RUMOR: Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Details

by

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!

    • Fairy and Poison, have some of the most unique designs imo

      Ground, the designs don’t really pop out at me that much but I love a few of them

      Dragon is the one I like least, I don’t really hate any :0

    • Favourite Electric (Ice and Flying are second) because I always loved thunders, I love(d) ninjago and my favourite ninja was always Jay (the master of lightings) and I love technology and Electric type is the closest type to technology. The rest of types are okay. All have some good and some bad designs.

    • – Ghost: I really like most Mons on this type, the attacks are cool, and the concept of using ghosts as your companion is fascinating :0

      – Rock: Feels like a lesser version of Ground, the design of the Mons aren’t very good and it doesn’t have the power of the rocks like it should have.

      – I don’t hate any typing, like, why would I? lol

    • – Ghost – I think percentage-wise I like most Pokémon of this type
      – Rock – So forgettable
      – Psychic – I know a lot of you like this type, but I actually never use it because I dislike almost all Psychic types…

    • Ground: I am Earth incarnate
      Poison: never once wanted a specifically poison type ever
      Fairy: it has caused me literally nothing but constant trouble and i hope that it burns in the eternal lake of fire

  10. The Ubisoft conference definitely could have been worse. Miyamoto’s appearance at the beginning was awesome and, honestly, Mario and Rabbids has a gorgeous art style. I’ll be playing it for sure. There were others I’m interested in as well, but not as much. Now we have Sony coming up, and I hope they have an amazing conference planned. This E3 hasn’t been as exciting as past years to me, but Sony is always the one I watch closest (behind Nintendo). #DreamsIn2017

    • Finally somebody who thinks the same about the game’s art style! It looked so good giving me the impression of how good the switch’s graphics really are :0

      • I can’t even describe why I like it so much. It’s sort of cell-shaded but with a subtle white overtone and it just looks great. I know Super Mario Odyssey will look even better than that!

  11. According to Leaks that tie in with others:

    In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Moon the story begins with Trials in Alola and in the post-game 8 Gyms in Alola and the Champion is a Dark-type leader before heading to Kanto.

    In Pokémon Eclipse it is the opposite, the story begins with 8 Gyms in Kanto and ends in Alola with the Trials and Islands and the dark-type Champion.

    Sun and Moon hints at the Journey:
    “He moved here from the Kanto region — all the way across the ocean!”

    Alola to Kanto – Travel Way: Across the Sea

    Switch versions will get Exclusive Alolan forms not found in Ultra Sun and Moon.

  13. Let’s bet what will be the name of the anime series for USUM. Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon the series? Ultra Sun and Moon the series?

  15. Alright… It’s either Spearow or Hoppip for Route 33. I would be fine with either but Spearow is probably a better option since I lost both of my flying types that could learn fly

  16. – Who is your favorite Gym Leader?
    – Which Gym Leader do you forget about most of the time?
    – Which Gym Leader has the best Gym design?
