    Looks like Europe gets a simultaneous release. Finally.

    This I am happy about. It sucked for the last two games (OR/AS and S/M) that Europe had to wait a week after the other regions, which meant having to avoid the internet for spoilers. It's such a breather to finally have a simultaneous release once again, like X/Y.

    • Niiice. Looks like I won't have to buy Moon then. Just the Ultra sequel of it. Suits me.

    Really? It's not like it really impacted us folks down under, haha.

    Being from Australia, we both had the same release date as Japan and the US. The people living on the continent of Europe were misfortunate, and I often read that they wanted to avoid the internet for a week in case if people from the other regions were posting spoilers from their own playthroughs.

    • I've warned you guys not to trust the Stars rumor nor expect DP remakes, but needless to say, no one listened to me. Now that US/UM is a thing and coming to the 3DS and not the Switch, this will further give you a lesson for making your expectations too high.

    • Really intrigued and super happy Game Freak decided to create another game in Alola, I was hoping we wouldn't get another Kalos situation again. Although, the alternate story intrigues me, could Ultra Sun and Moon be set in an alternate universe or something?

    Also, finally a European simultaneous release!

    It has been implied to be an alternate universe, but it also looks to have a story that would be a continuation from Sun & Moon.

    Gotta say. After the Pokemon Tournament DX announcement, I was really prepared to be let down... but this announcement was quite the nice save! Definitely didn't expect a third version-esque announcement so soon after SM's release. Heck, I didn't expect a third version at all, especially since XY didn't get one.

    Still, this is rather nice to hear! I've expressed on Discord that I really feel that SM's end-game set up the perfect scenario for a kind of sequel, and while this isn't a sequel, I think these games have the potential to really tie up potential loose ends in SM, which would be very pleasing.

    I was in your situation too in that I thought it was just Pokken stuff as well, but I feel Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon is an enhanced version and sequel in one, because it's likely to have features that the enhanced third versions would typically have, but it also suggests it will have a story that continues from Sun & Moon, like the case with the Unova games.

    • I'm very happy to see this. There isn't a lot to say right now other than about the new forms/new changes to your character. Sometimes I wonder if they do these very short reveals just to go on the internet and laugh at how wrong our predictions are destined to be :P

    I agree. I doubted D/P remakes (As you know, ALL of the Sinnoh legends, including the events, were available in ORAS.) and to think it would be on the switch is silly. The switch has not had many sales, as it is still kinda "new." Pokemon is likely going to stay on handhelds until the end of its time. The switch DOES have portability, but forcing fans to move to a new system is mean and a money grab, as die-hards will have to buy an NEW system, and then the games themselves. US/UM would have been a giant flop if so. Plus, even if they DID move to a new system, they wouldn't do it in the middle of a generation.
    Sinnoh confirmed can wait until Gen 8. :)

    Why does everything have to be an 'I told you so' moment? I didn't believe the Stars rumour or the DP remake theory, but I've still been wrong before and so have you - we all have. There's no need to make it a competition,

    Anyways folks, Switch release de-confirmed by Pokemon Company to Kotaku. Off the hype train I go again. Still nice news, hopefully we get some new Alolan forms (Johto anyone?)

    Ok, I was wrong when I said yesterday "watch as the Direct doesn't reveal anything interesting".

    But now the question is, will it be any good?

    This was completely unexpected and a bit shocking to say the least. The release date seems soooo far away D:

    • Third game already? Wasn't expecting it but I loved it. Too hyped can I say for this news!

    Also, I might get Ultra Moon. Ultra Solgaleo looks weird.

    • I wonder what Alola will be like. I interpreted the whole alternate story bit as us having to explore some parallel universe version of Alola.

    I really hope the story is tied into SuMo. I really want to know what happens to Lillie, Hau, and Gladion. Maybe the events in SuMo had some sort of effect on USM's Alola?

    I do hope it's a sequel, not an alternate universe thingy. We've had that way too often in Gen VI.
