Type Null is like some Metal Gear poo poo

quote:

This Pokémon wearing a mask has been dubbed “Null,” meaning nothing.

The shapes of its front and hind legs are clearly different. The reason is that Type: Null was constructed to synthesize the strengths of various Pokémon, enabling it to adapt to any situation.

The mask fitted to Type: Null’s head is a piece of equipment designed to control its latent powers. It’s extremely heavy, so it also serves to hinder Type: Null’s agility.

To complete a certain mission, there was need of a Pokémon powerful enough to rival those Pokémon often spoken of in mythology.

It's fun to see someone from Kalos with some personality.

Anyway, how long do you think it'll take for the Aether Foundation to be revealed as the real villains?

I must be reading too much into the description but does it seem from the wording that Ultra Beasts are not actually Pokemon? Maybe some sort of...dangerous new lifeform to the Pokemon world?

One day a movie will be made, similar to Splice, about a group of scientists genetically modifying animals to make them stronger, faster, and submissive to their human controllers. After experiment after experiment continues to fail and some horrible accident occurs killing the staff the screen starts to fade to black as one last audio sound rings out....

"It appears that the Aether Foundation is also conducting research on these Ultra Beasts."

If not straight-up villains, there's no way the foundation will be completely on the straight and narrow. They're very conspiciously white.

The Japanese trailer even showed they have their own grunts. Aether is super suspicious.

I would love it if Type: Null was an attempt to engineer a pokemon with every type but they ended up canceling out to 0.

EDIT: According to the links posted above, not really I guess.

I want you to have to team up with Guzma to take down a legendary beast in a doubles battle. It doesn't even have to be a thing where Team Skull goes on the straight, they just join forces with you to avoid getting stomped

I'm guessing Type:Null is going have a form where its helmet is off and it gets way stronger

Either that or that's its Z-Move

Because urban areas are their main habitat, their diet is higher in calories than ordinary Raticate. As a result, they have become hefty.

Alolan Raticate prefers to eat only fresh fruits and high-class ingredients. There are rumors that a certain top-notch restaurant takes advantage of Alolan Raticate’s taste buds by bringing it along when choosing ingredients to buy, and having it taste test new dishes.

Gotta say I didn't expect a Ratatouille reference.

Evidently not. It'll be another change of pace.

Me neither, but it's a nice way to make Raticate relevant. Maybe the movie did well in Japan?

I'm really not a fan of the NPC art. It seems like the last few generations the designs have been getting more and more "look, I'm an anime. Add more gravity defying neon!". Gen 1 seemed almost like the realistic pokmon game with how subdued most of the designs were.

Of course this kind of stuff drops while I'm sleeping, think I've added most of the important info to the OP. Woo for constantly updating.

These games seem to be going off the loving rails and it's fantastic. Only ten weeks to go!
