MadCap's Game Reviews - "Pokemon Sun and Moon"

Okay, so...first and foremost, because I just have to get this out of the way. I don’t have to wear a stupid hat anymore!

...yes, that is something to celebrate. Shut your damn mou-anyway, Pokemon Sun and Moon. Yay!

Nintendo taking another stab at that wildly and hilariously successful franchise that has managed to stay relevant for over two decades with very little change. It’s really surprising, in all honesty. For a series that’s all about evolution (or, transformation to be more scientifically accurate concerning a fictional universe where clumps of garbage are apparently sentient - has anyone acknowledged that Pokemon is kind of weird yet?), the series hasn’t really changed much beyond the core concept of “find monsters, train monsters, fight monsters”. Of course, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, since Nintendo and Game Freak have shown that they really know how to change things up just enough to keep things from getting stale.

...nine times out of ten, anyway. Hoenn still has way too much water.
