Sun/Moon Demo Discussion
This thread is only for discussion of what you and others have personally experienced in the Sun and Moon demo ONLY. Any information related to Pokemon Sun and Moon that cannot be experienced or found in the demo must remain in the spoiler thread.
Welcome to Gen 7! The Pokemon Sun and Moon demo is now available on the 3DS eShop. Use this thread to talk about what you experienced playing through the demo, or what other people have experienced. You don't need to use spoiler tags in here for content that is freely available to access within the demo, start to finish. This was a requested thread, even from some of our members who are avoiding spoilers in general. Please keep in mind forum-wide spoiler rules are still in place until the release in a month from today (ie. no avatars, sigs, etc allowed still). As noted above, it cannot be stressed enough, please keep anything related to Sun and Moon that isn't present in the demo within the spoiler thread. And no, that doesn't mean datamined information is technically allowed. Keep that in the spoiler thread, too. Any offending comments will be removed, moved to the spoiler thread, or edited (The No Fun Police strikes again!). And please keep demo discussion within this or the Sun and Mood thread, for the time being as well. Thank you! SO GO, HAVE AT IT, DISCUSS.

First impression:
Starbucks? In MY Pokemon Centers? It's more likely than you think! Pokemon sure is getting a bit too realistic. |

Nothing kills the hype of finally finding the Shiny Stone you needed to evolve your roselia in Diamond quite like watching the kid next to me trigger Ash-Greninja against the Totem Dragon-Thing whose name I can't remember. I'm officially three generations behind... *Cries*
On a much... odder note: why the heck does summon rockruffs as it's allies? The thing has two prevos, it doesn't need to rely on rockpuppers! |

So I just found out, and I guess other people already knew this, that the initial reports of the demo being short and not much to do are wrong. The closer to release, more areas and features open up on certain days that let you do a little more bit by bit. I think it's like once a week.
Interesting. |

Get this Ash-Greninja bullshit out of my goddamn video games and keep it to the trash anime where it belongs.

Dammit guys. I'm really trying to be inclusive here. I'm editing your comments for future folks coming into the thread.
Please, it's really not that hard. |

I appreciate your hard work.
Not sure how I feel about Ash-Greninja. I didn't want it to be a "thing" but apparently it's a thing now. It seems very silly and non-canon, but here we are. |

Gah, sorry about that. >_< I've been flipping back and forth between this and the threads where spoilers are allowed, obviously got mixed up at one point.

Well i find it nice because i never got the Grninja in my previous game so it's nice to get a decent water type from the get/go though it seems to be a higher level than i was expecting.

For me the weirdest thing about Ash-Greninja is that it pseudo makes Ash canon in the games? At least, that's the impression I get. And I don't know how I feel about that. I don't like the idea of Ash-Greninja, but I understand it's huge in Japan with the kids there, and Ash-Greninja alone could move a lot of units over there.
If anyone wants the reward list, it's here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokeMoonSun..._demo_to_game/ Please be aware at the time of sharing this there are no spoilers in the thread, but the subreddit itself is full of them. |

Problem with that is that it's Pokémon and that name along guarantees cash money

Ash-Greninja may have been planned all along, but it's also pure fanservice, as Greninja hold the #1 spot for most popular Pokemon, and Ash-Greninja was like some sort of messiah for the anime. |

I so wish they had just named it something else. Bonded Greninja or some shit would have been so much more acceptable imo

I like the demo, but two things just irk me to no end:
The Slowpoke Barrier that has gaps in it clearly wide enough to walk through, ignoring the fact that you could easily just step over the things, but nooooope, invisible wall in spaces wider than the protagonist, which brings me to my next point: Why the hell am I only allowed to play as a dude? And even then why am I not allowed access to at least a limited array from like the clothing shop? And whatever the hell that food thing is Hau was on about, give me one. And Let me catch a Rockruff already, I'm going to name it Moon Moon because I'm getting Moon and I'm a memelord.

Also, in case you missed it, this apparently isn't all there is to the demo. For the time being, there are some extra little "side quests" you can do in the demo after the video plays when you complete the "story" part, that unlock some minor items like Nuggets, etc. that will transfer to the full game. Also, someone made a rough map of the places in the demo that have events happen on specific days leading up to the game's release based on in-game dialogue. So there are other things to do in the demo past the "story" part that will carry over to the game's release, but from what I've read what we got today was the meat of the demo and everything that comes next is just a cherry on top. |

First impressions, as I go along.
The music is nice. Really grooving it. My name is Sun? The fuck? And mystery sender person oooh creepy Also, apparently my Water-type Pokemon loves the heat. Nice graphics on the street. As greeting, you say the region's name. Just imagine if in RGBY you greeted everyone with "Kanto!" Speaking of Kanto, looks like I'm from Kanto. And there's bureaucracy. Yay? D pad does not movement. Do not like. Really fucking me up. Some masochist wants a Water-type to attack him Wild Hau Appeared! He's... someone. Actual dialog options? Wut? Though I don't think it affected anything. This Hau guy seems a little too excited about just meeting me. This guy has ADHD on meth Wild Step Up characters appeared! And the music's pretty jamming. Makes me wanna play Jet Set Radio Future. Team Skull characters are apparently hard. A bit much to share with someone you just met unless you're at a bathhouse Well, at least they have better dance moves and better music than pop has in quite awhile. They wanna battle me? They're gonna have a bad time. First they tell me they're hard, now a bones pun. I think these guys are making a really ineffective pass at me. ANOTHER BONE PUN And now they're gonna tell their big sis... awkward... It's Hau'oli City. Maybe because of Hau? I talked to a gate and it told me to go to the Pokemon Center First a Starbucks on every corner and now they're in PokeCenters, too So far, that's really... er... something |

I agree the music was engaging. Im pretty impressed by the whole thing. It seems very polished this time around. Dare i say its the biggest overhaul in the series between two generations.
The ui was great. Pretty intuitive. Im loving the "off brand" "mini games" that seem to be added to the main series (like pokemon snap) im fairly excited to rediscover the new 151 guys as well

Maholo[sp?] Trail spoiler:
Spoiler: show Well okay then! O_o Done a little more exploration of the "post-Story" demo. Went back to Ten Carat Hill and did both of the challenges there. Then the demo behaved stupidly (said I didn't need to leave yet, even though my Greninja is at 17 health and I've already caught Pokémon and fought all the trainers), so I manually left (made the escort take me back), went to the Pokémon Center, and healed up Greninja. Then I headed south and made a few new discoveries, including the girl who takes you to Maholo Trail to help you bond better with your Pokémon. Spoiler: show Something I'm a little sad to see absent from the demo but oh well is: Spoiler: show And speaking of waiting, just a friendly heads up -- due to some IRL ongoings, I will likely not be able to play the games until after December 4. It's still not for certain and I still will be buying the games on November 18. I just won't be able to play them until after December 4, is all. We'll see.

In this case, I want to think that Game Freak, like the rest of us, like the Ash-Greninja.

It's level 42, we can't go past level 37, and we got the type disadvantage. Lemme guess- Night Slash just failed to KO, triggered Static, then it went for Electro Ball?
