Pokémon GO gets you outside, bringing families together for virtual monster hunts, but for a deeper Pokémon experience, dive into the Nintendo 3DS titles Pokémon Sun and Moon.

The global phenomenon that is Pokémon GO has earned its success. Its primary appeal lies in its ability to encourage outdoor activity, fostering shared experiences between adults and children as they embark on virtual monster hunts.
As outdoor conditions become less favorable, the adventure can transition indoors (or even accompany you on visits to family). It’s worth remembering that before Pokémon GO, Pokémon originated as a franchise for Nintendo’s handheld consoles.
Pokémon Sun and Moon are distinct versions of the game, each featuring unique Pokémon to collect, and are exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS. Beyond the exclusive Pokémon, Sun and Moon offer different challenges and trials. While purchasing both versions might seem redundant, the relatively modest price point justifies the enriched gameplay experience.
Our experience with Pokémon Moon has been exceptionally engaging, even after multiple playthroughs. Moon stands out with its visually appealing cel-shaded graphics, more expansive environments, and an enhanced level of addictiveness. While it may not present the greatest challenge for experienced players, it provides considerable entertainment for both newcomers and long-time fans. This iteration captures the essence of what a Pokémon game should be.
