Random: Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon has a New 'Photo Club' Mode, and Kanto Could Return

Kanto! I remember when I played Gold/silver, how awesome it was to go to another area. Plus, Lt. Surge kicked butt.

I wish they would make it so you could visit all the areas some day. I wonder if the Switch could do it without sacrificing graphics.

I'd love to go to Kanto! I always wished we weren't getting these remakes of older titles but rather sequels to these games to see how much and what has changed since the first games.

If Kanto returns I'll buy four copies of this game. I hope it does too.

Also: Think about it, they've basically given us nothing in terms of details since ultra s/m were announced. Makes sense that there would be something huge to make jaws everywhere drop.

Sigh. As much as I like Kanto, I wish they'd give the other regions some love too. In X and Y, the player is given Kanto starters with Mega evolutions, and Santalune Forest was a callback to Viridian Forest. Then in Sun and Moon they only gave Alolan forms to Kanto Pokemon.

Just as long as Ultra Sun and Moon have Alolan forms for a variety of past generations, then I'll be happy.

It'll be hilarious if we revisit Kanto yet again.

Kanto being in the game would honestly probably redeem Ultra Sun and Moon for most people, I know i would definetly be hyped if it were confirmed

Ryuki: "The name's Ryuki. I'm what you might call a star"

Trainer: "Nope! There's only trash here."

Savage.

If they build kanto for 3DS I hope they would use it for the next Pokémon remake for yellow/red/blue .. it would be amazing !

If Ultra Sun/Moon allowed you to return to return to the Kanto region after beating the Alola region similar to Gold/Silver, that would singlehandedly sell me the game. I've not been very excited for these "new" entries and have been telling myself I probably won't pick them up, although I enjoyed Sun/Moon a lot.

Details on Ultra Sun/Moon have been light as far I can tell, if the Kanto region coming back were to happen, that would be the big hype push for this game, a real differential from the previous entry. I can see it happening.

The Pokémon company will really need to add a ton of content for me to go back into Sun & Moon. I found that the first Pokémon Sun & Moon games to be very boring, so it's going to take a lot for me to consider playing these games again.

Those are definitely trash bins on the floor, but there's no barrier of electricity or machine to the left of it. I don't think it's safe to call this Vermillion Gym quite yet.

@NintenNinja16 It doesn't have anything to do with the article, but I have to say that I love your avatar!

Maybe this time, they are trying to hide that you can go to Kanto, only giving clues, as opposed to Sun and Moon where they told everything before the game was out?
This could explain the lack of information we got for so long.

Also, if there was a time for the remix of LeafGreen/RedFire, it would be now, as this is the "next game to have a remix" in the serie. But as this was already a remix, we can't know for sure what they'll do.

So this could make a lot of sense to have the return of Kanto in this game.

Now, I believe it will not be the case. Thanks to that, I will not be disappointed if it doesn't happen, and I'll be really happy if it does.

It's already been in the first four generations, so I personally wouldn't mind if it's not in the new games. If it is it would be pretty cool, although don't think it's gonna be in them. That guy in the trailer is a Dragon-type trainer in the first Sun and Moon games, not an Electric-type guy. But let's say Kanto is in these games. I'd say it would provide an elegant way of allowing you to obtain the classic forms of the Pokémon that got Alolan forms in Sun/Moon.

Either someone was lazy and is coping gym ideas for USUM, or Kanto returns...

Kanto again? Sigh it's what the fan base wants, i suppose.

The inclusion of Kanto would make my interest in this go from 0 to 100 really quick.

Kanto? Oh man, I remember that feeling when, after beating the Elite Four in Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal, we were given access to the second region, Kanto. Good old days, I played without any knowledge of English

Photo Club mode looks fun and all, but I doubt it'll be something I use much.

I'm more curious about the story mode in this one, honestly.

Just another reason not to buy it. Kanto is my least favorite region and Ryuki's hair is painful to look at. Why not imitate Gold/Silver more by going to Kalos, the immediate predecessor? Anywhere but Kanto. They've played that card out.

I dunno, they typically save the post game stuff reveals for much closer to release then this. I'm thinking it could be a throw back, like say the leader is related to Surge, this sort of thing has happened many times before, hence he copies the Gym puzzle.

But then at the same time, remember where Lillie left to go with her mom at the end? She was super popular in the fandom, so going to Kanto to see her again and how her mom's getting on would be kind of neat. And with GS about to get rereleased, revisiting an older region might be a feature they decide to bring back for old time's sake.

Are we getting sick of Kanto? Maybe, but gen oner's moan enough about their good ol' gen and with the tech available, perhaps now Kanto won't be as limited as GS. Maybe we can explore some of those collapsed caves, maybe we can be allowed to go up Pokemon Tower once again, hell maybe we can cut back into Johto since those regions are connected. Red and Blue also showed up last time, maybe we can go back to Mount Silver and climb to the top to find Red's ol' training ground.

I wasnt too fond of B2W2 since BW's plot really did not need continuing and was really just the exact region, hence why I'm not as excited for USUM as I was SM, but if they can add that sort of "new" stuff to it, I'll be slightly more looking forward to these games....

What if you could go back to Kanto, and also Johto? Because those two are connected, after all. Would that make everyone upset with it being Kanto happy?

@InternetBowser

I completely agree, you summed up every problem I had with Pokémon Sun & Moon.

I'll gladly eat my words if I'm wrong, but... LOL there is no way the Kanto region is in the game. What we see is definitely some kind of throwback arena, best indicated by random NPC blackbelt guy taking up the spot where Lt. Surge would be overlooking his gym.

References to previous games are nothing new for the series, especially Kanto references.

Pretty sure this is just a building in Alola that's modeled after the Vermilion gym.

If the game returns to Kanto, it would definitely be worth my money. Otherwise, I think I will pass on this one and hold out for the Switch iteration coming likely in the next year or two.

@-Green- indeed, it would be the 7th time (1st is red, blue and green, 2nd is yellow, 3rd is gold and silver, 4th is crystal, 5th is leafgreen and firered, 6th heartgold and soulsilver, 7th would be ultra sun and ultra moon.)

First image: "The name's Ryuki. I'm what you might call a star."

Second image: "Nope! There's only trash here."

Well then.

Sorry but I'm fed up with Kanto after we got to see it 4 times already in 4 generations in a row.

I want to believe this. I do.

You don't even know how much I do.

But I can't.

I'd be quite happy if there's half as many cut-scenes in this one.

@Fandabidozi Yeah, get all of that nasty dialogue out of my RPG.

@TheShiningAbsol
Totally. 😁

I'm ready for an open world Pokémon. Bring on Pokémon Switch. I'm hoping for a real overhaul of the formula.

I was kind of hoping they were doing kanto remakes instead so now idk what to think...

If they finally decided to revisit the idea of exploring past regions after the latest region, that would be so awesome, albeit a bit disappointing that the second time they ever do it (not counting Heart Gold and Soul Silver as a separate entry as the original Gold and Silver) that its the same exact region you could revisit as the first time they gave us this feature.

But I do think it would make some sense as it would give us a reason to no see Red and Blue remade again as logically they should be remade before Diamond and Pearl at this point, as even their remakes are the most outdated titles in the series. Fire Red and Leaf Green are 3rd gen games, that lack features that even Diamond and Pearl had. But who wants a remade game to be remade again? If this truly lets us go to Kanto after Alola, it would be a good way of getting gen 1 up to par with gen 7.

@InternetBowser I'm surprised anyone could find fault with the Poke Ride feature. That's probably one of the features I absolutely welcomed as I absolutely was over HMs. Or was is not having a Charizard the issue? Couldn't you just trade one from another game or trade for a Charmander?

And I was under the impression Ultra Beast were Pokémon. At least the National Pokedex describes them as such

Edit: I would much rather have another region explored over Kanto. We've done that to death.

Kanto already appears in the original four games (doing four games before black and white), the sequel, the remake and the remake of the sequel.

It's certainly iconic but if they're doing bonus regions I hope it's not the only one we get. Even Johto

I'd rather revisit Jotho or Sinnoh

This may be a stretch but I admit it could be possible.
And to point out; Vermillion City is where boats dock!

If Kanto returns then I'm more likely to get this game. Currently my last 3DS game will be Metroid Samus Returns but I'm willing to change my plans if there's a good reason to.

@LArachelDisciple I would love to revisit Kalos again, especially after no 3rd version of XY.

The Pokemon Company seems to be putting too much effort into reliving it's past. The Kanto region and its pokemon have been reused many times throughout the series. At this point, I'd prefer to see something new. If remaking a region, Sinnoh would be welcome.

I already got Mew but i would like a chance to visit Faraway Island... I don't see any reason to revisit Kanto if not to catch legendary pokemon.

@InternetBowser I actually think the Poke Ride feature makes a ton of sense as it is. There's always been the notion of service Pokémon and this to me is just a natural extension of that. You can certainly argue that it could involve a Pokémon you already have. Personally, it makes no difference as finally a move spot or party spot isn't hampered with an HM.

As for Ultra Beast, they are Pokémon. And I'm almost certain the ambivalence amongst the in game characters is purposely done for story reasons. I think it's quite clever in that the player is let in on the info, but the in game world is still in the dark. It's the idea of creatures truly and completely unknown to the Pokémon world. I think in future games, the inquiry into Ultra Beast and where they fit in the world of Pokémon may be a story point. I would also love to see something like that explored as a mechanism in a future game. Regular Pokémon completely undiscovered and unknown until you find it
