Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon – Trailers
Here’s the launch trailers for the game:
Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon – Pokémon Bank
Wondering when you will be able to use the Pokémon Bank (and Poké Transporter) with your brand new Pokémon game? The answer is… not today, unfortunately. The Pokémon Company has announced that the app would get an update in Late November, adding compatibility with Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. But in the mean time, you can still use Pokémon Bank with Pokémon Sun and Moon, obviously.

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon – Global Mission
Today, the first Gloal Mission for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon went live. It rurns until November 27th, and has players try to catch as many Pokémon as possible: 10 million, to be precise. There’s 2 000 Festival Coins for you to get if the mission is successful (only 1 000 if it’s not), with rewards x2 if you link your copy of the game to the Pokémon Global Link (not mandatory).
