so... it's thought that you can get the treasure chest form in SV, and the roaming form in Go (but you have to link it to SV first)? Is that right?

The roaming form appears in SV as a means to collect coins?

Do we know what collecting coins is for, and are there a fixed number of them like wisps or can you get as many as you like (to use for whatever they are for)

And it made one-eighth the difference.
You collect all the coins to buy Porygon at the Game Corner.

You can't catch the roamers in SV and the SV trailers both show you just catching the chest form in the wild. I'm guessing the roaming forms are just for the coin collecting sidequest and not for evolving the thing because the only form you can catch is the chest version.

Could start a mimic team with Mimikyu and this guy. Voltorb, armoongus. Not just Pokemon that are modelled after things but Pokemon that pretend to be things.

They definitely were revealed pre-release and Nihilego was revealed pretty early from what I recall. But SM was doing like a Pokemon reveal a week for several months, Gamefreak's a lot more conservative with the reveals these days.

UB01 was revealed pretty early. All the prerelease info on ultra beasts used their codenames, we didn't find out their actual names until later.

I mean, a lot of them kinda do. I wouldn't be surprised if that was an intentional story beat that got dropped partway through development

I still believe that’s what they were going for but then changed their mind
Or maybe it’s just because it was the best idea and I was hyped for it and then disappointed ☹️

Lusamine being the Ultra Beast equivalent of those trainers that have their babies dressed as Pikachu or whatever is pretty funny.
