Confirmed Future Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon News Dates
 
The last official trailer sort of hit us by surprise didn't it?

I know I was hit by surprise, especially since I stalk Serebii and the official Twitter account for Pokémon weekly and they said nothing about it.

Last year, we had a thread where we posted when we would get official news dates and it would prepare us for the coming date. I know we have the monthly prediction threads, but they're predictions and this is for confirmed dates for US/UM news and we all know how disappointed we were in July.

I made this thread so we can post confirmed news dates and speculate about the news we might be getting as the date approaches.

For example if we hear that September 13 is a confirmed US/UM news date through the grapevine, we can speculate on the coming news and speculate on what news we'll be getting.

September 29th seems to be a significant day according to some fans, with some toy reveals on Pokéshopper.com, they could herald some news.

janejane6178 September 5th, 2017 2:21 AM

Well I hope they care to annoucne anything significant this time around.

pkmin3033 September 5th, 2017 2:54 AM

I'm quietly screaming at you right now for not having some confirmed news dates, just so you know

Some advance warning of news dates would be nice, and it is typical industry practice to have announcements of announcements at this point.

WingsofBliss September 5th, 2017 3:07 AM

The trailer at Worlds wasn't a surprise at all; a lot of people in the fandom were expecting it because it's been a tradition for the past few years to receive news of sorts at Worlds. The only people that it surprised were the ones who went on the extreme opposite end of the hype train and had an unreasonably pessimistic view of things because they were spoiled with monthly news of the original SM. People just need to chill and be patient.

Also, lack of news doesn't mean they're going to be horrible games. IIRC, there was a similar news pattern with Platinum and BW2, and those turned out to be some of the most popular games in their respective Generations.

Alexander18 September 5th, 2017 5:16 PM

I don't mind being surprise as long as we get better news than last month.

This is important to remember, news is only released as a marketing tool, if they don't release it its their loss, not ours.

I agree. And I have to say that their marketing so far has been aweful. My hype lvl is 0 atm since all we've gotten is a new Lycanroc form ( which wasn't so unique ) and a photo club...

You said it, Bliss! Just because these games didn't have as much news released in the lead-up doesn't stop them from being the best games of their generation.

Well I hope you're right..

blue September 6th, 2017 8:45 AM

I think it's also the fact that the news flow constantly gets compared to how Sun and Moon were marketed which happened to have plenty more trailers but with good reason. They were completely new games marking the beginning of a new generation whereas USM are follows up which means they probably don't need as many trailers as Sun and Moon did. USM are set in the same region having the same starters, Pokémon etc so there's already less content to be covered. Having said that though, I still feel at this point so far long we should have more than one official trailer to go by.

Hikamaru September 6th, 2017 3:41 PM

It is true that the first games of a new generation do have more trailers because it has more to cover, such as new Pokemon. With sequels/remakes/third versions, you don't have as much new content to go around which explains why there's been less trailers.

Alexander18 September 6th, 2017 4:03 PM

Yeah. We only got a few months before release so they should reveal some more info soon. They need to build the hype up a bit more so that fans are more likely to get USUM.

PkmnTrainerElio September 11th, 2017 6:50 AM

BREAKING NEWS

A Nintendo Direct has been confirmed for September 13! So, that might bear good fruits, Arceus willing, we'll get some Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon news. And to heighten our hype, excitement and hunger for news, Joe Merrick (Serebii) has a good feeling about it too.

Hikamaru September 11th, 2017 7:01 AM

It's said that this Direct will be covering both Switch and 3DS games, so it's definitely likely US/UM coverage will be there.

pokestar1993 September 11th, 2017 7:23 AM

The direct is also said to cover the games coming out in the next couple of months. The direct that gave us the info on Alolan Rattata and the exclusive Z-moves covered 3DS games coming out in both 2016 and 2017. The major 3DS games that will be coming out in the next few months are Metroid: Samus Returns, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

That's what I'm thinking. Of all the upcoming games for the 3DS, USUM is by far the biggest title to release in the next couple of months so I really can't see why they wouldn't cover it in a Direct so close to the release date.

Kartanaheart September 11th, 2017 7:57 AM

I'd hope they do say something. My hype hasn't been sustained well. Not like last year, where SM was the only thing on my mind.

Iceshadow3317 September 11th, 2017 10:40 AM

I'd expect at least a few minutes. Maybe a new trailer and please give us confirmation if we are getting at least new Alolan Pokemon and hopefully not more Kanto ones. My hopes of the game are riding on if we get new Alolan Pokemon or not. It is hard to get excited about second/third versions. Never have I been hyped for them until BW2 because we had a continuation of BW. I have never played Platinum so I can't say much about it.

Anyways, has Corocoro started to leak yet? Haven't see anything about it, although it probably won't have anything big. However, if we get anything in Corocoro, that might be what we get in the Direct.

Alexander18 September 11th, 2017 11:27 AM

Don't count on corocoro or direct to have USUM news. We probably have another month of nothing. Pokken tournament is likely getting focus.

Pyrax September 11th, 2017 11:53 AM

I'm not expecting much in terms of Pokémon news. It's not guaranteed we'll even be getting USM news at all.

Not yet. It'll probably leak within the next week or two.

????
This month's Corocoro has a small image of S/M's boxart and last years Nintendo Direct for September revealed Alolan Ratatta and I believe Alolan Raticate too and Snorlax, Snorlium Z and it's Z-Move.

I don't expect anything major in terms of US/UM news with the Direct, but I expect something, maybe a little teaser with a few reveals and I'm optimistic that maybe we'll get more news on US/UM in the coming weeks.

Or we just get another month with no news. I expect that to happen more than expecting actual news.

Might is a bit of a stretch considering last months news wasn't too exciting.

Desert Stream~ September 12th, 2017 2:21 AM

The news starts to ramp up as the release date starts approaching, I personally would be suprised if we didn't get news.

Hikamaru September 12th, 2017 2:51 AM

Hau's right. Be positive and optimistic!

Considering we're now two months away from release, the news will very likely start to ramp up so even if we may not get much in the Direct, it will still be enough to get the hype train going.

Alexander18 September 12th, 2017 2:54 AM

Get almost nothing in direct is basically nothing. GF hasn't really released satisfying info since the games announcement. How can anyone be positive when the games are looking like a copy and paste?

Hikamaru September 12th, 2017 2:58 AM

I'm pretty sure US/UM are looking to be like the Alolan Form of B2/W2, similar format as its original paired version but definitely with some new features and redesigned protagonists.

That said, still surprised the CoroCoro scans haven't leaked yet.

First off, we dont know enough to judge whether or not these games will be a copy-paste. Nobody's forcing you to even buy these games, so who are you to question other people on being positive?

Just because you didn't think Lycanroc news wasn't exciting, doesn't many everyone has the same opinion as you. You are very negative person compared to a lot of people on this site. There are people who stay positive even if we don't get nothing.

I for one loved the Lycanroc reveal and I think it was just enough news. News picks up and this is likely one of the last Corocoro that we will have. We will have one in October, which may have more news, but that is considered November and I don't recall getting much in November's issue last year.

The direct is a good way to show of a small amount of news, even if it is just a new trailer. Even a small 1 minute trailer with new footage would make a nice news report for the month.


Also please tell me when a 3rd version or remake has ever been something more than a copy and paste other than adding a few new areas? BW2 is the only thing that wasn't that that was a 1 time thing so far. We have new areas on the map which some people refuse to see as new things, but that could very likely lead to new storyline or new areas. So it isn't simply a copy and paste.

Hikamaru September 12th, 2017 4:24 AM

Personally, I feel the notable lack of news might mean we have more to be surprised about when the game releases.

blue September 12th, 2017 4:55 AM

Considering how last year's Nintendo Direct revealed Alolan Rattata and some exclusive Z-moves, I'm hopeful we'll at least get some news for Ultra Sun & Moon. At the very least I'm now expecting them to talk about the forms mentioned in this month's CoroCoro.

Agreed, either they have nothing to hide or they have quite a bit to hide.

Pokken Lucario September 12th, 2017 6:39 AM

I feel next month we will get news rapid fire like sun and moon.
the game is out in 2 months, we should getting more trailers and a good reveales soon.

I am still buying them but it looks like nothing new. I am not questioning people on being positive. I am concern that these games are not up to the standards required to be good games.

Lycranroc form is not that exciting. It is event locked and is not enough news to get the hype going. The photo shop thing is just a joke that is pointless in my opinion. Kommo-o z move is good but it doesn't keep the hype going.

There are no new areas on the map. Alola looks the same as SM. A minute trailer on direct wouldn't mean much to me because it would not contain good amount of info.

So forgive me if the news are not exciting me so far. Anyway, corocoro revealed that the new forms are necrozma and the names for them. That is not enough info for me either.

WingsofBliss September 12th, 2017 2:23 PM

What's got me baffled is that it took this long since the first reveal for people to realize that it's an alternate story, which likely means drastic changes from SM story-wise. Did people not listen to Masuda back in June when he said word-for-word that USUM is an alternate story in the SM universe?

Well, keep in mind most people were disappointed back then because it wasn't Diamond & Pearl remakes.

That made no sense since ORAS is the remakes of the 3DS. People were wanting something that was never gonna happen on the 3DS. Nothing pointed to DP remakes so people got their hopes up for something they know was not gonna happen.

Anyway, with almost zero news we got from corocoro, nintendo direct is very likely to have nothing interesting.

If you don't think they're gonna be good games, shouldn't you wait until the reviews come out before getting them?

The lycanroc form might not be that exciting in your opinion, but it breaks down barriers and introduces the possibility of other forms being added. The photo club might not be a huge announcement (again, in your opinion) but again, if they can add one feature nothing is stopping them from adding more.

There are new areas on the map, and some areas have been significantly changed. While at a glance it may look the same, upon closer inspection there are obvious differences.

Also CoroCoro is a magazine based in Japan, you shouldn't expect them to make huge announcements unless those announcements get put in an english trailer soon after.

Map is just the same. Nothing worth seeing. Photo club seems to be the only feature and that is not worth doing in the game. Dusk Lycanroc doesn't necessarily point to more forms.

I don't think we be getting a trailer. These months have been unimpressive. Not a good way to promote the games. We have not see any new alola forms. That says something.

That'll be around 12 midday Thursday for me. Shame I'm going to miss it but hopefully it's covered stuff along with what CoroCoro had.

Iceshadow3317 September 15th, 2017 7:50 PM

We got a surprising amount of news this month. It is still possible that we will get more new news on the 29th since that store said reveled on the 29th.

It could be the new UBs, but it could also be ones we don't know about.

Alexander18 September 15th, 2017 8:23 PM

Don't rely on the 29th. It is more likely to have nothing. May be next month would have far better and satisfying news but i am not that hopeful. But we will see.

Who knows, I don't expect any news, because it was pretty much confirmed by Verlisify and he's as trustworthy as a member of Team Skull!

IMHO, we got a pretty good batch of news this month, which is enough in my book, if the S/M news would have been monthly and not fortnightly, the games wouldn't have been spoiled so badly.

blue September 16th, 2017 8:51 AM

29th is definitely a possiblity, I mean by that time we'll be less than two months away from release date which would be a good time for another trailer. October and November will hopefully be more promising, it all just depends on what they have to show and how much they can/are willing to show. After the fiasco with the demo and how much got leaked during the Sun & Moon news period, I wouldn't be surprised if this time around they want to keep things as secretive as possible. That could be the reason why we've had hardly any news on USUM, that or there's just not as much content to show off in trailers which is more likely the case.

Desert Stream~ September 16th, 2017 10:20 AM

It's possible that the 29th is just more stuff pertaining to the ultra beasts that were revealed, although it's an odd date to do that :/

PkmnTrainerElio September 29th, 2017 9:22 PM

Looks like there was no news on the 29th. I wasn't expecting it anyway, as Verlisify had started the rumor.

Hikamaru September 30th, 2017 12:12 AM

Well, the 29th was a lie.

The one time we got proven wrong.

Pokken Lucario September 30th, 2017 3:50 AM

the battle is today in 2 hours.

MKC September 30th, 2017 5:22 AM

Apparently it was supposed to be on the 29th but got postponed for the 30th, we'll probably get the news later today, I'm not expecting anything mayor, but any new gameplay is always welcome.

janejane6178 September 30th, 2017 9:00 AM

I really love it when new games Pokemon are getting released. But we havn't gotten any major news regarding SuMo.. Only 2 Ub's which I dont love its concept ( UB's in general). If its just gonna be like a third version..
I really want new stuff like Alolan forms/ new major areas/GYMS/ a better battle facility etc.. but since we havne't gotten any news regarding any of this so far then I think it wont happen =[

blue October 4th, 2017 12:39 AM

A Japanese variety show will have a global premier of USUM footage tomorrow. Whether or not it gives us new information or not I don't know, but it sounds like new footage which is definitely something to look forward to!

Hikamaru October 4th, 2017 1:07 AM

I think I heard about this news due to one of Verlisify's videos, but hey at least it'll hint we'll get our first piece of news for the month.

Iceshadow3317 October 4th, 2017 6:43 AM

I think there is no doubt new imformation, but it may be new areas and what not. Possibly the Pikachu Island or where ever all those Pikachu were at.

Usually these types of shows don't show much off anymore, so I don't think it will be a lot of new info.

I'm keeping my expectations low tbh. Any new information from Oha Suta this week can't be that big imo, otherwise it would've been mentioned in last week's preview.

I have been wondering the same thing. I am going to guess 8 to 10 their time so between 3 to 5 hours I would say. i don't know what time the show comes on.

Edit: According to what I see on the internet, I can't read Japanese so I could be wrong, it comes on at 7:05 and stays on till 7:30. So I guess in about 2 hours.

So there is a new team apart from Aether and Skull. Interesting. A Region with 3 villainous teams.

Have they been confirmed to be their own team? They could be another division of Aether.

According of everything I have read, it is another team. Even Serebii seems to think it is another team. According to what comments have said, they were dragging Lusamine away. But I can't read japanese so I don't know.

Interesting... that makes me wonder if things will extend past the battle with Lusamine in the Ultra Dimension.

next news should be around corocoro, hope they have at least one something new.

blue October 6th, 2017 3:41 AM

I have a feeling CoroCoro will likely just cover what was in the most recent trailer as lately it hasn't been that much of a reliable source for new information. Still hoping but I wouldn't be surprised. D:

PkmnTrainerElio October 6th, 2017 3:47 AM

I agree with Blue, I don't expect much out of Corocoro, though I think we got some more news in Corocoro last year when we were getting a Su/Mo trailer every fortnight.

Would like to hear something about PokéBank compatibility for USUM...

Alexander18 October 18th, 2017 7:50 PM

All these trailers seem to be out of the blue. They don't seem to alert these days. But i don't mind. Getting surprised one morning by new things is cool.

Yeah, they started not alerting as much with OrAS irc, since then it has only become more common.

Team Rocket seems to be confirmed for USUM. Not thrilled to be honest. They are the worst evil team of the franchise.

Team Flare was awesome. Team Rocket was nothing compare to them in my opinion.

how? All they did was almost copy past of team galactic and their motivation was cliche.

That is false. Both plans and motivations of both teams are different to each other. Look it up. They are clearly different and original. This is fact.

Team flare was a joke tbqh. Team rocket may not have much, but at least they were believable.

Disagree. Team Flare did more than Team Rocket ever. Team Rocket was the real joke. Their goal/misson made no sense and made the story of Kanto and johto pointless and boring.

Did more =\= better. You need motivation to be a well written character. Team rocket wanted money, makes sense team flare wanted to destroy the world and have just team flare members survive. There's no motivation, and their goal is kinda stupid. How are you supposed to destroy the world, except for a select few people?

WingsofBliss October 26th, 2017 3:07 PM

So people completely ignored the screenshot I posted and don't have any hypothesis as to when the next trailer could drop, and instead decided to fight about if Rocket or Flare are better than the other. Nice.

They had the ultimate weapon. It made forsense for Team Flare and they had motivation.

Team Rocket however showed no motivation and their plans were awful in both Kanto and Johto. I have a bad feeling they be just as awful in alola. Hope i am wrong.

I think that screenshot you posted was an old one. I remember seeing it before (but could've been from a speculation video...)

Well considering you posted that in a different thread

Idk it didn't look like anything much to me, but I'm probably blind :p

Well the nice thing about Team Rocket is that they are a little more realistic on their goals. They mirror that of criminals of our world, wanting only money and power. The goons themselves were a little out of control, and weren't managed well, so hopefully Giovanni has learned a thing or two about how to manage large scale mafia operations the right way.

As for their appearance in the games, I'm pretty thrilled regardless, we already know of Team Skull and Aether's presence, as well as the Ultra Recon squad, all three of which have motives (as far as USUM are concerned) are currently unknown until the games come out. Interesting to see a fourth group enter the scene, no matter which team it is.

Bulbapedia is reporting that more news will be released on Nov. 2nd at 10:00 PM JST.

Serebii is reporting it as well.

Pyrax October 26th, 2017 11:06 PM

This is also one of Gamefreak's last chances to reveal something huge - we got the fully evolved starters and the Battle Tree this time last year. A Team Rocket announcement seems likely imo, at least judging from the download card.

Alexander18 October 26th, 2017 11:45 PM

I don't think it be alolan forms. They are not a big feature. Plus the interview said no new alolan forms. Anyway, GF has shown more interested in new z moves so z moves sre apparently more important.

They might reveal the other legendaries available or reveal the post game or something else. I doubt it be alolan forms.

WingsofBliss October 27th, 2017 2:56 AM

Definitely going for Rocket reveal and most likely other things as well. Hopefully not too much is revealed though.
