==Trivia==
*The graphics of this game are no longer chibi. In fact, the characters look taller and more realistic.
*Beginning in Generation VII, HMs are replaced by Poké Ride, they are also used as actual moves as well. You may page a ride at any time using the Y button.
*Because of this, it is the first Pokémon game without HMs (a feature that carried over into Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee and Pokémon Sword and Shield)
* The bases that used to appear in battle from previous games are now removed.
*This is the first core series Pokémon game that doesn't feature Gyms or Gym Leaders.
** Gyms return in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!.
*Silvally, Solgaleo and Lunala are the first Legendary Pokémon to have prevolutions. 
**Solgaleo and Lunala are also the first Legendary Pokémon to be owned by another character before letting the player character catch it, originally, Nebby belonging to Lusamine before taken by Lillie.
*The shaking grass feature has returned.
*Every time a Pokémon is caught or evolves, the Pokédex will register it automatically.
*This is the first game to stop having Pokédex entries for transferred Pokémon, since the Bank has been upgraded to have the National Dex feature.
*This is the first core series game to not have the involvement of Satoru Iwata due to his death from a bile duct tumor on July 11, 2015.
*A reviewer in Poké Finder complains "7.8 of 10, too much water", which is a reference to IGN's comment on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
*If you are using the codes provided in 2018 for the year of Legendary Pokémon, Palkia, Regigigas, Entei, Yveltal, Thundurus, Kyogre, Latias, Zekrom, and Lugia are exclusive to Sun, while Dialga, Heatran, Raikou, Xerneas, Tornadus, Groudon, Latios, Reshiram, and Ho-Oh are exclusive to Moon
*With these games' release date set on November 18, 2016, roughly two years after the release of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (November 21, 2014), this is the longest gap between two sets of games from Pokémon since the 23-month gap between Pokémon Crystal Version (December 14, 2000) and Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions (November 21, 2002).
*This is the second core series region to be based on the United States (Hawaii), the first being Unova (New York) from Pokémon Black and White.
*According to Grimsley's concept art for these games, it is confirmed that Sun and Moon's timeline is set two years after the events of Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2.
*These are the first Pokémon games that do not have the National Pokédex available in-game. However, every Pokémon that existed up to the time Sun and Moon were released can be transferred into this game.
