Pokémon Sun, Moon
Nintendo 3DS · 2016
About this game
As with Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire , a demo version of Pokémon Sun and Moon versions was distributed on the Nintendo eShop one month prior to the full release.
The initial scenario starts with the male trainer, Sun, visiting Hau'oli City with his mother shortly after their move to the Alola region.

After meeting a local boy named Hau and fending off Team Skull thugs, Sun and his Greninja participate in one of the region's traditional Trials in order to grow stronger.
On subsequent adventures, he can battle local trainers, catch Pokémon, and earn rare items.
New scenarios open up to the player every few days after their initial completion of the demo.
The Greninja used in this demo is based on the one Ash Ketchum owns in the Pokémon anime, and comes with an exclusive ability that allows it to change form into Ash-Greninja.
Upon completion of the demo, Greninja and several of the obtained items can be transferred to a Sun or Moon save file.
About Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS (2011) added glasses-free stereoscopic 3D and a second analog input to Nintendo's handheld line, eventually building a library that rivaled the DS in size and quality. Because the eShop for digital purchases has since closed, physical 3DS cartridges are the only way to preserve access to many titles — a dynamic that's pushing more collectors toward cartridge-based copies even for games that were originally digital-first.
Gamevaro tracks Pokémon Sun, Moon for Nintendo 3DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Pokémon Sun, Moon to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This 3DS release dates back to 2016.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Pokémon Sun, Moon, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo 3DS titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
