Your adventure begins much in the same way as past generations. Beneath a moonlit sky – I chose to play Pokémon Moon to see how the 12-hour time difference would work – the camera pans around your new home town, and we see your character's Mom ask Meowth to fetch you to help unpack. Unsurprisingly jetlagged after your long flight from the Kanto region, Meowth discovers you conked out on your bed and unresponsive to its playful purring. Eventually stirred from your sleep, you dash past your fun-filled room – complete with a globe, Pikachu toy and Ditto pillow – to help out.

Astonishingly, this text comes from IGN. Y'know those guys who gave ORAS a 7.8 for having too much water?

Two hours in an older Pokemon game is enough to get me to at least the first Gym, possibly the second. I'd seen an important story cutscene, picked my starter (Litten), trained him to around level 11, caught a full party of new and old Pokemon, and only barely reached the first real city before my time was up. It's a very different pace, and it's done well — I felt like very little time had passed, and I still had the entirety of Alola to explore

This fills me with optimism in regards to content of these games. If that's what they got from just two hours of a demo spent on one of the four islands, then it sounds like these games are way more expansive than we first thought. I'm seriously stoked for these games, even more so after seeing so many positive reviews from the demo alone.

Sounds like Sun and Moon are shaping up to be the best Pokemon Games yet.

All these reviews sound very hype worthy! Can't wait till next month! Some really neat things was found out from these demos.

GameXplain's Q&A after they played the demo in a nutshell: We're not allowed to say.
