'''''Pokémon Ultra Sun''''' is a 2017 role-playing developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. It is one half of a pair of games, the other being ''Pokémon Ultra Moon''; they are updated versions of ''[[Pokémon Sun]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Moon|Moon]]'', and together make up the second pair of main series games in the seventh generation of ''Pokémon''. The game was played by [[The D-Pad]] in 2017; unlike previous Pokémon playthroughs on the channel, it is not part of ''[[Pokémon Rivals]]'' or even a Nuzlocke, due to the channel having already spent a year playing the original ''Sun'' and ''Moon'' in this format. The playthrough commenced on November 20, 2017.

It is part of the seventh generation of the ''Pokémon'' franchise, and one half of a pair of games with ''Pokémon Ultra Moon''. The two games are updated versions of the [[2016]] games ''[[Pokémon Sun]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Moon]]'', the first entries in the seventh generation. They follow roughly the same plot as the originals with some changes, including the addition of a new postgame story centered on the villainous Team Rainbow Rocket. In addition, several new Pokémon forms and Ultra Beasts are included. The game was played on ''[[The D-Pad]]'' by [[Ben Mooney|Ben]] and [[Lindsay Gibbons|Lindsay]] upon its release. The LP currently consists of 16 episodes, released on weekdays from November 20, 2017 to June 27, 2021. It is on an indefinite hiatus, with the release of future episodes uncertain, though Ben, Lindsay, and [[Rick Desilets|Rick]] have all expressed interest in eventually completing the LP.

  |ShortSummary = Ben starts off the game by naming his character Trindle and watching the opening cutscenes. Once he has control of the game, he leaves his house and heads down Route 1, where he runs into a wild Yungoos and is defended by the three starter Pokémon. Professor Kukui appears and allows him to pick a starter; he chooses Popplio, and names it Bwump. He continues along Route 1, fighting a wild Yungoos, picking up an item, and eventually encountering Hau, who picks Litten as his starter and challenges him to a battle. He defeats Hau easily, watches some more cutscenes, and heads towards Iki Town.

There, he is given a Pokédex and a Trainer Passport. He is returned to his house, where Kukui appears and leads him outside to give him the Pokémon catching tutorial, much to the group's annoyance. After this, Ben receives some Poké Balls, and catches a Grubbin in the tall grass; he nicknames it Stuggy Mack.

  |ShortSummary = Ben runs across a wild Buneary and catches it, naming it Magoompers. He continues to explore Route 1, fighting a few low-level trainers along the way. He finds a Rockruff standing around, and plays with it for a while before moving on. He runs into a pair of mysterious characters, and the group theorize on the logic behind releasing ''Ultra Sun'' and ''Ultra Moon''. He also catches a wild Yungoos and names it Goo Father. Arriving back at Iki Town, he battles against Hau for a second time as part of the festival, again defeating him without much trouble. Afterwards, Hala gives him the Z-Power Ring, and some more cutscenes ensue, after which Ben ends up back at his character's house.

During this, Ben makes use of the post-battle Pokémon Refresh feature for the first time.

He then moves on to the Pokémon Center, and another lengthy explanation of game mechanics, before going to the Trainer's School.

Trivia

  • Pokémon Ultra Sun was the first main series Pokémon game to be covered in a non-Nuzlocke LP on the channel, due to Rick and John not wanting to repeat themselves by Padlocking Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon immediately after finishing the very similar Sun and Moon. The non-Nuzlocke format was later reused for Pokémon Sword, with Geoff replacing Lindsay as the second player.
  • No new episodes of Pokémon Ultra Sun have been recorded since early 2018. Episode 16, which was recorded shortly after episode 15, was held to be included with the next batch of episodes.
