Pokemon Company says Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon Switch listing on press site was an error, games are exclusive to 3DS
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch | 49 Comments
Shortly after Pokemon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon were announced, the two games were added to the official Pokemon press site. Oddly, both were listed for both 3DS and Switch for a short time. But soon after it was spotted, the Switch mention was removed.
Just as expected, The Pokemon Company says that the Switch listing was an error. An official statement also reiterates that Pokemon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon are exclusive to 3DS.
The note reads:
“We would like to address rumours based on a clerical error on the Pokémon press site; Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon are coming exclusively to Nintendo 3DS family of systems and are not due for release on Nintendo Switch. This listing on the Pokémon press site was made in error and is not indicative of future plans. Please refer to the Pokémon Direct for more game details.”

Pokemon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon replaces Wii U with Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch, Wii U | 21 Comments
In the original Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon games, a Wii U could be found in the player’s room at the beginning of the game. With Pokemon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon, it’s been replaced. Wii U is gone, and Switch has taken its place. Since Switch is Nintendo’s focus now, the change does make sense.
Pokemon press site lists Pokemon Ultra Sun / Ultra Moon for Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch | 20 Comments
Update: This has already been removed. We’re going to chalk it up to it being an error.
Original: Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon were just revealed for 3DS as part of the new Pokemon Direct. However, the series’ official press site is also listing the game for Switch with a “TBA” release date. I’m going to guess that this is just a mistake, but hey, maybe there’s a tiny bit of hope that they’ll be on Switch as well.
