Nintendo Pokemon Moon Specification

The Nintendo Pokémon Moon is a role-playing video game developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS handheld console. It is part of the seventh generation of the Pokémon series, released alongside Pokémon Sun in November 2016. The game is set in the Alola region, an archipelago inspired by Hawaii, and introduces players to a tropical environment with diverse ecosystems and unique Pokémon species.

Pokémon Moon features a turn-based battle system where players capture and train creatures called Pokémon to compete in battles. The game introduces new gameplay mechanics such as Z-Moves, which are powerful moves that can be used once per battle, and the concept of Alolan Forms, which are regional variations of existing Pokémon with different appearances and types. Players are tasked with completing the island challenge, a series of trials and battles across the Alola region, rather than the traditional gym battles seen in previous games.

The game also features a real-time clock that affects certain events and Pokémon encounters, with Pokémon Moon operating on a 12-hour offset from the system's time. Players can engage in multiplayer battles and trades through the Nintendo Network, enhancing the game's social interaction aspect. Enhanced graphics and animations provide a more immersive experience, showcasing the vibrant landscapes and detailed character designs of the Alola region. Pokémon Moon is compatible with previous Pokémon titles through the Pokémon Bank, allowing players to transfer their Pokémon from earlier games. This title is praised for its engaging storyline, innovative features, and the refreshing take it brings to the long-standing Pokémon franchise.
