A new light shines on the Alola region!
Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon have been powered up with new additions to the story and features of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.

The islands are teeming with Pokémon, including some Alolan variants of familiar Pokémon that were originally discovered in the Kanto region. During your adventure, you’ll have multiple run-ins with the troublesome Team Skull, encounter the elusive guardian deities, and unravel a plot surrounding the mysterious Aether Foundation. There's nothing like a return trip to the wonderful, tropical Alola region!

Development[edit]
Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were originally announced during a brief Pokémon Direct on June 6, 2017.[1] According to director Kazumasa Iwao, the games were developed by a staff of around 80 people total, around half the size of the team that worked on the original Sun and Moon.[5]
Game Freak director Shigeru Ohmori has stated that the team believes that they have pushed the Nintendo 3DS system to the absolute limits of its capabilities after previously having thought so with Pokémon X and Y and Pokémon Sun and Moon, calling them "the culmination of our work with the 3DS system."[5]
