Long-time Pokemon fans will get a trip down memory lane with the upcoming release of "Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon." The handheld game will be featuring familiar faces, including those that fans have loved to hate. For one, the entertaining but menacing Team Rocket is poised to make a comeback, led by the group's big boss, Giovanni.

As reported by Games Radar, the villain in a suit is up to no good once again in "Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon," and he is going to bring other known Pokemon villains to form a new group called the Rainbow Rocket. Among the members of this organization are Team Aqua and Team Magma's Archie and Maxie, Team Galactic's Cyrus, Team Plasma's Ghetsis, and Team Flare's Lysandre.

It should be expected that Team Rocket's Giovanni will cause trouble in the Alolan region, although many fans have missed seeing the character in action. The villain was last seen in "Pokemon Red and Blue." Meanwhile, "Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon" will be introducing several legendary creatures in the Pokemon universe. According to GameSpot, the games will highlight the group of extraordinary pocket monsters known as Ultra Beasts UB-Burst, UB-Assembly, and UB-Adhesive. Also set to arrive are the Legendary Pokemon from past generations.

Players will be meeting the Legendary Pokemon by several means. One way to get a rare encounter is by traveling through an Ultra Wormhole. There are some Legendary Pokemon that will only appear in given conditions, like Suicine who will pop out of nowhere when a party of Pokemon have Entei and Raikou. It should be noted, however, that some legendaries are only specific to "Pokemon Ultra Sun" and "Pokemon Ultra Moon."

Another feature of "Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon" is a new location known as The Battle Agency. Players can visit this place to rent Pokemon for their journey. These Pokemon can also be used to win battles that will reward players with Gold Bottle Caps.

"Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon" will be released for the Nintendo 3DS on Nov. 17.
