Game Freak on making Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon as two new games, which version is right for you
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 17 Comments
3DS is getting two more Pokemon games next month in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. However, they aren’t entirely new. Both build upon last year’s original Pokemon Sun/Moon. Game Freak has decided to introduce another pair of Sun/Moon titles, following a similar approach to Black 2/White 2 rather than something like Pokemon Crystal or Pokemon Platinum in which a single follow-up game was introduced.
Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon director Kazumasa Iwao spoke with GameSpot about the idea behind these latest games and why making two versions made sense. Here’s what he shared on the subject:

Team Rocket apparently shows up in Pokemon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon

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.

Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon mainly a project for Game Freak’s younger staff, more veterans for Pokemon Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch | 29 Comments
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:
Use points from Mantine Surf in Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon to pay for Move Tutors
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments
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.
