I'd like for them to become a staple instead of a one-off gimmick. Maybe a few each generation or something.

It's interesting to see what the team can do when they're not constrained by the standard design philosophy.

I've seen complaints that their designs are too out there to be Pokemon, but I argue that each batch of legendaries have been pretty varied that they don't look particularly out of place.

Funny cause I've been seeing nothing but the opposite, people actually have started to like them, surprisingly more then what I was expecting. And no, it's not just /vp/, most of the fanbase has started to warm up since they know we're gonna be stuck with them for the rest of the series abd more are bound to come.
And have you even used them, they are a tone of fun with just how ridiculous they are.

>>29987881
Yes, Xurkitree and Buzzwole are new favorites of mine.
I'm excited to see what the UBs will bring to the seires

>>29988648
Yeah I've see shockingly little backlash, coming from a fanbase that shat it's pants in rage over Garbodor.

I think it's because they're advertised as something new, so you can't even go "not muh Pokaman" because duh, that's the point.

>>29987881
Ow, yes.

Not really.
Some look interesting and I will catch em all. However, like Legendary and Mythical pokemon they are going to sit and rot in a box.

When they were revealed I wasn't so sure, but now I'm satisfied with the explanation of why they look strange.

Litfag here. Straight up did not know the cancer known as Reddit had a hard on for ma boi Howard Phillips. Or rather, I suppose I did, as his popularity has surged in recent years. I just simply did not know that the distain for Reddit could ruin such works that precede it by decades simply by advocacy.

bamboo waifu and hombre are big mons

>few of them have disernable faces
This triggers the autism. Plus, I can't defend the idea that designs are getting too overly complicated. So long as Pokemon and UBs stay distinct groups, I guess I can deal.

All in all, they're overpowered, overdesigned story pieces I most likely won't use.

>>29988404

This word has truly lost all meaning at this point

Does serebii's catch rate for them feel accurate for everyone who has the game? The roach and the origami having a catch rate of 255 seems bizarre.

Or are those only the catch rates when using beast balls because the lowest is 15 so every non beast ball being locked to 1x doesn't seem that bad.

I just hope they aren't indicative of massive power-creep since UBs are stronger than 95% of the dex yet they're supposed to be just average Pokemon in their dimension.

>>29988935
it's the whole concept
those beasts are more powerful than your regular pokemon and have ridiculous high stats
and they live in a nightmarish world

>>29988986
it's a fucking ROCKET-sized pokemon
and the walking trash-compactor has a black hole right down the middle
the Origami can cut steel Pokemon in half
the cockroach has lightning speed

>>29989072
>being obtuse
They're rare in the Pokemon world.

>>29989082
you think there are humans in the other dimension?

>>29989082
Let's be real the main reason they're better than most of the dex is because most of the dex is (sadly) awful

>>29989110
It's weird, it's implied there aren't yet UBs take to Pokeballs and being trained very easily.

>>29989068
Shit anon. Who pissed in your cereal today? So antagonistic

>>29988993
How does them being different make them over designed? They each have clear, recognizable design elements and interesting lore that reinforce the core concepts.

>>29988999
>>29989026
For whatever it's worth, the Pokedex and game code officially groups

under "sublegends."

>>29989046
I already knew of that from that other thread, but still by the standards of there universe, they are merely just regular pokemon so I don't really see them "officially" as Legendary.
Still, not liking something for simply being the equivalent of a Legendary is plain stupid. What, you're gonna telm me you don't like Lati@s or Ho-oh or Suicune just cause they're Legendary ?

>>29989162
>twas merely a jest

I want to fuck celesteela.

>>29989112
They are pretty OP compared to most Pokemon anon. Crazy min maxed stats and custom moxie boosts along with good movepools.

>>29989162
Pretty great day actually. Just didn't find that a valid reason to hate UBs. I think anon doesn't like UBs which is fine but he needs to find the right reason to hate them.

>>29989205
Everyone does

I'll definitely use Xurkitree, Pheromosa, and Kartana in battle as sweepers. I just wish Celesteela had a more interesting stat distribution because I absolutely love its design.

>UBs live literally in a Kill or Be Killed world
Imagine the hunter/prey relationship in that world.

Aye.

They're easily some of the best designs this generation.

>>29989325
Imagine living in a world with something like Guzzlord wandering around.

>>29989316
It and Buzzwole are the only two I won't feel guilty using as they seem to be more pseudo-like in stat spread.

>>29989352
wouldn't Phermosa's have the upper hand in UB world since they can make literally everyone infatuated to them?

If anyone has the upper hand in that world, it's probably Xurkitree. Being able to whip around energy on most of the other UB's who focus on melee is pretty strong.

Keep in mind that all of these have beast boost, so all of the ones listed (minus guzzlord) become nigh-unstoppable after they kill something

If there is a tie in to the ultra-beasts I don't see how it would get as bad as Alola. Giratina has a job to do protecting the world from spooky dimensional things like that.

hey rocket princess isn't waifu shit, the design is pretty sick. Carried me through half the battle tree.

>>29990313
Probably some kind of Delta episode type thing, with Cyrus's attempt at making a new universe damaging the fabric of reality and letting in ultrabeasts, to which either Giratina or maybe arceus would try take action against. The idea of this time-space fuckery just feels like it would fit in DP

Also, maybe not actually in the games, But I have a feeling they'd probably have some kind of clash between Arceus and Silvally, similar to Mew vs. Mewtwo

kartana is my bro. wanted an origami pokemon for ages, so i can't wait to use one.

>>29987881
I'm taking the game slow, but also legit excited to get to these guys.

>>29987881
Ever since I saw Hoopa Unbound and Perfect Zygarde I hoped they'd do something as out there as that again with other Pokemon. Then here we are with Ultra Beasts, and I see they went far and beyond my original hopes.

So what about Pheromosa is fighting?

Wrong, the majority opinion is they're fucking great, and more people are coming back to the series than ever due to the series being so different thanks to them.

And even if GF looked at the haters whining about them, they've already confirmed they don't really care about complaints and beggers, they just do whatever the fuck they want with these games.

I fail to see how those toothpick legs could pack a base 135 attack or fighting type.

It's a weird interdimensional alien, the rules of its biology are not the same as ordinary pokemon and even less of the real world

Most pro fighters in our world are DYEL skellys

I absolutely love all of them and also the concept as a whole.

Look at him. He has a bit of muscle but is definitely a DYEL compared to people who do bodybuilding. It's much better for fighters to have a shape like him than a body like Arnold used to have. It's also why Pheromosa is so much better than Buzzwole

It was an alright concept that ended up being great.

It feels like Gamefreak had a lot more fun with UBs than the actual Pokemon, I'm guessing Ohmori is a fan of the more alien designs

no dummy, the box mascots and mythicals are on a separate list.

I like them as a distinct group.

if we have pokemon, and we have UBs, and there's a clear line between the two, then I'm good.

if they were just pokemon, I would have issues.

Why is this the new trendy "obscure" word people like to say lately? Is it really a Reddit thing?

I like UB's as a concept and I think they're pretty cool stat-wise too. I'm not entirely sure how their ability works, is it basically like moxie for whichever base stat is the highest or whichever stat is currently the highest? Like let's say I have one with high attack/special attack, but their physical attack is slightly higher. If I KO something, it gets a pATK boost, but if I use nasty plot and KO something, it gets a sATK boost?

>>29987881
Yeah, my favorites being Guzzlord and Buzzwole.

>>29995867
I don't remember if it takes boosts into account, but yeah it's basically moxie but for your highest stat

For a while people thought you could get multiple boosts by being tied for your highest stats, but that probably would have been too much

>>29987881
Design and lorewise, very.

Storywise, fuck no. You only battle a single ub during the story (only have to take it to half health) and the rest are dealt with offscreen despite that cutscene of shit opening up all over alola. They were basically an afterthought to family drama.

Only autismo /vp/ and about 66% of the board

You only have to weaken it? I OHKO'd it with bulldoze without realizing what type it was

>>29987881
disappointed in most of their type combinations
