Pokémon UltraSun & UltraMoon |OT| What is this, a crossover episode?
- Thread starter CannonFodder52
- Start date
Watching thread. The game is pretty low on my "to play" list, but I won't be surprised if I end up buying and playing it, like, next week or so anyway.
It has probably been asked countless times before, but just to be sure:
1) Can you trade between SM and USUM? (I honestly don't see why not, but you never know.)
2) Is the 12-hour difference of in-game time still there? Like it's night in UM when it's actually day in real life?

The difference IVs make is often exaggerated. At low levels, the difference between 0 and perfect is just a couple stat points, which will only be the difference for a hit point or two... if that, with the low power moves you have access to at that point.
I popped Moon into my old 3DS and did a side by side just out of curiosity.
The hotel in Heahea City has a second floor added with at least 2 new sidequests and some new funny/weird NPC interactions. There's a whole beach behind the hotel in Ultra that doesn't exist in vanilla Moon. The way you get to the island is entirely different too. And there are move tutors with cool stuff like Fire Punch and Signal Beam before my Pokemon have even hit level 20.
This is two screens worth of space that I've compared, and there are substantial differences to be found. If you're a hardcore fan this game is definitely worth a look.

I'm at Hao'oli city. The game is still really samey. The only new Pokémon I've noticed in the wild so far are Zorua, Buneary and Inkay which are...Okay I guess. The beginning is not that different from the original.
Yeah, when I heard how similar they were, that's when I decided to do a Nuzlocke run to mix things up. Having fun and going well so far, but already a bit scared for the Totem fights...
Oh, didn't see it answered yet, but the gift Rockruff comes at L10 and can be nicknamed.
I think I have a Thick Club lying around in Sun, will trade it asap to US then thanks!
And Shadow Bone is not an evolution move? And It is learned *before* Cubone evolves into A-Marowak?! What were they thinking?
Guess I'll need to trade Marowak back to Sun aswell to learn Shadow Bone if I want to use it before endgame.
Speaking of trading, any idea when the bank is supposed to be updated for USUM support? That would make it much easier to move around Pokémon.
Oh I was planning on using Alolan Marowak, so that sucks to hear.
Will be fun to see how much it improves when i get both those things lol
A bit gutted that the Totem Pokemon are shiny locked and can't pass down their size. I would have loved to get a shiny totem Mimikyu

I'm actually surprised they didn't change Alolan Marowak's moveset so it would learn Shadow Bone one level later.
That's pretty lame, especially considering you can manually trade stuff over from Sun/Moon. Guess I'll just take my playthrough slow until Bank is updated.
Well that's lame. Don't want to start without that 4000+ BP I've saved up.
This is stupid. Now I have to bother someone to trade over the Pokémon I bread for this run through
To be fair, it's already late November. We might only be waiting a week. That gives you some time to play the game unadultered before pumping in all your late-game super soldiers.
I'll probably be manually trading anyway because I didn't grind for all those Power Items just to have to do it again...
Thanks! Also what level is the special rockruff? I heard it's level 10? If so means we can't use him right away since he won't listen :(
I was not going to buy this day 1 as of a few days ago but I convinced myself to get it today over the past 12 hours. Ugh. I don't need more Pokémon in my life and yet...
So the world actually has some small changes that make the original experience a bit different and better?
Ugh can't wait for my paycheck >.>
It will be my final 3DS game i buy unless they release pokemon crystal, then it's that.

Cool, was not planning to get Pokebank untill Pokemon Switch is out so that's fantastic. What happens btw if you don't extend your sub, will they delete your pokemons or keep them stored for a period of time still?
Contrary Inkay is looking to be a very interesting early-game Pokémon. Most enemies know a basic stat reducing move, so Inkay just goes to town.
I will replace him later, but he is an MVP for now.

I'm going to need some help trading 3 Pokémon from Sun to Ultra Moon. You gonna be able to help me out?
Assuming your willing to trade over a few Pokemon than I suggest using a....FLYING TYPE Team!!! You would be surprise on how versatile the move set of flying types can be specially if you add tutors and TMs into the mix. If trading over a few Pokemon isnt possible than go with a Grass or I ce type team.
And I just spent a bunch of time moving all my boxes into the Bank for today. Well shit.
I probaly don't want to trade during the main game, but even so there should be more than enough flying things to catch I guess.
I am also intrigued by dark and ghost, but I think Moon may be the better version for those two.
I've read reports of Pokemon being retrievable for a certain period after a sub expires. I haven't come across a concrete time span though, and it's not something I'd count on.
Maybe later tonight I've been sick all week with a nasty stomach bug
Here we go again. Guess I'll download it and get to work. When Version 3/4 come out I always prepare a perfect team Pokémon in the previous game. Pokémon that are fun and maybe odd ball choices to em to take on the whole adventure. I make sure the ability, IV's and egg moves are perfect, hatch em then reset the eggs and store them in the box. I hatch them early on in the new game and go on the whole adventure with my perfect Pokémon that I songbird have to worry about breeding again later.
Anyone who played Sun/Moon already have some impressions? Kind of hesitant on this one, doesn't seem like a big change over Sun/Moon.
Are these the Pokemon bad guys? It's crazy that I've played every Pokemon mainline RPG since the first game when it released, and I've beaten almost all of them twice over, yet I can't remember or name a single one of these people except for Giovanni. Pokemon has such astonishingly terrible villains. I remember that one of them was called Lysandre but which one that is I could not say. The dude with the blue Bandana on is definitely gen 3, too. I can say that much.
Excited to get home and try this. Glad I never played through the other game like I'd planned last year considering how same-y these seem.
