Sometimes (most times) the wrong game will be on the card. Don't do it.

I didn't. It's hard to find actual reports of them on google, but what I have heard is they randomly crash, crash in the goldenrod game center and make a weird clicking noise. Yikes.

Sadly it seems like I can't get a real copy of HG\SS and if I want to play it, I'll have to use an R4 cart. And that doesn't work on my 3DS XL, so I'd have to strain my eyes looking at a tiny screen. :(

Also for whatever reason I'm often more inclined to play through games I've actually bought versus roms because I spent actual money for them.

Of course, now that I've beaten the poo poo out of Gen 6, I am still going to try and play through the main stories of the rest of them, but I'm not actually going to catch them all on any previous gens.

new R4s work on all 3DS systems, or at least mine does. your best bet if you get that itch to go back and play old DS games is to do what I did, get a new R4 and load it full of DS roms :yarr:

Your title was so old it used HTML which isn't even allowed in titles anymore what the hell
I think its pretty clear that UB-01 is just that girl in the big hat. I bet she changes like that during a full moon or something, similar to Rockruff apparently. Shes a werejellyfishultabeast. Even the pokedex info they gave with it says it moves like a young girl.

"UB-01’s body is composed of a glass-like substance. However, it’s constantly changing shapes, never settling on one. While evidence of something like a survival instinct can be observed in UB-01, no one knows whether it has a will of its own or any emotions. It’s said that, for some reason, its movements resemble those of a young girl."

Either she is it or its an intentional red herring.

Rather than actually being her it could be a psuedo pokemon creature that was created by the Aether foundation performing bad science, with her as the test subject. So the ultra beasts aren't actually people but weird monsters created as reflections of people they performed experiments on.

Its probably all Lusamine's fault for being a bad mom.

UB-01 is clearly a mystical beast from another dimension whose first contact upon arriving in the pokemon world was with Lillie due to Aether Foundation experiments or some poo poo, and immediately upon this meeting the Ultra-Beast formed a meta-physical link with the girl and based it's appearance and mannerisms in this dimension on her. Which is also why UB-01 shows up when the Protag and Hau are at the Aether Foundation because they're pals with Lillie and so it trusts them.

I mean, it's all very obvious.

Also I can't imagine Nintendo would actually have Lillie turn out to be an extradimensional creature. Also the description suggests the creature is probably not sentient, but Lillie seems to have a distinct personality. My thought is that Lillie imprinted on the thing somehow, as it is a shapeshifter.
Lusamine is definitely a terrible mother. One of her kids became a research assistant to a professor to get away from her (my theory), and the other went emo and joined a gang.

I've come to believe that Professor Sycamore's assistants were the ones who were supposed to find Zygarde but then they realized they scored a Hawaiian vacation so they decide to dump that quest on us.

Maybe the ultra beasts are this generation's trio, and each one is connected to Lillie, Lusamine, or Gladion?

I'm pretty happy about it, because it means they're stuffing this game full of things to do. It looks like it's going to be a pretty expansive game.

New short japanese trailer (yes, another one). Has very quick shots of a lot of things. Not much new, but there is a shot of the menu when selecting the Z-Move and a shot of selecting a Poke-HM.

I am happy that many of my old pokemon friends are going on a Hawaiian vacation. Also, i'm very happy that Stoutland is one of the rideable pokemon, because he is strong and my friend.

I'm really liking the look of all the locations and stuff as well. Gen VII is gonna be extremely cool.

I hope Oak gives us Alola versions of the gen 1 starters with their own unique z-moves just to make it two generations in a row where the gen 1 starters get in on the gimmicks and the actual starters of that gen are left out
