Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

In a recent interview, Shigeru Ohmori confirmed there were still new details about Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon to be revealed. And it looks like that includes Team Rocket! Screenshots found on the download card for the game show two Team Rocket members, but that’s pretty much all we know so far.

It’s not clear whether Team Rocket plays any role at all in the story, if there’s mere cameo characters, or if they’re just opponents found at the Battle Tree. Hopefully, we will have more details about that in the near future!

Also, in an interview with Eurogamer Portugal, it’s been revealed that the points earned in Mantine Surf could be used to get items, but also to have Move Tutors teach your Pokémon moves they could not learn in Pokémon Sun and Moon.

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon (3DS) comes out on November 17th, worldwide.

Pokémon Sun and Moon – Cap Pikachu #6

Heads up, Pokémon Sun and Moon players: the 6th and final Cap Pikachu distribution is now live, and runs until October 30th! It allows you to get a special Pikachu wearing Ash/Satoshi’s cap from the Alola region. To get it, you need to use the following Serial Code: PIKACHU20. But as explained before, you cannot get this Pikachu if you already got the one wearing the original, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, or Kalos caps (the Serial Code can only be used once).
