A sunny archipelago, brand-new creatures, and the familiar promise of a new region to roam.

No gut ranking, so straight to the per-criterion profile. And it's low across the board: desert island ahead of barely more than one game in 10, fun hardly better, connection around a quarter of games. No point clears the average. Nothing crushing, but a clear lean toward the bottom of the pack. Important: it all rests on one or two votes per criterion, so these early returns suggest more than they settle, to confirm.

In the long line of Pokémon RPGs, Sun marks a chapter often judged more guided and less free. These first numbers fit that reputation, without condemning it on so little material.

So who's it for? You, if you follow the series and want to discover its tropical region and regional forms. Much less if you expect a peak of attachment or controller-in-hand fun.
