Pokemon Moon prologue preliminary thoughts

No, I'm not falling into another Pokemon game, because I'm already neck-deep in one Pokemon game. It's just that I have Moon sitting on the shelf, unplayed, and there are a bunch of Mystery Gift event giveaways they're currently handing out that I may as well grab while I can. I preordered Ultra Moon, and even that can sit on the shelf until I'm actually ready to play it, but I may as well 1) play the upgraded version instead if I wasn't already tied to the original, and 2) have all those event giveaways waiting for me when I do. There won't be a rush at that point, but I at least need to get them first.

So, some observations from Moon's prologue, on my quest to at least get far enough to find an actual shop with the Mystery Gift delivery person in it. Because first-glance blind reactions are hard to replicate, and if (if, and we'd be talking years down the road) I ever playblog Ultra Moon like I'm doing SoulSilver, I don't want my unscripted first impressions lost to time.

( No major spoilers or anything, some long-ish rambling though )
