"Pokemon Dream: Sun and Moon" review: more fun, the key is Chinese

For the first time ever, Pokemon Dream: Sun and Moon has added an official Chinese version.

As the twentieth anniversary orthodox sequel of the "Pokemon Dream" series, "Pokemon Dream: Sun and Moon" has attracted the attention of many "Pokemon Dream" fans from the beginning of the promotion to the current sale. Among them, there are a large number of domestic "Pokemon" players. When domestic players are ready to use the old ways to find ways to solve the Chinese problem of the new game, the news that Pokemon: Sun and Moon comes with Chinese is a blessing from heaven.

There is no doubt that this is a good thing for Nintendo and domestic players.

But with this comes the unease of players about the quality of official Sinicization. After all, this is the first official Sinicization of the "Treasure Dream" series, and it is not yet known whether it can achieve the degree of "smooth sentences and understanding of the meaning".

But as far as I can see from my current experience, the Chinese text of "Pokemon Dream: Sun and Moon" does not have a big mistake. Character dialogue is also consistent with the character's identity, career setting. However, there are still some difficult to understand sentences, such as in the fight with children, often see "very happy to lose", "no need to play with Pokemon" such illogical words.

However, it doesn't hurt that these minor flaws don't prevent players from experiencing the gameplay content of Pokemon: Sun and Moon. In other words, under the excellent official Chinese level, the player's awareness of the entire game and the sense of inclusion have been further improved.

The content of "Pokemon Dream: Sun and Moon" deserves to be escorted by such a high quality Chinese level.

First of all, the main mission of Pokemon: Sun and Moon is finally no longer the traditional collection, training of Pokemon, and then defeating the various regional dojo to obtain badges. In this game, the Dokan and Dokan battles are eliminated and replaced with a "Parade of Islands" that fits the game's setting - the Arora Islands.

In the game, the Arora Islands are a holiday destination similar to the Hawaiian Islands. The unique geographical environment and the natural features that have not been over-exploited make the types and capabilities of Pokemon here significantly different from other cities. For example, we are familiar with Meow Meow and smelly mud, "Arora version" has a clear difference in appearance from other cities; Also evolved from Pikachu into Lei Qiu, the "Arora form" Lei Qiu in addition to belonging to the "electric system", also has the ability of "super power system".

The purpose of the "Island Tour" is to allow players to travel around the islands with Pokemon, challenging the "island king" and the captain on each island, so as to obtain the favor of the "island God beast". At first glance, this is no different from challenging the dojo, but the completion of the "island tour" task is not only a way to fight. Many island captains have strong personalities, and the types of tasks they give are varied.

In addition, after challenging the "King of the island" successfully, the game will obtain exclusive items "Z pure crystal". Different from the badge is just a simple customs clearance voucher, "Z pure crystal" can effectively enhance the fighting ability of Pokemon. The "Z pure crystal" in the game has different attributes, and the Pokemon wearing "Z pure crystal" can strengthen the skills of the corresponding attributes into the "Z move" with ultra-high damage, which can cause a kill effect after use.

There are limits to such a powerful skill -- it can only be used once per game. At the same time, the player also needs to perform a "battle dance" when directing Pokemon to use the "Z move". Although it is very interesting at the beginning of contact, due to its animation time is too long and cannot be skipped, in order to save time, "whether to use the Z move" still needs to be analyzed.

Although the "Z pure crystal" is very strong, it is not the purpose of our "island tour" (at least not in the plot). Growing and gaining the recognition of the "God beast" is the key to travel. Growing up with the protagonist, there is the heroine of this work - Liliai. Throughout the entire drama, Liliai can be said to be one of the most significant inner growth and change of the character. As a dark line in the plot of the game, Liliai's mental journey can be said to run through the whole game, but also promote the continuous development of the plot, so as to reach a climax.

In addition to the exciting story and the non-colorful Arora Islands, Pokemon: Sun and Moon has been improved and optimized throughout the game system. Its magnitude is far greater than the previous "Pokemon". The first is in the attribute restraint, the player no longer need to work hard or take out a small book to write down the restraint relationship between them. In this game, as long as you have encountered a certain kind of Pokemon before, and then encounter the same Pokemon to fight, there will be clear prompts below the move "no effect", "bad effect", "effective" and "excellent effect". This saves the time for players to familiarize themselves with Pokemon and improves the overall fluency of the game.

Also improved is the replacement of the previous Esoteric machine system with a riding system. Pokemon for riding is stored separately in the "Riding bar" and no longer occupies the Pokemon seat for fighting. Similarly, players no longer need to separately cultivate Pokemon with esoterica skills. Obstacles on the road no longer need to be handled by Pokemon alone, and can be solved by riding Pokemon. This reduces some unnecessary operations and improves the consistency and smoothness of the game.

In addition, the game has also added a shooting function. Players can trigger the camera function at certain locations, and after entering the camera interface, they can take photos of the surrounding Pokemon. Photos also gain likes and popularity, which can be used to further unlock camera features. The addition of this feature is good news for the Landscape Party.

However, the main character's smile and paralysis face is really dramatic, especially in some plot CG; Some of the game in the game and dropped frames, but also make the whole game experience decreased.

But these are some of the small problems that many games have, and do not prevent Pokemon: Sun and Moon from becoming a good game. Moreover, such large-scale changes can be made on the basis of inheriting the original gameplay of the "Treasure dream" series, and this kind of courage and action power is really valuable.

Coupled with the launch of the first official Chinese language, the appeal of Pokemon Dream: Sun and Moon to domestic players has been further amplified.

There seems to be no reason to stop us from getting to know this familiar and strange friend again, and to stop us from swimming in the world of Pokemon with other Pokemon players.

It's time to act!
