Your childhood favorite game hit the market in mid November.

The next Pokemon game is coming up on November 18th, the question is if Pokemon will sell better thanks to Pokemon Go or will Pokemon still be falling in sales. This is the first question I have to ask when talking about Pokemon, I know I’ll be getting the newest Pokemon games because I have never failed to beat any Pokemon game. The newest Pokemon game is based on the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean, with many new Pokemon taking larger amounts of inspiration from the animals on the Islands.

The most famous Pokemon to come from Sun and Moon is the Alola form of Exeggutor for the elongated neck that resembles the trunk of a palm tree. The fan base laugh at the design for the length of the neck, but the design is based on a coconut tree that are famous in Hawaii for falling coconuts killing people by striking the top of the skull causing heavy brain damage and even death. This coconut killing is a dangerous ability.

Pokemon Sun and Moon have a lot of potential to make a new generation love Pokemon like I did when I was a young child. I remember that feeling when finding new Pokemon in blue and red, my little mind trying to choose the right attacks in a fight to win out. I always won with earthquake, that was fun when earthquake alone was a strategy. I have a hope that the new Pokemon games will hold the same fun for me as the past 15 years of my game playing will gave me. I want to see the games go the same route as the last few games with the new ways of play. The new friendship attacks are cool in my mind, the idea of build a bond with your Pokemon is something that I’ve done in every game. I hope that many people play more Pokemon games with us of an older generation, to share a common love of a simple game.
