A new trailer has come out for Ultra Sun and Moon this past week. It isn't very long but it gives some more interesting information for us to ponder as the release dates looms ever near. Let's get right into it!
First of all, it confirms that the island trials will return aka still no gyms. This saddens me since I prefer gyms to the trials. Anyway, I am curious about the trials of Sophocles and Acerola since the clips shown seem to hint towards them being slightly different from the original trials. It appears that the Fairy trial captain, Mina, from Poni Island has also finally set up her own trial. However, she still has that weird streak of paint on her face and hair... why? It would drive me nuts to have paint in my hair all the time but that's apparently doesn't bother her one bit. I guess I could tolerate the paint on her if it wasn't so oddly done... is it supposed to be tribal or is she just so into her art that she doesn't notice when she's accidentally splashed paint on herself? Either way, I don't watch the anime so I guess I will never know.
Lily and Hau will be returning as your companions yet again. Lily is in her second outfit and Hau seems a bit more serious this time around. This means it either takes place later in the storyline (like B2W2) or it could just be an alternate retelling (Platinum). Speaking of changes, there will also be over 400 Pokémon to catch in Alola. This includes 2 exclusives: Houndoom for Ultra Sun and Manectric for Ultra Moon. I'm not particularly excited for either of these so I won't take them into consideration when I pick which game I want to purchase.
That mysterious multi-colored building with stars on it is the new Photo Club. It feels like they took parts of existing optional game activities and combined them. It still looks fun and I look forward to taking photos of my starter. However, the best part of the trailer comes after the Photo Club. Mantine Surfing looks awesome! You can surf between islands and apparently can do tricks on Mantine as well. Combine that with some of the best music yet and it looks like a blast! I can't wait to try it.
The Japanese trailer shows the same thing for the most part. It does show more available Pokémon like Dedenne which I want to catch so badly. I just hope it's easy to encounter. It shows the Photo Club with the female character. It also shows what appears to be a Totem Alolan Marowak. Another interesting point is footage of Hau running up to you with his Torracat at his side. Could this confirm that Pokémon will be able to walk with you? It's hard to say...
Finally, it shows images from a Japanese promotional poster. I find it interesting that Lily is show holding a Poké Ball since she wasn't a trainer in the first games. The poster also shows what appear to be the villains or evil team but the figures are shown in shadow and it is hard to tell for certain. Still, these 2 trailers have gotten me even more curious about Ultra Sun and Moon. I just hope there will be more new Pokémon than just the Necrozma forms and Dusk form Lycanroc.
