Nintendo has announced an all-new Pokéball-themed 2DS XL that will launch alongside this autumn's Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon.

Alongside the announcement of the new hardware, some slim details were revealed about Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, with two new Ultra Pokémon revealed. UB Burst will be exclusive to Pokémon Ultra Sun, while UB Assembly will be exclusive to Pokémon Ultra Moon. Both looked like they were knocked up after a boozy lunch by the design team.
