There is so much to do in this game it's unreal! There are over a hundred side quests in the game with many returning from the previous games and many new quests as well. The quests that require you to catch a certain Pokémon have all changed to another mon required. The storyline itself is almost entirely different outside of the inclusion of the Ultra Beasts.Lusamine's motives did a complete 180 in this game, which I felt was a bit of a let down but it was more true to her character's determination to protect Pokémon. The previous Post-Game UB side quest was replaced with Team Rainbow Rocket instead. There are now eight trials instead of seven with two trials remaining completely the same. The totems are different this time around too and the side stuff leading ... MoreThere is so much to do in this game it's unreal!

The previous Post-Game UB side quest was replaced with Team Rainbow Rocket instead. There are now eight trials instead of seven with two trials remaining completely the same. The totems are different this time around too and the side stuff leading up to the totem battle is different as well.It is different enough that it does have the feeling of a different game, but at the same time this game feels like what Pokémon Sun and Moon should have originally been in the first place. Glad to see this series go out with a bang before moving over to the Switch. There are many wonderful additions to the game, however it is a bit annoying to track down the legendary Pokémon since they are essentially appearing at random through the Ultra Wormhole.

I loved Ultra Moon and wanted to replay, but, I already have like 20 or so shinies (SOS, wormhole and Masuda), I didn't want to switch them all over to sun, so I bought Ultra Sun to go with it. I can wait to shiny hunt Buzzwole (another reason why I bought the game). An awesome shiny and a bug type.The shiny hunting is relatively easier in this game with method hunting. The game play is hand holding and some cutscenes are long. With no skip button, it gets kind of irritating in a second playthrough. The clothing choices are much better in Ultra than the regular sun and moon. The day cycles still confuse me (Sun and Ultra Sun are normal, but, Moon and Ultra Moon it's night time during the day). The post games are better than in previous generations, but, I'm more ... MoreI loved Ultra Moon and wanted to replay, but, I already have like 20 or so shinies (SOS, wormhole and Masuda), I didn't want to switch them all over to sun, so I bought Ultra Sun to go with it.

The post games are better than in previous generations, but, I'm more interested in completing my Shiny LivingDex. If you're new to Pokémon this game will be perfect for beginners. My mom was able to play it easily without asking a ton of questions like when I let her play my Leaf Green game. She quit after the first gym and said it was too hard.

The new mini games like mantine surf and ultra worm hole ride are really fun! I constantly play the mantine game to get between the islands. The gameplay was tightened up to feel more challenging as it was tooooo easy in Sun and Moon. The additions in the early game are really, really small, but giving the player access to totem pokemon was nice. They're just big, but it's still cool. However, the trials are predominately the same and you still follow the same path. It's kind of a slog if you've play Sun and Moon already. Most of the interesting changes come at the mid-point.However, I still prefer Sun and Moon's story. It was personal and meaningful. The Ultras are a bit disappointing because Pokemon actually attempted to make a great story (with save the world ... MoreThe new mini games like mantine surf and ultra worm hole ride are really fun!

The Ultras are a bit disappointing because Pokemon actually attempted to make a great story (with save the world shenanigans) in Sun and Moon and then went back to the generic save the world as the only plot. The main story in the Ultras is like a dumb action popcorn flick, but that can be fun too.TL;DR I'd give it 92/100 as a solid A.

Sun and Moon were good games, and this is a great game! It reminds me of the older games, such as Ruby as Sapphire, which would be followed by a third version that was better in practically every way. While having an Ultra Sun AND an Ultra Moon might be a touch necessary, there is no question about which is the superior game. Compared to its predecessor, this game has:- More refined dialogue. One of Sun and Moon's weaknesses was the incessant dialogue throughout the game. This has been cleaned up.- Less hand-holding. The game does still drag in places, but it no longer feels the need to hold your hand throughout the first two hours of gameplay. I still wish there was an option to indicate to the game that you know what you're doing, but that's a problem all Pokemon ... MoreSun and Moon were good games, and this is a great game!

If you're like me and you like a challenging game, Sun and Moon were probably a disappointment in that regard. In my opinion, Ultra Sun hits the perfect balance between too challenging and too easy. It's a tough game, but no so much you'd want to put it down.- Better post-game. Sun and Moon had a very short post game (even though it was fun), and Ultra Sun has improved on that. It's longer and more challenging - I'm still playing long after completing the main game!- Better graphics throughout- And heaps of added content. There's new stuff everywhere. Even if you just finished playing Sun and Moon, Ultra Sun had enough new content to keep me searching arou.

Thr one star reviews are unfair. If you bought it here or are reviewing here, you have internet. If you have internet you can go to Pokémons website, Nintendos website, or YouTube (testers and big blogers got them months ago) to learn the differences between the games regular and Ultra ganes. It was never presented as a brand new game. It was always marketed as more- a little more content in the same game.My son is 8 and resets his Pokemon games and replays the same game several times a year. I can play through BotW or any game once, after that, I beat it and I am done. If the person your buying for replays games buy this even if they have Sun/Moon already! If they have Sun go with Ultra Moon or if they have Moon go with Ultra Sun that way it is even more of a ... MoreThr one star reviews are unfair.

Pokemon Ultra Sun is a big improvement from Pokemon X and Y. (Though Pokemon X/Y are amazing) you can really tell the art style and the battle graphics have taken a huge leap from the previous games. The game has a great story line that takes place in Alola, a unique region with alolan Pokemon and the all new Z-moves. Though I prefer mega evolution to Z-moves Z-moves are a great alternative. Pokemon Ultra Sun is a game with many things to do and you don't have to do what the game wants you to do you can do whatever you want whenever you want. The new trial and grand trials are unique and challenging (believe me it took 12 tries to defeat Kommo-O) and it is a really good attempt to change things up from the normal gyms. Also festival plaza is a great new addition to ... MorePokemon Ultra Sun is a big improvement from Pokemon X and Y.

Also festival plaza is a great new addition to the game where you can connect with others if the story gets to hard and just complete missions or do wonder trades. The GTS is also a great feature brought back from Pokemon X and Y but you have to be careful because some trades can give you a virus if not legitimate (My festival plaza was blocked for 3 days after trading with hacker.) Also the breeding feature is great and a way to get rare Pokemon easily. Team RR was a great after story adventure featuring previous villains Lysandre, Geovanni Ext. There are so many post game things to do breed Pokemon, Festival plaza, Mantine surfing and you can travel through Ultra space. The game also features people from Pokemon X and Y like Sina, Dexio, Lysandre, and Looker.

Spent so many hours playing this game. Lots to do. Cool character customization.-Major changes-There are many differences between regular and ultra. I’ll list the major ones.The worst part is that they killed Lusamine’s storyline/character by changing her personality. She was my favorite character so this was disappointing.They added beaches and a surfing option to gain bp.The added the option to ride in ultra space. You can get legendary Pokémon and for regular Pokémon there is an increased shiny chance.They took away the postgame content with looker and annabell. This was another disappointing change. But in this one you can catch limitless ultrabeasts (except blascephelon and stakataka)The postgame content in this one is based on team rocket and there are ... MoreSpent so many hours playing this game.

Similar to Pokemon Black and White 2; Pokémon Ultra Moon takes place in the same area as Pokemon Sun, Alola but with an alternate storyline, new pokemon to collect and a few new features.Here are the list of changes/additions:1. Story puts emphasis on the legendary Pokémon Necrozma. The core story of the Alolan trails stay the same. Alola map layout is the same with exception of a few new buildings, a new mini-island Ultra Megalopolis and worm hole. 3/4 of the game will feel very familiar to you plot wise if you played the original sun/moon2. New enemy Group: Ultra Recon Squad and Team Rainbow Rocket. You can fight against all team rocket leaders in past games such as Giovanni (Pokémon Red and Blue) to Lysandre (Pokémon X and Y).3. 3 new Ultra Beasts: UB Assembly, ... MoreSimilar to Pokemon Black and White 2; Pokémon Ultra Moon takes place in the same area as Pokemon Sun, Alola but with an alternate storyline, new pokemon to collect and a few new features.Here are the list of changes/additions:1.

ProsIt's fun.This the first time new Pokémon have been introduced in a sequel. Not just new forms. I mean new never before seen Pokémon.Kurt's apricorn pokeballs return!Pokémon that where once shiny locked are now legitimately shiny huntable. Yveltal, Xerneas, and the Ultra Beasts too.There are more clothing options.New areas to explore.Cons.The golf course near Hano beach is still unaccessible. It's a shame, because a lot of fans some kind of Island Trial or Pokémon golf mini game.While its good that Kurt's apricorn pokeballs returned, they are still in limited supply.It would have been nice if Game Freak added a new NPC character that made apricorn pokeballs. Maybe Kurt could have taken on an apprentice? Maybe that person could have moved to Alola and started ... MoreProsIt's fun.This the first time new Pokémon have been introduced in a sequel.

I've played Pokemon Sun and Moon and I'm happy to say that this sister game is much better. Let me make a short list of what makes this game better than its predecessors and what just simply makes Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon awesome but I will include the stuff that weren't that great:1. Expanded Pokedex. This lets players choose from a way bigger selection of Pokemon to use. Includes older Pokemon that are always cool to use.2. The story of the game is much more fleshed out and exciting. Keeps one glued to your 3DS (or 2DS).3. Like the past game, you need to worry about HM moves, enabling a player to use any Pokemon they want without consequence.4. The region itself is a little expanded and improved with new locations and better layouts for some older places.It ... MoreI've played Pokemon Sun and Moon and I'm happy to say that this sister game is much better.

The region itself is a little expanded and improved with new locations and better layouts for some older places.It wouldn't be right if I didn't include some drawbacks to this game (related to the gameplay and my personal observations of it). These are:1. You need to download a update (or patch) since as it is, they are glitches (Why? I believe it's because the franchise rushed this game out too fast and it's a shame as no other Pokemon game has had this problem). One glitch for example is that the game may freeze up if you choose Litten as your starter. So get the patch at the Nintendo Shop (It's free).2. There was not that much improvement, expansion, or changes to the region layout. Many of the places look exactly the same as the Sun and Moon. I expected more structures, cooler looking routes,or more daunting cities and towns.3..
