Literally all that's distinguishing this from any other Pokemon is a fancy name. I don't see the logic in putting in so much time in designing the thing and others for what would ultimately be the equivalent of those PokeStar holograms.

Why do people think we can't catch Ultra Beasts? They have a cry, an animation, and are never said to be uncatchable.

>>28326591

>shit that makes it seem like it's fucking with reality and physics and shit

Like fucking every other pokemon?

Ultra Beasts are actually equipment. They attach to trainers after you befriend them. This is why it looks like Lillie.
They're adding another layer of team customization where the UB you wear gives different bonuses.

>>28324666
No, that's just my mom.
Sorry.

>>28324666
It's both. Using alchemy it is a fusion of human and pokemon.

>>28326463
But the pokestar holograms took them time and effort to program too, and they still made it in. The Ultra Beasts are just bad guys that don't look human, it's no different than designing any other NPC in the game.

>>28326604
I'm talking "impossible angles" "madness from beyond" "the yellow king" kind of fuckery, my man.

>>28324666
I don't think so, because it's not on the "Pokemon" page, but rather its own page for Ultra Beasts, which is a damn shame, because I like the design, although if it's tied to Lillie somehow (which is practically guaranteed) I'll be sorely disappointed.

That being said, what the fuck is the difference between an "Ultra Beast" and a pokemon? Why doesn't it have a "type"? Even the pokemon named "Type: Null" has a fucking type.
>B-But it's not from our planet/dimension/etc!
Neither are several other existing pokemon, so this isn't the reason why. Why not just make it a pokemon, instead of giving it the incredibly generic title of Ultra Beast (it doesn't even look very "beastly"), and give it a regular name instead of the incredibly generic title of "Ultra Beast 01"?
>It's just a boss monster, therefore it isn't a pokemon!
While this may be true, if you fight it, it has to have a type and moves of some sort. If they're implying that you never even fight any Ultra Beasts, that's just fucking stupid.

Yeah but you knew going in they were just shit holograms for a fun sidegame thing.

Ghost Marowak was just Marowak with one alt look for spooks but even then you can get a Cubone or Marowak normally.

> it's no different than designing any other NPC in the game.

It's fairly different, a human NPC just gets a team of all sorts of Mons you can catch and recreate on your own themed to their person. This "Ultra Beast" thing would not only need a typing but it would also need a moveset, levels, etc.

The PokeStar stuff from what I remember didn't really have moves of their own, it was just action prompts like the Ghost Marowak before it becomes just Marowak.

I can't even compare it to Orre Shadow Pokemon because they were still catchable, they just had a gimmicky typing to their encounter.

>>28326859
What do you mean, "different species"?
Every single pokemon is a different species. "Pokemon" is synonymous with "animal" in this universe (unless you're one of the loonies who believes real animals exist in pokemon and we simply haven't seen them). It doesn't matter that Ultra Beasts aren't technically "pokemon", they should still have a type. Just like how stuff at the Pokestar Studios had types.
>>28326882
Yeah, so it's technically not a pokemon, then? The point still stands that if it's involved in battle it should have a type and ability.

>>28327034

My idea has precedent in Zygarde. What evidence does anyone else have?

>>28326926
I really hope this means missingno and other glitch pokemon can transfer over as null.

It's an otherdimensional being, why would it be a Pokémon?

>>28326996
Why would god give a shit about holding itself back.

Also why would a mask, built specifically to restrain and control Null, be ancient tech, when Null is obviously a very modern creation.

>>28327074

>What is Giratina?

>>28326926
>ayayaya madre mía no es escaneado: codigo cero
As a spic this made me laugh.

>>28327091
Giratina is specifically mentioned as a Pokemon.

If it was a Pokemon why would they bother calling it an 'Ultra Beast'

>>28327091
Something that was banished to another dimension, not necessarily originating from that dimension.

>>28327091
Giratina was banished

>>28327083

Because God being in your dimension might royally fuck everything up with it's unleashed power, there's tons of reasons. Look at Machamp. It has a belt to hold itself back. You think a God wouldn't want to hold back it's retarded power when dealing with being that are less than ants?

Null is a modern creation, yes, but it wouldn't be the first time ancient tech was used in the series. Look at apricorns. In addition, perhaps modern tech couldn't replicate the ancient tech. Either way, look at what it's made of. It's not metal, it's stone. You know of modern tech that's made of stone?

>>28327132
But what makes an Ultra Beast an Ultra Beast?

Like what is the point of this classification if its going to look, act, and essentially be a Pokemon in everything but name only?

>>28327132

>moving the goalposts

I simply answered the question.

>>28327138
>>28327140

It was created by Arceus who itself was an interdimensional being. If you don't like Giratina as an example use Arceus.

In addition, no one knows exactly where these Ultra Beasts came from, only that they can use wormholes.

UB will just be legendary pokemon that have some special battle rules when you're catching them

>>28327156
For starters it has no cartoon eyes
>>28327165
Arceus never moved dimensions, he just opened a door to one and pushed Gira's shit in

>>28327060
I am currently catching a missing no on virtual console, I wonder what will happen, it's the aerodactyl skeleton one

>>28327175
Please God, let this be the case.

If UB-01 is any indication these designs would be too good to go to waste being weirdo "NO CATCH" encounters.

>>28327181

So he's interdimensional. He can travel between them at will. Point remains.

>>28327091
A mistake

>>28327203
Either way They are both pokemon and if Ultra Beasts are not referred to as pokes that just means they have a different origin

>>28327142
If it's god, it shouldn't need to restrain it's power, theres a difference between something like Machamp, which is a musclebound mortal Pokemon who cannot control it's power, Type: Null, a man-made machine of destruction that can't control it's power, and god, a being which has more than enough influence to have complete control over ti's own power.

Also I don't think it's stone, it doesn't have the usual texture of stone drawn in Pokemon. And again, the mask is specifically made to restrain Type: Null, it's got a hole for that wing thing coming out of it's head, and even a ring to restrain that appendage.

>>28324666
New tier of creatures. You will only be able to have one per team and you use a brand new capturing device since pokeballs aren't advanced enough to contain them.

>>28326733
This makes it pretty clear cut. They'd have said "to humans and *other* pokemon" if it was a pokemon.

If this was a franchise capable of going darker, I'd think that it was a human from another dimension where the Aether Foundation went too far with the experiments and created some kind of human/pokemon hybrid, and this particular one just happens to be Lillie from that dimension, but that would be *really* fucking heavy for a Pokemon game.

>>28327252

>If it's god, it shouldn't need to restrain it's power

Well, your claim on that is as good as mine. There's really no way for either of us to prove whether that point is true or not. You're going to have to agree to disagree with me.

>>28327156
>Look
No Pokemon has ever looked like UB-01
>Act
All weve seen it do is float around and intimidate with a screech when entering a battle
>Essentially be a Pokemon
Again, weve seen it do nothing except screech at the screen in a battle intro, you can't say it's 'essentially' a Pokemon when everything said about it points to it being NOT essentially a Pokemon.

>>28327252
>If it's god, it shouldn't need to restrain it's power
If it was not a merciful god then yes
but Arceus has mercy so it restrains itself so
it's power would not atomize everything it tried to talk to

>>28327279
All I'm saying is, if Arceus can just pop in, make a new legendary Pokemon from scratch, and hand it off to you like he made a fresh batch of cookies, I doubt it needs to restrain itself. It's like saying a human needs mittens, or strap on weights to restrain it's fearsome might while handling a bug.

>>28327252
>If it's god, it shouldn't need to restrain it's power
Show me evidence why god in the Pokemon universe shouldn't need to restrain its power.

It's LILLIE synchro fuse evolved with her pokemon in her bag. Ultra Beasts are human/pokemon combos

>>28327318
This logic literally makes no sense to me

>if it can do this amazing as all fucking shit power with ease and does/did so regularly what makes you think it can't just as easily not be so powerful

>>28327318

But it's possible it did that while restrained. And some bugs are extremely easy to kill when handling them. In addition, some animals can't be handled because you'll kill them. Coral will die from contact. Some things die from just being around certain other items.

>>28327318
What if ultra beasts are just another name for legendary pokemon? Maybe Arceus was extracted from the dna of something (like mew dna used in creating mewtwo for example) a long time ago and was created. Maybe all legendaries are created... Maybe all modern pokemons are created... For the war 3000 years ago. Just a thought

>>28327338
>>28327346
My point is, a normal person can handle most weak or fragile things because, unless you're an idiot, you know how to regulate your own muscle power so as to not crush glass in your hand, or hug a puppy to death accidentally. Arceus should be more than capable of raining in it's own godly power, it made the universe after all, it should be capable of going "Okay, I WON'T turn these mortals into pillars of salt just because they lay their eyes on my being, and just maybe I won't reduce all before me to ash with my radiance"

>>28327382

Arceus predates all of them. And Solgaleo and Lunaala were already announced as regular pokes. So, UBs being legends are out of the question.

>>28327382
Ultra Beasts are called "a threat to humans and Pokemon"

Why would they specifically say a 'pokemon' is a threat to other Pokemon, and even more so by using a completely new category for them.

Also
>Arceus was extracted from DNA and was created
There was nothing before Arceus, Arceus hatched from an egg and then shaped the universe.

>>28327413

You're beating a dead horse and moving further off-topic. Fact remains that Type:Null's head armor has a distinct Arceus motif, and it's used as a limiter. I've got plenty of reason to believe what I do. You're not proving otherwise.

If the movie is any indication, the red chains turn into Arceus-esque rings to restrain and control Dialga and Palkia. So perhaps Arceus' ring is something of a symbol of power, it's a piece of god itself, and thus holds domain over all things beneath it

It acts as a limiter for itself and limits and controls others with it's ring. Arceus needs a limiter because a nuke can't walk up to you and say hi without being in it's bombshell

That said the limiter could also be the only way to actually suppress such immense power that Arceus can't simply will it not to hurt others at 1000%

>>28327560
WOAH. What if the autist that just mentioned that Arceus was created with DNA of something else isn't completely wrong.

What if people extracted DNA FROM ARCEUS to create Ultra Beasts, or maybe or Pokemon as well. To sort of speed up evolution for purposes such as that war 3000 years ago

I wonder if they're going to be like "special pokemon", like the spiky-eared pichu. Catchable, usable, just not transferable from game to game.

>>28327190
What's wrong with that? There are hardly any notable battles with wild pokemon that end with them fainting unless by accident. Legendary pokemon are always caught rather anticlimactic because you are usually catching them.

Why not add a "No Catch" monster encounter that actually test your pokemon instead of just being an endurance match while you chuck balls at the boss?

I don't know if it's a Pokémon, all I know is I wanna train it.

Also I'm kinda hoping for an Ultra Beast spinoff. I used to wonder what Pokémon would be like in the hands of a different developer, and a game with non-pokemon or pokemon-like creatures is the perfect opportunity. Hand the reins over to Atlus or someone, and let them make some really crazy monsters for a jrpg set in the Ultra universe.

UB-01 and the other UBs were experiments. Type:Null is the final result of this research.

>>28331070
I hope it's not a Pokémon for the reasons you say.

I loved the idea of Pokéwood rivals being like bosses you need to defeat in a special way, but I didn't like that they were bound to a script.

I'd love something like Kyurem in Black/White 2, that is buffed and is not catchable, but that remains uncatchable.

That way, you can make a "Pokémon" that is broken so you need all your team to defeat it. It would lead to new strategies and diversity for the game.

And being uncatchable mans they don't need to "balance" it, because no one will be able to use it against other players.

So please, let UB be not catchable and act like a "de-facto" RPG boss.

That's an oxymoron in it of itself because Pokemon Battles are already endurance tests. Catching isn't even necessary at most times, its just an alternate way to deal with the counter than bets you the reward of putting up with the process. You know, kind of like how the game advertises itself to be.

If you want an uber strong boss to "test yourself" against, play SMT. Everyone knows going in to Pokemon that's the real challenge is playing against friends or as of late, people online.

Doubt it, they kinda made it clear when they've stated that "They were a danger for both Human and Pokemon"

>>28335414
So you're basically saying that Pokemon isn't allowed to make a change and should still have the same kind of progression in each and every game from beginning to end.

>>28335414
>That's an oxymoron in it of itself because Pokemon Battles are already endurance tests.
Not as they currently are especially to a veteran player. Anyone can one shot any kind of Pokemon throughout the story. UBs give us an opportunity to have enemies that are actually some kind of a challenge and force us to think out our play properly.

Being unable to capture a monster in a monster catching game and instead go "WHOOPS, HERE'S AN HP SPONGE BOSS BATTLE" isn't a beneficial change, especially in an entry already changing shit up for the better with the use of the Island Challenges instead of the same old Pokemon League.

No one plays these games legitimately for the CPU difficulty. If they would then people would have been holding the Wally rematch as the new standard as opposed to sick sucking Red because "bro he was waiting for you on Mt. Silver in Gen 2!!!!"

The fights can't be any different than the standard Pokemon battle since if they were, they'd have to fundamentally change how battles work in the first place. And based on gameplay footage we've seen, we know that's not the case.

>>28335269
It does look like those Japanese fishbowls.

>>28335596
>"WHOOPS, HERE'S AN HP SPONGE BOSS BATTLE"
So don't make it a HP sponge boss. Give it specific combo moves and the AI to utilize it and so on as well. They don't have to be exactly like the Eaters in Cyber Sleuth anon.

>>28335463
>>28335574
Considering Game Freak can't balance single-player battles worth for shit, UB battles would have to practically be a stylus-based minigame in order to be challenging. In many cases, half the challenge is not KOing the legendary or whatever you're trying to catch.

Trainer battles are and always have been the series' "opportunity to have enemies that are actually some kind of a challenge and force us to think out our play properly," because they have multiple enemies in sequence and their Pokemon can't be caught. They've been the series' bosses since the beginning for a reason, because they follow the series' (relatively) internally consistent rules.

>>28335657

>So don't make it a HP sponge boss. Give it specific combo moves and the AI to utilize it and so on as well.

But if that's all it takes, why do they need to make a specific subset of special uncatchable enemies in the first place? You can make something like this just fine with the standard NPC trainer AI.

I can't even say its because its meant for veterans because these things are going to be featured heavily in the plot. You know, the thing the actual stupid baby children play through before they abandon the game.

>>28335596
>The fights can't be any different than the standard Pokemon battle since if they were, they'd have to fundamentally change how battles work in the first place.

>give UBs higher than usual BSTs
>give them totem abilites like summoning other UBs
>UB specific moves
They don't have to change the battle format at all.

>>28335760
>why do they need to make a specific subset of special uncatchable enemies in the first place?
One, so they don't leak into online and dominate
Two, because they can't alter the stats of Pokemon without doing it to them as a whole. In other words if you make Groudon a boss mon of that caliber the catchable version would have to be at that level as well.

>>28335761
>give UBs higher than usual BSTs

Implying this can't and isn't already done for higher lever rematch battles

>give them totem abilites like summoning other UBs

Then what is the point of Totem Pokemon?

>UB specific moves

>What are Legendary Signature moves.

The only thing new here is TotemMon stuff and that's already being implemented elsewhere.

>>28332498

No. It is not.

>>28335863
>Implying this can't and isn't already done for higher lever rematch battles
It's not. Any Pokemon you battle in a rematch has the exact same BST as a Pokemon of that species that you own.

>Then what is the point of Totem Pokemon?
World building mostly seeing as Totem mon are essentially just the alpha of the Pack. In fact it's kind of implied that the only difference between them is that they get a +2 buff of some kind before the start of the battle and can summon pokemon.

>>UB specific moves
>What are Legendary Signature moves.
A step in the right direction. But what we need are moves that the player can't utilize that have specific effects behind it that can present problems.

You haven't played many RPGs have you.

If you don't catch it why would it need more than four moves, an ability and stats?
It's moronic to say that something should be a Pokémon because there was any effort whatsoever put into its design; when does this stop? Is everything a Pokémon now?

We don't though. It just has a little lore description and Word of God which honestly is not enough. If this isn't a Pokemon then Magearna shouldn't be as well.

>>28336841

By what logic?
Magearna is still classed as a Pokemon. Ultra Beasts are not.

But can it pass the Harkness test?

Totem pokemon

>>28336979
What about them?
You can't catch Totem mon.

>>28336906
Based on what we know about both? Ultra Beasts are implied to be synthetic, Magearna is literally a robot. Ultra Beasts are rumored and feared, Magearna is a legendary that's also rumored and possibly feared.

What is the distinction between these two that makes one an UB and another a Pokemon other than a name?

>"Well the core of Magearn-"

So literal intangible bullshit that could be introduced later on if necessary?

it's okay, they'll bait a 3rd game or DLC and then just ignore it for OMG SINNOH CONFIRMED!!!....with no battle frontier

There's some heavy hints, man.

>>28337146
>Ultra Beasts are implied to be synthetic
Source? Because neither the trailers nor site imply as such.

The only thing they do imply is that they aren't Pokemon. Specifically in the categorization and they fact that they're simply called creatures and not Pokemon.

>>28337303
>>made of glass like substance specifically
>>emphasis on lacking emotion and feeling with a bare amount of survival instinct
None of that implies it's synthetic.
In fact, because they break through some kind of wormhole and that Aether are conducting research on them suggests that they are a natural species from another world.

>>28336246
It was a real good fap to me. Did you feel guilty afterwards?

>>28324666
It's an ultra beast.
Basically just a boss you can't catch. About time they added something like this imo

>>28325211
>>28325202

>>28337514
>you can't catch.
How do you know? You haven't even played the game yet.

This is nothing but baseless speculation.

>>28337575
Because it's not a Pokemon.

You'll be able to catch them (with types/names you 'discover'), but only in the post game. Of course they're Pokemon.

>>28336203
>>28336246
What's the source or author please?

>>28337658
That doesn't mean you can't catch it.

>>28338041
The fact it's not a Pokemon means you can't catch it.

Think the DNA splicer from B/W 2 will play a non-kyurem role at all?

>>28337840
>Of course they're Pokemon.
Except for the fact that they've already been stated to not be.

>>28338175
No.

>>28338202
Can I pretend?

>>28338062
The fact that it's not a Pokemon means you can't catch it with a Pokeball.

>>28338216
Why not?

>>28338176
Yeah? Where was it stated "they're not Pokemon"? Because it was never stated, retard.

>mysterious creatures
We don't know what they are but they certainly aren't pokemon.

>>28326926
What? ''Código: Cero'' is literally ''Codename: Zero''. That's it, a codename, not an error.

>>28338220
We don't know that. This is an entirely unique situation.

>>28338402
Right, so saying that they absolutely "can't be caught" is just as false, especially because it was never stated they can't.

What if Ultra Beasts are like EX Pokemon in the TCG.
You can only have 1 in your party, but the opponent might also get a bonus for knocking it out in battle.

The pokedex might even go like this:

Pokemon 851
Pokemon 851
Pokemon 853 (end of Alola dex)
Ultra Beast 1 (Start of UB dex)
Ultra Beast 2

And have them listed as a seperate, but still catchable species like pokemon

I doubt it, from the sound of things Ultra beasts are going be extremely powerful and they don't even have the ability to feel let alone listen to people.
Everything suggests they won't be catchable.

They cannot be capture by any kind of Pokéball.

From Pokéball to Masterball.

Pokéballs are meant to capture Pokémon only.

I have said this before but since SM reminds me of Orre games I really do think these "Ultimate Beasts" are going to be "purified" through battle and then become Pokemon after their hearts are opened.

I can see where you might think that. I wish I could say I immediately disagree with you, but at the same time it would be ultra fucked up if in the creation of a bunch of artificial Pokemon Aether decided to create creatures that were immune to capture as bio-weapons. It would make sense. One of Mewtwo's, and for that matter any Pokemon's, biggest weakness is that they can be captured and controlled.

I wouldn't want that in my ultra bio-weapons if I were a scientist unlocking the ultimate potential in something.

>>28324666
It's a Pokémon except how it is perceived in a different dimension. So it's not really a Pokémon, just what they call it, an Ultra Beast.

You can describe Pokémon as ultra beasts, just like how you can describe illegal immigrants as ayy lmaos.
