GAMES FEATURE

WELCOME

If you, like most other people on the planet, are pretty much done with Pokémon GO , and are looking for something to fill the pocket monster-sized hole in your life, it's time to pick up a copy of Pokémon Sun or Moon . This latest generation of Pokémon games – which, by the way, is celebrating its 20th Pokémon sun

birthday this year – takes you to the immersive island paradise of Alola. A region comprised of four islands, Alola is also home to more new Pokémon than you can count, and it's time to catch 'em all once again. A refreshing take on the franchise, Pokémon Sun and Moon have a bunch of new features including Z-Moves (more powerful moves that can be used once per battle), the return of Pokémon Snap (in the form of the Poké Finder), and even a new way to look at old Pokémon – Alolan Forms. Some old favourites have gotten a makeover in light of the Alolan climate, giving Exeggutor an extra-long neck and Dugtrio a nice mop of hair. A personal favourite of these new additions is, however, the incorporation of a Rotom into your Pokedex. He's like the Microsoft Office Assistant you never knew you needed in a Pokémon game. Go jump back into your childhood.

It's a funny thing, ambition. It can take one to sublime heights or harrowing depths. Sometimes they are one and the same. Lady Emily Kaldwin, Dishonored

If you use Emily's Doppelganger ability to create a clone in Dishonored 2 , you can use it as a crash test dummy to stop yourself taking fall damage. Did you know?
