Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon (USUM) finally came out on Friday. I was so pumped for it that, immediately after class, I hopped onto the bus and went to the mall to get my own copy.

For those unfamiliar, Pokemon USUM is set in Alola, which is based heavily on Hawaii. The creators, Game Freaks, actually researched into the game by visiting Hawaii on multiple occassions.

Though they did research, I feel like only the “tourist” version of Hawaii was researched/included into these games. While I don’t find this surprising, since it is Pokemon and Alola is its own region in this verse, it would’ve been very interesting if they did manage to fit that in and show that not all of “Alola” is paradise.

The new game is really fun so far; I had to set it down so I could do my blog posts for the week. I recommend it!
