes later on, unexpected twists and turns, a radically different post game and far more content to enjoy keep it fresh and different while it still sticks to a similar formula to the first. my personal favourite pokemon game

Pokemon USUM asks the brave question, "What if we made a 2nd version of a pokemon gen only make it worse this time", and boy howdy did they succeed.
