Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

Today, The Pokémon Company updated the official website for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon in Japan, revealing some additional screenshots and details. We can see that this game offers more interaction with Pokémon in the world, such as being able to pet them for example.

Also, it looks like bringing one of the Cap Pikachu to the Pikachu Valley will trigger something special, though we don’t now what just yet. Finally, as you’ve probably noticed already from the various trailers revealed so far, the name of Z-Moves have been given a graphical upgrade, compared to Pokémon Sun and Moon.

Here’s the screenshots:

Also, a flyer sent to retailers in Japan reveals/confirms some of the version exclusive Pokémon:

Pokémon Ultra Moon: Lunala, Dawn Wings Necrozma, Sandshrew, Petilil, Oranguru, Shieldon, Archen, Vullaby, Manectric, UB Assembly, Pheromosa, Celesteela

Finally, The Pokémon Company has announced a special type of distribution for Japan.
