History Heartwarming / PokemonUltraSunAndUltraMoon

* When you reach the Pokémon League, when Kukui goes into the building, if your starter is in your party, its Poké Ball will begin to shake. Your starter will then come out and look at you before nodding, and you and your starter look at the Pokémon League building together. It really shows how far you have come, especially if you had it in your party the entire way through.

* In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, you get your starters right at the first ten minutes of starting the game with all three starters running to your rescue when you are about to enter the tall grass and is about to be attacked by a Yungoos. It's awesome, cute, and sweet that these starters run to your rescue even when they had just met you for the first time.

* It's bittersweet, but unlike the original games, Lusamine is able to reunite with Mohn. But seeing that he's happy working (and amnesiac) at the Poke Pelago, [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Lusamine decided to let him do what he loves to do rather than force him to come back]]. That said the scene has the hopeful note that Mohn intends to see Lusamine again.

* In one sidequest at the Trainer School at night, a Preschooler and her Drifloon ask you to solve the seven mysteries of the school, though once you solve six out of seven, the Preschooler confesses that she doesn't actually know what the seventh mystery is. But she thanks you and gives you a reward anyway, explaining that the reason she wanted you to solve the seven mysteries wasn't because ''she'' was scared, but because ''her classmates'' were, and the Preschooler wanted them to be happy and not scared because she really loves the school, since they were kind to her when she came from far away and had language difficulties. Then when the security guard finds you, he claims you were alone, and then you learn the truth--the Preschooler herself was the seventh mystery, a ghost who loved her school so much she came back to ask you to solve the seven mysteries.

* In another sidequest beginning in Heahea City, you're given a mysterious item called the Left Poke Ball, and you need to deliver it to a Preschooler to the left of Malie City's library. When you finally deliver it, it turns out the Left Poke Ball contains a Dartrix that used to belong to the Preschooler's grandfather; the Dartrix had refused to leave its Poke Ball due to its bond with the girl's grandfather. So the little girl decides to become Dartrix's trainer, and the heartwarming moment comes after that--you have the option of either asking her if she wants to use Dartrix on an island challenge, or if she wants to use it to battle. Either way, she responds that she doesn't know, she just ''really'' wants to be together with Dartrix, and that's enough for her.
* Cyrus, misanthrope supreme, a man who cast away all emotions because he thought he could make a better world by shunning them, who stubbornly stuck to his guns even when proven wrong by Cynthia, ''finally'' starts to show signs of relenting after he's beaten by the trainer. The source of his softening? Your Rotom Dex, which reminds him of the first Pokemon he befriended.

* When you grow to have a close friendship with the Rotom Dex, Rotom Dex will give you advice that are often than not, can be annoying. But one advice has Rotom Dex remind the player to visit their mom once in a while even if Pokemon Centers are much more handy at times. It's sweet.

-->This comes as a shock to Gladion, because he thought that his mother detested him. He ran away, with a pokémon that was supposed to stay secret, joined the gang that sometimes hindered the Aether Foundation’s conservation efforts. He blatantly disobeyed and worked against his mother time and time again…. and yet… there she was. Waving and smiling.

* A heartwarming moment that's easy to miss due to the context of the situation. When Ghetsis threatens to kill Lillie if the player doesn't release their Pokémon, their Pokéballs begin shaking, presumably with rage, according to Ghetsis. While the idea of what they could do may be scary, it's heartwarming to think the player's pokemon care that much about the player's friends.

* In the Malie City Community Center, you can buy a unique hat called the Hero Cap. It’s the same cap [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Ash Ketchum]] wears in the ''Sun & Moon'' anime. It’s nice to show love to a trainer who has done so much, even if he exists in a world outside of the games.
