Comment of the game producer
We would like to express our gratitude to you for this Excellence Award.
This game was created as a culmination of the Pokémon series on 3DS. I think that you can feel the evolution of the Pokémon series that has lasted for more than 20 years.
We created a new story centered on Ultra Beasts and Necrozma who appeared in the previous game Pokémon Sun Moon. Of course, both people who have played the previous games and people who have never played a Pokémon game before can be assured that they can enjoy the game. We especially hope that people who have never played a Pokémon game before will give the game a try.
Pokémon will continue to evolve, and we will continue to make games that will give dreams and courage to many people, so we would like to ask for your continued support in the future. Thank you very much!

I am full of surprise and gratitude to receive this Excellence Award.
Pokémon Ultra Sun Ultra Moon delves into the world view of Ultra Wormholes depicted in Pokémon Sun Moon, and offers the challenges of encounters and fights with powerful Pokémon. However, on the other hand, we were also conscious of users playing Pokémon for the first time, and made sure that the story and gameplay were easy-to-understand and that there was diverse gameplay.
I think that we are only able to receive an award like this because of the support of our diverse fans. Based on your support, we will continue to work on creating new games in the future, so we ask for your ongoing encouragement.
Thank you very much!
