Massive Pokémon fan? Have all the games out so far? If you do then you might want to get your gamer claws into the new Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon which came out this past November.

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon is a remake of the previous installment to the Pokémon franchise's main series game Pokémon Sun and Moon. The adventure of Sun and Moon took place on the tropical islands of the Alola Region, but this time around, there is a storm brewing over the sunny islands.

For those who have already purchased Pokémon Sun and Moon you just may want to buy Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon too as the game promises more features, locations, buildings, moves and evolutions that were not in the previous games.

New features you can look forward to:

1) New Z-Moves await the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and Lunala — Searing Sunraze Smash and Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom

As long as Solgaleo knows Sunsteel Strike and holds the exclusive Z-Crystal Solganium Z, Solgaleo will be able to damage any target it attacks with Searing Sunraze Smash while ignoring any effects of the target's Ability. Lunala will be able to devastate the opponent's Pokémon the same way as Solgaleo with Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom as long as it holds the Z-Crystal Lunalium and knows Moongeist Beam.

2) The tale of Necrozma revealed

Discover the mysteries surrounding Necrozma and find out its connection to the secrets of the Alola region. Become a part of the plot surrounding Necrozma and the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and Lunala not disclosed in the previous games. You won't want to miss the revelations that will be revealed in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

3) Necrozma will be gaining some new forms

In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Necrozma will have the ability to take over Solgaleo or Lunala, transforming into Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma. It will have access to not only the two Legendary Pokémon moves, but will also be able to use their exclusive Z-Moves as well.

4) New worlds to explore

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon will feature the ability to ride the backs of Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and Lunala through Ultra Wormholes, holes ripping through space that reach beyond the Pokémon world into other different worlds never explored. Explore the vast lands, finding even the home worlds of the mysterious Ultra Beasts.

5) Ultra Megalopolis

Beyond one of the Ultra Wormholes lies Ultra Megalopolis — a world whose light has been stolen by Necrozma. A mysterious tower stands alone shining with a brilliance that is devoid from the rest of the environment. What awaits at the top? You will have to find out by playing.

6) The Ultra Recon Squad

This squad of four, Dulse and Zossie in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Phyco and Soliera in Pokémon Ultra Moon, are a mysterious group who has traveled from a world beyond the Ultra Wormhole. There reasons for being in the Alola region are unknown and it is your job to find out just what the Ultra Recon Squad is up to.

7) Alola Photo Club

Choose your favorite Pokémon and take photos with them in different poses at the Alola Photo Club buildings around the region. You will be able to edit the photos with different backgrounds and effects for a perfect picture. Just don't forget to show them off to your friends after you're all done. As an added bonus, your Pokémon will become more affectionate towards you as you take more and more pictures, making them willing to try better in battles.

8) Rotom Dex upgrade

The little sparky companion on your journey through the Alola region will be getting its own upgrades in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Grow your bond with your Rotom to unlock its powerful special power, Rotom Z-Power. This ability lets you use a second Z-Move in battle, allowing you to push past the one Z-Move per battle limit. With the growth of your bond, you will also be able to unlock the Roto Loto, a new feature that will allow you to obtain special items from the Rotom Dex with a variety of effects like bonus Exp.

With even more features added such as changes to the Island Challenges, new Z-moves and different looks for your character, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon has a lot in store for Pokémon fans.
