countered the Pokémon you are fighting .
There are a few ways a trainer can encounter a Pokémon in Sun and Moon . Of course , the typical way is in the classic long grass . But there ' s also Wonder Trade which trades with another trainer from around the world , GTS trade where you can either request or seek Pokémon from other players and , last but not least , Pokémon QR . This lets you use the camera on your Nintendo 3DS to scan Pokémon from another player ' s game for your Pokédex . The new battle mechanics that allows me to know move effectiveness motivated
me to keep trading and scanning QR codes . QR codes may be highly useful to those who want catch ' em all , especially those exclusive to either Sun or Moon .
There ' s the Poké Pelago , the camera used to take snapshots of Pokémon in the wild , PvP , breeding , mounts and so much more to see in the new games .
After defeating a Kahuna to an island you receive a Pokémon mount . Mounts usually allow you to reach other places on the island that you weren ' t able to explore before originally arriving at an island . You will have mounts like Taurus who
can break though big rocks , Lapras to help you swim on water , Stoutland who is useful for sniffing out berries and herbs , Charizard who can fly anywhere you have previously been and other Pokémon who you can call for help during your travels .
Pokémon Sun and Moon are arguably one of the best Pokémon games in the series . It has made some of the most remarkable changes that streamlines gameplay and encourages trade among friends .
Pokémon Sun and Moon is packed with activities to keep you entertained . Although
the story wasn ' t impressive , the fun gameplay makes up for that lack of lustre . If Pokémon continue to make improvements I can foresee another , future installment being the revolutionary Pokémon game that will captivate us all .
