As promised, a brand new trailer showing off new features and story elements of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon has been released!
New Information:
- Team Rainbow Rocket has assembled under Giovanni to bring together the biggest baddies of the last 20 years.
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, the greatest villainous organization in history appears! It’s Team Rainbow Rocket—made up of the bosses from past titles in the Pokémon series!
The boss of Team Rainbow Rocket is none other than Giovanni, who was also the boss of the villainous organization known as Team Rocket in Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue, the first games in the Pokémon series.
But that’s not the worst of it—Giovanni has gathered into one group the bosses from the various past games in the Pokémon series! You and your allies will have to square off against what might be your greatest challenge yet!
What in the world could Giovanni and his allies be after, appearing in the Alola region so suddenly…?
- New Battle Agency feature allows you to battle using rental teams!
When you don your sunglasses and become an “agent” at this facility, you can take part in Single Battles using rental Pokémon. You’ll have three such Pokémon to command as you try to defeat the three Pokémon in your opponent’s team. Try to win your way to being the best of all the agents!
- Totem Stickers seem to take the place of Zygarde Cells and can be found throughout Alola and ultimately redeemed for totem-like Pokémon!
With Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon,you’ll be able to collect stickers called Totem Stickers all around Alola. Totem Stickers glitter and shine in the field.
If you collect these Totem Stickers, you’ll be able to get a huge totem-like Pokémon for your team, based on how many stickers you’ve collected. It’ll surely shock your opponents to see you using these oversized totem-like Pokémon in battle!
The totem-like Pokémon that you can get as allies can differ based on whether you’re playing Pokémon Ultra Sun or Pokémon Ultra Moon. For example, you can get Lurantis as an ally in Pokémon Ultra Sun or Salazzle in Pokémon Ultra Moon. Search every corner of the Alola region and collect masses of Totem Stickers!
- Catch lots of Legendary Pokémon depending on your game!
- Pokémon Ultra Sun only: Ho-Oh, Raikou, Groudon, Latios, Dialga, Heatran, Reshiram, Tornadus, Xerneas.
- Pokémon Ultra Moon only: Lugia, Entei, Kyogre, Latias, Palkia, Regigigas, Zekrom, Thundurus, Yveltal.
- Island Scan feature returns with new Pokémon, including Charmander, Grovyle and Greninja!
- Next batch of new Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon information will drop November 9th, 10pm PST (November 10th JST/5am UTC)
What do you think?!
Wtf are all of you idiots, mainly earthen, spamming and rambling about?
BlizzCon’s going on rn, so there’s a lot of announcements happening
Ewww
I’m not an idiot. Sheesh.
You all are to me 😉
OMG, this is so harsh and rude. Made me horny actually. Yeah, that’s how a girl’s brain works.
What the f*ck

Nani!?!
Makes sense
Thou needst to control thy sodium chloride levels
I mean if we could keep the posting about whatever the hell they’re announcing contained, it’d be nice considering it’s pretty hard to follow and is bordering on spam
It’s no different from when we’re all watching E3/direct tho besides the fact it’s not Pokémon
The difference though is that we all come here for pokemon so we generally all know what’s going on. I’m fine with people talking about other stuff, we all do it, but I don’t need like 50 posts with one word exclamations that add nothing at all
Hit the minimise button. Can’t blame people for being hyped
That just seems unnecessary. All I’m saying is that people don’t need to post every little thought or feeling that comes into their heads ¯_(ツ)_/¯
People are excited about something they know other members of a site that’s always off topic anyway are into
Sue them
I’m an idiot?… To that sir I say…. You’re right!
I would love to see a Bug/Ice UB. Or just any Pokemon with said typing. Inb4 people say 4x Fire and Rock weaknesses:
Aurorus (a Pokemon I love): 4x weak to Steel and Fighting
All Rock/Ground Types: 4x Water and Grass
Any Water/Ground type: 4X Grass
Scizor and Genesect: 4x Fire
Volcarona (another Pokemon I love): 4x Rock
Any Fire, Ice, or Bug/Flying type: all 4x Rock
Hoopa: 4x Ghost and Dark for Bound, 4x Bug for Unbound
Any Grass/Psychic and Malamar line: 4x Bug
Any Dragon/Ground or Flying type: 4x Ice
The list goes on.
My point is, quad weaknesses don’t make a Pokemon terrible.
Stats and movepool does. Designs are opinionated.
Also, does anyone want a Love Ball Feebas or Salandit? I recently got the Feebas one off GTS, and I got a Dream Ball one too. Need to breed then though.
Except the Love Ball Salandits, I bred too many trying to hatch a shiny, and I need to get rid of them, been mass WT’ing them since two days ago. I have four left. One’s male with 5IVs, another with 4IVs, male with 3IVs, and a female with 3IVs. All Timid except the 5IV one, it’s Modest.
Three more eggs on the way.
Update: One female, two male.
All Timid with 5IV, 5IV, and 4IVs respectfully.
Hm…do the feebas have IV’s?
LB Feebas has 5IVs, Bold. I’ll have to breed it to be Modest/Calm with 5IVs in the right places. The DB Feebas has 3IVs, Quirky.
If you ever get some extra DB feebas I’d def be interested. I have some breedjects to offer in return
Would you like to IV breed it or do you just wan a DB Feebas? I’ll breed it now, egg moves that it has included.
It doesn’t matter! I’m cool with whatever
Ok! Your Feebas is ready!!
Okay! Um I think I have some magikarp, togepi, charjabug, larvitar, munch/snorlax, or litwick breejects?
May I have the Litwick breedject? I already have a 5IV Togekiss, I need no more 5IV Magikarp from WT, and I have too many Larvitars lol.
Any one is fine.
Yeah, lemme get it ready. Are we friends already? My IGN is Kris
Go to the GTS and trade your Litwick for a level 51- 60 Lati@s. I have either, and a plan.
I’ll trade you the Lati, register as friends, then trade back the Pokes and I’ll give you the Feebas.
If you think it’s easier 😛
Gen.1 Parasect has the most amount of x4 weaknesses as Bug was weak to poison
So Ice, Fire, Flying and Poison all were x4
Bug was weak to Ice too?
Pretty sure it was, just like it is today
But…bug isn’t weak to ice..
Wha… Wha… Wha………………. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e5e9114070d5fb98bb3a67bb0d3957d812389410118db95ac4ae72df13dd7fc7.png
OK WHAT THE ACTUALLY F*CK!!!!!!!! I HAVE TILL THIS VERY SECOND IN TIME THOUGHT BUG’S WERE WEAK TO ICE TYPES!!!!!!!
Well better late than never lol
I’m assuming that its because of all the Bug/Flying types
It’s understandable. 🙂
Has anyone seen any TV spots or anything for USUM? I’ve seen plenty of Switch and Mario Odyssey ones…I guess that’s another good thing about the move to the Switch, the advertising will probably be a lot better.
I see them a crap ton when I’m looking after my little sister
Well it’s good to know they exist at least.
At this point I’ve given up on trying to make a cohesive Pokémon lore in my mind. Rainbow rocket probably screws with any notion of a single world and timeline.
I thought ORAS’s multiple worlds would have killed it but no, it’s gonna be super hard to make a canon timeline.
Tho I’m still pumped for USUM.
(And I can always use the Pokémon Special manga as the canon lore, if all else fails)
Whilst I don’t think any one timelime is canon, you can make a ‘primary timelime’ which is the most important one and just say the team leaders were brought from various beta timeliness
The main thing screwing all of it up though is RSE Maxie and Archie. Esp. if they end up having Megas.
Anywho ever since I was a kid I have envisioned The Pokémon universe as a cohesive world and I imagined all the protags interacting in some way, but alas this complicated things a hunch.
All the protags can Interact and there’s still a cohesive world, it’s just there’s multiples (timelines) or that cohesive world.
Fair enough
It just breaks my immersion when I have to stop and think. Technically it all can work out fine.
The whole multi-timeline thing is so stupid and overly complicated for a generally-childrens’ franchise.
I agree. It’s gotten to the point where I wish they would just reset the whole thing and find a new storytelling motif
And it’s even more dumb because they won’t release a timeline map or something that details what games go on which timelines..
Because they don’t really need to because we have a rough time line and the same rough events always happen? It’s not like the Zelda timelines where Majora doesn’t happen in two of them, an iteration of each region’s event will always happen.
‘Overly complicated’
Fam this is one of the simplest depictions of alternate timelines I’ve seen. We know that there’s major decisions that can serve as a base for a whole host of timelines (whether AZ fires the weapon or not) and besides its just that the same events occur many times with different details.
I wouldn’t say it’s complex but like it’s so unnecessary. Like we didn’t need AZ’s decision to be such a monumental moment, especially since XY didn’t even care that much about AZ I’m general.
Like I said, it’s stupid. The timeline was so simple before ORAS and then they just f*cked it up when they decided it needed to be done Zelda style with remakes creating their own universe and crud like that
Wow they actually tried to explain the inconsistencies and plot holes in their games with something they’d already hinted at since at least Gen 5, arguably Gen 4
How duuuumb
So really it’s just an excuse for their poor planning then. The timeline in pokemon really wasn’t all that important in the first place because the amount of characters and events that overlap within the games is SO incredibly small that it’d be super easy to keep everything straight if Gamefreak wasn’t run by idiots
GameFreak ignores inconsistencies: Wow GF how lazy
GameFreak solves inconsistencies: Wow GF how bad
It’s because they started having reoccurring characters and introducing huge changes in the game that would’ve been globally acknowledged in a realistic setting but without a multiverse would’ve come out of nowhere.
And, to be honest, calling GF idiots for something you don’t like is just ignorant. It’s overall a non factor in the game because the only time it’s shoved in our face is post game episodes that are just there to be hype asf.
Except that the pokemon world still makes no sense with or without the timelines so it doesn’t even matter if multiple timelines make it “more realistic” because it never was and never will be. We literally don’t even know the relative distances between regions other than Kanto and Johto. Theoretically there are an infinite number of regions within the pokemon world considering the franchise will probably never end (hopefully) so the planet must be enormous. There’s no telling how much of what goes on in one region must affect the others because we’re so in the dark about the world. That’s just how I see it.
Basically after gen 2, Gamefreak should’ve thought long and hard about how they were going to continue the continuity within the franchise since Hoenn was the first distant region, but I’m not sure they did. At least by Gen 4 they could’ve had things more nailed down, but I guess not. All well. I find the timeline thing unnecessary because
Ooops forgot to finish that
*because I personally found it generally fine. I didn’t think there were glaring issues. I guess really my problem is that we as fans don’t have important concrete info about the series. Which is why an encyclopedia would be nice
Has blizzard ever spoken on a possibility of OW for the Switch
they said not likely
Huh. I did some research and some time ago Blizzard hired a group of people for an OW project, which would be needed if they actually were going to make that port. So overall it’s not likely, but some chances are there.
In all the stuff yesterday I forgot to share my Día de Muertos shiny hatch, so here he is:
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2452b3f70ad912524c738f98c8663fd6f085fec815a6744a917b9580bd227589.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6485aa48c76c516f807e76fc7ef1aba55782b41dce075be5837a18496f1d0ca5.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6ac32307626725f273745a66e21dfb26a5965cdcb19a655980e447cecd619443.jpg
Noice! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/af1be0288eba90f832ae7100099eeaec7ab3d87ea40f1d59e4f07f1d5dd1c0cc.jpg
Thanks 🙂 He has perfect IVs though I had to do 5 rejections to roll them right.
I’ve been SOSing a cubone for my birthday and it still hasn’t popped up
I relate. I want a shiny alomarowak so much, but alas I have not found a shiny cubone yet.
Magikarp Method Masuda breed it.
Interestimg. I hadn’t heard of that method before. Maybe I’ll try it.
It’s the fastest way to shiny breed in gen 7. Hopefully it carries over to USUM and beyond.
Wouldn’t you be better going back to gen 6 to breed and evolve it? Or do you not hate Alolan Marowak now? GL getting it anyway.
well I haven’t felt a wowgasm since they first revealed Cataclysm, just…..wow…
sorry if i’m pooposting a lot but i just wanna scream in joy, Wow is going back to its roots, no longer facing hordes of demons or death itself or the sundering of the planet, just back to deep seated racism that fuels our lust for glory and conquest
And I Entharalis Earthstorm Dwarven Paladin shall lend my Hammer of Light to bring victory and justice to the Alliance

I am also very excited for classic Vanilla Servers to really remind me of my very first steps in Dun Morogh
It all comes together… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3c11c43de184759cb3069da8312572fd488cccc93bfca0f1a2e6fa83a5fdb050.jpg
Silver should appear too.
He really should.
Oh shoot… he wasn’t lying.
Oh fuuuuck

I don’t see Alaska and Hawaii. 0/10 wouldn’t meme again
How I never noticed that until now..
??
The mistake, i’ve watched that video like 20 times or so
Oh, I see it now
I have a full special ball list here:
Fast Ball: Pidgey
Lure Ball: Magikarp
Moon Ball: Ghastly, Absol, Larvitar, Staryu
Level Ball: Drampa
Love Ball: Feebas, Eevee, Mareanie, Alomomola, Salandit
Heavy Ball: Larvitar, again
Friend Ball: Larvitar (ugh)
Dream Ball: Magneton, Mawile, Forretress, Ponyta, Igglybuff (need to evolve to breed), Jynx, Skorupi, Feebas, Buneary
I had a Dream Ball Mareep in Black, but I don’t know where it is. (I checked X,Y, and ORAS, but I think I traded it away/released it years ago. :'( I even checked for Ampharos too. There’s a Safari Ball Ampharos and Houndoom in Black.)
Edit: I forgot DB Feebas. ._.
What do you want in exchange? Is the Salandit Female?
I have 7 Salandit, two are female. I can give you the 5IV one. Atk is Very Good though. I didn’t get No Good (0).
I’m just giving them out to people who want a cool ball for specific Pokemon. I only have two extra DB Mawile left, both Male, but they’re not IV ready.
I just love breeding special ball Pokemon for potential competitive play.
Do you need any?
Nope, just trading off special balls to people who want cool animations for their specific Pokemon. I don’t need anything in return, but if you have any breedjects, I can take those. I have 7 Love Ball Salandit and two DB Mawile, but the Mawile have no perfect IVs yet.
Oh I have everything in every Apricorn, Safari, Sport and Dream Ball so far so I’m good. I’ll probably collect the new USUM ones depending on Apricorn Ball availability.
Do you have a DB Mareep?
Yeah in Gen 6, well I’d need to breed it.
That’s fine, take your time. I actually have to go now, so it can be for next time.
Smite stop trying to be relevant on Blizzard reveal night! It will not work!
https://youtu.be/0dOIlgWeHs4
Watch it work
So here’s a thought. The next trailer is gonna be released in the middle of the night for a lot of the world. It’s at 2pm for Japan so for those on the east coast of the US it’ll be 1am
Wait, what’s your thought part?
Fair………I suppose I never said my thought. I guess I just find it odd they’d do it at such a weird time. When it’s early morning for use it’s still an hour in Japan that people would be up. Them doing it at 2pm for them means a lot of people will still be asleep.
I think here it’s 5am so I’ll just look at it whenever later in the day as usual.
Idea: A Switch dock with a built in projector
So like…it would project the games onto a wall? Then you would need another controller
Wait
Someone already came up with it

Pretty freaking cool imo
Lol look at this tragic team (right before the first Gym, thnx brokenav) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/59c9ffd1cdafeb4b35d7e2c3873268445a82d0a657b7fbcb807c98604c1dde98.jpg
You not evolving Nincada yet?
That’s the level I got it at
Ah makes sense, couldn’t remember if it had a level up move worth waiting for.
Lol you dont have to get it at that level it was your choice
Well Casc have you ever heard of a joke? :p
I think the “Lol” signifies that I was laughing at the joke. So yes
Sorry lol I couldn’t tell whether it was an genuine lol or a petty lol lol
@MissMilotic:disqus
I deposited the litwick!
Ok!
You’re my VIP now.
Okay! Just lead the way whenever you’re ready
Derp, how do I initiate a trade?
Nvm
You shayla?
Dammit…do I have to physically remove Latias from the GTS?
OH no I found it my bad
Thank you Ultron!
No thank you! I’ve been meaning to rebreed my Milotic for some time now.
Tata, lovelies! I got to go! Life calls!
*starts crying*
lol

I think hunting star fragments is the second worst thing about Breath of the Wild
I don’t think it was intended for players to grind for them. They should’ve considered that while designing the armor upgrade system
Honestly though…Like I’ve tried some of the internet farming techniques and they’re not working for me.
There are ways to make it easier. I found a way to basically mine them on YouTube, but I don’t remember the video that showed me
I think you mean the camping on Dual Peaks method
Yeah that’s the one. There was a good video on it I found earlier this year, but I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to find it again. Either that or I’m too lazy lol
So I’ve been dexnaving for a shiny Girafarig in OR. It’s kind of weird going back to ORAS after so long.
Wow so Super Mario Odyssey is short huh? My litttle brother who is further than me told me that I’m almost done.
This game is so much fun though and I’m totally going to 100% this game.
So far my favorite kingdoms are
Metro Kingdom and Sea Side Kingdom
I got like 760 moons
The post game is when the real fun starts 😉
I’ve been super busy this week, but I’ve found a couple hours here and there to play. It’s an absolute blast, I agree. I’ve played around 10 hours so far and I’ve got 140 moons. Just unlocked the Metro Kingdom, can’t wait! From the looks of it it seems to be the biggest one yet.
Yeah of course it is. Oh but it has a bajillion moons though! You get a moon faster than you can blink so it cancels out.
The thing is, I haven’t finished the main game but I’ve also heard it’s super short. I could’ve easily by now if I would’ve just done the story missions, but there is so soooo much outside that. I think it’s meant so that busy people and short attention-spanned kids can also finish, but that there’s plenty for bigger fans.
Dam that new Overwatch short was emotional and epic
*shrugs*
But like… going out with two rocket hammers at a robot armada was just awesome
Xenoblade 2 direct Tuesday!! I’m excited, but I hope they don’t spoil too much, and I also hope they hype it up more than they did with the Sept. Direct, that was a train wreck for the most part.
Can’t wait for people to rage about how nintendo is failing because there was no Smash in a Xenoblade direct
MELEE HD
Made an OU team based on Harry Potter, it actually seems decent.
Who wants to see it??
Go for it.
Mega Alakazam = Albus Dumbledore
Celesteela = Hogwarts
Serperior= Basilisk
Keldeo= Buckbeak
Mimikyu = Invisibility cloak (I know I’m stretching this one)
Salamence = Hungarian Horntail
So it’s a hyper offensive team.
Mega Zam is atm 4 attack zam
Celesteela is a offensive Automize set
Standard scarf Keldeo
Standard Contrary Serperior with knock off for Chanseys
Standard LO Mimikyu
And DD Flyinium Z Mence with FB for dem steels
So far I’m winning games quite easily
although it’s obvs far from the finished article!
Mimikyu is kind of like a boggart.
Yeah! How did I not see that!
I shall change that right away..Accio teambuilder!
Which mon do you think would best represent Voldy in design and power??
Giratina Origin or Darkrai
Good answers!
Cyrus says here that he achieved his goals. Timeline theories might not be so farfetched (pun not intended) after all? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/381cbf1f8858bcce0892dacd95720b39b72b8102addb2341c1c42000523c6d2a.png
Nope. I actually think it’s really cool that they have succeeded in their agendas. It makes them look all the more menacing and threatening to us!
They are all assembling because they weren’t able to be beaten by the original 10 year old they were meant to lose to so they want to lose to a different 10 year old and know what it feels like instead of the hollowness of victory.
So does Archie, it’s 100 real
100%*
No need to correct me m8
I do that enough meself
It’s okay anytime. Personally I’d advise you to read books to help improve your English.
This reminds me. Did they ever truly reveal Giavonni using M.Mewtwo Y? Because on Serebii under the Giavonni character for USUM they say he owns it, but I only saw regular Mewtwo. Same goes for how they apparently showed Cyrus with Houndoom, Ghetsis with Hydrogen and Lysander with Pyroar and M.Gyarados
Joe says he does and that Ghetsis has a Mega too
Hmm only three options for GF then
New Unovan Mega’s
or
He gets an Audino (I have super high doubts)
or he is going to have a vastly upgraded team to inquire a Mega probably a Tyranitar based on the fact it seems they are using USUM Alola Pokémon
I think he has a Houndoom
Cyrus has a Houndoom
Yes. Watch from 4:15 on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qlXHmP99BY
Anyone else notice Nanu is the only Kahuna to not appear when the other 3 do?
Oh it also confirms Golurk is back as one appears right after the Villains
Makes no sense. If Cyrus succeeded, this world wouldn’t exist.
UNLESS Alola is the paradise of Cyrus’ ideal society.
Well he literally says it, so i dont know how we can possibly dispute it lol?
Multiple universes.
I think each one of them come from a different world where they achieved their plans. Then they travelled to Alola through Ultra Space. Basically, in our world, their counterparts failed, in their world they won.
