Multiplayer and New Modes
Sun and Moon also provide a few new ways for you to play with friends, or interact with the game. A new feature called Poke Pelago gives all those Pokemon placed in boxes a nice little island to enjoy. You can visit this island and develop facilities there, meet new Pokemon who might join your party, and even obtain valuable items.
The Festival Plaza is where interactions with other players are this time, and you can battle, trade, shop with Festival Coins, and even go on missions with others there. On top of that, there’s a new local co-op mode known as Battle Royal. Here four players choose three Pokemon each, no items are allowed, and they enter a ring where it’s literally a free-for-all. Anyone can attack anyone.
As if all this wasn’t enough, there’s also a photo mode that lets you take Pokemon Snap style pictures.
