I am doing playthroughs of every main series Pokémon game (that is, I'm choosing one out of the pairs or trios of games and playing that one) and recording what happens.

So far I have 2 badges and have had 1 blackout/whiteout/game over.

1/29/17: This game is pretty hard so far... I have to do a lot of grinding to keep up, because of the low level of wild/trainer Pokémon and the high level of gym Pokémon. My first blackout was while fighting Brock. After losing, I leveled up Elvis (Nidoran ♂) up one more level and of course then it learned a move supereffective against Rock-type. I defeated Brock's Geodude pretty quickly and was close to defeating Onix when suddenly Onix used Bide and OHKO'd Elvis. I had two other Pokémon: a Pikachu whose only attacking moves did no damage against Onix, and a Lv.4 Nidoran ♀, Mercury. I sent out Mercury and slowly got rid of the little HP Onix had left. It instantly shot up 4 levels.

I don't exactly have a log or much data for Moon because I decided to do this little challenge after I beat Moon...

• Final Time: about 60 hours (I didn't check the time)
• I had no blackouts/whiteouts/game overs.
• Difficulty: 8/10 Although I had no blackouts, there were a lot of tough times and close calls. Particularly the fight against Totem Lurantis (Screw you, Castform!), Hala and Kahili on the Elite Four, and my closest call: Kukui (It ended with both of our Snorlaxes being out only Pokémon left and I barely beat it without fainting myself.)
• My overall rating: 9.3/10
  • Region: 9/10 Alola is undoubtedly the most beautiful region I've seen. Really, the only thing that sets it from a 10 is some of the weird landscape on Ula'ula, particularly the desert next to a snowy mountain.
  • Plot: 10/10 Sun and Moon is unique for me because it had a bunch of likable, interesting characters, and an excellent plot that hooked me. I can't really point out any flaws in the plot.
  • New Pokémon Design: 9/10 Most of the Pokémon are really, really well designed. Really the only ones I didn't like were the monkeys and Bruxish.
  • Gameplay: 9/10 This game is so unbelievably polished: a ton of awesome new features and the removal of things that I didn't like (HMs and the PC menus, for example). The only thing that keeps the gameplay from a perfect 10 is the long tutorial lasting most of the first quarter of the game.
