New Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon key art spotted on retailer poster
- Thread starter GSR
- Start date
To be honest, I'm not chomping at the bit for any of the new stuff shown so far. Even the new Pokemon.
Even if it is it's still different because she has a Pokeball
80% sure she becomes a Trainer during the story at some point in USUM

this sucksWe already know that Lillie starts the game the game way, at the very least.

In fairness, it's not so much ironic as it is people wanting Kalos to be fully developed as opposed to Alola. Like if USUM hadn't existed, people would still be happy with SM vs. the changing consensus that XY was an underwhelming game.

Yep, guess she's gonna be a trainer this time.
It's still mostly the same Pokemon, the same game world. You can't fault people for thinking there's not a lot of new stuff in here.

Oh so this isn't a sequel...

I hoping those new characters are an evil team from Ultra space.

Lili holding a PokeBall is hype.
I remember reading a (fake) rumor saying that Lili's character in Ultra SuMo would be different in a better way than it was in SuMo.

Calling it now, the shadowy figures are members of Mohn's science team that got lost in Ultra Space. Mohn's the only person that escaped, but he lost his memory and started Poke Pelago instead.
They befriended Necrozma and sent it back to the normal world to find Nebby so that it could open the portal for them, since Nebby seems to be the only one that can reliably do it, but Necrozma goes rogue and you have to stop it.

Hey Game Freak opened this can of worms for themselves when they started acknowledging alternate universe in ORAS and then made that a story focus in Sun and Moon. I mean, they even let you go into an alternate dimension that represents the opposite version from the one you have. I don't see how it is at all unreasonable to think they'll acknowledge the original Sun and Moon timelines in Ultra Sun and Moon.
Alternate dimensions are a thing in Pokémon now.
That was an offhand remark from a crazy dragon lady who thought her dead daughter was a Whismur
Nope more something like Pokemon Platinum with more plot added and some things/plot remixed/added, wich was awesome so lets hope it atleast gets the fuckin Battle Frontier lol and more extra's like that.
So like a Directors Cut/Deluxe Version.
Why would you want that, though? She was a fantastic "Scientist becomes obsessed with Eldritch knowledge" style villain; I want her to have even more villainous shenanigans, personally.

Wasn't this clear from day 1? It's an alternate version of Sun and Moon.
Off topic: is anyone doing a Pokken DX Review thread?
I'd die of happiness if they do something like that. Might be too much to ask for with an enhanced version though.

Didn't they say this was an alternate story? Given the story is centered around Pokemon from alternate dimensions. I think the poster could be on to something. Not too mention Annabelle. I actually really enjoyed Sun and Moons Post game. I thought the Looker/Annabelle/Nanu post game quest was pretty well done. I wonder with more UBs if that means an expanded post game quest as well.

Only downside is having to sit through Melemele again. That was the worst part of SM's campaign.

I love it to be honest, if only because the device they made that connects dimensions is called a Link Cable.
As in the link cable you used to connect Game Boys when trading.
Some other Nintendo games have done this as well. Where everyone's playthroughs of the same game are all alternate realities in a vast multiverse. Most notably
the Bravely series and Fire Emblem, starting from Awakening

What we've seen so far at least seems to suggest that the opening will be streamlined. Instead of having to go through all that dialogue to get your starter, it looks like you'll run into all three at the top of the hill past your house and immediately get to choose one to defend yourself against a Yungoos.

Facebook comments tho.

Third versions are the best Pokemon games but this is 3DS era Game Freak so we'll see.
Sun and Moon's story revolved around the existence of alternate dimensions (especially the postgame).
Dimensions are different to alternate universes/timelines
That's kinda splitting hairs, an alternate dimension can be a parallel universe, or something like where the UBs come from.
They're not subtle with the implication that a multiverse is the canon justification for different versions, it was offhand until they threw an Emerald-exclusive character into SUM.
They very clearly hinted that Gen VI and VII are in alternate universes compared to the original games. I don't see how you could miss something so blatant. Sun/Moon even further focuses on different dimensions and people passing through them (Annabelle, Looker). Hopefully we get some sort of conclusion to this story point.
The new villains are intriguing. They showed the exact same scene with the Ultra dimension opening up inside Aether in USUM, so I assumed Lusamine would once again take the same role. She might, but these new villains may also play a prominent role. I think an above poster's idea about them being tied with Necrozma and Mohn could be spot on.

Hopefully Mohn and Lusamine get some closure.
...Except that's literally what the alternate world you can access with your legendary is, LOL
