'Pokemon Ultra Sun' and 'Ultra Moon' to include 20 years of Pokemon villains and legendary Pokemon
The latest installment of the Pokemon video game series, "Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon," will be released in two weeks. When it arrives, players will have a formidable group of foes to battle with, as 20 years of Pokemon villains will be working together in the game. To defeat them, players will also be able to utilize almost every legendary Pokemon from past titles.
A new trailer for the upcoming game has been revealed, showing that villains from past Pokemon games will be present in "Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon." Giovanni from the first generation games, Archie and Maxie from "Ruby and Sapphire," Cyrus from "Diamond and Pearl," Ghetsis from "Black and White" and Lysandre from "X and Y" will be banding together to form the new villainous Team Rainbow Rocket.
The antagonists' reasons for grouping together was not revealed in the trailer, but it did reveal that Giovanni, who seems to have retained his boss status even among the franchise's villains, is in possession of the powerful legendary Pokemon Mewtwo, which he will be using in battle.
In the anime, it has been revealed that Team Rocket was responsible for creating the cloned legendary Pokemon, but this is the first time that this fact is acknowledged in the role-playing games.
The good news is that players will also have legendary Pokemon to fight Team Rainbow Rocket. Almost all the legendary Pokemon from the past titles are also available for players to capture and battle with.
The availability of the legendary Pokemon will depend on which version is being played, while some appear only when legendary Pokemon from both games are present.
Ho-Oh, Raikou, Groudon, Latios, Dialga, Heatran, Reshiram, Tornadus, and Xerneas will be available through "Pokemon Ultra Sun," while "Pokemon Ultra Moon" will include Lugia, Entei, Kyoogre, Latias, Plakia, Regigigas, Zekrom, Thundurus, and Yveltal.
Additionally, Giratina, Suicune, Rayquaza, Kyurem, and Landorus will only appear when the two other legendary Pokemon from their generation are present.
"Pokemon Ultra Sun" and "Ultra Moon" comes out on Nov. 17 for Nintendo 3DS.
