I'm forbidden from discussing details of the scene, but it seems to drop a lot of mysterious hints at a larger plot than 'become a Pokemon Master'.
POKEMON SUN AND MOON FREE ONLINE GAMES TO PLAY SERIES
So the game opens of course with the typical spiel and gender choice from this game's Professor, for instance, but it also opens with a full-on cutscene that feels unlike anything the Pokemon series has ever really attempted before. The theme for my time with Pokemon Sun & Moon is familiar but not. With that noted, here's my headline takeaway from two hours with Pokemon Sun & Moon: This entry has grabbed me more thoroughly in its opening hours than any other Pokemon game in years. This was true for Black/White, X/Y, and even the remakes of Gold/Silver and Ruby/Sapphire, games I originally loved. I completed the following two generations and the remake of Red, but by the time we reached Black & White I fell into what's been a rut for several games now: Buy them, enjoy around the first half of the game, lose interest. I played it religiously, and the same was true for Gold and Silver, my favourite entry in the series. It was a holiday present (to keep me quiet, no doubt). Whenever I'm covering a series with such an enormous lineage I feel the need to establish where I stand with it, so: I remember getting my copy of Pokemon Blue vividly.
"This entry has grabbed me more thoroughly in its opening hours than any other Pokemon game in years." This is what Pokemon is really all about. I lived and breathed Pokemon Go for a little while, producing page after page here on the site - but a little time with Pokemon Sun & Moon was a sharp reminder and wake-up call. That's how it's captured such a large audience. Pokemon Go is basic, but it's also decent. That's the future of Pokemon apps and bite-sized games for a ludicrously broad audience, its core concepts stripped down to the bones. With the wild success of Pokemon Go, it'd be easy to think. This might be the Pokemon game to properly drag me back into the fold.
