Game Informer Reveals New Ultra Sun & Moon Details

by

Game Informer had an interesting interview with Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda about the history of the Pokémon series and its future. They’ve shared most of what they learned, except for news about the upcoming titles Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon. Finally they’ve shown us a new feature in the upcoming games, Alola Photo Club!

You:’ll be able to take custom pictures with your Pokémon, both inside and outside the photo studio. As the game progresses, more features will be unlocked for your photos.

What do you think?? Has the recent deluge of news whet your appetite? Personally I think this could be a great way to share your training online via social media!

  5. So I bought the first two volumes of the Pokemon Adventure manga. I’ve always wanted to read them, but buying manga is always a drain on the bank and it’s typically easier to just find it online somewhere. That said the Pokemon manga are kind of hard to fin so I figured I’d give it a try in the real deal. I’m most interested in the GSC stuff, but I figured I’d try and read all of RBGY first since it’s a continuous story.

    • I still need to beat P5……I got to the 3rd dungeon (I think?), played a pretty decent amount of of it, and then got really busy and haven’t found the will to dive back in….I almost wish it was on the Vita as well so I could pick it up and play as my leisure rather than having to boot up my PS4 and sit down in front of my tv to play. What made P4G so great was the freedom to play anywhere and anytime. I’m still enjoying what I’ve played of it, but need to find the time now. It;s just such a long game with a lot of emotional investments to make lol

  16. I am convinced that this is Kartana’s Ultra Space
    The little orange dot is Kartana, its glowing and moving in the trailer. Kartana is a Grass type, this is a forest with the leaves having a similar shape as Kartana.

    There are no Chinese style forests in SM nor any on the USUM map.
    That one person in the image is probably a Faller. Guzma and Lusamine lived in Ultra Space too, albeit for a short period, but anything’s possible.

    Nihilego’s Ultra Space was a rocky and crystallized cavern, this is a similar layout but obviously forest themed so its Kartana’s, or possible Celesteela but i highly doubt that.

    Given that we have version exclusive UBs, I’d say each game will have 5 of these Ultra Space ”corridors” https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/121344c37c4e375662e689ab11ac3ce6ad60d5ea44b4f2dd4a0d1424337ea580.jpg

    • My ideas for the Alolan trio were

      Decidueye
      B: Spirit Shackle: Standard Ranged charge you cannot store the shot and release in a different spot but those hit by it will be immobilized for a solid second
      Side: Leaf Blade: a wide multi slashing attack that can be chained together
      Up B: Brave Bird: a fire fox esque propel
      Down B: Sucker Punch: a counter

      Incineroar
      B: Fire Fang: He lunges forward and bites the opponent down
      Side B: Darkest Lariat: he swings and spins forward trapping multiple people in his animation
      Up B: Acrobatics: he performs a leaping somersault bouncing off opponents
      Down B: Bulk Up: he glows red as he flexes causing him to deal more damage and have reduced knock back

      Primarina
      B: Sparkling Aria: sends out a bubble bomb that travels forward and bursts
      Side B: Double-slap: a flurry of open flipper smacks
      Up B: Water Pledge: Surges upward on a column of water
      Down B: Disarming Voice: a short sound wave that disables those struck

  18. Wait… I just fought of something… what if in pokemon switch/USUM we get pokemon Amiibo that unlock clothes/hairstyles/accesories? Like in splatoon squids/kids can unlock outfits, here it would be pokemon

  20. Ok. I strongly believe the forest is Kartna Ultra space. Now, considerations about that:

    – If this Ultra space is as big as Nihilego’s GF could have spent its time better building a proper battle frontier. “Our world is huge, other worlds are cave-like size” Wtf?
    – People are seen in the forest. Could this mean that at least we have to fight someone to get UBS? Let’s hope so, at least it’s five minutes longer to play. What pokemon do they use/, only Kartana lives in Kartana’s Ultra Space? Assuming that the “Wha if” dimension of USUM is not that different from SM, maybe it’s wih other dimensions that Gf decided to introduce new Alola Forms?
    – If we have to travel to other dimensions to find UBs maybe UBs never came to our world, maybe all the Lusamina/Llie/Cosmog plot is gone and all is now related to Necrozma? Cause doing an entire plot around UBs menace just to open other portals and risking another invasion is just stupid. Now we become the invaders?

    • Maybe, but I could see them doing something earlier in September. I think going forward we’ll receive more consistent news on the games.

    • Unless they decide to show something in a Nintendo Direct, which I am guessing will be sometime this week due to the pokken demo, xenoblade and fire emblem not having dates, new arms character coming really soon, lack of new maps in splatoon 2, ect. Im hoping for news in a nintendo direct.

  22. Just for fun: If there was a pokemon league that we all were a part in, what would be your team? What would be your story? Who would be your partner? What region would you be from (doesn’t have to be the clostest region to your rl country/city)?

    I would be a trainer from Alola named Hubert, that moved there when he was little.
    His starter was a litten
    He caught a pichu before his first trial
    after his first trial he found a Grubbin egg
    Pichu evolved during the water trial
    Litten evolved into Torracat after battling with Totem Salazzle
    Before the grass trial he caught an Alolan Grimer that was stealing his trash
    In Lush Jungle he met an Oranguru that joined him
    He bought a thunder stone for Pikachu (and used it)
    Grubbin finally evolved before fighting Totem Vikavolt
    After the ghost trial he caught a Stufful
    Grimer evolved defending Stufful from a Garbodor
    His Torracat evolved
    He found a Psychium Z when he got lost in the desert, Oranguru helped him find the exit
    Charjabug evolved in Vast Poni Canyon
    He found an Aloraichium Z after beating the last trial
    He decided to fight the international league (where you’d all be)
    He challenged Guzma and won a bugium Z from him and Poisonium Z from Plumeria
    Kukui gave him Incinium Z as a goodbye present
    Stufful evolved before Huberet entered the league
    The final team:
    Inci with Incinium Z (partner)
    AloRaichu with Aloraichium Z
    Vikavolt with Bugium Z
    AloMuk with Poisonium Z
    Oranguru with Psychium Z
    Bewear with Fightium Z

    • That’s awesome. I’ve gotten some pretty decent pulls form single packs from Burning Shadows. I usually open up boxes and other stuff for my YouTube Channel, but I’ve taken a few weeks off of that so I can save some money and just focus on real life stuff lol

    • After i lost my previous job six months ago, i’ve had luck to find about this superb website that was a life saver… make $85 every hour and get paid at the end of each week …They offer online home-based work. My last month check after working with them for 3 months was $12000… Amazing thing about it was that only requirement for the job is basic typing and reliable internet…
