Oh right.

That's still all of two other Pokemon with that typing. Not what I'd call common.

I'm just hoping they'll have some new Alola forms or something. Surely with overall expanded selection there will be some?

If you want to nitpick one could argue whether they are even pokemon. But if it walks like a duck...

I mean, they have all the hallmarks of legendaries, dont they? Limitied quantity, can't be bred, lowish catchrate, don't evolve, only obtainable through endgame/postgame stuff. I assume they're stated similarly but I haven't checked.

I consider Ultra Beasts Legendaries, but at the moment I don't think Pokemon officially considers any of the Tapu legendaries, so official word is just really confusing in that regard this generation. Basically, yes, if you can only get something in limited quantities and it can't breed, I think it's a legendary. Type: Null and Silvally fit that mold for me as well.

They showed a second stage starter fighting them and them attacking Aether HQ. that combined with the japanese trailer makes it seem like they're gonna be interwoven.

US/UM is gonna be like platinum++ it seems, where they added in way way way way more plot/character stuff and restructured part of the game.

Ultra Beasts are functionally the same as Legendaries, so they're Legendaries. Which also means we have two very kawaii and wonderful Poison-type Legendaries now (Nihilego and Adhesive).

The Tapus are Moltres/Entei/Regirock/Azelf/Cobalion/Tornadus tier Legendaries.

I'm disappointed my Brick Friend is Rock/Steel, that's super generic (well, 6 other pokemon, but it feels generic). Also a defensive pokemon that's quad weak to Earthquake, sure that'll go swimmingly :v:

Adhesive is cool, pure Poison is neat as well. Burst being Ghost/Fire is a bit weird (Fire was for certain but wanted either Grass or Fairy as the secondary).

Anyway who cares you get to go to a different dimension and take on weird Tron people, game looks good in my books right now.

Oh yeah, that Japanese USUM trailer that was posted some time ago? Here's the translation of what was said in it.

quote:

0:08 – Kukui: “Yeah! It’s said that long ago when Alola was covered in darkness the people and Pokémon of Alola vanquished the darkness with light.”
0:15 – Burnet talking about how rare it is to see cracks open up in the sky (Ultra Worm Holes)
0:22 – Shionira: “Necrozma, the Pokemon that controls light…does it plan to steal Alola’s light?”
0:58 – Guzma: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend, huh?” (literal translation: “So…it’s ‘keep the enemy alive, so we stay alive too, huh?”)
0:59 – Gladion: “If mom dies as well…!”
1:00 – Lusamine: “Get out of here…He’s…He’s a monster!!”

If you only count fully evolved it's 3 other pokemon that are Rock and Steel. Being quad weak to Fighting and Ground sucks, but if the numbers are high enough it'll do ok. The numbers won't be high enough, but there's hope!

Okay, so the Recon Guys will be bad enough to force the previous villains to ally with us? Good to see these the writing seems to be taking a step up and focusing on the potential that Ultra Space has.
