Pokémon Solar Red and Lunar Blue

NOTE FROM AUTHOR: This project was written and completed before the announcement of Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee. This article should be read as if those paired titles were never released, and that instead Solar Red and Lunar Blue are the Kanto remakes for the seventh generation. Thank you.
----
 and are the third and final paired titles to the seventh generation of the Pokémon series. The games were released in 2018 for the Nintendo Switch, being the first mainline title in the series released for a console rather than a handheld. The games feature a return to the Kanto region, however include a different story than that of the original Red and Blue Versions. The story takes place soon after the events of Pokémon Sun and Moon and builds upon their storyline as well as establishing a new one. In regards to story, these titles are not considered sequels to Sun and Moon but rather spin-offs.
In addition to the new story elements, the titles introduce many more gameplay elements as well. Alongside all 251 Pokémon in the Kanto and Johto Pokédexes making reappearances, 229 additional Pokémon from the other regions of the Pokémon world make appearances (making a grand total of 480 available Pokémon). Additionally, the Kanto map has many alterations including a number of new cities, relocation of route paths, and thorough redesigns of cities. Finally, parts of the Johto region also reappear with similar changes being included.
==Gameplay==
The gameplay of Pokémon Solar Red and Lunar Blue is virtually unchanged from its predecessors; the games run on the same engine as Pokémon Sun and Moon. However, due to the change from dual screen gameplay to single-screen gameplay, there are a few changes to the way the game runs on the Nintendo Switch in comparison to the Nintendo 3DS. Furthermore, there are two different control options-- utilizing the Nintendo Switch console's touch screen or simply using one or two Joy-Cons or a Pro Controller.
===Overworld===
The overworld is hardly changed in these titles. There are several control options, as aforementioned. The control stick is used to move, and presses the buttons to interact with the world. The X button or its equivalent button can be pressed to open the pause menu. The pause menu is pulled up on the right side of the screen, and has several pages; the L or R buttons can be used to switch through them.
In the pause menu, there are the following options on each page. For the first page, there is: Pokémon, to view the player's team; Bag, to view the player's inventory; and Pokédex, to see all the Pokémon which the player has caught or seen. On the second page, there is: Trainer Card, by which the current progress can be viewed; Save, which allows a record of the current progress to be kept; and Options, which allows configuration of the game. On the third page, there is: Poké Pelago, a new feature to the seventh generation; Pokémon Refresh, by which Pokémon can be interracted with; and the DexNav, described later in the article. Finally, on the fourth page, there is: Battle Video, by which saved battles can be watched; QR Scanner, which allows players to scan Pokémon to register in their Pokédex; and finally, there is an Amiibo option.
===Battle===
The battle screen is heavily changed from how it appears in Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS Pokémon titles. In fact, it is somewhat more akin to that of Pokémon titles on the Nintendo Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance. At the bottom of the screen is a bar which has all of the options for what can be done (Fight, Bag, Run, or Party). Above this is a smaller bar which says, "What will this Pokémon do?"
In the center of the bar is the Fight! option; it is bigger than the rest of the options and will lead to a separate menu. Upon choosing it, the whole bar will be replaced with the four move options that the Pokémon will have, aligned as 2-by-2. If applicable, there will be an option to either Mega Evolve or use a Z-Move at the top right of the screen; in controller mode, the X button can be used to activate it. To the left of the Fight! button, there is an icon of each of the Pokémon in the battle. Upon selecting this menu, all of the following can be seen: how stats have changed, the effects of abilities, and any weather or environmental change. When selected, all of this information appears in the form of a bubble above the Pokémon's model. The right control stick, L and R buttons, or swiping the touchscreen will pan the camera.
To the right of the Fight! button, there are three options on top of each other. The first is the Bag option which will lead to a completely different screen and allow them to select an item to use on their Pokémon. The second is the Pokémon option which will also lead to a different screen; they will be able to see all of their Pokémon and their summaries or choose to switch to them. The final one is the Run option which will allow escape from battle, if applicable. At the top left corner of the screen, when against wild Pokémon, there is a Poké Ball option which may be tapped to activate (the Y button works as a shortcut). As one can see, the battle system is simply reorganized rather than overhauled in this title.
Using a controller, there is a shortcut to each option. As mentioned before, the Y button can be used to shortcut to the Poké Ball menu and the X button can be used as a shortcut to Mega Evolution or Z-Moves. When not in the Fight menu, the X button can be used as a shortcut to the menu describing each Pokémon that is in battle. The directional pad is used as a shortcut to the other options. The shortcut to the Fight menu is the up direction, to the bag menu is the left direction, to the Party menu is the right direction, and to flee is the down direction (if the shortcut to flee i used, a confirmation menu will come up first). If a player is playing with only one Joy-Con, they may hold the R button and press one of these directions on the control stick to activate their shortcut.
==Plot==
:More info: List of battles in the story
The story begins in Pallet Town, eight years after the events of Gold and Silver, and two months after the events of Sun and Moon. A young child named /, and their friend Ava gain their first Pokémon from Professor Oak in order to start their Pokémon journey. The young trainer's primary objective is to collect many Pokémon in the Kanto region, and challenge all eight gym leaders, and finally the Azalea League. The story starts off rather slowly. Nolan/Luna heads to nearby Viridian City where they must graduate from the Trainer's School in order to begin their journey. Later, Nolan/Luna heads to nearby Celadon City and Cerulean City and successfully wins to the first two gym leaders (Erika and Misty). Afterwards, the story begins to pick up.
A group of Team Skull members are blocking off the Nugget Bridge north of Cerulean City, claiming that they wish to capture the Legendary Pokémon in Cerulean Cave. Nolan/Luna fights with these two grunts, and they retreat. Later down the road, Nolan/Luna meets with the scientist, Bill. Working as his partner is the rising trainer Lillie from the Alola region. Lillie claims that she came from the Alola region to the Kanto region seeking the help of Bill for personal reasons which she does not yet reveal, as well as to become a strong Pokémon trainer. Team Skull, originally from the Alola region, followed her for unrevealed reasons and desire to exploit the power of the Legendary Pokémon of Kanto.
After clearing the Seafoam gym challenge, Nolan/Luna heads to the Cinnabar Ruins. Here, they meet with an admin of Team Skull, named Ophelia. She reveals an objective of harnessing the power of a legendary Pokémon in the Kanto or Johto region. They still reveal no motive. At Cinnabar Island, Nolan/Luna also meets Blue. Blue is a powerful and experienced trainer, and grandson of Professor Oak. He tells that he is in pursuit of Team Skull in order to keep the peace in the Kanto region and protect the Legendary Pokémon.
As Nolan/Luna continues to clear gym challenges, the plot continues as well. Lillie heads to the Sinjoh Path at the northern town of Fulvous. Nolan/Luna encounters Shaymin/Cresselia on this path, who can see the clear potential of Nolan/Luna. Nolan/Luna continues to see this Pokémon until it leads Nolan/Luna to Mt. Mortar. Later in the story, it is revealed that Lillie came to the Kanto region to seek help in healing her mother, Lusamine, who is in post-traumatic shock after attempting to fuse with an otherworldly Pokémon. A branch of Team Skull came to the Kanto region in pursuit of Lillie to learn the whereabouts of Lusamine, who is hidden. Team Skull desires to hold power over the most powerful of Pokémon in another world, and desires the help of Lusamine to do so. Furthermore, Team Skull is searching for Legendary Pokémon in order to attempt to open up another Ultra Wormhole.
At the Altar of the Eclipse located at the end of Mt. Mortar, Ophelia has the Legendary Pokémon Celebi in captivity and plans to make it work for her. Celebi is known to have the power to open up time vortexes, though Ophelia plans to use this power to fuel a machine to open an Ultra Wormhole. Nolan/Luna battles against Ophelia and comes out victorious, though Ophelia continues to use the power of Celebi. Ophelia successfully opens an Ultra Wormhole, though it is weak and unstable. Solgaleo/Lunala exits from the Ultra Wormhole. The Legendary Pokémon, angered that the Ultra Space has been disturbed once again by this world, attacks Ophelia. Nolan/Luna battles against the Legendary Pokémon and either captures it or defeats it. Though Ophelia was saved, she still has the desire to take control over the Pokémon of the Ultra Space, even after being put in danger by one of its most powerful Pokémon. She enters the Ultra Wormhole, knowing that the entrance will collapse soon. All are powerless to stop her.
Nolan/Luna then continues with their gym challenges, completing the final two gyms in the Johto region. Before taking on the Pokémon League, Nolan/Luna spots Lillie one more time. Lillie wishes to have a full-power battle against Nolan/Luna, to determine how far they have both come as trainers in the Kanto region. Finally, Nolan/Luna takes on the Azalea League and defeats the Elite Four and Champion, who is revealed to be Blue who had recently returned to Kanto to "reclaim the throne." Nolan/Luna is now champion of the Kanto region, and thus there is much more to come at them.
Soon after Nolan/Luna returns home, Lillie tells them that there is a way to stop Ophelia from wreaking her havoc over the powerful Pokémon of the Ultra Space; the Ultra Wormhole at the Altar of the Eclipse has been reopened by the power of Celebi. They enter it, and meet with a reluctant Ophelia. Nolan/Luna must, once again, battle against Ophelia. In this battle, Ophelia has a new addition to her team: an Ultra Beast she has captured in the Ultra Space (Pheromosa/Buzzwole). However, once Nolan/Luna defeats her, she admits that she had realized the fault in her actions and she exits through the Ultra Wormhole with Nolan/Luna and Lillie. She tells that she does not know where she will go, but leaves the Altar. 
After Ophelia has left, Lillie and Nolan/Luna return to Bill's home. She tells Nolan/Luna that she is returning to the Alola region. Despite that she did not work alone, she recognizes her own growth, as well as the growth of Nolan/Luna. He/she sees her off in Vermilion City. Before Lillie boards the boat, Lillie challenges Nolan/Luna to one final battle. Afterwards, Nolan/Luna finally returns home, though more quests are ahead of them.
===Post-Game===
If Nolan/Luna returns to Pewter City, they may meet Diantha, champion of Kalos, in the Pewter City apartments. Here, she may lead Nolan/Luna through a quest in which Nolan/Luna must put a stop to the legendary Pokémon Xerneas and Yveltal. Yveltal was spotted in Saffron City whereas Xerneas was spotted in Celadon City. After both have been either captured or defeated, Nolan/Luna is alerted that a full-power Zygarde was located at Route 18, nearing Vermilion City. Nolan/Luna must capture or defeat it; after this is done, Zygarde's cells and cores will disperse and be located all across the region.
Nolan/Luna may now catch all of the Legendary and Mythical Pokémon of the Kanto and Johto region, may traverse Mt. Silver, and may take part in the Indigo Plateau World Tournament. All of the Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are scattered throughout the region; Articuno is located at the Seafoam Islands, Zapdos is located at the Power Plant, Moltres is located at Mt. Silver, Mewtwo is located at Cerulean Cave, Mew is located at Route 17, Raikou is located at Route 23, Entei is located at Cinnabar Ruins, Suicune is located at Route 25, and Lugia/Ho-Oh can be found on Route 51 after all three of the Legendary Birds and Beasts have been captured. Shaymin/Cresselia is located at Sinjoh Path, Celebi is located at Route 1 after Lugia/Ho-Oh has been captured, and finally Nolan/Luna may obtain a Cosmog by taking Celebi to the Altar of the Eclipse.
When Nolan/Luna traverses Mt. Silver after they have captured Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde, N is at the peak. He tells of his long, difficult journeys around the Pokémon world, and challenges Nolan/Luna to a battle. His Pokémon are at very high levels. After Nolan/Luna defeats N, they may receive a Johto starter (Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile) from Professor Elm in New Bark City.
==Pokédex==
:Main Article: Regional Pokédex
Not including the unobtainable mythical Pokémon, there are 480 Pokémon available for capture in these titles. This includes the original 151 Pokémon from Kanto in Pokémon Red and Blue Versions, though it also includes the 100 Pokémon added in Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions. In total, there are 229 Pokémon from the third through seventh generation included in the games' Pokédex.
See the above link for the full list of Pokémon within the Kanto and Johto regions. 
===Version Exclusive Pokémon===

===Legendary Pokémon===
:Main Article: Legendary Pokémon
Apart from the 17 legendary Pokémon (that is, including Cosmog and Cosmoem) in the regional dex, other legendary Pokémon may be caught through various other means. Most of these Pokémon are encountered in the overworld though some are encountered via wild grass.
===New Forms===
Two legendary Pokémon have newly introduced forms in this title; these are used during the storyline of the game. Shaymin and Cresselia are secondary legendaries of their respective games and receive new forms to match Solgaleo and Lunala to highlight their power being used to open the Ultra Wormhole and summon their legendary Pokémon. 
Upon entering battle, a Shaymin with the ability Red Sun will enter Radiant Sun form and a Cresselia with the ability Blue Moon will enter Full Moon form. A Shaymin with the ability Red Sun may transform into Sky Forme Shaymin via the Gracidea, but its ability Red Sun will be replaced for Serene Grace. If a Sky Forme Shaymin is frozen in battle and reverted to its original form, but that form has the ability Red Sun, it will then transform into Radiant Sun form. 
A Shaymin or Cresselia obtained in other games with their default ability may have their ability changed with an Ability Capsule. A Shaymin with Red Sun or a Cresselia with Blue Moon may not be traded or transferred to Pokémon Sun or Moon, and they may also not be used during a Link Battle with either of those games.

==Features==
Several features, new and old, make their debut or return in this title.
===Poké Ride===
:Main Article: Poké Ride (via Bulbapedia)
Poké Ride is a feature introduced in Sun and Moon as a replacement to Hidden Moves in previous Pokémon games. Poké Ride makes its return in Solar Red and Lunar Blue, replacing all of the traditional HMs used in Kanto and Johto. The following is a list of all Pokémon which may be paged.

===New Moves===
:Main Article: /New Moves/
Accompanying the new forms of Shaymin and Cresselia introduced in these titles are several new signature moves to plenty of Pokémon. Each Kanto starter Pokémon received their own signature move, as did each Johto starter Pokémon. Furthermore, Shaymin and Cresselia gain new moves to match the types of their newly introduced respective Radiant Sun and Full Moon forms.
Each of the moves introduced in these titles cannot be used in a link battle against a Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon cartridge. Furthermore, Pokémon who know any of these moves may not be traded or transferred via Pokémon Bank into Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon.
====Z-Moves====
:Main Article: New Z-Moves
Introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon, the Z-Move makes its return in these titles. Every Z-Crystal can be obtained at some point throughout the story, and the Z-Ring is received near the beginning of the games. These titles also introduce several new Z-Moves that were not featured in Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon. Most of these Z-Moves are exclusive to Pokémon from the Kanto region, though there are a few new Z-Moves for other Pokémon as well.
===DexNav===
:Main Article: DexNav (via Bulbapedia)
Originally from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the DexNav is a feature which comes with Pokédex. 
DexNav is accessible from the pause menu. From there, there is a list of all Pokémon in the area (Pokémon only are available from this list after the player has seen them) and may search for them. A rustling grass spot may appear, where the Pokémon will be. Additionally, rustling spots will randomly appear as the player walks through a route. At the bottom of the screen, where text boxes are, there will be a small menu detailing this Pokémon and its potential. As the player gets closer, more details become revealed.
===Pokémon Refresh and Poké Pelago===
:Main Article: Pokémon Refresh and Poké Pelago (via Bulbapedia)
Pokémon Refresh and Poké Pelago make their returns in Solar Red and Lunar Blue, though they are virtually unchanged from their functionality in Pokémon Sun and Moon. However, both of these features are still compatible when touchscreen mode is not in use. These modes are simply controlled with a cursor by the left control stick and the A button or its equivalent button is used to interact.
===Pokémon World Tournament===
:Main Article: Indigo Plateau World Tournament and Pokémon World Tournament (via Bulbapedia)
The Pokémon World Tournament made its appearance in Black and White Versions 2. The concept is virtually unchanged; the PWT is a battle facility where several strong opponents from across the Pokémon world may be battled. Each of these challenges include important trainers from Pokémon games such as gym leaders, champions, kahunas, trial masters, and team leaders. 
The Pokémon World Tournament is located on the Indigo Plateau in Kanto. This is the former location of the Kanto League, which has been relocated to Azalea Town in Johto. The location can actually be used as a hub for trainers; at the IPWT, trainers can train against Amiibo trainers, increase IVs, change Nature properties, and breed Pokémon at the daycare.
===Character Customization===
A feature returning from X, Y, Sun, and Moon is character customization-- though it has much more options than in those games. There are many more clothing articles which can be bought, and there are no longer version-exclusive colors. Dresses return as well. In total there are about 24 tops (12♂ and 12♀), 16 dresses, 24 shoes, 24 skirts, 36 pants or shorts, 24 hats, 36 socks or tights, and 24 glasses / sunglasses (not including color variations). Additionally, there are 10 female hairstyles and 10 male hairstyles. Most of these clothing items has color alternatives, as well.
The biggest change out of this is that clothes are no longer gender-exclusive. Male players may buy traditionally female clothing, and vice-versa. Additionally, as there are only seven hairstyle options that are default, three new hairstyles are unlocked after clearing all 8 gyms; at this point they also unlock the option to have hairstyles of the opposite gender.
As in added in Sun and Moon, there is also the option of lipstick though there are many new colors; they can be bought at beauty salons. Clothing boutiques and beauty salons are located next to each other always, and are located in the following cities: Celadon City, Saffron City, Fuchsia City, Blackthorn City, New Bark City, Violet City, and finally the Indigo Plateau World Tournament.
===Version-Based Time===
As in Pokémon Sun and Moon, the time of day differs between Pokémon Solar Red and Lunar Blue. However, the versions are swapped from the way they were presented in Sun and Moon. Thus, while it is daytime in the real world it will be nighttime in Pokémon Solar Red, but daytime in Lunar Blue. Conversely, while it is nighttime in the real world, it will be daytime in Pokémon Solar Red but nighttime in Lunar Blue.
This is to highlight that the events of each game take place in the same universe as their opposite match between Sun and Moon; Pokémon Solar Red takes place in the same universe as Pokémon Moon while Pokémon Lunar Blue takes place in the same universe as Pokémon Sun. 
===Difficulty Setting===
Originally introduced in Pokémon Black and White Versions 2 was the difficulty setting, though it never made a reappearance. Some players are more experienced than others when it comes to Pokémon, and these players may desire a challenge. On the other hand, some players may wish to play the game much more casually and not desire nearly as much of a challenge. There are three difficulty settings which are chosen from at the beginning of the game.
In Easy Mode players are given the Exp. All Key Item which shares experience to all Pokémon in the party when a Pokémon is defeated. Additionally, the level curve of enemy Pokémon is much lower than in the other two difficulties. Some stronger Pokémon have increased encounter rates in the wild compared to in the other two modes.
In Normal Mode players do not receive the Exp. All Key Item until post-game. The level curve is average for a decent amount of difficulty, though the encounter rate of stronger Pokémon is lower than in Easy Mode. Enemy trainers will use slightly stronger Pokémon as well as deeper strategy.
In Hard Mode players do not receive the Exp. All Key Item. The level curve is much higher; the champion's Pokémon are near to level 68. Additionally, trainers will have more developed strategies including strategic usage of priority moves, healing items, and Pokémon's held items. Encounter rate, however, is unchanged from Normal Mode.
===Amiibo===
:Main Article: Amiibo
These titles introduce a new function to the series: Amiibo battling. The title is compatible with Amiibo figures that Nintendo has developed, as well as cards. If the Amiibo figure or card is scanned, this species of Pokémon will be summoned to the Indigo Plateau. These Pokémon may be battled against, and are able to be captured. Each of these Pokémon will have a special move, either unobtainable on this Pokémon in-game or simply an Egg Move.
===Personal Training===
Personal Training is the title of a new type of training introduced in these games. Personal Training involves the stats affected by a Pokémon's nature; at the price of one Bottle Cap, a player may alter these on a Pokémon. The Pokémon's nature will not change, however a new stat which will be increased and a new stat which will be decreased (or the option to have neither an increase nor decrease) will be chosen. This allows trainers to fully develop the potential of the Pokémon they have used to train over the years without having to choose a new Pokémon.
If a Pokémon who has gone through Personal Training is given an Everstone to hold and then is bred, the offspring will have the nature that corresponds to the original Pokémon's stats rather than the nature in the Pokémon's summary.
===Other Tweaks===
*All 807 Pokémon have new models in these games, though the vast majority of them are simply enhanced to appear high definition. 
**Many Pokémon have color palettes which are switched to appear more vibrant and saturated compared to the desaturated models of the 3DS Pokémon games.
**Most Pokémon who were in flight in their animations (such as Skarmory, Salamence, Honchkrow, Xatu, and many more) no longer fly in their animations. 
**Many Pokémon (such as Mienshao, Eelektross, Hitmontop, Typhlosion, and many more) have changes to their stances in their new models to appear more active, similar to Generation V sprites.
*Players can view the actual number value of Pokémon's EVs and IVs. In their summaries from the PC when judging, a number appears next to each stat which represents a Pokémon's IV for that stat. The same appears for EVs in the Pokémon's summary.
*Triple battles and rotation battles make their return due to increased hardware capabilities of the Nintendo Switch. Furthermore, if a player has a group of six friends, they may have a multi battle of 3 versus 3.
*Horde battles also make their return. Though field moves have been removed, if a Pokémon with the move Sweet Scent is at the front of the player's party while using Ampharos Brighten, then every encounter becomes a horde encounter.
*On the GTS, Pokémon such as Vivillon and Minior may be searched for by their form on the GTS.
*If a player has already registered a Pokémon in the Pokédex with its Hidden Ability, they may use an Ability Capsule to change the ability of any Pokémon of the same species to receive its Hidden Ability. For example, if a player has a Mienshao with the ability Reckless, then any future Mienshao they capture will be able to be changed to have the ability Reckless with the Ability Capsule.
*Despite its removal in Pokémon Sun and Moon, the National Pokédex returns in these titles.
==Region==
:Main Article: /Region/
As aforementioned, the region has a number of changes. One new city has been added in the Kanto region (plus the Indigo Plateau World Tournament), alongside two in the Johto region. The Johto region is accessible partly, being a part of the eastern side. These cities have notable changes as well. Additionally, four new routes have been added at the northern part of Kanto and Johto. They are all mountainous; Routes 49, 50, and 52 contain Pokémon known to frigid climates while Route 51 contains Ice-type Pokémon. These routes are numbered as Routes 49 through 52.
The quest begins Pallet Town then heads through Route 1 to Viridian City and already there is one major change. The pathway to Viridian Forest has been closed; city officials state that the path is closed in order to encourage reforestation attempts. However, Route 2 has been relocated to the east of Viridian City, connecting the city to Route 16 and Celadon City, location of the first Pokémon gym. 
Finally, the Pokémon League has been relocated. At the Indigo Plateau now is the Indigo Plateau World Tournament where trainers from around the world gather. The new Indigo League is located in Azalea Town, while Victory Road is located within Slowpoke Well.

==Trivia==
*Pokémon Solar Red and Lunar Blue mark the first return to a region in a later generation than the region's debut which features major changes. These changes include the full storyline, region, and Pokédex composition.
*Despite that the original titles released in Japan were Pokémon Red and Green Versions, Pokémon Solar Red and Lunar Blue make a release in Japan using the same titles.
*These titles are the first of the Pokémon core series to be released on a home console (though the Nintendo Switch does have handheld capabilities).
*Due to the vast selection of Pokémon included both in these titles and in Pokémon Sun and Moon, these games make it possible for every non-legendary, non-mythical, and non-starter Pokémon to be caught in Generation VII alone.
