Nebby’s assistance against Lusamine could also serve as a connection to the player. With Nebby by her side, Lillie could travel to the classic Pokémon Kanto region without the player character but still not entirely by herself. Although it’s a sensible ending to a character arc centered around independence, it still feels like a large leap that could have been smoothed over if she still had Nebby to accompany her to Kanto. But this occurs at the very end of the games, and is a drastic departure from her previous actions that required she still rely on the player character to some extent. Lillie’s most notable act of independence in Sun and Moon comes from her decision that she will travel to Kanto by herself to try and research a way to wake Lusamine from her coma.
Nebby’s silly behavior resulting in Lillie demanding they return to her bag has become a well-known meme for Pokémon fans. In Sun and Moon, players receive the legendary Pokémon in a unique way: the Solgaleo or Lunala players capture is actually Nebby, the Cosmog who spends almost the entire game with Lillie until evolving into Cosmoem and later the box art legendary. Starting with Pokémon Gold and Silver, most Pokémon games that aren’t remakes feature a legendary Pokémon on their covers, and players get the chance to capture them at some point in the story. Both games are set in the Alola region and feature a similar cast of characters, including the player character’s friend Lillie and her Cosmog, whom she calls Nebby. Pokémon Sun and Moon was initially released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2016, and was followed up by Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon in 2017 on the same system. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, the legendary Pokémon players can capture, Nebby the Solgaleo or Lunala, should have stayed with Lillie.
