Oh I must have missed something: Can we actually change what we wear in this? I see different clothes on the characters.

Seems that way. A couple of trailers now have shown the protags wearing different outfits. Guess they didn't feel the need to advertise it heavily since it isn't a new feature.

It'd be really weird and sort of against the whole spirit of the series if you had to fight a creature you couldn't also catch and use yourself. I know Pokemon wasn't the first RPG where you could recruit monsters and have them fight for you, but it may have been the first where all of them could be controlled.*

*I'm probably wrong

I'm probably wrong too, but what I'm kind of expecting is that the ultra beasts are ~*fused*~ with NPCs in some way, and then that you battle them (?) to un-fuse them and then when you save the NPC the UB turns into a poke that you can catch.

Rumours say it's evolutionary method is somehow related to the starter evolutions.

it's supposed to share some special new mechanic or something with the starter pokemon evolutions, so once we know what rockruff does we'll know what they do i guess

Personally I hope that SM goes the animal crossing route and doesn't lock off clothing by gender. I want everyone to be able to wear the Pangoro hat and shades.

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.

Perhaps it simply saw her and decided to start mimicing her for some reason?

It might be related to the Dracaena genus of plants. They kinda resemble palm trees (but not that closely related to them). They are known as dragon trees. Or it might be related to Dragon fruit.

There are a bunch of different species of dragon tree which can look pretty different. If I had to guess, I'd say Alola Executor was probably based on one of the house plant varieties.

It's really surprising there are no dolphin Pokemon. Maybe with a Hawaiian theme they might do something about that. Dolphins already look like Pokemon with their giant heads.
