>>28453396
I don't think anyone was. Games went from traditonal islands with a core journey tied to its culture being messed up by a bunch of Anarchists to Ancient Island Protectors and the Kahuna VS Evangelical Science Foundation and Interdensional Beasts.

WE MEGATEN NOW

POKEMON VS SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI CONFIRMED FOR NEXT SPIN OFF

THIS PARTY JUST GOT CUHRAIZIER

>>28453235
Tapu Koko just got a whole lot more cooler to me now.

>>28453279
Alien invaders are targeting the Guardian Deities to destroy the natural order of Alola. So you the protagonist needs to collect and create Perfect Zygarde to stop the Ultra Beast invasion and restore order.

>>28455135
I would kill someone for a legitimate Pokemon x SMT crossover, but it'll never happen because they wouldn't allow it to be aimed at adults and it would end up being some clustferfuck like #FE was.

>>28455135
Hopefully it won't be nothing like #FE, that was one of the biggest shocks and disappointment on the Wii U.

Ultra Beasts aren't Pokemon

just fucking end me

>>28457169
Except it will not happen because Ash will be too busy doing homework.
Seriously, getting rid of a worn-out, repetitive scheme is one thing, but this isn't gonna fix Ashnime.

We can still hope for special episodes though.

>>28457254
LOL. Also, this is how you know all "leaks" are bullshit, because not one of them mentioned Aether Foundation or Ultra Beasts or even Type:Null. This is the first thing I'd mention.

>inb4
>The leaks are true though because they said no gyms!
That rumour goes around every single hype season. They also said we'd have to build a league and made no mention of trial captains.

>>28457301
Pokemon = Pocket Monsters
If they fit in a pokeball, they qualify as pocket monsters. There's no proof that UBs don't.

>>28457392
Except that they are referred as not Pokémon in the official site

>Non-pokemon boss battles
These might be cool

>>28457392
Well, the creators have stated that these are not Pokemon. You should let them know they've made a mistake.

>>28454007
Yeah, I'm not sure what the fuck is going on anymore. I'm glad they're changing the formula up but I'll have to play it myself to see if they pull it off coherently. Right now it just seems like a bit of a clusterfuck and too many plot elements shoved into one story. Sometimes less is more, but like I said, I'll play it then judge.

>>28457446
False.

>>28457392
Well sure, except they are not Pocket Monster, they are Ultra Beasts. So they won't be catchable, since only Pokemon are catchable in Pokemon.

>>28457561

Ultra Beasts are literally not listed anywhere under the Pokemon tab. Therefore they aren't Pokemon. It's common sense.

>>28457301
This.
They're like the cinema monsters in BW.

>>28457475
>septentriones
Mizar was annoying as fuck, even Benetnasch was easier.

>>28457590
This creates an odd rift in the lore, then. Pokemon retconned animals pretty much for the reason that pokemon are everything thats alive and not human.

This ultra beast thing is a bit off if they're not pokemon. like something out of a fan fiction story. I guess we'll see how they integrate them.

>>28453279
Just because you can battle them doesn't mean they're pokemon. In fact we've known you can battle them since they were revealed.

>>28457724
They come from another dimension, it doesn't do anything to the lore.

>>28457584
I'm dead set on getting Type:Null and wreck them UB for good

>>28456978
Eh, #FE was still fun though and one of the better RPGs to come to consoles this gen.
Anyway it could be the game that's geared towards the older crowd that people have wanted. As seeing as pokken is a thing out doesn't have to be named pokemon directly.

>>28457783
Yes it does. It proves that there are living monsters in the pokemon universe that aren't pokemon. If you can battle them, then they likely have standard pokemon types and attacks, but theyre not pokemon? its all very jarring. are they simply not listed on the pokemon list, or have they stipulated that theyre not pokemon specifically?

>>28457475
First thing I thought of when they were announced as well.

>>28457724
The ultra beasts aren't native to the pokemon universe. They do not affect the current lore in the slightest.

>>28457724
Alternate dimension shit, yo.

If Pokemon exist throughout the known universe, then create an element from outside the universe.

Its an alien invasion story, and if written with any decency can add a bit of intrigue to the lore

>>28457872
>It proves that there are living monsters in the pokemon universe that aren't pokemon.
Except they are from OUTSIDE the pokemon universe.

>>28457872
are you fucking retarded holy fuck

>>28457872
They are literally from ANOTHER universe. They are even called Ultra Beasts, not Pokemon. They are not Pokemon, they are not from the same universe that Arceus created, they are invaders.

>>28457769
They could be like those opponents from poke studios in bw2. If anything, that pic adds credibility to the theory.

>>28457872
They don't exist in the Pokemon universe, they are invaders from the UB universe.

Plus, we have no clue if they'll actually use Pokemon moves and types, its entirely possible they don't.

>>28457547
Not false at all. How dumb are you?

>>28453279
In pokeman, humanity only weapon is pokemans, with what else humans can fight?

>>28457872
The official Pokemon website does not list Ultra Beasts as Pokemon. Therefore they are not Pokemon. The official website even refers to them as creatures that poses a threat to both humans and Pokemon. Are you stupid?

That's like saying how Mushrooms look and grow like plants but mushrooms are in fact not plants.

>>28458066

Multiple dimensions are generally considered to be part of the same universe.

>>28457872
Do you really need GF to outright say "Ultra Beasts are not Pokemon" because you lack the mental capacity to infer that if something is not on a specific list, then it is not that specific thing?

>>28453235
I like this screenshot, the difference in design style between the two is so jarring it's good in its own way.

>Tapu Koko vs EXPANSION

I can't wait how the other Tapus and Legendaries come into play.

>NANOMACHINES, KOKO

>>28457327
Please. I agree I'd LOVE this as a Pokemon but they'd never get away with it as an average Pokemon. We're lucky we're getting it in any capacity.

>>28457384
You wouldn't mention it because then GF would know you're the legit leaker, dumbass. It's like none of you people have actually leaked something before with the intent of keeping your job afterward.

>>28458240
If you can battle them, they have stats and attacks.

If they have stats and attacks, than you can catch them and use them in battle. Even if you have to inject them.

Not necessarily. The Marowak ghost and pokestar studio monsters all fall under you descriptions yet they aren't able to be captured.

By that logic, would you consider the actors and props in Pokestar Studios to also be Pokemon?

Yes, Ultra Beasts have similarities to Pokemon. But they are officially NOT Pokemon.
Just because a Tiger poops and a Human poops, it doesn't make the Tiger a human.

>>28459238
How does having the ability to battle or have stats define something as Pokemon? A Warrior and a Mage in an RPG both battle and have stats but that doesn't mean that the Warrior is a Mage. They're two separate classes.

What is 100% zygarde is our dimension's version of an ultrabeast?

That would explain why he looks so stupid.

The spoiler isn't that they're different to pokemon. It's their relationship with humans.

After all they've been throwing it in our faces that they aren't pokemon but hiding why UB-01 resembles Lillie.

>>28458016
Ding ding ding. We have a winner!

>>28459408
Technically they are coded in the game as pokemons. It's just that the game doesn't allow you to catch them

At this point it's safe to assume they'll work like the Gen 1 ghost-marowak and BW2 Black/White Kyurem, in the sense of being outright bosses.

This is going to be fucking great

When was the last time we saw a being just march up to a legendary, say "I'm going to fuck up your shit" and proceed to just throw down?

This is going to be dope

>>28457475
That's literally the first thing that came to mind.

>They are "boss battles"
>You fight them levels above the "Expected" level range (your party is 30ish and they are 60-70ish)
>They have Legendary or Mega tier stat distribution
>They have broken as fuck moves
>The have more than four moves

>>28463746
>But this is GF so you'll probably be able to 2shot them with your lead pokémon

>>28453235
This defeats the purpose (if they're bosses) Pokemon. In Pokemon ANYTHING you saw/fought/obtained could be captured and become a team mate. Ultra beast ruin a neat design aspect of the game

>Okay but what about ghost Marowa-

Literally a boss variant like the Totem-mon.

We have no basis on UBs and should probably wait till maybe this Wednesday to see if there's any basis on them being just fancy Pokemon or super bosses.
