The Pokémon games to entertain trainers after they've become the Pokémon Champion, and Sun & Moon is no different. These games introduce new and interesting༒ mechanics that can make you love the games even more, and spend more time with your Pokes.
But sadly, Game Freak is known for introducing and taking away mechanics that are either hit or miss, so it's really easy to become disappointed after experiencing some aspects of the post game. Some of the entrie✤s in this list are things that you can do before beating the game, but it's easi🐈er to do them after becoming the champion.
10 🦩 🃏 The Good: The Battle Tree
The battle tree is a facility where you can battle against computer-controlled trainers. These trainers carry Pokémon with competitive stats and movesets, and their team compositions are often very well-balanced. This facility offers three🐟 different types of ♍challenges: Single Battle, Double Battle, and Multi Battle.
The wide pool of Pokémon that can be selected, and the high variety of trainers, that includes famous characters🎉 from previous games, makes the Battle Tree a very nice place to hone your skills. And since every game you win rewards you with BP, you can buy very powerful and useful items to🌊 use on your Pokes.
9 𝓀 The Bad: The Battle Tree...
Now that we've told you why the Battle Tree is an excellent place to test your might, we'll also tell you why it isn't enough. As said before, the Battle Tree only offers you thre🐽e battle modes, and while the pool of available Pokémon is huge and there are many trainers waiting to battle you, it doesn't offer anything else.
X & Y had the Battle Maison, Black & White 2 had the Pokémon Wo🦩rld Tournament, and the generation before that had the Brain F🍨rontier. Every one of these battle facilities had more battle modes and more interesting trainers to play against, which makes the Battle Tree pale by comparison.
8 🍎 😼 The Good: The Battle Royal Dome
Akala Island is home to the Battle Royale, which is a battle facility that lets you face against other 3 tra𒆙iners at the same time. These kind of battles are really fun to play, as you rarely have any control over the situation. Most of the battles are a random-fest where you can either come out unscathed, or be ganked by everyone else.
The game offers the player 4 di🍃fferent difficulties which can be unlocked in order🍸, and each one of them is harder than the previous one. The game is played until a trainer's Pokémon are all knocked out. In the Master Rank, there's a chance that a mystery trainer will join the battle.
7 🅠 The Bad: The Festival Plaza 🔯
The Festival Plaza is without a doubt, the worst online system of the entire Pokémon games. Some might say that the DS games had a worse online system, and while that is true, the DS' onl🌟ine capabilities weren't exactly good.
The online system before the Festival Plaza, the Player Search System, is superior in every way. It allowed pl꧅ayers to stay☂ connected to the online system without restricting them from playing the game, and it is much less convoluted and easier to navigate. The Festival Plaza, while having some nice shops and mini-games, it's difficult to navigate and the player has to stay in the plaza to use the online features.
6 🐠 The Good: A Second Cosmog
The Sun & Moon games have a very well-known secret that lets you have an additional flagship legendary. This secret allows you to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:obtain a Cosmog, which you can then evolve into a Solgaleo or Lunala, trade it to a friend with an oppo🍨site Pokémon version so he can evolve it into the Legendary Poke you want, or just♎ use it to trade it for another rare Pokémon.
To catch this extra Cosmog, you just have to unlo༒ck the dimensional rift at the end of the Altar of the Sunne (Pokémon Sun) or Moone (Pokémon Moon). If you have Solgaleo in your team, you need to go to the portal at night, and if you have Lunala, at night. After💜 crossing the portal, go to the Lake of the Sunne or Moone, watch a cutscene, and then claim your new nebby.
5 The Bad: The U💟ltra Beast Mission
After you've beat꧂en the Pokémon Sun & Moon games, you'll have access to a new short mission that will put you on a journey around Alola to defeat and catch Ultra Beasts. The story is short and reintroduces some known characters, and finding and catching the Ultra Beast is really ea♏sy.
The problem with that mission is that the story is really bland, and it totally feels like the developers didn't really care about polishing it. If you compare the Ultra Beast Mission against the Delta Episode of the ORAS games, then you'll realize how disaꩵppointing it is, as the Delta Episode had better dialogue, better developed characters and prettier looking cutscenes.
4 The Good: Title Defend 🌟 ꩵ
If there's one thing that the Sun & Moon games doe⛎s better than previous games, i🧸s making you feel like a true Pokémon Champion. After you've defeated the Elite 4 and beaten the game, you will unlock a new game mechanic that lets you defend your Champion Title.
To defend your title, you just need to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:beat the Elite 4 once more, and after doing so, you will then walk to the Champion's room, 🔥where a challenger wil🐠l appear. There are many interesting Challengers ready to contest your title, and their Pokémon are stronger than those of the Elite 4.
3 𒉰 The Bad: World Exploration ♓
In the ORAS games, Hoenn felt like a vast region with different ecosystems and scenarios to look at, it also had a nice S🐬oaring system that let players fly atop a Latios or a Latios so they could explore the region as they liked. But then comes Alola, which for some reason 🅰feels very small and tight.
Of course, there are a lot of things to look at in Alola, which makes the game feel mo𒀰re alive, but♑ when you're on the wild exploring, it feels as if you're walking on rails from one point to another. And when you beat the game you just unlock a small region in Poni Island, which is really small and doesn't offer anything else other than the Battle Tree.
2 𒀰 The Good: ꦍThe Guardian Deities
The Guardian Deities are 4 powerful Pokémon that live on each of the 4 main island of Alol❀a, and you can only face them after defeating the Elite 4. You automatically face Tapu Koko after beating the game for the first time, but to battle the rest of them you'll need to explore the rest of the islands.
You'll find Tapu Fini on Poni Island, Tapu Bulu on Ula'ula Island, and Tapu Lele on Akala Island. Their battles are really interesting and visually beautiful, but it feels weird to catch Pokémon t﷽hat serve as Deities to the denizens of 𓄧the Alola Islands.
1 🌌 The Bad:♑ Poni Grove
The main reason why Poni Island felt so small during the main game, is that you unlock the rest of the island once you've become the Pokémon Champion. After you've beaten the game, you can then enter the Poni Grove. This section of the island lets you battle stronܫger Pokémon and new train💫ers, find some Zygarde Cells and that's it. Of course, you find the Battle Tree at the end of this section of the island, but that's the only thing that's really worth the effort.
