Pokémon Ultra Sun often gets criticized for being a "third version" (similar to Emerald or Platinum), but the changes it makes to the original Sun/Moon formula are significant enough to justify the playthrough.

The Good:

The Bad:

Pokémon Ultra Sun represents the pinnacle of the seventh generation of Pokémon games. Released for the Nintendo 3DS, it took players back to the Alola region with an expanded narrative, new Pokémon forms, and quality-of-life improvements.

For emulation enthusiasts and preservationists, the term "Decrypted" is vital. It transforms the game from a console-locked file into a universal format playable on various devices. Here is everything you need to know about playing Pokémon Ultra Sun in high quality via a decrypted ROM.

To go beyond the ROM itself, download the "Pokémon Ultra Sun & Moon HD Texture Pack" (available via GBATemp or the Citra community). This replaces the game's internal UI, text, and world textures with AI-upscaled versions.
