If you, like most other people on the planet,
are pretty much done with Pokémon GO,
and are looking for something to fill the
pocket monster-sized hole in your life, it's
time to pick up a copy of Pokémon Sun or
Moon.
This latest generation of Pokémon games
– which, by the way, is celebrating its 20th
birthday this year – takes you to the immersive island paradise
of Alola. A region comprised of four islands, Alola is also home
to more new Pokémon than you can count, and it's time to
catch 'em all once again.
A refreshing take on the franchise, Pokémon Sun and Moon
have a bunch of new features including Z-Moves (more powerful
moves that can be used once per battle), the return of Pokémon
Snap (in the form of the Poké Finder), and even a new way
to look at old Pokémon – Alolan Forms. Some old favourites
have gotten a makeover in light of the Alolan climate, giving
Exeggutor an extra-long neck and Dugtrio a nice mop of hair.
A personal favourite of these new additions is, however,
the incorporation of a Rotom into your Pokedex. He's like the
Microsoft Office Assistant you never knew you needed in a
Pokémon game. Go jump back into your childhood.

It's a funny thing, ambition. It
can take one to sublime heights
or harrowing depths. Sometimes
they are one and the same.
