(Thinking up new and fresh titles is hard okay)

 

! Or not, here’s a round-up:

 

-They start off by introducing a strange new Pokemon named “Type: Null”. Yes, that is apparently its name. It looks pretty darn weird too. I’m…not entirely sure what to make of this, but the Pokedex info revealed makes it sound like it’s important to lore, being constructed to fight Legendary Pokemon or something like that. I’m guessing it’ll have a form change since that helmet is a power limiter. It’s supposed to combine the abilities of numerous Pokemon, so…chimera confirmed? There is speculation of alchemy-inspired themes in the game.

-Then they reveal Jangmo-o, a cute little Dragon Pokemon. I like how it looks, if it evolves into something cool I might try to make room for it on my team.

-There’s also Alolan Raticate. Nothing much to say here.

-Apparently, Sun and Moon are “set 12 hours apart”. It’s a little vague, but I’m guessing this means that Moon will actually invert the standard day/night cycle, so times that have been “day” during every game up until now will actually be “night”. This could make it easier to get certain time-based evolutions!

-Next is a new organization called the Aether Foundation. They appear to be responsible for the man-made island seen on the Alola map, which is a Pokemon sanctuary. It’s a little too soon to get a read on them, but this could be an interesting development.

-Team Skull has an “enforcer” named Gladion. I can’t wait to beat him up.

-Apparently Dexio and Sina, the glorified cameos who did absolutely nothing in X and Y, appear to give you a cube that you use to collect Zygarde Cells and Cores as you explore the region. Free Perfect Zygarde?! :D

-There’s a photo-taking feature in the game, and it seems very similar to the beloved Pokemon Snap (which I should probably play).

-At the end, a new concept known as “Ultra Beasts” is teased. It’s super vague, all it does is show one such Pokemon, named “UB-01”, and its Pokedex information says it’s made of a glass-like substance, constantly shapeshifts, it’s not clear if it has an actual intelligence, but apparently “its movements resemble those of a young girl”? I really don’t know what to think. Eager to learn more, though.

-I’ve heard that the Japanese equivalent of this trailer also shows a brief shot of a new Pokemon, a Pokemon that rather resembles Cutiefly, but no relation has been confirmed as of yet.

See, there's multiple reasons why I don't get into Pokemon, but

 

 

“its movements resemble those of a young girl”?

 

At times it feels like Kojima comes up with this stuff

i have the feeling that Jangmo-o will turn out to be the pseudolegendary of Gen 7

 

also the "Ultra Beast" seems...interesting. it's not listed under Pokemon, and maybe the "UB-01" is just a teaser name and will change. or that's the real name because it has no actual name.

 

Type: Null is a very bizarre name, but it's apparently an artificial pokemon too, so...hm.

Null's neck-helmet-ring-thing resembles Arceus's torso-ring-thing

Maybe that means rather than to fight gods it was made to be on-par with gods?

People are theorizing that there's a connection between UB-01 and previously-revealed character Lillie, so the movement thing might actually be related to that.  It does sound a little weird, though.

 

I would love it if Jang was a pseudo!  As for the Ultra Beasts, it will be interesting to see if they're some kind of non-Pokemon creature--this would be the first time they've invented a creature and not let us catch it! (Heads will roll.)

 

Oh, I see it!  Nice catch, that is reminiscent of Arceus.  I can't wait to see how that plays out!
