RUMOR: Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Details

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!

  2. AAAAAAND just like that,my run is over. Great! Just GReat.
    I accidentally closed all my ‘tabs’ to my phone to open apps, and when it does that it closes the file. When I try to reopen the file. Instead of pressing load on the opening screen I pressed save, so when tried to press the file with my game on it, I accidentasaved over it. Ergo, my nuzlocke is gone. GG World GG.

  3. I think it would be cool if the champion is the characters from S/M. Like if you are playing US you will fight the boy (Sun) and in UM you will fight the girl (Moon). Please don’t make Hau the champion. And if they are not a year later, for example, please don’t make him our rival I really did not like him 🙁

  4. I can get behind the idea that this AU takes place one year later. Given the release date of the game, it makes sense. it would be like if our journey through Alola hadn’t started til then.

  5. So I’m considering doing a Blue Ground run just for fun and how does this sound
    Nidoking
    Nidoqueen
    Sandslash
    Dugtrio
    Marowak
    Rhydon

    Getting the Nidos are fairly easy just need to make sure I evolve them before 23 to learn Thrash and Body Slam (but that’s usually when I get to misty)
    Sandshrew lacks any good moves and may have to resort to giving it the one and only Dig
    Cubone always come equipped with Bone Club so that helps
    And lastly Rhydon will take the longest out of the group

  6. How funny would it be if Guzzlord ends up the strongest cannonical UB considering how bad it is?

  7. I drew a new profile pic for myself, but it turns out Disqus hates me because it became sh*tty quality the moment I saved it as the prof pic. (The quality of the picture not how badly I draw)

  9. I feel like I shouldn’t be using an Action Replay to level up my pokemon in a nuzlocke but I’m not leveling up 6 pokemon in Heart Gold early game. Fuck no
