"Pokémon Sun and Moon" are role-playing video games developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company for the Nintendo 3DS. Released in November 2016, these games introduce players to the Alola region, inspired by Hawaii, featuring new Pokémon, regional variants, and a unique storyline that emphasizes exploration and adventure. In "Pokémon Sun and Moon," players take on the role of a young Trainer who embarks on a journey to become the Champion. The games feature a new battle mechanic called "Z-Moves," allowing Pokémon to unleash powerful attacks. Players can also participate in the Island Challenge, a series of trials instead of traditional Gym battles.
