I really would have liked to be able to embark on a newgame+

That's why the past two generations, I've bought both games in the series. A big part of pokemon for me is replay value. I love playing the game over again, and trying out different teams in the storyline. It's nice to have one copy for archive and collecting, and another one for funplays (monotype runs, nuzlockes, speed runs)

I've considered it but at that point I'd rather just get a second hand 3ds and hack it. I'm not rewarding nintendo or GF for being complete jews.

Citra can run moon too but it's slow and the time of day is currently broken.

It more that I want to use end game pokemon right in the beginning without resorting to trading.

Pretty good point, I have to be pretty much done the fucking game to even get my hands on a alola sandshrew.

>new game+
Honestly, if this was the only post-game in a future game, I'd be happy. I've wanted this for ages.

I might wait till a family member gets a copy for christmas then hijack their game to save my mons and start anew.

Okay, suppose NG+ worked like this. Once the credits roll, a "New Game+" option shows up on the file screen. A few "are you sure you want to do this, man?" messages later, you start the game from the beginning, but...

Thing that stay the same:
>everything in your party/boxes/daycare/GTS
>Pokédex progress
>all items except for plot related key items
>Pelago stuff
>Battle Tree records/progress and BP
>wild Pokémon don't become stronger so there are safe places to grind weaker team members

Things that change:
>story progress is reset
>most of the tutorial is skipped since you know it all already to be honest they should already have this as an option
>levels of trainers are adjusted to compensate for starting a fully-trained team of six
>shops sell everything from the beginning
>get another copy of everything (starter, items, legendaries, gifts)
>there's more places to grind early on (think blissey base type shit) so if you want to switch up your team you can do it without weaker members becoming a liability

And once you beat the game again, you can go NG++, and then NG+++, and so on and so on, getting slightly more difficult each time.

>safe place to grind weaker mons
Does anyone actually do that? I thought you'd just turn exp on till they catch up and use whatever plaza bullshit/pelago to get their EV's.
