Official promotional art for USUM spotted around many stores in Japan.

Yeahh I'm gonna wait for more gameplay/mechanics before I even think of (pre)-ordering either. If they are gonna be as handholding and overly kidfriendly I can just keep my ol' Sun lol.

I love the look of UB Assembly.

USUM Trailer!

Spoiler

Mina has a trial in this game, by the looks of it on Poni Island.
Acerola and Hokulani Observatory seem to have some contribution to Island Trials
Hala is confirmed to still be a Kahuna, probably on Melemele Island.
Mallow is also still a trial captain. The totem Pokemon is also still Lurantis though the trial looks different.
Alolan Marowak is a Totem Pokemon in these games.
Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma share Solgaleo and Lunala's typing, being Psychic/Steel and Psychic/Ghost.
Mantine is a new Pokeride that can be used to travel between Islands. You can perform tricks on waves with Mantine and score points.
Hau is still your rival and Lillie is in her "Z transformation" outfit from Sun and Moon. Also seems to be a rival.
The Alola Dex has over 400 Pokemon.

Tony Hawk's Pro Surfing? LOL

 

[oath2order]

The surfing could be fun. It's surfing between islands and I theorize that maybe mirage islands return?

I'm really hyped for US and UM, whilst I'm yet to finish playing Moon, I'll probably end up getting it soon after it comes out <3 I'll probably wait for more of the gameplay mechanics to be revealed before I buy it but the surfing looks interesting!

Sadly I think it is just a minigame with no control over where you stop. I hope I'm wrong.

I mean its a possibility. We just have to wait and see

From what I understand, you use Mantine to surf to other islands, and whilst you travel there, instead of it just being a linear journey in the other games where you get to traces through the sea, the "journey" is the mini game, so when you complete the mini game, you'll be at the island.

I could be totally wrong, but from what I've read and understand, that's the impression I got.

Oh I will definitely be getting Ultra Sun, as I play Moon now (mostly just to breed Shiny Pokemon). I love Pokemon dearly, so I'd be getting the new games no matter what they were~ I haven't been disappointed by a game yet, though I've only played Alpha Sapphire and Moon. I just love the concept of training up adorable looking monsters! All the mechanics are fun to me mostly, and the story is starting to look very interesting in Utra Sun/Moon. I mean, in this one, it seems Lillie will be a trainer judging by the new poster (she is holding a Pokeball) and that to me indicates there might be some other big changes to the story. I'm really interested to know what they are!

You should go back and play HG/SS and Black and white / bw2 and then compare

Holy **** I'm shook

Story trailer for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. In Japanese, but it looks AMAZING!!!

 

[SensaiGallade]

English trailer released today!

Spoiler

The ability to travel to many world through the Ultra Wormhole has been revealed!

Along with this, we have UB Burst and Assembly's typing's, being Fire/Ghost and Rock/Steel respectively. UB Burst has a new move called Mind Blown. Its typin is unknown.

A new Ultre Beast is revealed called UB Adhesive! Its a Poison type!

The mysterious team now has a name. They are known as the Ultra Recon Squad that are based in an area in Ultra Space called Ultra Metropolis. There are 4 main leaders by the looks of it, being version exclusives where 2 appear in US and the other 2 appear in UM. They seem like antagonists but its still unclear.

People were salty about USUM's reveal and how the game didn't seem intersting, but the last 2 trailers have shown the true mysteries behind the games!

I hope Lusamine is a supporting character along with Mohn in this game.

 

[SensaiGallade]

I hope Lusamine is a supporting character along with Mohn in this game.

I was reading the translations of the Japanese trailer, and Lusamine supposidly says:

You must escape... That thing... it's a monster!

Sounds like she definitely is talking on a different role in the games. And with the introduction of Ultra Megalopolis, maybe Mohn has something to do with it...

 

[DarkDesertFox]

I don't really get what the game is supposed to be. I don't plan on picking it up myself.

Like, you don't get what USUM is or you don't get what Pokemon is?

 

[SensaiGallade]

I don't really get what the game is supposed to be. I don't plan on picking it up myself.

I mean, if it helps, the games are alternate stories to Sun and Moon. Similar to a 3rd version like Emerald and Platinum but not at the same time
