Sun and Moon were the first games of the seventh generation of Pokémon. They were also some of the most anticipated games in the Pokémon series as they made more than a few changes to the formula that we had all gotten used to.
The Island
The formula of going from gym to gym was something that we all loved but had been done to death at this point. Pokémon Sun and Moon changes things up by having an “island challenge” here you will take on various other Pokémon trainers, do challenges, quests and so on before fighting an extra tough foe. It feels very similar to what Pokémon games in the past have done, but it feels new enough that it is quite exciting and like you are on a Pokémon adventure for the first time. You will have to complete a number of trails and these include different mini games that you will have to do before you have an actual Pokémon battle.
The Best Region Yet
The Alola Region that you will be exploring is the richest and most fleshed out of any Pokémon game that I have played. This whole region feels like it is alive and there are very few places that are just empty space. The larger world that you have to explore keeps you on your toes and while you will be going out and looking for items and battles so that you can grind. You will also want to explore to see what other secrets this region has.
What About The Pokémon?
Of course, a new Pokémon game is going to bring with it a whole host of new Pokémon, but before I get to that I want to talk about some of the old classics. They have done a great job in giving some of the older Pokémon like Grimer and Exeggutor have been given an Alola makeover to make them fit in with the new setting. Honestly, I got just as much of a kick out of seeing these new versions of classic Pokémon as I did the new ones.The new starter Pokémon are great and while most people seem to love Litten, I must admit that I am a Rowlett man myself. The new Pokémon are great and the way that they fit in with the setting gets you even more invested in the game and makes you really want to catch them all.
Fight!
Of course, a huge part of Pokémon games is the battles and the battles in Pokémon Sun and Moon feel great. The battles are much easier to do and the way the game gives you more information about what your attacks do is great and welcome addition. There are also these new Z moves that you can use once in a battle.I think as well as the battle, the overall gameplay is much more refined. The wheel may not have been reinvented in Pokémon Sun and Moon, but I feel the better graphics, more streamlined menus, and the tighter battle system make this a much better experience.
No matter which one you get, Pokémon Sun and Moon are both fantastic games. I feel that this is a game that is great if you are a long time hardcore Pokémon fan. If you played Pokémon back in the day and want to get back into it. Also if you are brand new to the series. This is a game that is fun for everyone who plays it no matter what their prior relationship with Pokémon is.
9/10
Pros:
- More realistic looking characters
- New Pokémon are a lot of fun
- Alola versions of classic Pokémon are awesome
- Battles are a lot of fun
- The story is very engaging
Cons:
- It is still Pokémon
- It will suck up all your free time
Throughout the past 10 years, there have been over 400 unofficial Pokemon Fan Games created for PC, without counting rom hacks. The majority of these released fan games are not very good and are rarely completed. However, a few games stand out in the bunch and are real gems. Some of these fan games are as good as official retail releases. After researching and playing many Pokemon fan games, I have compiled an unranked top list featuring the 10 best games. I also included an honorable mentions list, along with a resources list below the main article.

Pokemon Insurgence *Editors Pick*

Pokemon Insurgence is the ultimate fan service Pokemon game. Pokemon Insurgence features new Mega Evolution’s, a brand new region and story, character and base customization’s, and attainable secret bases. Pokemon Insurgence has a darker story compared to other Pokemon games. Taking place in the cult stricken Torren region, you will try to become the hero and savior of this land. All 722 Pokemon from Generations 1 to 6 can be caught in Insurgence. The story is quite good and the battle system is really balanced. The difficulty of this game can also be changed at any time, in case you run into an area too frustrating, grinding is not needed. Insurgence is still in development for bug fixes and smaller additions but is considered finished otherwise. With over 40+ hours of gameplay time, Insurgence is a must play.

Pokemon Reborn *Editors Pick*

Pokemon Reborn is a serious fan game, for serious players that love to explore everything. Pokemon Reborn is quite challenging in areas but never feels unfair. Reborn influences you to change up Pokemon in battles often and be as strategic as you can be. Reborn takes place in a run-down crime/smog infested region known as Reborn City. A hero must rise up to save this city from its ongoing destruction. The story and characters are entertaining, and the dark city theme feels unique. With over 807 Pokemon available to train and collect, and 18 gym leader types to battle against, Reborn is jam-packed with a lot of exciting gameplay (Over 50+ hours).

Pokemon Zeta/Omicron *Editors Pick*
– Created By: The Suzerain and Team
– More Information & Downloads
Pokemon Zeta and Omicron are two amazing fan games created by the same team that developed Pokemon Insurgence. The two versions (Zeta & Omicron) have differences in story and attainable legendary Pokemon. Both versions are about equally as good, but I see Zeta mentioned a little more often around forums. The storyline is integrated between the two games, so once you’re invested in one version you will probably want to play the other version eventually also. The games take place in two different regions including Vesryn and Aroma, with 12 gyms to battle through. Play as a young hero from Nyasa Town on a quest to save the world. Fight against Terrorist organizations such as Team Asgard led by Odin (Zeta) or Team Olympus led by Zeus (Omicron). These games feature all 649 Pokemon from the first 5 generations. These games have a lot of other nice features like secret bases, mega evolution’s, shadow Pokemon and more. With over 70+ hours of gameplay between Pokemon Zeta & Omicron, they are definitely worth playing.

Pokemon Uranium *Editors Pick*

– More Information & Download
A Pokemon fan games top list not featuring Pokemon Uranium would be a crime. Pokemon Uranium took nine years to make and was a labor of love for Pokemon game fans. Uranium was still in active development before Nintendo called a stop to the project in 2016. Uranium has been downloaded over 2 million times. Even though Uranium’s development was cut off early, there’s still a lot of content available and Uranium feels like a complete game. If you love unofficial Fakemon (unofficial fan-made Pokemon), Uranium offers 150 Fakemon, along with 40 official Pokemon available to catch. Most of the fakemon in Uranium are really cool, and I actually like them more than some of the official Pokemon from the later generations. Uranium takes place in the Tandor region, you will play as a young hero who lives with his auntie. Your main goal is to collect eight gym badges, however, you will encounter large problems on your journey that can’t be avoided. Pokemon Uranium is still one of the best fan games ever made, and should be at the top of your playlist!

If you liked Reborn, you have to play Rejuvenation eventually. There are even a few references of Reborn in Rejuvenation.

Pokemon Mega Adventure is a completed game that packs in a lot of fierce battles. The final completed version was released on April 29th, 2018. You will play as a young kid on a quest to become a champion in the Akito region. You will encounter over 721 Pokemon with a few generations 7 Pokemon included. Mega Adventure is a straightforward fan game with a traditional Pokemon like experience. Mega Adventure executes everything it’s trying to achieve so well. The main things I liked about Mega Adventure is how authentic it feels compared to official games and the ability to have a Pokemon walk around with you. There’s a lot of gameplay here and overall Mega Adventure is a solid game.

Pokemon Phoenix Rising

– More Information & Download
Pokemon Phoenix Rising is an episodic fan game. Currently, episode 1 is finished (available for download) and episode 2 is being developed. Pokemon Phoenix Rising has some of the highest quality visuals I have seen in a fan game. The 2D sprite work of the characters and environments is high quality. I also thought the soundtracks were amazing and above other fan games. Phoenix Rising takes place in the Hawthorne region, and the story is based on good vs evil. Phoenix Rising features a multi-choice story-line, the choices you make while playing will change the story later on. Phoenix Rising’s first episode only provides about 10 hours of gameplay, but more episodes are the way. Because the first episode was so impressive, I imagine when all episodes are completed, Phoenix Rising could be one of the best fan games ever made!

Pokemon 3D is a fan-made remake of Pokemon Gold/Silver. It’s basically those games but in full 3D. The 3D 3rd person and 1st person perspective Pokemon 3D offers reminds me of Minecraft. The 3D perspective works really well, and if you ever imagined playing an official Pokemon game in full 3D, this is the best option at the moment. Even though the core game is finished, Pokemon 3D is still in active development adding in missing content and fixing bugs. It’s amazing playing a Pokemon game in full 3D, Kudos to the developer for creating something entirely new, from an older game.

Pokemon Ethereal Gates
– Created By: The Perihelion Productions Team
– More Information & Download
Pokemon Ethereal Gates is unfinished but already feels like a nearly completed game. The current development has been slow lately for Ethereal Gates, but the developers have reassured fans that there is good to come in the future. Ethereal Gates features 200 plus fakemon (unofficial fan created Pokemon) to battle against and catch. The characters are really cool and the added 3D cutscenes look nice. Visually the game looks great, but for some reason, I was experiencing a lot of lag in areas using my Windows 10 PC. I thought the story was unique and interesting compared to other fan games. I also enjoyed the region set up and the music. Hopefully, Ethereal Gates receives updates in the near future, because it’s already great and has the potential to be amazing.

The game is short in gameplay time at the moment, hopefully, the development team can pull together and release some meaningful updates eventually, because this is another fan game that has huge potential.
