>Pokemon Sun and Moon are the first games in twenty years

Agreed especially on the items part. Also made me keep status-inflicting moves more than usual

if you dont fight all the trainers, they can be hard. First run was safe and I beat up everyone I could find to over level the totems.

On my second run I wanted just to speed though as fast as possible, but the mimikyu and the grass totem(chose poplio) gave me a little trouble.

That fucked me up badly when it called Castform

I'll agree it was little bit more challenging than past games with the totem pokemon and all involved. I breezed through most of the game but Prof Kukui actually managed to fuck up my team. Might've been the hardest champion in recent memory.

>hahaha it's just a castform what could it do

>nothing will give you the same challenge as the initial hurdle to overcome Brock in gen 1

still have flashbacks to my shitty party getting assblasted by onix in pokemon yellow

i fucking hate this synthesis bitch. My Torracat couldn't OHKO it so I had to rely a lot on Magnemite's status moves and Charge beam

The only time I used battle items was during the battle with Red. I was about 20 levels below him and just wanted to get to the damn tree, so I cheesed it with Marowak setting up on Pikachu.

It's really challenging as long as you don't overlevel and just battle every trainer in sight, i actually abused the X items to be able to bullshit my way through many trials, i still wiped at Wishiwashi, i made the error of killing the helper wishiwashi which made him summon a alomomola that help it one shot everthing in my team.

I fought all the trainers during my first run an kept struggling (But my team all had shit defense)
