Are Ultra Beasts Pokémons?
Maybe.
From another dimensionUltra Beasts were a fucking mistake
Yes. They explicitly say so in the game.
Yes.

>they have stats
>they have an Abilitie
No, they are not pokemon.
They're Pokemon from another dimension.
So they're just as much "Pokemon" as Digimon are "Pokemon."
So yes. Or no.
There is no definitive answer, which is on purpose.

The source material explicitly refers to them as Pokemon and they have the same defining properties as Pokemon.

Why are you supporting with someone who doesn't agree with you?

No, but they function like Pokemon.

>>32995613
They are ayys
>>32995613
Yes. Specifically they are legendary Pokémon on the level of the old Gen trios like the birds and pixies.

Plural of Pokémon is also Pokémon.
The ending mon stands for monster....

>haha i can't wait for UBs to not be catchable and usable
>>32995613
either: they're not pokemon.
or: they are, and have shit designs.
pick your favourite. I go with the former.
>>32995661
>They're Pokemon from another dimension
>So they are as much pokemon as something that isnt a pokemon
That's like saying they're humans because they come from another dimension.
And digimon is not an alternate dimension of pokemon.
>There is no definitive answer, which is on purpose.
There is, it requires playing the game and not being an idiot.
Yes, though they have a certain Lovecraftian vibe to them that I love and are based off invasive species, which I find funny because they were introduced in the same Gen as Alolan Raticate.
>>32995613
>Pokémons
This triggers my autism.

More like "deluded". If people here were dense discussion would improve a lot.

I mean, you're totally right if your taste is absolutely garbage.
