Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon

Two new Pokemon games will be releasing this year, however it may not be what fans were hoping for. Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon feature an “alternate story” to the original Pokemon Sun and Moon games. There will also be new features and Pokemon in the game. Nintendo didn’t reveal any specific details about the game, but hopefully there will be more news from the Nintendo E3 conference.
