Reviews

[RaspberryRoses]

this functions as my review for the entire series:

the plotting of this fell off sooo badly when they got to the ultra sun/ultra moon part. which is a shame bc i loved the characters. the setting of alola is so good and it is soo good for character interactions. if this had a lot more breathing room and a lot more focus on slice of life, it could have been so good.

the other thing that i do really hate about this is that neither of our protags are indigenous alolan. i think it makes sense for moon to be from sinnoh, since she's highly implied to be related to platinum and all, but... why is sun from kanto. what was gained from this? the ability for pokespe to refuse to have a protagonist with skin darker then cream, i suppose. it's sad.

I HEART THIS BOOK🫠

I love how everyone calls the Alolan Prof. Oak, Professor Samson. I know they're making a distinction there so you know it's not the Kanto Prof. Oak, but it's so silly sounding.

So, that bright light from before was Necrozma changing form into... Legendary Ultra Necrozma (sweet cheeses, why? lol). Anyway, Solgaleo shows up, and this time Sun is ready to fight by it's side. Enter Moon and Lunala, and we get this freaking epic shot of Solgaleo, Lunala, and Zygarde doing their special moves simultaneously against Necrozma. Sun catches Necrozma with the last Beast Ball, and all is right with the Poke-world and Ultra Space again.

But the best thing of all, was Cent creeping up on Faba. Later in the epilogue, you can see (I'm assuming) Cent is back at Sun's side "helping" with the delivery business, but he's still a Meowth. I figured he would've evolved for Sun at some point since he at least liked him enough to go back. Maybe he's just too lazy.

Updated to add: I've been thinking on this lately, and I'm wondering why the author's being so cagey with Moon's sister's identity. Can it be Platinum? But, her pokemon is a piplup. The story line can't be concurrent with Diamond/Pearl/Platinum because Platinum's piplup wasn't sick then. Though there was an empoleon in the background in the epilogue. Are they going to tell us who it is eventually?!?!

I literally can't believe this book. I really wanted this to end a different way! I knew that Moon was Platinum's sister. If Faba is going to go to Galar, then they better hurry up with the Sword and Shield series.# disappointment!

it was a pretty fun series for a good chunk of time but i just didnt find myself terribly interested in how some things were written.. basically the ending didnt land for me. it had good moments tho... shrug

Guzma peacefully making Tapu Koko is the ending he deserves. ♡

The greatest audiobook for kids and their families!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Book Box]

I finished the series and wrote a book report about it all for school.

[Anna]

Aww the end was sweet. 🥰
I can't believe it's over though! I wish there were a sequel to the ending because it would be cute to see Moon's return to Alola.

I think I remembered most of the threads that were tied up. The epilogue stuff helped a lot.
