Pokemon Sun/Moon is probably the best Pokemon game yet. A significant part of that is that more than ever before, it’s breaking from the formula or at least obscuring the formula enough that it feels fresh. It’s modern, it’s got quality of life improvements out the wazoo, it’s got a persistent map. If only it could have had your buddies following you around the overworld, it could have definitively claimed the crown from HGSS (unused data suggests this feature was planned but frustratingly scrapped). Ah well.
