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!
Am I the only one having trouble watching GameXplain’s videos lately? Both their E3 discussion and the Mario and Rabbids discussion end up in an endless buffer, while other videos are fine.
I only ever watched the one linked on here recently with 5 minutes of advertising t-shirts and backpacks in it.
Did it confirmed that we have USUM news at E3?
It’s not confirmed but it’s likely
We’re dealing with the exact same timeframe as Sun/Moon last year (5 months until release), so there’s no reason why we shouldn’t get some gameplay and small announcements. Last year they revealed the regional mammal, bird, etc.
Yeah I still remember it like it yesterday.
I like the sound of these rumours. I wasn’t a big fan of US/UM being an alternate story, but if it’s set chronologically later so the League is already set up and Gladion and Lillie are in a different situation than in S/M, then I’ll be way more excited to play it. Also I’m guessing Ryuki will be the champion?
I’m hoping we’ll get some new Pokemon, but I’m doubtful they’ll come this early if at all.
It would make my day if there was and it was good.
So I’ve been thinking. What do people think the first real info for USUM will be? Like going beyond the new legend forms and general stuff we know in some form about already. What’s the first NEW thing they’ll show that’s not more or less set up info?
I think they’ll go headfirst into the Johto Alolan forms, then after that go into details about how story elements and characters have changed.
Interesting. I think they do also need to start off with something eye catching. Just showing off some slight character changes would prolly be too slow of a start lol

Now I’m going to watch a movie and then head to bed before the big day. I’m excited!
All sounds good, but I would probably through in Fire Emblem Warriors trailer, and maybe a teaser for Fire Emblem Switch given the series is huge right now. That and maybe Pikmin 4 would be safe guesses.
Love the Pikmin series. They never let me down. Unlike the Pokemon franchise nowadays. I am also saying this out of my concern for the franchise. They need to spruce up the effectiveness chart, fix the damage they made on my favorite Pokemon (moves, types, and abillities), and make better legendary Pokemon for Gen VIII.
I’m certain there will be a Metroid teased. Reggie has been talking about it lately and its about damn time
They already teased us about Metroid Prime 4.

I like this
other than the no metroid part
Okay yeah they can announce that too 😉
Ya know with all the stuff from PS4, there’s one thing that I actually did miss, and kinda feel bad about. Undertale’s coming to the PS4 with physical copies and a collectors edition which has a music-box locket. I know their show was kinda short this year, but I’m kinda surprised that they just slipped that in before the main show given it’s probably going to make them a lot of money.
I NEED THAT LOCKET

i teared up when i saw this. this freaking game gives me so many emotions.
While Battlefront and Spider-man look AMAZING (still salty SM is a PS4 exclusive), I think Nintendo can easily steal the show tomorrow! Let’s hope they actually announce games people want. Metroid, *cough* Animal Crossing *cough* , some details on USUM, Mario Odyssey stuffs. They need to start off strong and keep that Switch hype rolling
Spider-man looks amazing.
It’s a shame it’s PS4 exclusive. Like seriously, why?
I’ll probably be investing in the new Xbox as well!
Spider-man is such a huge money maker, you’d think they’d want to capitalize on that by making it cross-platform 🙁
Haven’t seen anyone speak about it but CoroCoro has leaked/is leaking and it’s just revealing Soul-Stealing Seven Star Strike? Like I’m not surprised tbh but I know some peeps aren’t going to be happy
Some fakemon before the nintendo newsplosion
Gitreeffe
Grass
The small giraffe pokemon
They eat the leafs of short trees. Their diet caused their skin to turn green. They can plant trees by touching ground with their ossicone.
Evolves at level 32 into
Raffebow
Grass/Fairy
The Rainbow Giraffe Pokemon
As their necks grew they got access to taller trees. One of the trees, called “the rainbow tree” gave them light controlling powers. Their ossicone are called “life-giving weapons”.
This is nice I like it!
“Mysterious Champion”. Red again? Leaf this time? LILLIE!?
“New organization called Rainbow with familiar faces on it”. I’m gonna make a super wild guess and say it has characters from every game.
Hopefully it happens and Pokémon SPECIAL FINALLY gets to have another reunion with all main characters, perhaps to finally defeat Saque, the loose end villain who vanished after Gen IV and last time she was seen, she was being chased by Mewtwo and had a beef with the Dex Holders.
I was thinking the mysterious champion could be Ryuki. He has to be involved in US/UM in some role anyway. Guess he could just be a rival instead though.
I would love this!!!
I have already said it before that I would keep my distance from Sun and Moon. There fore I would not give a shit about Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Though I have to admit, some of the girls did make it on my list of waifus, even Acerola (heart eyes).
That a child
after what happened with stars, I don’t think we should even have a sliver of trust in rumors
serebii posted an announcement was made of a nintendo switch main pokemon game being confirmed to be in the works (in addition to ultra sun/moon, so will probably be revealed next year). so stars might still happen yet! bear in mind “pokemon stars” was just its codename so if that turns out to not be its name that doesn’t make it false
So, there’s another Chinese Riddler?
The first dot was confirmed by GameFreak right or was the leaker just using what GF has already said?
