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!
Guys should I nuzlocke too? :0
Eww I accidently up voted my own comment
I feel dirty
That’s nothing, you feel even dirtier when you accidentally down vote other comments
I miss when Disqus actually allowed that
yee
too bad you just played Soul Silver though… we could do it at the same time 😮
Nah I’m still going through SS as a side thing
I should do plat tho, Gen IV for life
Platinum is insanely hard though. I’m doing BW after Soul Silver maybe you could do gen 5
I’ve been wanting to replay W2 For a while XD
play a extremely obscure game boy color game
while wearing silly wigs
Oh or a monotype of one of my least favourite types :0

Fuq no
So a poll about USUM
Do you think the box art Pokemon are
Necrozma forms or
Solgaleo and Lunala forms?
I still think that they’re Solgaleo and Lunala forms
Second. I think Necrozma will also get a more powerful form as well
I honestly hope they’re Necrozma forms. I really like the idea of them being reflections of Solgaleo and Lunala rather than Necrozma fusing with them or them taking pieces of Necrozma
What if Rockruff will get two new evolutions (maybe Rock/Psychic influenced by Necrozma?) and it’ll be your starter?
A little bit like Pikachu in Yellow
Its not. Its going to be Popplio, Litten and Rowlett we already saw it
What?
In the trailer
What trailer?
The like >20 sec preview in the direct
Oh I thought Star meant the starters are getting new forms my bad
It could be the opposite gender protagonist as the rival, maybe he took all three starters before you moved into the region? There would still be one left: Kukui’s stray Rockruff that lives with him but was never caught (it’s an alternative story to SM)
And if the new Rockruff evo was Rock/Psychic all three final evos f starters would be effective against it, so it would be hard.
Mario and rabbids!
Nooo I could’ve gotten a Wooper >:(
YES MARIO AND RABBIDS
woah Miyamoto’s english isnt that bad
I feel like it’s gotten better in the recent years.
Joining the Nuzlocke train! Choo choo!
what game
Still deciding
On the plus side it looks like Mario and rabbids isn’t going to be in Nintendo’s presentation :p
Thank. God.
*Arceus
Spare them the humility and dishonaroo
😀
I am from Nintendo.We are replacing all franchise characters with Rabbids to cut costs. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon will be no different.
Just making sure… Onix and Geodude CAN be found in Ruins of Alph in the smashed rocks right?
Nah I think it’s just Geo
just Geodude
You can just get onix from a trade in violet city
oh thats riiight… but I kinda want Bellsprout
Catch another yo
Cant. Dupes Clause
So trade your current and then catch another? Or does that still count? And you can always bend the rules, not like it’s a binding agreement or anything
meh. Geodude is better than Onix anyways
Steelix >>>> Golem though
truuu but I doubt Onix would last that long anyways
It’d last longer than geodude… 😛
and you couldn’t name onix
Gonna start a Plat Nuzlocke, theme? I’ll go with gemstones if you guys can’t decide :
They said “jump game” instead of platformer. xD
Guys for my Nuzlocke
Chimchar, Turtwig or Piplup?
PIPLUP
Chimchar
Turtwig
Ooh even so far :00
but I think piplup won cause star used caps lock
If it stays even by the time I get to starter select I’ll use the wheel decide :p
Chimchar
Looks like Chimchar is gonna win! 😀
Chim because even with platinum the fire types are spread thin
Piplup
Update
Badges 3
Nidoking 25

WHY
Seraph help me pls
I just died inside
Ok I got Geodude. I’m naming her Laverne unless someone has a better name?
I’m gonna do Pokemon white
Use Tepig :0
OSHAWOTT
About that ;3
This rabbids game actually looks fun but like… the rabbids really make me uninterested.
It might be a great game
The graphics look nice and it has lots of personality it seems but just.. Rabbids… whyyy
They don’t seem that annoying this time
The battle gameplay looks neat.
Ikr for a Mario and rabbids crossover and the graphics looks good
Hey guys what is your preferred Regional Rodent in a Pokemon game?
(Except Yungoos)
Furret
Yungoos
Furret or Diggersby
Bunnelby
Well, Zigzagoon is hands down the cutest one, there is nothing anyone will ever say to disprove this. It’s a fact. BUT, I think Bibarel is the most useful one. Linoone is occasionally fun on an Emerald playthrough, but generally I think they’re all utterly useless.
https://68.media.tumblr.com/bf654fbda46c5ad7f03851bb15e7eef9/tumblr_nxppgwRHZg1r8sc3ro2_500.gif
Linoone gets Pickup, that’s the main reason I’d pick it over Bibarel. Bibarel has better battle abilities though.
Yep, this is generally my reasoning. But if you factor in the actual game though, Bibarel is probably the greatest HM slave, which you actually will need unless you give up move slots
Bidoof
Mario+Rabbids looks fun, but its not something i’m dying to buy
Not amiibo?
I had a feeling they weren’t
Betting that’s coming tomorrow
No, I mean that the figures were just called “figures”
Oh, still betting on it
Guys how would you feel if I themed my Nuzlocke after PokeJungle members! :00
Im the Giratina
I thought you’d be the Lopunny ?
I’m both
Get you a girl who can do both
yay
I’m a Bibarrel on all level except physical
unless you can catch a Cranidos there’s very little that represent me
You do realise Ryhorn, Gible and Hippopotas are all good chances right?
those will take a while
As Long as I can be a Water type or Sneasel sure!
That’s a fantastic idea:0
I’d be ArceusYAAAAAAAAAAS
I think they wanted to use AC/DC’s Back in Black but couldnt get the rights to use that song for this trailer
