As someone who took some breaks between Red & Blue and Sun & Moon, there are entire generations worth of Pokemon that I feel are quite forgetful. This includes the new Pokemon for this brand new generation. This means you usually will just fire off the Z-Move that does the most damage without worrying about the ramifications of later fights. In the campaign it isn’t as big of a change though, as most enemy trainers will have just a few Pokemon to battle. These offer interesting new strategic elements that will likely have large implications in competitive circles. In their place is the Z-Move mechanic, which instead gives players a once-per-battle move that usually deals more damage or gives an extra boost to the player, as long as the Pokemon has the right Z Crystal in its hand. There are no new Mega Evolutions present in Sun and Moon, making it seem like Game Freak wanted to avoid them. Mega Evolution seems to sit somewhere in between being forgotten and fully supported. Sure, there are replacements for these in some ways, such as the SOS battles allowing for higher odds of IV perfection and Shiny Pokemon, but the game would be better if it had everything in one tidy package, rather than losing one feature in favor of another that many will feel is worse. Whether this is true or not, Sun and Moon fit the idea with the exclusion of past features such as DexNav and the Friend Safari. There’s been a long running theory that Game Freak is afraid of making a perfect Pokemon game one where every feature fans want is included.

Still, this is where Sun and Moon do falter just a bit, mostly in the way they don’t improve or even carry over past features.
