Pokémon Ultra Sun - Nintendo 3DS

Similar to Pokemon Black and White 2; Pokémon Ultra Moon takes place in the same area as Pokemon Sun, Alola but with an alternate storyline, new pokemon to collect and a few new features. Here are the list of changes/additions: 1. Story puts emphasis on the legendary Pokémon Necrozma. The core story of the Alolan trails stay the same. Alola map layout is the same with exception of a few new buildings, a new mini-island Ultra Megalopolis and worm hole. 3/4 of the game will feel very familiar to you plot wise if you played the original sun/moon 2. New enemy Group: Ultra Recon Squad and Team Rainbow Rocket. You can fight against all team rocket leaders in past games such as Giovanni (Pokémon Red and Blue) to Lysandre (Pokémon X and Y). 3. 3 new Ultra Beasts: UB Assembly, UB Burst and UB Adhesive 4. 8 trails instead of 7, with the 8th trail captain being Mina. 5. New legendary Pokémon Necrozma with Dusk Mane, Dawn Wings, and Ultra forms. You get the forms by absorbing legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and/or Lunala. 6. New Partner Cap Pikachu. It's just a Pikachu with Ash's (?) hat. New Lycanroc Dusk Form 7. New Z-Moves Clangorous Soulblaze - Kommo-o Splintered Stormshards - Lycanroc Searing Sunraze Smash - Solgaleo and Dusk Mane Necrozoma Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom - Lunala and Dawn Wings Necrozma Let's Snuggle Forever - Mimikyu Light That Burns the Sky - Ultra Necrozma 8. Mega Stones are also returning, but you have to find them 9. SOS battles. Now toned down, instead of wild pokemon calling unlimited SOS pokmeon it's just 1 this time 10. new clothing options will be available for players to purchase 11. Battle Agency. Battle random trainers with rental pokemon. The more battles you win the more rare rental pokemon you get and prizes you earn 12. Mantne Surf. As you fast travel from island to island, you can play a mini game where you ride Mantne through the ocean waves and preform tricks racking up points for a while score which can get you rewards. 13. Ultra Wormhole. Similar to Mantne surf where you play a mini-game (fly through rings) to travel to the Ultra Space where you fight and collect rare/legendary pokemon the further down you go. In this game you can literally get all legendaries from past generations if you own both games (list provided later on) 14. Alola Photo Club. Take photos with your pokemon, and add stamps/borders to the photos taken with more stamps/borders unlocked as you submit more photos 15. Totem Stickers. Replacement of collecting Zygard Cells in the original games. By collecting them you can trade them for Totem pokemon. 16. New Moves: Mind Blown - Fire-type Move. Learned by UB Burst. Photon Geyser - Psychic-type Move Plasma Fists - Electric-type Move. Learned by Zeraor 17. Roto-Loto. You can now be friends with Rotom (your pokedex) and unlock gives you items your pokemon can carry to increase stats such as exp gain,better friendship, more prize money from fighting trainers, faster egg hatching, use Z-move twice during battle, etc 18.

New pokemon aside from those already mentioned: Stakataka Blacephalon Poipole Naganadel Zeraora Hope the list of changes help you in your purchasing decision. If you find anything else, please put it in the comments === Now I'll post my original review of Pokemon Sun: Huge changes to the pokemon formula since Pokemon X & Y, no longer as it's strictly battle and collecting focused (although still present) as they added variety of mechanics to switch things up a bit and to bring more variety in gameplay. Changes include: 1. No HMs No longer do you have to carry around a HM slave (s). This has bothered me in the past games as I have to restrict 1 or 2 slots out of my party of 6 to help traverse certain areas of the world. In the place of HMs there are Poké Rides where you can ride pokemon interacting with them on the world map, some you may not be able to access until you've completed mission within the game. 2. Is it super effective? No longer do you have to look up guides online (unless it's your first encounter) to tell if a move is super effective or not very effective against the pokemon you're up against. After you battle a pokemon once, the game will tell you what moves is super effective or not in the battle menu once you encounter the same pokemon the second time. 3. No Traditional Gyms No longer do you have to battle your way through gym after gym to prove you're the best out of brute force. There are 4 islands in the game, each of which are controlled by 4 Island Kahunas To get to them you have to get pass Trail Captains and Todum Pokemon Trail captain will give you quizzes, side quests to complete, and/or fight in traditional battles Todum Pokemon. Basically typical pokemon you find the wild, but significantly stronger and have grunts that help them battle. 4. Rotom Pokédex Typical pokedex, but with a face and personality attached to it. 5. Alola Forms Basically different forms of pokemon you seen in previous generations. Either it's there physical form that is different and/or the pokemon's typing 6. Z-Moves With a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal you can use a pokemon's ultimate move once per battle. It's not like Mega Evolutions where it stays constant 7. QR Scanner. You can now scan QR codes to get event pokemon 8. Battle Royal A 4 player free-for-all where the battle ends after all of one's pokemon trainer's faints. They tally the win-losses of each trainer and the one with best stats at the end wins 9. Hyper Training. Once a pokemon reaches level 100, they can go through hyper training which can improve a Pokemon's IV 10. Poké Pelago Your PC Box now has functionality to it. It's like a day care sort of thing, instead of just depositing your pokemon, you can passively train them in the PC or have them search for items 11. Festival Plaza. An online mode where you can battle other trainers and trade with them. You get festial coins for each interaction which you can spend on clothes, shop or upgrade your pokemon's stats. There's also missions you can undertake to get more coins. 12. Night and Day phase, New Pokemon Pokemon Sun goes the traditional time route while Moon does the opposite. In Pokemon Moon if you're playing in the daytime, the game will consider it night time in-game. Some events also play out differently like different Totum Pokemon on the same island/trail In traditional Pokemon fashion you can only get some pokemon in each version so trading is required either with a friend or if you own both versions. Also some pokemon evolve differently in each version now. I'd say some of overall models of new pokemon are better looking than the last batch in previous iterations of the pokemon series. 13. Auto Run Your run is as fast as a bike now, and it has unlimited use. You can now move in all directions instead of the traditional 4 and it feels very fluid 14. No Rod Fishing is now dedicated to specific regions in the world. You cannot fish wherever you want anymore. 15. Photo Taking You can now take Photos of pokemon in the wild. 16. Team Skull and Aether Foundation Team Skull is the new antagonist group like Team Rocket, but they have a new style to them as they try act gangster-ish with their animated hand gesters/movements. They have more personality and have a darker tone to their backstory and mission. Aether Foundation is the opposite of Team Skull as their mission is to cure injured and hurt pokemon. The group is also conducting research on the Ultra Beast (Pokemon) which is a good mystery story in and of itself. 17. Graphical Upgrade Game looks better than the last, although there are some pixelation around the edges still. Models look more realistic than before, and the battle animations are more visually impressive. There are some framerate issues on 2v2 battles for some reason, but then again I own the launch 3DS. You may not have the issue if you own the New 3DS? It's a turn-based system so it doesn't really matter much in terms of gameplay, but the slow down is noticeable 18. Pokemon Refresh Similar to Pokemon amie but with more grooming options -Returning mechanics: Pokebank return, you can now transfer all your pokemon to Sun and Moon Clothing Options: Although more options are available, it still feel very limited. Mega Evolutions return, but none for new pokemon from what i've discovered Overall, love the changes to the traditional formula as it gives the Pokemon Series a nice refresh and is more streamline to play.

this is a really fun Pokémon game. I still have mine. I still enjoy it and it's definitely worth getting again. It's hard to find like this nowadays so if you get it, make sure you keep it

Pokemon Ultra Sun is a big improvement from Pokemon X and Y. (Though Pokemon X/Y are amazing) you can really tell the art style and the battle graphics have taken a huge leap from the previous games. The game has a great story line that takes place in Alola, a unique region with alolan Pokemon and the all new Z-moves. Though I prefer mega evolution to Z-moves Z-moves are a great alternative. Pokemon Ultra Sun is a game with many things to do and you don't have to do what the game wants you to do you can do whatever you want whenever you want. The new trial and grand trials are unique and challenging (believe me it took 12 tries to defeat Kommo-O) and it is a really good attempt to change things up from the normal gyms. Also festival plaza is a great new addition to the game where you can connect with others if the story gets to hard and just complete missions or do wonder trades. The GTS is also a great feature brought back from Pokemon X and Y but you have to be careful because some trades can give you a virus if not legitimate (My festival plaza was blocked for 3 days after trading with hacker.) Also the breeding feature is great and a way to get rare Pokemon easily. Team RR was a great after story adventure featuring previous villains Lysandre, Geovanni Ext. There are so many post game things to do breed Pokemon, Festival plaza, Mantine surfing and you can travel through Ultra space. The game also features people from Pokemon X and Y like Sina, Dexio, Lysandre, and Looker if you did the post game tasks in X/Y. Overall, this game is probably the best Pokemon game I have ever played up to Sword and Shield.

Sun and Moon were good games, and this is a great game! It reminds me of the older games, such as Ruby as Sapphire, which would be followed by a third version that was better in practically every way. While having an Ultra Sun AND an Ultra Moon might be a touch necessary, there is no question about which is the superior game. Compared to its predecessor, this game has: - More refined dialogue. One of Sun and Moon's weaknesses was the incessant dialogue throughout the game. This has been cleaned up. - Less hand-holding. The game does still drag in places, but it no longer feels the need to hold your hand throughout the first two hours of gameplay. I still wish there was an option to indicate to the game that you know what you're doing, but that's a problem all Pokemon games share. - A more polished story. - Increased difficulty. If you're like me and you like a challenging game, Sun and Moon were probably a disappointment in that regard. In my opinion, Ultra Sun hits the perfect balance between too challenging and too easy. It's a tough game, but no so much you'd want to put it down. - Better post-game. Sun and Moon had a very short post game (even though it was fun), and Ultra Sun has improved on that. It's longer and more challenging - I'm still playing long after completing the main game! - Better graphics throughout - And heaps of added content. There's new stuff everywhere. Even if you just finished playing Sun and Moon, Ultra Sun had enough new content to keep me searching around for new things even in places I'd already seen. In short, this is the "definitive" Alola game. If you like a good Pokemon game, chances are you'll enjoy this one.

There is so much to do in this game it's unreal! There are over a hundred side quests in the game with many returning from the previous games and many new quests as well. The quests that require you to catch a certain Pokémon have all changed to another mon required. The storyline itself is almost entirely different outside of the inclusion of the Ultra Beasts. Lusamine's motives did a complete 180 in this game, which I felt was a bit of a let down but it was more true to her character's determination to protect Pokémon. The previous Post-Game UB side quest was replaced with Team Rainbow Rocket instead. There are now eight trials instead of seven with two trials remaining completely the same. The totems are different this time around too and the side stuff leading up to the totem battle is different as well. It is different enough that it does have the feeling of a different game, but at the same time this game feels like what Pokémon Sun and Moon should have originally been in the first place. Glad to see this series go out with a bang before moving over to the Switch. There are many wonderful additions to the game, however it is a bit annoying to track down the legendary Pokémon since they are essentially appearing at random through the Ultra Wormhole.

I loved Ultra Moon and wanted to replay, but, I already have like 20 or so shinies (SOS, wormhole and Masuda), I didn't want to switch them all over to sun, so I bought Ultra Sun to go with it. I can wait to shiny hunt Buzzwole (another reason why I bought the game). An awesome shiny and a bug type. The shiny hunting is relatively easier in this game with method hunting. The game play is hand holding and some cutscenes are long. With no skip button, it gets kind of irritating in a second playthrough. The clothing choices are much better in Ultra than the regular sun and moon. The day cycles still confuse me (Sun and Ultra Sun are normal, but, Moon and Ultra Moon it's night time during the day). The post games are better than in previous generations, but, I'm more interested in completing my Shiny LivingDex. If you're new to Pokémon this game will be perfect for beginners. My mom was able to play it easily without asking a ton of questions like when I let her play my Leaf Green game. She quit after the first gym and said it was too hard.

i love pokemon and i say keep buying physical!

[SPOILERS] The things this game did right should have been added as DLC or a regular update to Sun and Moon: • The Mantine and Ultra Wormhole mini games, which are fresh features that further distinguish Generation 7 from the other games. • The Y button being an easier way to save the game. • The Photo Album. • Totem Stickers—this gives the player even more to do, and, to be honest, made more sense than starting off with Zygarde cells. • Giving Mina a trial—this was a smart move that actually improved on the originals! • Rainbow Rocket post-game—as far as plot goes, it was nonsensical, but I still enjoyed that soundtrack! I am personally very disappointed with some of the changes the game makers made to the original plot: I didn’t think I would ever have to say this, but Lillie was even more of a damsel in distress in Ultra Sun/Moon. While the game makers made her a trainer at the end, the other changes to her character were unsavory, especially on Exeggutor Island. Why did they think it was a good idea to give the player two similar options when Lillie begs to join them to the island? Either way, you must decide between “I will protect you” or “Stay here.” What was wrong with her coming along in the originals? The original scene develops the relationship between the player and Lillie better than forcing her to stay at the village. The absolute worst plot change for me was Lusamine being an anti-hero, rather than the villain she was set up to be in the originals. Why would they keep the same scene of Nihilego if they’re just going to throw it back in our faces? It worked so well in the originals: Lusamine is seen lusting after Nihilego, and then, she merges with one. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, it falls flat with no mention of Nihilego in the plot ever again. Furthermore, Sun and Moon were more realistic and raw when it came to handling Lillie and Lusamine’s relationship. It takes a lot for many people to learn from their mistakes, and many more don’t. Lusamine should not be an exception. It makes sense that she falls into a coma and Lillie feels she must take it upon herself to take care of her mother. It was a beautifully dark element to the story! But Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon take the lazy route and have the mother understand Lillie without going through as much (since there is no Nihilego). The development, in that regard, was not only less impactful, but also rushed. Overall: I feel like Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon would have been better off as sequels like Black 2 and White 2 rather than butchered remakes. The plot with Sun and Moon was already well done—why not expand on that lore with sequels, rather than change it arbitrarily?

Me pareció genial que viniera con sus detalles como el suficiente espacio y la comodidad en el paquete que fue enviado mi producto como también su protección, el sujeto que lo trajo muy buena persona y también el tiempo fue excepcional antes de que fueran las 12 el señor ya estaba en la puerta de mi casa también lo garantizo para aquellas personas nuevas en este tipo de cosas como la compra en línea yo también estaba muy indeciso de comprar en línea pero esto está en perfectas condiciones y en estado nuevo.

Came quickly, sealed in original packaging, very happy kiddo here!

Cannot use, have been sent a version that does not work in the UK. This was a birthday present and we now have a very upset little boy.

DAMAGE

It plays exactly how I thought it would
