some folks in discord are saying there's incentives for checking into the demo on different days:

Also those new legendaries are loving weird as hell and I love it. Buff mosquito man and giant gaping maw grab own. I don't know what to make of the walking plug monster and the cirque du soleil tent ghost

I thought the Ultra Beasts were specifically not Pokemon, therefore not catchable?

people who hate them are just hipsters, and I love my emboar.

It's because it was the go-to for the fire starters for way too many times in a row. Nothing against the typing, but the creative bankruptcy is strong.

Swole fire cat looks 100% like a fire fighting even if it's ultimately fire dark.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

I know HMs are not a thing in SuMo and that you've got a Grass/Flying starter, but I'm still going to miss my buddy Tropius.

Oh, I guess the candle one is Marshadow then, I forgot about that name. And one of the tapus looks a bit dolphinesque

Also apparently the Wimpod evo stays bug/water, which is good.

e: wait, the space blobs are pre evos of Solgaleo and Lunala?

Yeah, evos for Legendaries. Its a brave new world.

Also calling that Alolan Golem is Steel/rock or ground. Its got some striking similarity to Probopass with the magnetic filing facial hair.

I should really just
learn to stop talking.
This is cool and all, but no new mega evolutions kinda sucks. It makes sense that they'd want to focus on new pokemon though, but focusing on the whole alolan form thing over megas is kinda eh.

I mean I like the alolan forms, but I'd like some more mega evolutions to choose from is all.

Mega Evolution was a mistake and only remains in the game as a legacy option.

Marshadow was trademarked with Solgaleo and Lunanala. It is the cute shadow candle thing that is presumably the Rayquaza/Giratina etc of this trio.

I'm sure in Crazy Diamond / Pearl Jam, we'll get Sinnoh and Johto starter megas to make up for this injustice.
