The Pokémon Direct has revealed brand-new games in Generation VII of the main series! Called Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the games feature a new story as well as Pokémon that didn’t originally appear in Sun & Moon. Both will be released globally on November 17, 2017.

What do you think? Were you hoping for a Switch title or are you happy these are on the Nintendo 3DS?
So that’s really really weird that Diamond and Pearl weren’t on the shelf. For how many years are they going to promote these remakes before releasing them? (Probably just one)
Where, photo?

Lol
Tbf B2W2 is also missing
They are the “third” game of their generation
They contain a new narrative tho. Hell even remakes are there
Maybe he hide it by his head.
Holy shit, Gamefreak is releasing the same game on the same system just one year later and people are gobbling it up.
So business as usual?
I think I’m gonna cut myself on this edge
same system and same region, no thank you
What is Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum and Black 2/White 2?
The same thing without new pokemon (except bw2)
BW2 didn’t have new Pokemon either.
They had pokemon that you couldn’t catch in bw
They weren’t really ‘new’ tho
Same with all the other third versions.
Black 2 white 2 is not in that same category.
Similar ballpark.
Nope. Completely original story and only direct sequel. That’s unlike every other version release ever.
I’m talking in terms of play ability. Ignoring the story line it hits all the same notes as regular third versions.
-expanded Pokedex
-areas that were inaccessible or non existent in the original paired games
-a new form for the third legendary
It’s basically a third game with an updated story.
except all of these were on systems that could handle them and i hate Alola
Systems that could handle them?
Also, what did Alola do to you?
i didn’t enjoy Sun&Moon even though i loved the new Pokemon but it’s the region that i really don’t want to visit again
See I’d agree, I don’t like Alola either, much rather return to Kalos.
However, I didn’t like Sinnoh in D/P, but loved it in Platinum, so it’s worth a shot.
you’re right, but why couldn’t it be on the switch?
i don’t even own a switch but i’d buy it for Pokemon :'(
I have a switch and am dissapointed that they didnt do the oblivious thing for ones
Maybe because it’s still Gen 7, and with the exception of Crystal (Even then the GBC is basically just a N3DS situation), they like to keep Main Gens on the same console, which is also why B2/W2 is on the DS.
Depending on Nintendo’s plans, we still dunno if they really are gonna use the Switch as a dedicated handheld, the way the 3DS is right now it seems unlikely for now. If D/P remakes exist this Gen, then they’ll probably be 3DS too.
For Gen 8 however, it’s either Switch, or the 3DS’s successor, if that will even exist.
However, nothing’s ruling out a Colosseum style side game for the Switch before then.
To everyone confused, here’s what it is by analysis
It’s Sun and Moon, not a sequel, but the story is altered
So kinda like platinum on steroids
I’ve been analyzing the fuck out of this trailer
Also Mimikyu Zmove
‘an alternate story taking place in the world of sun and moon’ is how they describe it
Pretty much
So new pokemon can either mean:
A) Old Pokemon that were not in Sun and Moon (AKA an expanded national dex)
B) New pokemon forms (alolan or just those new legends)
C) New UB’s. (Ewww….)
D) New Pokemon altogether. (Which is the only reason I would buy these games).
Its without a doubt C
UGH
and Ewww again
Why ew?
I don’t think I’d be too confident. No one saw USUM coming so I wouldnt claim anything as fact yet.
ULTRA sun and moon
Doesn’t mean its just C though.
New UBs are new Pokémon ?
Considering Gen 2 is coming out on the VC, I have a feeling we’ll get Gen 2 Alolan forms.
I’m guessing all of the above.
I think positively lol
I’m now convinced that they are better versions of SuMo and not sequels.
The titles even have ultra rather than 2 and they said “alternate story”
Kinda disappointed,but SuMo was good and this looks too be better.
It should be on the switch,but gf even released bw2 when the 3ds was out so this isn’t anything unusual. Plus it’s probably easier and quicker to make this game by reusing assets.. i think.
Kinda odd they showcased all this now Rather than e3 tho
Hmmm not a sequel is disappointing.
However alternate story can be very interesting
Make Kukui the bad guy and Lusamine the professor and i am down
… that’s probably not what they meant.
But maybe actually expand on ultra space,team skull,and other characters and I’m down
Yeh, it’s probably not what they meant, but you have to admit it would be interesting.
I think I’m the only one here who likes Ultra Solgaleo… :/
Youre not alone i like it too
(Sigh) That’s good.
I like it. in the illustration it looks kind of cute
It’s awesome
Kurusu likes it as well
you should really notice the difference between the official art of Solgaleo (which looks amazing) and the in game one (terrible), that’s why it should be on the Switch
A lot of Pokemon don’t match their official art.
I think it looks fine in game tbh
It seems perfectly fine in game imo
I don´t understand Nintendo repeating the same B2W2 formula…
let´s see if the plot and the additions are convincing…
To be fair, the B2W2 formula was groundbreaking when first introduced.
True. Everyone flipped when they outright said they weren’t doing a grey version so the B2W2 formula was a big shock.
These games aren’t actually a part 2, though. Oddly, these are petty much remakes.
AND we have E3 a week from today (with other conferences even earlier). We’re probably getting Super Mario Odyssey and Pokémon USUM within a few days from each other. This has been, and will be, a fantastic year for Nintendo.
Guys are you thinking Z-Move for Lycanroc or Totem?
Totem
Totem and new form
Why not both?
I could see it being either or tbh
Totem, Z move, new form and Smash
They better revamp the music or else!!
I think Alola’s music is fitting from an objective viewpoint, but holy fuck
New music please
Especially new route themes, the ones we had felt repetitive after a while
Night versions of them
Bang instantly less boring
Just like in DP
?
?
?
?
?
?
If they remake dp they better keep the soundfont
Probably they wont tho
Or have the original sounfont as an option like in HGSS atleast
Komala evolution
Kalos needed a third version more than sumo..
No Kalos sucks
That’s exactly why.
They should have linked it with zinnia and the delta episode.
More az and war stuff as well
I also mean that X and Y sucks
So did DP and RS before their third versions
Ruby Sapphire are my favorite pkmn games and dp make it up for with the music (and nostalgia)
And of course, make AZ Floette and Light of Ruin legit.
Good thing it isn’t third versions but third and forth versions :p
Revamped story means… good story … FOR GUZMA
Has anyone else noticed that this is sort of like an alternate DIMENSION for Sun and Moon? Huh, I wonder which Pokémon could be responsible for such a thing.
NECROZMAAA
I think Necrozma the Pokémon who responsible for Z-stone we have many clues of that.
How?
Please expand on Zygarde pls
At least we have the anime :/… Does that count…?
Does the anime ever count?
Zygarde’s Anime story and appearance were amazing
We all can dream.
But seriously it has so much potential
We’re only five months away from release (which makes sense because this isn’t a whole new generation). So when will we get the all-important box art?
I think any time between now and E3 tbh
Yeah, I think next week as well.
E3
Yay since its reboots we pretty get a lot of info before games release
http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml
you can see the official art of Solgaleo and Lunala here, not sure if it counts but it looks good
The official art for Ultra Solgaleo and Lunala are on the official sight right now. Dont know if it will be the same art on the box tho
Tbh i would like pkmn usum more if they had camera controls
The wording on the Nintendo UK website is weird, not once does it mention which console Pokémon Ultra Sun and Moon are being released on.
Nintendo UK
“During Pokémon Direct, viewers also saw the first footage from the newest titles in the Pokémon series, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon. Two new Pokémon forms were shown resembling that of the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and Lunala. Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon have been powered up with new additions to the story and features from Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon are scheduled to release worldwide on November 17th, 2017. More information about the games will be revealed later this year.”
I still didn’t understand Y GF skipped Z game ….did they want to test something?
Because they also know that X and Y are the worst games
Definitely not.
Probably just anniversary rushing it.
They can make some Millions $ with some developing y how could they refuse that?
Because if you don’t have time to develop you’ll make a shitty game and tarnish your reputation
Probably rushing for the 20th anniversary tbh
What I love about Ultra Solgaleo is that it looks somewhat like a griffin now. And I’ve always wanted myself a griffin Pokemon so bad, so now I’m pretty satisfied with U-Solgaleo fitting that role in a sense.
Guys what if Togedemaru is a totem 😮
0:
Totemdemaru
Since this is a reboot, do you guys think there will be anything changing in the Pokemon League?
Like Plat changed the gym order, because it was HORRID n DP, but what about USUM? New Totems? Mina actually having a Trial? Improved Trial??
No trails.
They bring back gyms.
I think that there’s going to be new trials, like the Lycanroc and Togedemaru cutscenes point towards new trials from what I’ve seen. Then again, it could be regular cutscenes so I’m not entirely sure
Those scream Z move candidates to me
Especially Mimikyu
I don’t think so for Toge tbh, it looks to be in a building
Maybe totem pokemon would actually be owned by the trial captain? thus adding a more “gym like” feel.
Does anyone else see that that last clip of the player is in a much higher quality than the rest of the trailer? Because tPCI seems to love to throw in little hints like that and it was honestly the first thing I noticed
i thought it was just a cut scene thing, but if you’re right and it’s a hint i’ll be hyped again for this
I considered that too but if I recall, the cutscenes couldnt get that good good HD treatment, the 3DS can’t handle it.
don’t get my hopes up man aaaaaaaaaah
Maybe it’s the intro, remember that SM had a high quality intro
Serebii has posted that this game is listed with a switch release date of “to be announced” but then it was deleted… probably a clip from the switch version 🙂
I had seen a photo of um with the switch switch as TBA
Alright since this is an alternate version of Sun and Moon as well as being enhanced, I will say this:
MAKE THE POST-GAME ACTUALLY BIG AND BRING BACK THE BF
Battle Frontier is overrated ?
WHAT
jk it’s fine if you don’t like it
PWT is better tbh.
2nd region too. Let Morimoto direct.
Oh yeah this too. Hopefully we can go to Kalos so we can finish it up.
That’s been my dream since Sun and Moon were announced 🙁 Couriway Town….sigh
.__.
we have not had any big post game since Pokemon B2&W2
i’ve lost hope
RBY and RS both had terrible post games but were followed by games with great ones
Usually the third games in a gen have the most expansive post-games in Pokemon, so I’m hopeful about this one.
I never really got the big deal about post games.
GSC and HGSS were the only ones to live up to the post game hype.
but then they realized that adding a second region when they can just do a remake is more games sold, which is sad for us fans
Did you see how compressed Kanto was
i realize it’s a bit unreasonable to do 2 regions but a guy can dream
The only reason we even got two regions in one game was by a miracle.
Not really.
Also, Johto is the only to ever do the combined regions thing.
It is currently noted that The Pokémon Company International’s press site is listing Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon as being on the Nintendo Switch with a “To Be Announced” date. It’s currently unclear if this means they will come out on Nintendo Switch in the end but we’ll provide all details as and when they come. They have since deleted this note.
they deleted the note to crush the hopes of thousands.
Well, to crush the hopes of Switch owners anyways.
i’m not a switch owner and i was sad
Why if you don’t own a Switch?
because imagine an HD Pokemon game man, it’s really a dream for all Pokemon fans. i’ll buy a switch just for that
Meh, Pokemon has never been about flashy graphics.
It’s whole existence started on the end of the Gameboy’s lifespan, with all the limitations that it entailed.
But if you don’t even have the system why be sad about it?
I’m a Switch owner and I’m happy, I can’t really take it anywhere like I can my 3DS
Two possibilities:
1. It was a mistake, just an error.
2. It was a mistake, which detailed a Switch version before E3.
i just don’t understand why they want to keep it a secret until E3
Gotta have something for E3.
It’s all about dat hype.
please be true :'(
