Audio:
I really enjoy the sound track to the game. It's original and clearly a lot of thought was put into it.
Visuals:
Easily the best looking game of the series. They abandoned that 2D over the top style game for a sleeker 3D look and it's amazing.
Game Play:
Your same old Pokemon game. Z moves were an interesting addiction to spice things up. I like how they replaced HMs and instead gave you access to Pokemon capable of the ability (Charizard for flying, Lapras for surf).
Other:
Gym battles are replaced with Trials and Guardian Challenges, Which is a refreshing and original take on things. HMs, as mentioned before, were removed as well and it makes for a bit more faster game play. The story is very boring and there isn't as much open world exploring as there was in previous Pokemon games, It's really point A to point B in a small area with not a lot of room for Pokemon encounters or trainer battles. If you are stuck on a trial challenge, You are gonna end up grinding out a few levels before moving past it. Lack of original Pokemon is disappointing, They recycled a good 70% or more of Pokemon in the game from past generations. They are getting a bit annoying with all the tasks you have to do to evolve a Pokemon (has to be traded with a certain item, has to be leveled up at night or day or in a certain area), I say cut that down and stop making it so annoyingly tedious to simply evolve them.
Overall: 9/10
There's certain issues I have but for the most part, I love Pokemon Sun and I think it's the best entry to the series since Ruby/Sapphire.
