Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon remixed Alola into the maximalist version of generation seven, for better and for much more cutscene volume.
Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon launched in 2017 on Nintendo 3DS. It remixed Alola into the maximalist version of generation seven, for better and for much more cutscene volume. It sits on the canon-defining RPG backbone that decides regions, monsters, battle systems, and the assumptions every other Pokemon project eventually reacts to.
Example
Its 2017 release on Nintendo 3DS immediately became part of the benchmark fans used to judge its whole generation.
Why it matters
Mainline Pokemon releases are the load-bearing beams of the franchise. If you want to understand why the rest of Pokemon looks the way it does, these are the games that set the rules.
