OBLIGATORY WARNING: Why do we post rumors? Because Pokémon fans love to talk about the latest gossip and they often give us new ideas about what we’d like to see in a future game or, perhaps, what we wouldn’t want to see. This information is always explicitly marked as a rumor in the post title and should never, never, never be shared as fact. Treat it as false until proven otherwise.
Our good friend JynxClub and Pokesan (of BMGf) have alerted English fans about new information that was posted before the Nintendo Direct that announced Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon aired on a Chinese fan forum. Remember that if you care about spoilers you may not want to read these rumors!
Without further ado, here is a translation of the post:
- Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon take place in an “alternate universe” than the one we explored in the original Sun & Moon. Chronologically, the new games take place a year after the first two.
- Alola has finally built its own Pokémon League, but the Champion is shrouded in mystery…
- There is a new organization, Rainbow, with some familiar faces in it.
- Lillie has a lot of surprises in store for us
Not too much to go on, but my curiousity has really been piqued by this alternate-universe-Alola we might get to explore!
Not buying this, these are all too vague that they could just be random guesses. You only have to guess the names right, and since there are millions of guesses out there, somebody will have to get it right eventually.
Yeah only real smoking gun is that it was posted before direct and they hinted at Ultra
Hmmm interesting but idk if I believe it or not
I hope it has new Pokemon not found in Sun and Moon
they already said (in the official release video/direct) there are pokémon we did not see in SM
Okay, Like new creatures themselves?
These are really ambiguous.
The “best” one is that Lillie has surprises for us when she is literally the most speculated about character. Now if it said, Lana or Wicke have many surprises for us I might have done a second-take. This just sound downright suspect tho.
I hope we find out Lillie is going to be a guest star on RPDR Season 10 personally
Lol. Pokemon contests are replaced by drag contests. My male Primarina’s got this.
Or:
What if it turns out Lillie is the new Champion?
It would be a nice “full circle” for her character development.
Not really excited about these two new games. Feels like a rushed attempt to make some bucks again on the same concept.
Hopefully they’ll prove me wrong.
Would’ve rather get Pokemon Star or Comet.
I would surely love to see some new Alolan forms. Didn’t the rumours of SM say Zubat and Dratini species were going to have an alolan variation?
Have not seen those but I’ll keep my eyes peeled
These are somee crazy vague rumors. LikeDont get me wrong they are awesome and I like this a lot, but most rumors state something pretty clear. Non the less this is great. So if it takes place a year afterward, does that mean the events of SM actually happened?
Not gonna lie then USUM were announced I was pretty bummed they decided to go back to what is seemingly a reg 3rd version…….However, the rumors that have been coming out have peaked my interest. I believe in addition to these rumors there were subsequent rumors about how the new forms we saw are NOT in fact forms for Solgaleo and Lunala, but in fact forms for Necrozma. And said new forms are actually just reflecting the shapes of aforementioned other Legends since Necrozma is all about prisms and light refraction. that idea REALLY spoke to me and if it’s real is actually a pretty cool idea.Either way we’ll just have to see.
That’s…….actually an awesome idea. O_____O
It would definitely be an unexpected.
That’s why I’m kinda really hoping these leaks are real. Sure they could still be very fake, but the ideas that come off them are pretty solid lol
If it’s an alternate universe….totally called it.
Ohimori will be in E3. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1497274408878.png
I would be excited, but I felt like he went to several events last year but there was really nothing revealed so I’m going to keep my expectations low.
Such vague speculations… They sound cool, but I expect this to be fake. It’s too soon for spoilers to be shared. Maybe E3 will give us new info tomorrow. Let’s hope it will! 🙂
There’s also CoroCoro. Hopefully both have new info for us…we’re hungry!
I guess CC will have the games’ announcement, but not much more. When do you think it will be leaked?
It could be anytime between now until Wednesday evening. So not too long.
Too soon for spoilers to be shared??? We got the starters final evolutions like 2 weeks after the starters were first revealed. At this point I’d say it being “too soon” is a bit of a silly reason for something to be fake lol That said who knows, this could very well be fake as many others that came before it.
stupid and fake
Same
so what are you doing this fine horrible day
I can’t wait until tomorrow.

The moment I saw “rainbow”, I instantly thought of this.
I wish they were more detailed tho, it’s like the rumour is giving us an advertisement of the game rather than give us specific details, also, taking two years after SM seems irrelevant due to the game taking place in an alternate dimension where things can be pretty different.
Well I just finished the Devolver Digital stream and boy was it an experience….. like if Satan ran a game company this would be it.https://youtu.be/JvNSFAejal8
I don’t know for sure, but this looks fake.
I’m sorry I don’t follow?… do you mean fake as in not a real game company? Or something else?
I meant it looked scripted, which it obviously is ;). It was sarcasm.
O My God, this might even be worse than the Konami’s E3 conference in 2010
But you know as weird as it is I found it oddly entertaining more so than all the other conferences this year. I think they were going for that cringy odd vibe. If so they definitely succeeded because this one will definitely be remembered.
As for these rumors we’ll hopefully see if they have any substance by tomorrow.
The alternate universe part, we’ve all figured it out already since they specifically said in the reveal that it was an alternate story. Now, if these rumours are true, why does the story happen a year after the originals? Alternate stories are supposed to happen in the same time period, just with different events. Stating they happen a year later sounds just like B2W2 to BW and as such, there would be no need for them to be alternate stories instead of simply being sequels.
Falsified and homosexual
Same
Fabrication https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/30dae5fd6bd1d907c418b1448d36aad7a86e8e95f8d54019a466fd91c77bbc03.png
Lol nice fan theory m8
Do you guys think we took “Alternate Story” way too literally?
Yes
Should have been Alternate Universe
I always just thought it was either another story or a third version tbh
It’s kinda turning into the new “IT ALL COMES TOGETHER”
Well tbf some things did come together in SuMo
Nothing close to all tho lop
everyone takes them way seriously
My pessimism keeps me pure
You’re as pure as a cinnamon roll
that got dropped into the dirt and raised as an angry mud monster
Well, every third title is an alternate story, but they seem to focus on it this time more
Still hoping for to be sort like a sequel, like that is started here (alt universe but set at a different time)
Seeing as we might get Totem Lycan, what if all the Kahunas get a Totem? Like
Well i don’t know about the Kahunas but i’d love to see a whole new series of Totem Pokemon
like Totem Crabominable in Lanakila
Totem Crabominable will be a cakewalk unless it gets like all stats + 2
Actually make that +3 actually its speed is dreadful lol
it would still be cool
I’d take a battle with Totem Alo Sandslash or Totem Alo Ninetales in the hail, Snow Cloak and Slush Rush would make that so cool and if the Ninetales could spam Aurora Veil and Blizzard it’d be ??
Because the Kahunas weren’t challenging enough :p
If that’s the case, rip.com to me
Ok i’m sick of bulky stall NU teams my second account is dropping like a sack of wet bricks
Stall is my life tbh
you disgusting lowlife
Some of us can use strategy 😉
my strategy is not focusing on so many walls and set ups and just cuts to nailing the opponent with strong attacks
