Line 3:
The seventh generation of ''[[Pokémon]]'' games. Set in the [[Hula and Luaus|Hawaii themed]] Alola region. Surprisingly, this time the plot is '''not''' to conquer 8 Gyms and become Champion while stopping a team of bad guys from endangering the world by exploiting the powers of a Legendary Pokemon along the way. Instead the player character seeks to complete a coming of age ceremony that requires them travel to each island in the chain and complete the trials located there. The games mark a major shift in some of the series conventions, such as including a Fairy Companion in the form of the Rotom Pokédex, more realistic graphics instead of the stylized caricatures which were used prior, the introduction of new variations on old Pokémon, and the addition of Z-Moves, which allow for any Pokémon to release a powerful attack based on a single type, but can only be performed once per battle.
 
On June 6th 2017, Game Freak and Nintendo revealed [[Updated Rerelease|''Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon'']] for the Nintendo 3DS, which is an alternate retelling of the story with different Pokémon available, including new Solgaleo and Lunala forms for [[BigBigger Bad|Necrozma]].
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Practically everyone! The racial demographics of the real Hawaii don't help any either.
* [[Adult Child]]: Professor Kukui. It's particularly clear in Japanese where his style of speech is typical of someone way younger and of less authority.
* [[Big Bad]]: Guzma, leader of Team Skull, who even refers to himself as "Big Bad Guzma" {{spoiler|turns out to NOT be the [[Big Bad]] of the story, in fact being subserviant to the ''true'' [[Big Bad]], President Lusamine of the Aether Foundation. This marks the first time a Pokémon game has had a female main antagonist and one who wasn't the boss of the local evil team.}} In ''Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon'' {{spoiler|Team Rocket's Giovanni, the franchise's original [[Big Bad]], returns as the [[Big Bad]] of the post-game RR Episode.}}
** [[Bigger Bad]]: Necrozma is the distant source of the main conflict in ''Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon'', {{spoiler|even taking the mantle of [[Big Bad]] away from Lusamine in the climax.}}
** [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: Faba, the Aether Foundation's egocentric and ambitious branch chief.
* [[Coming of Age Story]]: For both the [[Player Character]] and {{spoiler|Lillie.}}
* [[In Universe Game Clock]]: Unusually ''Moon'' has a clock offset 12 hours from ''Sun'' (and the real world).
