Well over 800 Pokémon exist at this point, and the number is much closer to 1,000 once you start accounting for individual Pokémon with multiple forms, Mega Evolutions, and regional variants. And your Pokédex, which actually has a talking Pokémon living in it this time around, is always dropping hints and showing you clear objective markers at every step of the way.īut the biggest and most welcome change is in the battle system. NPCs throw piles of money and items at you, ensuring that you won’t want for much of anything as you explore the new Alola region. You get the Experience Share item very early, and it still boosts your entire team’s experience simultaneously to ease the work of grinding and of introducing new, under-leveled monsters to your team. Sun and Moon probably have the easiest learning curve of any Pokémon game ever, and that’s including X and Y.
