Similar to previous games in the series, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are role-playing video games with adventure elements. While set in an alternate version of the Alola region, the mechanics and graphics remain largely the same as Pokémon Sun and Moon, with the primary differences being its modified storyline now including the Ultra Recon Squad.[1] The player character designs are also different, though they remain customizable.[2] "Global Missions", where players across the world work towards a collective goal, also make a return.[3]
