Pokemon Ultra Moon

Nintendo UK published its latest introduction video with the producer and director of Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, who talk about new features in the game. View it below.

We not only got the previous November 2nd announcement but also a number of new Pokemon screenshots to share from Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon from Game Freak. You can check out all of the new screenshots down below.

The Japanese Pokemon Twitter has posted that we will be receiving some more information about Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon on November 2nd around 6 A.M. PST. That’s really all we know at this point. The tweet is down below for reference.


The next episode of the Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon introduction video series with Game Freak is here. Shigeru Ohmori and Kazumasa Iwao talk about new Pokemon, returning Legendary Pokemon, the amount of Pokemon, and their favorite Pokemon in the Alola region. Watch the video below.

We’re still about a month away from the release of Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, but download cards for the games have started popping up in Japanese stores – and they show something rather interesting. It seems like Team Rocket will make an appearance in both games – the download card for Ultra Sun (see above, bottom left corner) shows a battle against a female Team Rocket grunt, while the download card for Ultra Moon (below) depicts a male grunt.

How exactly Team Rocket are involved in the game’s story is unknown at the moment. Still, if they are showcased on the download cards, it’s likely more than just a small cameo.

Game Freak has a delicate balance going on at the moment. The studio is currently wrapping up Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon for 3DS. But as we found out at E3, Game Freak is also shifting towards Switch with its very first Switch project.

On the bright side, handling two big projects doesn’t seem to be an issue for the company. In an interview with GameSpot, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon producer Shigeru Ohmori noted how the latest 3DS games can be thought of “mainly as a project for our younger staff to work on and grow and develop their skills, while perhaps the more veteran, established members of the company can work on the upcoming [Switch] project.”

Ohmori explained:

Game Freak shared a new aspect of Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon in an interview with Eurogamer Portugal. We have a bit of news about Mantine Surf.

Director Kazumasa Iwao stated that points earned from Mantine Surf can be used to get items and have Move Tutors teach your Pokemon moves that they couldn’t learn in last year’s games. It’s similar to other enhanced versions, sequels, and remakes of Pokemon games. However, it’s not yet known if points can be obtained through other methods or if the points are Battle Points.
