New Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Footage To Be Revealed Thursday

Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon is just over a month away, and the Pokemon Company is preparing to release new information about their latest games.

Shigeru Ohmori, a game designer for Game Freak and the director for Pokemon Sun and Moon, told Japanese fans they should watch the variety show Oha Suta on Thursday to see a global premiere of new footage of the games. While he didn't explicitly say that new info about the games would be revealed, The Pokemon Company has often used Oha Suta to reveal new information and surprises.

In fact, one of the first tidbits of new news about Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon first appeared on Oha Suta last summer. Lycanroc's Dusk Form was first revealed on Oha Suta, just days before Ash's Rockruff evolved into the unique combination of Lycanroc's other two forms.

If we had to take a guess, we'd bet that Oha Suta will premiere a couple of new Z-Moves or maybe even a new Alolan Pokemon or two. Although a truly "new" Pokemon reveal is unlikely, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon will have two brand new Pokemon (the first time that new Pokemon have been introduced mid-generation) so everything's on the table.

So how can Pokemon fans watch Oha Suta? Unfortunately, the show doesn't air outside of Japan, although there's usually a pirated livestream or two on YouTube that players can find if they're lucky. However, since Thursday morning in Japan is Wednesday afternoon over here in the United States, players won't have to wait too long to find out.

The news should roll out around 5 PM ET in the United States, so stay tuned to WWG to see what the surprise is!
