Most likely it's similar to Ashes Greninja, each main NPC doing bullshit with a pokemon to make them

Literally my mom's overdesigned idea

The embodiment of human thought. They're like Personas and Shadows.
The electrical cord one even looks like the Hermit from Persona 3. It's probably the physical manifestation of Guzma's jealousy or something.
Expand Dong is Gladion's lust for power, and Beauty is Lusamine's desire for a beautiful world.

Pokemon from another dimension brought into our world by the Aether Foundation's experiments (which also resulted in the creation of Type:Null)

They are microbes but fuckhube

What the fuck does this mean!?

Gladion is most likely tied to that all-black cryatal bug one. I think Absorption is tied to an unrevealed character.
My bet is that they are more or less pokemon.

At the end of the day they have Dex numbers, stats, types, and more normal names. They are for the most part, treated as a group of legendaries.
You had the legendary birds, the legendary beasts, the golems, the small legends, and now the ultra beasts.
My only reasoning on this really, aside from their dex entries, is that Type:Null was in a similar situation.
It had a weird as fuck name, a major roll in the story, was revealed along side ultra beasts, and just seemed out of place.
now it has been revealed to evolve into Silvally, which is a much more traditional pokemon name. So i think we can look forward to saying something like Mitosorption, or Beautiroach, rather than having to wallow through GO GET HIM UB 02: ABSORPTION!at least i fucking hope so.
