  1. Regardless of already having a complete collection, it’s a good thing I got Sun and then am going for Ultra Moon. Hopefully there are two each of Burst and Assembly so I can get Burst in my UM.

    Don’t care too much for Dusk Mane. Unless something comes along like the DNA Splicers for both games, then it wouldn’t matter.

  3. Does anyone else like the contrast between Necrozma’s and Kyurem’s formes?

    Necrozma
    – Keeps Necrozma’s ability
    – Keeps the host’s type
    – Implied to be unnatural: design clashes as host and victim are still distinguishable.
    – However, it appears stable in a design sense: symmetrical and sleek
    – Speculative: Necrozma attempting to regain something of its own, perhaps its own true form. It’s merely using Solgaleo and Lunala as means to an end.

    Kyurem
    – Keeps the hosts’ abilities
    – Keeps Kyurem’s type
    – Natural, yet incomplete: Kyurem was never just fused to one of the dragons so it naturally looks unstable
    – However, it appears physically unstable, and they are the least parallel Pokémon designs by far – these fusions are incomplete and require their last third to be stable.
    – Kyurem is attempting to regain something of its own: its original identity. However, it requires Reshiram and Zekrom. They are the end goal, as they are the thing it’s looking to regain.

  4. Man, screw it. I was originally thinking about buying just Ultra Sun but now I think I’ll still buy both versions again. There’s a new version exclusive pokémon and now that it’s confirmed some legendaries will appear, they’re probably going to make some of them version exclusive too. Plus, if these games really have the most content of all 3DS games, it’s worth buying both to get everything that might be exclusive to one version or the other. And I also like the possibility of being able to restart one of them if I need to while keeping the other untouched.

  5. btw, according to an Eurogamer interview, Move Tutors are confirmed to be in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and you use the points you get from Mantine Surf to pay for them.

  6. The Battle Frontier will be replaced by the Mantine Frontier where you ride Mantine in six unique ways

    Mantine Volcano – Ride on Lava, twist is you die if you fall off

    Mantine Poach – You and Mantine are being shot at

    Mantine Double – Ride on one Mantine per foot

  7. Starting to think I want to Wing it in Ultra Sun, but my pre-game team I want is

    Incineroar
    Dusk Lycanroc
    Mantine
    Shiinotic
    Passimian
    …

    I really got no idea, this is the most difficult game to choose Pokémon for pre-game (Moon being second) they have a lot of Pokémon to choose and its difficult cause there aren’t many Pokemon I haven’t worked with from Gen.7 and there aren’t many I want to use again. Maybe Ambipom if its in USUM
