I’ve played through them both and effectively marathoned Sun in the weekend it came out. I had not been so invested in a Pokemon game before, and I’ve been playing Pokemon since Blue. Alola was a fantastic region despite some short comings, and the new Pokemon were great.
As amazing as the story was on the first playthrough, and as long as the opening is, I find it harder to replay the games than previous entries, but that’s far from a bad thing.
Fantastic entries into the series, and an amazing place for people to start if they haven’t tried Pokemon before.
