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!

        • We’ll find out later, I suppose. It was probably meant to just look cinematic for the trailer anyway. I’m not jumping to that conclusion just yet, the game has me pretty hyped so far.

          • Looks good to me as well. Wait, so does Sony do an E3 livestream this week like Nintendo, or is this it? I’m wondering if we’ll see any more.

          • It isn’t MH and the rumours preceding the game don’t bode well for it. Kinda 50/50 on it. Would be great if it turns out good, but I’m not exactly sure of that.

          • Just because it’s different doesn’t mean it’s necessarily DOA. While I do see where your concern comes from, I’m not worried about it. Supposedly true MH is gonna continue on Nintendo systems anyway, so if it turns out to be meh, it shouldn’t be a big deal. Regardless, I thought the game looked neat.

          • That’s my opinion also, and I hoped for something fresh and good, but this has left me really disappointed. Mind you I have a PS4 so this isn’t about me not being able to play the game.

          • No I totally get what you’re saying, but I just think it’s too early to jump to any conclusions. Who knows?

          • Nah, the rumours said the game would be like this, that’s why I’m not really hyped for it. It distances itself from fighting the monsters and instead relies on this… I don’t know how to put it.

  1. I’d rate the conference B. Everything shown was quite good, good pacing, but nothing really stood out and no (big) surprise announcements. So, just good. But nothing really amazing.

        • Pretty great trailer over all, and reading into it looks pretty good. It seems like its a bit more of a focus on open world and the fact that Monsters will actively fight against eachother now certainly will make things more interesting. Now to see how Japan responds to it. I can’t recall if they’ve received it yet, but the general tone before E3 seemed to be pretty lukewarm with them. Perhaps this is meant to be Capcom’s attempt at winning over new western fans?

  3. Definitely underwhelmed by Sony’s conference. Very light on surprises, although some of them hit right at home (Shadow of the Colossus though!) But it definitely wasn’t a bad conference, because the games they have down the pipeline are going to be incredible. This is definitely a transitional year, because most of the time they were just showing new trailers for old games and slapping “2018” on them. Also, NO DREAMS AGAIN! I SWEAR TO GOD MEDIA MOLECULE…

  4. All things considered, this has probably been the worst E3 in the last few years. Lack of many surprises left me super disappointed, although I hope Nintendo can come out of nowhere and retain their dominance in the gaming world. This is Nintendo’s year for sure!

  5. Honest opinion: I was more excited by Microsoft’s conference than Sony’s conference AGAIN, for the second year in a row. However, I still think that Ubisoft did a better job than either of them in terms of a big reveal at the beginning and the end. Now it’s Nintendo’s turn to see if 25 minutes is enough to blow everyone else out of the water. Animal Crossing will do that for me, Metroid for others, but I’m pretty confident that tomorrow will be a great day.

    • I think part of the problem it that Sony showed a lot of stuff they had previously showed. sure there may have been some new stuff here and there, but their main staples were previously announced titles. And in some cases boring titles at that

      • Microsoft left me thinking “Hey, Xbox One X and Anthem is something that I actually want to experience”, which makes me think about the potential of the future. Sony left me saying…okay…I decided I would buy these games 12 months ago and my opinion hasn’t changed. Oh, but there’s even MORE games next year! (Which isn’t a bad way to do it, it’s just…less dramatic).

    • To me, Microsoft’s conference was fine – but it didn’t have the effect they probably wanted to because I’ll just get half of the games they showed on PS4 or PC instead. Nothing made me want to buy an Xbox. Sony’s conference this year wasn’t their greatest (last year’s was too amazing) but I still had fun watching it, the Spiderman game looks great.
