Guzzlord could pass for a normal pokemon as well.

I would rank Guzzlord as pretty odd.
It's probably the only one that really doesn't look like it belongs in Pokemon.
>>
>>30602355
Kartana, Buzzwole, Nihilego, and Guzzlord look nothing like any Pokemon we've seen so far.

I bet Gamefreak designers were told to go nuts there. To design creatures that don't resemble pokemon on purpose.

At least it's not a burning turkey.

Fuck moltres and fuck your "muh old gens where way better designed" retardation.
>>
>>30602225
Because stillshots dont give stats or 'personality'.

All of the UBs are super cute in Refresh. I expected hungry hombre to be constantly angry based on the leak, but he's just a big softie. And nobody can hate Skeeter for just wanting to show off his gains.

It helps most of them are either usable or downright overpowered in terms of metagame. Poor Celesteela is gonna get a ton of hate that she never asked for just because she can do super cancerous stall sets on top of being a potential setup sweeper.

I think Guzzlord is the most "Pokemon-like" out of them all, actually. "Scary", but really "soft" features and short limbs.

>>30602489
Kartana i'll agree, Buzzwole is just "make a bug Machamp" and Nihilego while weird is just a Water Toucannon but Rock/Poison.
>>
>>30602638
I'm not complaining, I think it's cool.

What should I add to my extraterrestrial team? So far I've decided on Beeheeyem and Magnezone for sure. Other contenders are Deoxys, Clefable, and some UBs but I'd like to get as much variety in typing as possible. Any thoughts or ideas?
>>
>>30602954
Yes, Deoxys is freaky and strange.
>>
>>30601472
Do regular balls not work well on UB's? (As in a lower catch rate?)
Because I'm going to catch all of them in premier/luxury balls and save the Beast balls for some dumb shit
>>
>>30602954
Deoxys is borderline creepfest if you think about it.

Capable of changing forms for combating purposes, on a suicide mission to nuke Earth as far as we know, and he is strong enough to push Mega Fug into a corner.

UBs on the other hand are strange and freaky looking but don't come off as menacing unless it's Guzzlord. Nihilego is cruel as fuck though.
>>
>>30602994
Based on my own experience, no.
Beast Balls have a 0.1x multiplier against normal Pokemon, but that's it.
>>
>>30602994
Yeah, they can catch them, its just programmed to be a really low catch rate due to the Poke Balls not being able to tell they're Pokemon.
>>
>>30602994
Beast balls have a 5x modifier on UBs, but all other balls work just as well.
Beast balls, however, have a 0.1x modifier to all other pokemon.

"They have no legends or lore to them, they factually in a literal sense are not legendary to the people of Alola or to the pokemon world. They don't come from nor relate to any existing legendary pokemon. They aren't one of a kind or even unique, they are only special because they aren't from this dimension but in their home dimension they are numerous. They aren't actually powerful, it's the ultra wormhole energy that makes them so dangerous distorting their stats and abilities from what they naturally should be."

There was this in-game, but it's not specific "Cosmog is hypothesized to be a type of Ultra Beast that hails from another dimension"

OK I'll take the bait.
>subhuman genwunner fails to see through pic related yet again

It's literally stated ingame that Xurkitree's body is like cable to let it conduct electricity better.

Quoted directly from Wicke - "This UB's bodily makeup is highly reminiscent of electrical wiring, thus enabling it to conduct electricity with great efficiency."

"When it begins to run out of power, it stabs its legs and tail into the soil, entering a treelike state as it absorbs electricity directly from the ground." The fucker's name even ties into this.

If you honestly think Fearow 2: Electric Boogalo is a better concept than this I have no words for you anon.

Because it only looks like a tree when it's absorbing electricity, it doesn't have any biological characteristics that would make it a grass type. Going by that same logic Sudowoodo would be Rock/Grass because it mimics a tree too.

We didn't get five more ultra beasts which is wrong because all the ultra beasts are fucking spectacular.

There's not a single one I don't like. They all look weird as fuck, but they all act extremely goddamn cute in Refresh, they're all pretty good in battle, up to absolutely spectacular with Battle Roach and Starship Unkillable, they have a great battle theme, and they really should have been more than just a post game cleanup mission, you should have been able to catch Buzzwole and Pheromosa in the story and battle Lusamine and her team of Ultra Beasts with one of your own in the ultimate showdown.

I like all the designs but they look like they don't belong. I understanding the designs being alien but it looks like they got lifted from a different franchise and placed into Pokémon.

Guzzlord looks like it'd fit into Kingdom Hearts with no issues, if you told me Celesteela was from a Shin Megami Tensei game I'd totally believe you and Pheremosa looks like it could have been a character in a Dreamworks animated film

Wtf is Ceelesta?

And Guzzlord is some kinda crab thing? I don't get it.

Xurtitree is kinda dancing over the line.

Kartana is a cool idea, just don't really know if it belongs in pokemon.

The rest have designs which I understand and can enjoy. They're interesting yet they're understandable to an extent.

I don't care if it's "from another dimension," I want a coherent fucking design.

Shit, I love me some UBs.
I can accept it if somebody doesn't like a particular design because it 'doesn't look like a Pokemon,' but in this case it's kind of the point.

They're all kinda neat, but also goofy as hell. They're (almost) all really good, but (almost) all have a crippling weakness to keep them from being unreasonable. Charmander used ember, for Kartana. Pidgey used gust, for Buzzwole. Anything used anything for Pheromosa.

Harmoknight was good but really flawed as a rhythm game, as well as being too short. I'd rather see a more polished version of Sun and Moon or Drill Dozer 2 but a sequel to Harmoknight would be very nice indeed.

Now explain what's so "completely shit" about them.
>>
Ultra beasts are meant to be very different than legendaries. As in barely even counting as Pokemon, they never call them Pokemon.

They're supposed to be invading monsters from an alternate universe and they are that. There like 15 Nihelgo, basically flying around like zubats would. How is Xurkitree any different. You don't even just catch one there's clearly meant to be multiple.
>>
>>30616348
Hmm, you really think so? I actually think gen. 3 has the most "safe" legendary designs if you know what I mean. Overall not too simple or complex.

Moltres is literally a rubber chicken that someone set on fire.

It was so terrible that Gamefreak added a much better designed phoenix legendary in the next gen.
>>
>>30600830
I can't tell if this is a joke or not.
Zapdos is my favourite bird but it's just a fucking bird with a "zappy" outline, a fucking kid with no fantasy would design something like that.

Do Ultra Beasts all come from the same world or are they all from different dimensions?

>>30616529
Play the fucking game faggot
>>
Favorites are Xurkitree and Buzzwole.
Personally I really love the designs but I hate the powercreep that they bring with them.
Also they're supposed to be different from normal pokemon (as in pokemon from another dimension) and they said in an interview they told the designers to go wild, but in all of the gameplay aspects and mechanics they function exactly as normal pokemon, which breaks the immersion for me.

>Nihilego is cruel as fuck though.

It's not. It's just a symbiot/parasite. The toxins it releases enhance whatever the host wants/excels at. Lusamine was fucking crazy to begin with, so it made here extra coocoo.

A really good person would probably become a saint.

It enhances its host to protect itself from harm. Not out of malicious intent. Stronger host=safer parasite.

>>30610320
>I understanding the designs being alien but it looks like they got lifted from a different franchise and placed into Pokémon.


THAT'S THE FUCKING IDEA.
They're not just alien, they're from an entirely different dimension. Where apparently creatures with voids for stomachs, and living electric wiring exist. They're not just supposed to be alien, but completely bizarre and not pokemon like. Because for all intents and purposes, they're not.
>>
>>30610632
Why do they look like a group of heroes?

> Nihilego

The weird one.
The one with the strange powers and no voice, but speaks trough the people it posseses.

> Buzzwole

The leader(Red one is always the leader)
He charges into battle headfirst while flexing. Always protects his comrades, and is heroic and inspiring.

> Xurkitree

The goofball.
He's the jokester/joke character. No-one really takes him seriously, and he likes to chill and be a bro. But when push comes to shove he suddenly is able to unleash massive lightningstorms.


> Pheromosa

The snooty lady
Always acts snooty and haughty, and is really arrogant. This is not unfounded, as she is incredible in battle and is quick and deadly. Only listens to, and respects Buzzwole for his power. Becomes friendlier later on


> Celesteela

Big and not that bright
Huge and not so smart, but incredibly powerful and dangerous. Usually blasts things to shit. Sometimes by accident.

> Kartana

Honorable swordsguy.
On a journey to become the strongest, joins Buzzwole at first just so he can seek out strong opponents, but later becomes an ally of justice because he gets inspired.

> Guzzlord
Big friendly guy
He's big, friendly, is always hungry, and everyone they meet is always initially very afraid of him, which upsets him to no end. Is able to eat weaponry and other things he can store in his own pocket dimension and later barf up for use.


I am so bored ;__;

I was about to shit on you for hating on the Ultra Beasts, but then I realized you were shitposting. So, here's your (You).

Ultra Beasts are amazing, when they came up with Hoopa Unbound and Zygarde perfect form, I was hoping they'd do awesome designs like that again in the future, but they ended up 1 upping my wishes so much and gave us these Ultra Beasts. Hope we get more, or things like them in the future

You damn well know it's not based on that.

They took the Ice/Fire/Lighting vidya trio and slapped them onto big birds.
