A poster for the upcoming games Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon has revealed some small details or hints about the titles. It is currently being used as advertising in Japan.
In it you can see that Lillie carries a Pokéball—she had aspired to be a trainer in the original Pokémon Sun & Moon games, but never truly had a Pokémon of her own. This suggests that she will have a somewhat different role this time around and may be a trainer herself now.
There are also several mysterious figures in the back which may be new looks for familiar characters or new ones entirely.
Twitter follower Dee shared a nice enhanced version that makes it easier to see them from a Japanese account, which we have included below:
Looks intriguing, no?! I think the art struck a very epic tone and now let’s just hope the games live up to it!
I would love for they aether foundation characters besides lusamine to shine in the story, maybe with a role in alola’s ecosystems instead of a focus on ultra beasts. Idk wishful thinking
IM SO EXCITED FOR THESE GAMES NOW
I really want these games to be good. I strongly believe that they won’t just be cash grabs and will actually bring worthy content to the series, much like B2W2. Less than 2 months now, regardless.
*HAPPY SCREAMS*
Ok but I know y’all see lillie holding a Pokeball and honestly that alone gets me super pumped! It’s gonna be awesome to see her as a real trainer 😀
Is this confirmed to be real yet though?
Oh it does seem to be confirmed. Hard to fake the boxes in a store as well. So yeah interesting things are indeed on this poster. Very interesting indeed. Along with new UBs. USUM are starting to finally try to excite people. Hah.
I love how Deci and Prim look so cool here
Inci Looks just as cool
He’s being shoved to the bottom like he doesn’t matter
appropriately
Not really, It’s a triangle. The Triforce of Alola.
Okay this is actually pretty exciting! Lillie holding a pokeball is nice. Hopefully it means she doesn’t go to kanto in this one. Wonder what her Pokémon will be. I am assuming alolan vulpix and maybe the final starter Pokémon. And those mysterious figures really have me intrigued. Wonder who they are. Hopefully we find out soon!
And I already said this in the weekly roundup when I shared the picture earlier but I absolutely love incineroars artwork in this! Then again it is my favorite fire type so that probably causes that somewhat.
I really hope she’ll be an Ice type specialist
Didn’t think of her being an ice type specialist. That could be interesting.
That’s the only type specialist not introduced in Gen 7 and her anime pokemon and her design match that type
That is very true. Didn’t think of that actually. It is kind of weird all the types got a specialist except for ice.
Sina
If she doesn’t have Alolan Vulpix then I would be very surprised, especially since they seem to want to link to the anime more with stuff like Ash-Greninja and Duskanroc.
Probably It’d evolve at some point in the game
Oh yeah it’d have to. I hope she does in the anime too but I feel it may go the way of Dawns’ Piplup.
That’s the reason alolan vulpix actually came to my mind actually.
It will be interesting to see if the team she has in the game would have any further bearing on her anime captures too.
I just had a thought what if her team consisted of only alolan form pokemon? They could introduce more to USUM. Would be very interesting I think. And maybe just one non Alolan form with her getting the final starter.
That could be interesting, especially if there are new ones. I do wonder if she’ll get a full team of 6, and what relation to Nebby she’ll have this time.
I am guessing she will be a lot more protective now since she’s a trainer. It’s honestly funny how this poster leaking has gotten me somewhat excited for USUM finally lol and I really hope we get some new alolan forms in this game. Would love to get some jotho ones to coincide with the vc games
We do see the scene at Aether with a sick Alolan Vulpix, it is probably Lillie’s.
I really wanna hang this poster on my wall
Hopefully it is released outside Japan, or maybe you can find it on ebay or similar.
Yeah
Maybe those are Ultra Space researchers from Aether, or scientists from the other underground labs on Aether Paradise, maybe the ones who worked on Type:Null?
I feel like the art alone raised my hype level for USUM lol
It definitely raises interesting questions which are always the best in terms of generating hype and changes to an established character and what that could potentially mean are also exciting so yeah.
It did it for me too lol literally like an hour or so ago I said I wasn’t that hyped for USUM then this poster pops up out of nowhere like randy Orton ?
More like John Cena. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uufq_PFXbpA
But it came out of nowhere and we can see it? You can’t see john cena lol
John Cena memes are more funny though.
Just curious, these protags seen in the poster, are they different from those of sun moon?
Yeah. Though I mean PCs being different isn’t a huge thing. It is an alternate dimension/reality so it does make some amount of sense as well thematically.
ok i was just wondering cuz i actually wasn’t the biggest fan of of the protag designs of sun and moon so i thought maybe they were different but i couldn’t tell
Female protag of SM was cute. But yeah these are two different designs. Which both looks cute though they look young rather than the older look we had been getting recently.
question, did you like the idea of customizable protags?
I kind of like the idea of having just one set thing and that these characters are their own person but that really isn’t the type of game Pokemon is, so I mean being able to customize your character does make some amount of sense and I don’t absolutely despise it.
You can always just go with the default so I don’t see a problem with it.
yeah but i just like the idea of a set character that everyone plays as.
I am right there with you, and when X/Y came around I was pretty unhappy, I’ve gotten used to it though.
Each to their own, I think the customisation is generally a very popular feature and most welcomed it. I mean we’ve always been able to choose our own names so that changes it up a bit too.
yeah thats true, customization is very popular so i guess thats where i dislike it. I always just go with the basic default
I guess it comes down to how you experience it. Some people like to be able to better represent themselves in games in order to feel like they are more part of it. Others like to become an entirely new character, separate from themselves. Personally I’m fine with both, though I do somewhat enjoy the customisation, and get annoyed by the lack of options. Though really without age, height and other such parameters there’s only so far your avatar can really represent your real life appearance or your ideal self.
Hard to represent your real life self when you are a more uh… rotund tall 22 year old male but eh. ;p
Yeah that’s what I mean, still I guess it’s part of the ‘child-friendly’ limitations.
Maybe.
Possibly just alt.versions, though could be a B2/W2 thing too.
Hype level increased by 1000
I loved sm so I’m ready for this!
I was lukewarm on SM but this seems to be making a lot of changes for the better for me personally alongside some more stuff to actually differentiate it from SM now that they are finally showing more 2 months out from release.
to what extent is this an alternate dimension? Lily appears to already have her alternate costume in the poster which i find odd
We don’t know much beyond the wording in the first announcement trailer that these are in an alternate Alola. As to her “Z-form” eh… *shrug* Could just be late game shot of her.
If Lillie has Type:Null this time and Gladion has Nebby then Gladion’s gonna have to go do some serious bag shopping.
These characters remind me of Team Galactic!!!
Not Plasma considering a certain somebody in the original games? Heh.
There was a thing back when SuMo was out that mentioned Nebby typically was a Pokémon seen near royalty
Perhaps that’s what the sillouettes are?
I don’t remember that? But it is more like they are more Aether peeps.
Found it
From the Pokémon website
“This extremely rare Pokémon is known to only a select few in Alola. At one time, it was known only by the kings of Alola and their heirs, and it was called “the child of the stars”
That makes me more curious about the royalty of Alola more than anything else. Isn’t Acerola a princess or something like that. Wonder what happened to her father.
I dunno… but it’s fair to tho think we may learn
Maybe.
does anyone know, does the pro controller for switch come with anything besides the controller and its wire? i want to make sure im not missing anything. does it come with some box that plugs into the wall and charges the controller?
It comes with the cable and the controller, nothing else.
HYPED
Actually there were many leaks who talked about a new evil team; some call it Team Rainbow, other said it was a revamped version of Team Rcket…apparently we will have new bad guys.
Those leaks are wrong and stupid.
Sugimori draws the Pokemon instead of the crappy SM artist, and this is what we get (rf) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5bc9c5aaf250b6685dc018af73da3c2c66709cd84c8c9192ad237ae1d6ec816b.png
The Sun Moon artist one isn’t THAT bad
He is perfect in this pic.
Do you think we will get an animated trailer for USUM in October/November like we did for BW2 and ORAS?
Well, it’s official deers, daddy’s getting a pacemaker.
Hopefully this’ll correct his condition
My Dragon Gorilla Fakemon (line) got designed! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/99558072dc1023e81b243ac845aebae891cee4733584233dce2401156aefb863.jpg
Any opinions?
Fighting/Dragon Gorilla? Why Dragon? 😛
Dragunz
Gorillas were considered mythical long time ago, so something something
what are the statues close to the vortex?
They look like redesigns of Aether admins, or they could something be else entirely because nobody knows.
