SPOILERS! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED GO AWAY!
Whelp it took me a week but, I finally beat the story of Pokemon Moon! Personally I thought the journey for this game was the most fleshed out since Silver's victory lap around Kanto. I'll say this much I certainly loved my time through Aloha even if many of the battles made my older 3DS shit the bed. The environments were great, memorable and mostly a blast to play through. ESPECIALLY with the removal of HM's.
Honestly my biggest meh was honestly the elite four. Like, I wouldn't have mind if it was like maybe one returning member of the Kahuna's and 3 new trainers but nope 4/5 battles are people you already know. Though, the final one is my favorite for more personal reasons. Mostly because my team mirrored and differed from the champ's team.
Now for my team!
Tigra: Incineroar Female lvl 60
I admit I mostly picked the cat because of how cute its mew was. Now, I was getting ready to name them all sorts of things, King, Kanji just to name a few. However when I saw FEMALE Well shit there goes all my plans. Honestly she was a fun pokemon to train up, made mincemeat of most things though, kinda slow for a fire dark type with a LOT or weakness's. Overall a fun starter!
Speedy: Slowbro Male lvl 61
Yes, I am that childish. YES I never trained a Slowpoke before, mostly because I was a dumb kid and wanted the coolest pokemon on my team. Slowpoke was my panic/tank/yawning capture pokemon. If I was in some shit Speedy was there to take some hits while the team either got back into the fight. OR he would end the fights.
Garnet: Lycanroc Midnight form Female lvl 61
Again another OH so many pun names ready and well, female shiiiiiit. Either way she pulled her weight and then some. Honestly this is the first time I EVER raised a rock pokemon a pure one at that. She was simply a blast! And I admit, I spent SO much of my time giving her high fives and cleaning her. ;3;
Forla: Lurantis Female lvl 61
Huh bunch of females and I admit this wasn't apparent until I got the full team together. Anyway, for those who did not know, I blame Gravityinbound for my love of this pokemon. So as soon as I fought through the grass trial I made sure to pick one up. Slow learning and very fragile at first once Forla evolved she began to sweep through people. ESPECIALLY when I gave her leech life. Oh boy~
Meepes: FOX-Ninetales Aloha Version lvl 63
I am not ashamed to admit I had a friend who gave me this one. They are not only a good friend but, made sure to name it after someone they knew all too well. Anyway I basically love EVERYTHING about Ninetales before now, just with a icer more regal feel to them. Look I am cutting this one short here because I will gush and GUSH about this one so moving on.
DIO: Kommo-o Male lvl 58
Can you see who was the late edtion to the team. THIS fucker took so long for me to hunt down and was really the reason everyone else is so high level. Dio however low level he is did prove to be a powerhouse in their own right. Tanking a lot of damage and dishing out just as much. Though with Fairy being a thing I am going to have to be careful again.
