Pokémon Ultra Moon - Nintendo 3DS (World Edition)

Just as expected

Before there was Sword and Shield, and before there was a Nintendo Switch, there was Alola (Ultra Sun/Moon). It follows the same formula since the first generation: you recently moved into a new town, you get attacked in the first grassy area where you are saved by and meet the starter pokemon you soon after choose as your partner, you fight your rival, you go on errands, you go to Pokémon gyms, you fight against the story villains along the way, and it all culminates in a final battle for becoming the new champion of the region.There have been changes made which improve the game play and make it enjoyable to play. For example, you no longer have to grind as much as in previous games and you no longer have to worry about only being able to teach moves once (TMs) or moves that are permanent (HMs); more specifically, moves needed to explore the world such as Surf or Fly are used by Poké Rides and not by Pokémon in your party. The cut scenes are drawn out at times, but the story pays off and it is highly replayable. It has a new feature, Ultra Wormholes (only in Ultra Sun/Moon not in the 'regular' Sun/Moon), which allows you to travel to other dimensions and catch some Pokémon from other generations, as well as legendaries such as: Mewtwo, Articuno, Raikou, Palkia, and Kyogre (depending on your game version).Pokémon Sun and Moon, while enjoyable, felt incomplete story-wise. It introduced Ultra Beasts at the end of the game and some areas where empty, "under construction" according to game dialogue. These areas are no longer empty in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and it does feel like a different game, as the storyline is also expanded; the post game is also substantial and is worth playing to the end. There are a couple of features that are not great, Battle Tree and Battle Royal, but they are not worth mentioning as they don't affect the overall experience of the game.In summary, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Moon are great games, the version you pick depends on the version exclusives that you can look up online. The world and story have been expanded and it really captures the magic from the first generations with the added benefits of improved gameplay, for example less need to grind for levels for all your party and access to better Pokémon early on in the game (I didn't mention it but you can encounter good Pokémon, in the first island you can catch a pikachu, snorlax, hawlucha, or even a bagon). It is a great game for anyone who enjoys the Pokémon franchise.

What's wrong with the world edition? Absolutely nothing. I think a lot of people are being xenophobic about the trivial "world edition" logo. The game itself is identical to the cartridges sold in US stores. I'd rather have a brand new cart and case with the world edition logo, than a crusty, beat up, pre owned version in a box without the logo

Finally completed the main line game collection* (the reason for the * is that I could get Pokemon green version).

The Pokémon Ultra Moon game arrived in excellent condition and came with its original box. My son loves playing it along with his other Pokémon games on his new 3DS.

so, it was exactly as it said it was. one of the first times i havn't had a problem with what came and shipping. but the thing is, because it's world edition it didn't work properly with my us system. it kept freezing and turning off at the same point in the game. i tried other games on the sytem and they all worked fine so i am 90% certain that the problem was i was using a game on my us system that was designed for systems from the middle east. other than that i had a fine purches and return prosess. only 4 star because it didn't work for me.

I bought this game for same day delivery before i read reviews. Didint realize it was a world wide version. I was super sketched by the different reviews claiming the game doesnt work for US made devices. Well as far as i can tell the game works fine in my US made 2ds. The game as far as i can tell is legit. The case is a toss up but to be honest i bought it for the game. I couldnt care less about the case. Im pretty happy with the purchase. I bought my next game from gamestop because i was so worried about the legitimacy and if the game would even work. It was $20 more than it is on amazon. So we'll see how that goes.

Son's birthday gift and he already beat it. Great price
