![]() ![]() Lusamine doesn't appear to be completely out of her mind instead of using Nebby for her own personal gain and purposely creating Ultra Wormholes in order to claim the Ultra Beasts for herself, she wants to sacrifice Nebby to travel through Ultra Space and find and defeat Necrozma in order to save Alola from perpetual darkness. It isn't until far into the second half of the game that the storyline starts to really deviate from the one in Sun and Moon. The characters haven't changed much, honestly Gladion is as edgy as ever, Professor Kukui still thinks he's cool, Lillie continues to act like a damsel in distress, and Hau is still the happy-go-lucky motherfucker who tries to follow in his grandfather Hala's footsteps - although it has to be said he has become much stronger compared to Sun and Moon. The Island Challenge remains largely the same, although Game Freak improved on the trials and changed them up either a little or significantly, and there are some new Totem Pokémon for you to conquer, including some difficult ones in Totem Araquanid and Totem Togedemaru if you don't come prepared - and trust me, you don't. Random NPCs now await you at different places and use different Pokémon. Some events in Sun and Moon now occur elsewhere, like your first encounter with Team Skull in Hau'oli City, as well as the battle with Hau in Malie City and the battle with Hapu as part of your Island Challenge (previously in Vast Poni Canyon before the Kommo-o trial, now on Exeggutor Island after you have defeated Kommo-o and completed a certain eighth trial I'll get back to later in this review) - and those are only a few. For example, you now get to choose your starter Pokémon before you rescue Cosmog - more commonly known as Nebby - from the Spearow on Plank Bridge, after the starter Pokémon in question step in to rescue you from a Yungoos emerging from a patch of grass on Route 1, and you actually get to battle one of the Spearow. However, Necrozma grew frustrated and escaped through an Ultra Wormhole, which was the incentive for the Ultra Recon Squad to travel to Alola through Ultra Space and warn the region of the looming crisis.Įven though the events in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are largely the same as in Sun and Moon, it is the little changes that make the games feel fresher and more complete than their predecessors. ![]() Their people had managed to lock up Necrozma at the top of the highest tower in Ultra Megalopolis, Megalo Tower, using its light as a source of power. ![]() ![]() As a matter of fact, very early on in the game you get to make the acquaintance of the Ultra Recon Squad, a group of people from an alternate universe in which all of the light was stolen by Necrozma, whom they call 'the Blinding One'. Rather, the games take place at the same time as Sun and Moon, only in an alternate timeline in which Necrozma is the threat at hand instead of Lusamine and the Ultra Beasts. They are not sequels, like Black 2 and White 2, and don't take place years after the events of Sun and Moon. So, first things first: Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are enhanced versions of Pokémon Sun and Moon. I can never go back to playing Pokémon Sun and Moon casually and feel satisfied anymore they just don't feel complete now, as there are so many new features and events in the new games that weren't present in their predecessors. (Disclaimer: SPOILERS ALERT! Yeah, this article contains some spoilers, both major and minor, so anyone who hasn't played the games yet should proceed with caution.) I must admit that I didn't expect much of them at first, but Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon totally exceeded my expectations by a ridiculously large margin. Anyway, I guess it would be appropriate to give you my honest review of these games, just like I did with Pokémon Sun and Moon approximately a year ago. Of course you know - or at least suspect - that the new pair of Pokémon games, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, are to blame for my 'hiatus', unless you have been living under a rock for the past two weeks. After a pretty long break, I am finally back at it. ![]()
