26 Thoughts We Had While Playing "Pokémon Ultra Sun" And "Pokémon Ultra Moon"

Alooooooooola! Take the exciting journey yourself by picking up Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon for Nintendo 3DS in stores or Nintendo eShop today!

We recently got a chance to start playing through the newest installments of Pokémon, called Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon. Here are some of our early thoughts:

1. So, judging by the cover art, the Legendary Pokémon rock black armor now.

2. Lunala and Solgaleo are basically goth. Here for it!

3. Okay, they are called Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma. That's wayyyy better than what we came up with.

4. Also, Necrozma apparently plays a big part in the new Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon story.

5. Shout-out to the Nintendo Switch just chilling in my character's bedroom. We see you.

6. Starter Pokémon looking like they're the cast of the cutest circus you've ever seen:

7. This is BuzzFeed. Obviously we're picking the fire cat, Litten, and calling him "It's Litten."

8. First run-in with the Ultra Recon Squad. Their theme music sounds like an EDM nursery rhyme, so I'm guessing they are robots.

9. Getting some bad vibes from these bots. At least try to wear a disguise or something if you're gonna be walking around a new dimension!

10. If we're 11 and officially starting our Trainer's journey, how did Youngster Kevin get a Pokémon? Legit concerned for his safety; he's at most 5.

11. Pokédexes...are...alive...now? Just got a Rotom Dex, which is Pokédex with a Pokémon living in it. That's like a next-level virtual assistant.

12. Yeah, we'd be covering our face too if we were on Team Skull:

13. Someone in Team Skull has definitely dabbed on the dance floor at least once in their life.

14. We're about three hours in, and we already have five times the amount of money in the game than we've ever had in our actual bank account.

15. So glad Nintendo put in these Totem Stickers for us to find. Our inner obsessive collectors thank you.

16. Oh hell no, Team Skull, you're not stealing our stickers. We'll jam you up.

17. The Ultra Recon Squad members' names are Zossie and Dulse, further proving that they are an alternate dimension EDM duo.

18. How does the Pokémon Ride Pager work? Is it like a ride-share app? Do they even have apps in the Pokémon world?!

19. Do people have different outfits in their backpack, or do the Pokémon bring them? Just want to know if these outfits are being washed...

20. Our character looks like they're in a spin class.

21. Welp, you can surf on a Mantine, and TBH, we're here for it.

22. LOL look at how happy that little Mantine is.

23. It's actually really fun! You do fly up super high though, so hopefully you aren't afraid of heights.

24. Professor Kukui living his best life as a superstar wrestler in the Battle Royal Dome.

25. Um, what? There's an actual Gym in Malie City?! We got a Surge Badge, but this Gym Leader sure doesn't look like Lt. Surge.

26. No. 1 reason to try out the new Battle Agency – other than being able to use Legendary Pokémon? You get these ultra-legendary shades:
