Pokémon UltraSun and UltraMoon

this looks pretty sick, actually
 
Trailer looks sick. I hope it means what it's implying and the Ultra Beasts have a larger impact on the story. I think they're such a cool idea and I want more done with them. Bizarre, otherworldly creatures arriving in Alola and wreaking havoc and you the Champion must assume the role as protector of the region against these things. Such a cool concept, but very weak execution.
 

Another new trailer. There's a new Ultra Beast that's pure poison, UB Adhesive. We can also travel to Ultra Space and battle the beasts there, and it seems like there's also a new faction of people dedicated to the UBs. UB Burst is confirmed to be Fire / Ghost and UB Assembly is Rock / Steel.

At first I was worried these would be too similar to SM, but now I'm really hyped.
 
Finally, a hype trailer.

Shame on Assembly's garbage typing. Was hoping for Rock/Ghost. Expected Burst to be Fairy, but I'm hyped that it's ghost-type.

New team looks cool, guessing they have blue skin due to being in the Ultra Space for years.
 
You know unpopular opinion maybe, but I'm not a fan of these Ultra Beasts. Wasn't in the original S/M and still not here. They're just so jarring to me so seeing how this game seems to focus on them more, it makes me even less excited sadly.
 
See, I'm of the opposite opinion. I love how unpokémon they look. They're essentially aliens from another dimension. I would have gone a step farther and actually made them uncatchable and have absurd stats. That way they'd be bosses that would require whole teams of Pokémon to subdue. I love the idea of these overwhelming monsters appearing and you have to defend Alola.

UB adhesive resembles a thicc purple mew with a delicious chicken dinner on its head

I just like the idea that we're capturing creatures who are in fact not pokemon.
 
Looks like UB-Burst is Fire/Ghost and UB-Assembly is Rock/Steel. I was hoping that they will both be Ghost-types with unused combinations (Normal/Ghost and Rock/Ghost respectively), but I think their stats might be the most interesting part. I have doubts that Assembly will do great since Rock/Steel has traditionally been a very difficult type to use effectively, with Aggron being the best due to its high Attack.

UB-Adhesive is another Poison-type. I thought it would be the first "legendary" Poison-type, but I remembered that Nihilego preceded it.

Thank you for reading.
 
New trailer. Points of note:\

New signature move for the new Necrozma forms.
Solgaleo and Lunala's signature moves now have Z move versions. I think only Necrozma can use them though
New Rotom Dex features are basically O Powers. It can also give you the ability to use two Z moves per battle.
 
Some points from a recent interview. Bolded the biggest stuff.
Junichi Masuda in in charge of fully supervising the game.

Game Freak was greatly relieved to learn that Z-Moves were well-received by fans.

For Sun & Moon, Game Freak worked on balancing bosses by making them beatable if players use proper strategies or suffer if they go in recklessly.

After completing work on Sun & Moon, the staff felt that there was still more they could do in the Alola region.

The reason they’re releasing Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon is to offer players some variety before the current image they get stuck with the same image of Alola.

The story isn’t a “sequel.” It’s a “story that has a little divergence” from Sun and Moon.

Characters from the “Ultra Expedition Team” make an appearance, and that’s where the story changes. They appear at the opening of the game, so you’ll be able to start the game with excitement.

On top of a different main story from Sun & Moon, there’s an additional new episode after entering the Hall of Fame. Game Freak teases that those who are looking at it as what Platinum was to Diamond and Pearl, can expect an even more ultra huge change coming.

The Ultra Expedition Team arrived from another world through an Ultra Wormhole. A new element is being prepared that will have the protagonist and company dive into the Ultra Wormhole and visit all kinds of different worlds.

Pokémon will be much easier to collect and train compared to Sun and Moon.

Using the “Ultra Warp Ride” to travel to other worlds, you’ll even get to visit a world with Legendary Pokémon. For example, you can meet and catch Mewtwo. That’s all Game Freak has to say about that for now and they’ll leave it to your imagination whether we’ll get to meet other Legendary Pokémon.

If we put it simply as far as story volume goes, the addition of Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon should about double the current story volume for the Sun & Moon generation.
