A couple of weeks ago, I picked up Pokémon Sun again and started playing where I left off in early December. While most of my friends with iOS devices are obsessed with Pokémon GO, I prefer the series’ traditional games for Nintendo consoles, and I find the latest generation of Pokémon games to be excellent evolutions (no pun intended) of the decade-long franchise. Whether you’ve been playing Pokémon since Generation 1 (raises hand) or if you’re new to the series, Sun and Moon succeed in refreshing old gameplay elements and introducing brand new ideas and mechanics.
What a lot of people don’t know is that Pokémon is a surprisingly deep RPG. And by deep, I mean you’ll need a guide or some serious online resources to understand advance topics such as competitive battle teams, EV training, Pokémon natures and abilities, breeding, and more. There is an entire meta-game to Pokémon that is well hidden from the main storyline, but which you can spend years fiddling with and perfecting. And, of course, your trusted companion for collecting Pokémon and keeping an eye on evolutions is the Pokédex.
