Remember the Ultra Wormholes from Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. These are going to become a bigger part of the adventure in the upcoming Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, with The Pokemon Company revealing new details on Thursday morning.

Players will get a chance to visit new worlds, riding either Solgaleo or Lunala (depending on the version of the game) to warp through the Ultra Wormholes and challenge new Pokemon. There's also a tie to the story, as players will visit Ultra Magalopolis, where Necrozma has stolen the world's light.

There are also some new adversaries hiding behind the Ultra Wormholes, including a mysterious team known as the Ultra Recon Squad. Dulse and Zossie will take the lead in Ultra Sun, while players will confront Soliera and Phyco in Ultra Moon. Regardless of which team players face, they'll find themselves in a sticky situation when they face the new Ultra Beast, the Poison-type UB Adhesive.

Also, remember September's Nintendo Direct? There are new details on UB Burst and UB Assembly, the former of which will come to Pokemon Ultra Soon and the latter of which will come to Pokemon Ultra Moon. UB Burst is a Fire/Ghost-type, whose head is "made up of a collection of curious sparks." UB Assembly is a Rock/Steel-type and is referred as "a collection of many life-forms."

For more on the Ultra Wormholes, check out the video below. Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon will come to Nintendo 3DS on November 17.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
