The new trailer is here and it might be my favorite trailer thus far. Before we get into the particulars you can watch it for yourself here or the Japanese trailer here. Now, let's get into the good stuff!
First of all, Giovanni has returned and he is not alone. This time, he has Team Rainbow Rocket. The team includes every team leader from Kanto to Kalos! I do mean all of the leaders: Giovanni, Maxie, Archie, Cyrus, Ghetsis, and Lysandre. That is amazing. Plus, Maxie and Archie look like they did in the original Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald games. How is this possible? According to leaks on 4chan, Giovanni recruited team leaders from dimensions where they were victorious. The changed appearances of Maxie and Archie certainly seem to support this theory. At any rate, I love the appearances of these two and wish Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire had looked that good. I was never a fan of their updated looks. Anyway, neither Guzma nor Lusamine are shown in the English trailer so I wonder if they are part of Rainbow Rocket or not. A quick clip in the Japanese trailer shows Guzma holding back some Rainbow Rocket grunts so he is probably not part of the new team. Either way, I am already excited and terrified about facing Giovanni and his Mewtwo.
Next up in the Battle Agency. This is apparently a new take on the Battle Factory from past Gen 3 and 4 games. You can rent a powerful Pokémon then engage in one-on-one battles. Battling powerful characters gets you a reward of rare items. The items in question were not specified but it is assumed it would probably be things for breeding or competitive play. You character also gets a cool pair of shades to wear while battling. Okay...why? Also, do you choose which pair you will wear or is it based on your character? It's not very clear.
Remember all the fun of collecting Zygarde cells? It's back - but this time it is Totem Stickers. Instead of a legendary, you get Totem-sized Pokémon for collecting stickers. Okay, again, great, I guess. But, is it any Pokémon of your choice or just the Totem Pokémon from the different trials?? It's not very clear on this subject either. What is clear is that Totem Lurantis is exclusive to Ultra Sun while Salazzle in exclusive to Ultra Moon.
Next, the Island Scan returns with some new Pokémon shown like Charmander and Greninja. I didn't use this feature last time this means very little to me. It's still cool, but I will probably not being using it. The last part is another big one: legendaries that you can encounter through worm holes in ultra space! They are: Mewtwo, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Ho-oh, Lugia, Entei, Suicune, Raikou, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Latios, Latias, Regice, Regirock, Registeel, Dialga, Palkia, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Regigigas, Cresselia, Heatran, Giratina, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus, Yveltal, Xerneas, and Zygarde. That is a lot of legendaries. Still, some of the best ones are missing but it is still a lot. Of course, there will be game exclusives and some legendaries will require the other two of their trio to appear but it is still amazing. It also seems to include mega evolutions, primal forms, and fusions (Unova dragons). I can't wait to catch 'em all!
Well, that's it for this week. I hope you enjoyed this post and will follow me so you don't miss out on future posts. Leave a comment below telling me what you thought of this new trailer. Have a good weekend and as always, keep on gaming!!
