This review contains spoilers

After being a hater of this game for a while, I decided to finally finish it.

If I could describe this game with one sentence it would "wasted potential". The game is actually really good, but it has a lot of flaws that make me think "what if they put a little bit more love into this game?".

Gameplay is not balanced at all around EXP Share, making the game extremely easy from start to finish. I'm not really looking for Pokémon games to have unforgiving difficulty or anything like that, but I think Sun & Moon is way more balanced around the item.

The setting is pretty unimpressive, most cities are kinda boring, but the gyms and elite 4 arenas all look amazing (in 3D!!!!!!!).

Now for the story, I will try not to spoil too much but SPOILER WARNING anyway.

Now, the story.... oh the story. It's a 10/10 story that becomes a 6/10 simply because THERE'S JUST SO MANY QUESTIONS UNANSWERED. The villain team is one of the best in the story of Pokemon, the villain is a maniac, but there was so much potential for character development and they were like "lol no". I wanted to know more about the King, the War, Lysandre, the professor, the professor aides (all the "defenders of Kalos" stuff), etc. But well, there was simply not enough...

Game is pretty good anyway, but it could be the best pokemon ever made. If only we had a Pokemon Z...
