Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[PsychoIncarnate]

I want someone to rip Gladion's theme from the japanese trailer already

Yeah, because GF totally can't just program the normal forms to show them in trailers

It was official artwork though, not in game

 

[---]

If Aether turns out to be good guys through and through then I think we have found the uncanny valley for heroes. Where they present themselves as the heroes so much it snaps back.

To Aether's credit, it would be cool to have a female villain for the first time. I will say that I'm loving the new artwork people are making of Lusamine. I'm getting a lot of Rosalina vibes from her ironically.

Spoiler

 

[Arcanir]

Just saw the videos.

I get huge Digimon Tamers vibes from that jellyfish and Lillie, while I doubt they're one in the same, I wouldn't be surprised if she owns it and it has a Jeri-type relationship with her in terms of taking on her form. As for the rest, the Ultra Beast thing is very interesting and I like the chimera aspect they're going for with it. The new group I'm sure will be antagonistic at some point, so I'm just curious as to what causes that, and I like the little dragon, hopefully we get to catch it.

Also, what the hell happened to poor Raticate?

I haven't found the rumor I was talking about yet, but I did find this

Makes you think

I remember that rumor, it is funny he got that last bit right after pretty much the entire rest of the rumor has been wrong. Probably got lucky though since I remember some fans tossing around the idea of Lillie being related to the villains of the games.

That was fast.

 

[AreJay25]

So, after watching the trailer and reading all of the information and theories surrounding it...

... What the actual **** is even going on in this game?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

That was fast.

There is also some rule 34 but I predict Wicke is going to get more of that

That's the thing we don't know and I'm excited because we don't have know what's going on

Is Team Skull the actual villains or is it the Aether Corp?

What is the Ultra Beast

Where did Type: Null come from?

Has Pokemon gone too far with Alolan Exeggutor

 

[Pazzo.]

It appears that each organization has a blond-haired member... and perhaps an Ultra creature for each.

Maybe there's another organization pulling the strings here. Who knows?

I could see a lone person manipulating behind the scenes. Not so much a 3rd organization(not counting, say, one person with renegade Grunts from both sides).

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Let's see ... Mysterious girl with possible ties to world ending threat, stronger untamable monsters that can summon minions, trials of water, fire, earth (grass) and wind/sky (electric)...

Funny how innovation in Pokemon is doing what every other RPG has done. If the trend continues there'll be a plot twist where the proagonist's past is a lie, Melee Melee Island gets destroyed in the first two hours and the final boss is killing Arceus.

 

[AreJay25]

Has Pokemon gone too far with Alolan Exeggutor

The most important question.

 

[Z25]

I think they mean Faba?

"Faba
The Aether Foundation branch chief sports green sunglasses. They’re his signature accessory! He seems very proud of his position as branch chief"

The weasely looking guy


I'm looking for the rumor with axe head dog, which I think is Type:Null

I've kept all of the rumors, and haven't heard that one.... So I sadly don't have it.

Faba could be the leader but who would have more power, the president or chief?

 

[Ivander]

I don't think power matters much with manipulators. He might not be the head man, but as chief, he is probably the one who does give some ideas and suggestions to the president to get them acknowledged and such. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if he gave an idea or two to the president, she ended up liking the idea, but is unwary of the idea's true intention. That is a common plot point with 'second--in-command' characters.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

This joke is a little dark ...too soon I guess

[Erureido]

Finished with classes for today (I did manage to watch the trailer before going to them), so I finally have time to post my thoughts.

When I first saw Type: Null's name, I thought it was referring to a new type while keeping its name a secret. It wasn't until the end of the trailer when I realized that Type: Null was its actual name. It does look pretty unique though, like its a combination of multiple Pokemon. Perhaps it was the ultimate Pokemon fashion of some sort?

Nothing much to say about Jangmo-o and Alola Raticate. I have a feeling its evolution(s) will be Steel/Dragon considering that its scales look pretty metallic, not to mention the website hints that it has some sort of "headstrong" attitude, like its determination is as hard as iron. Alola Raticate's design wasn't what I expected with the emphasis on food.

A 12 hour time difference between the Sun and Moon versions? I think it's a neat concept. It seems like in the Moon version, you could be playing the game during the day, but it will actually be dark in-game. I'm getting Sun though, so that means I'm going to see a more usual time and day feature. The version different Totem Pokemon concept is pretty neat too, especially how Gumshoos and Alola Raticate are used.

Aether Foundation was probably my favorite part of the news. It turns out that artificial island is their base, and it seems they are pretty simple folks at first considering how they are around to oppose Team Skull. When I look back at them though, I can't help but think they have the potential to be the real bad guys. Lusamine looks like a pretty mysterious character, and I wouldn't be surprised she turned out to be the main villain in the story for reasons we don't know yet.

Gladion looks like a cool character. He looks like someone that will have a major impact to the plot, perhaps even more than Guzma and Plumeria. It's interesting to see that he has Type: Null on his team. Makes me wonder what kind of connection he has to it, especially for other information I'll get to later.

Very nice to see Dexio and Sina make a return from X and Y. Makes sense that they are the ones that introduce to you about Zygarde since all three are from Kalos after all. Not surprised that the device will help you find Zygarde Cells and Cores during your adventure considering it's mostly information we already know.

Pokefinder looks like a fun feature. I'm glad they expanded the photo-taking feature from X/Y to the point we have a Pokemon Snap-like system in the main series games.

And UB-01... now this is interesting. It looks similar to Lillie, and its description even states its actions are similar to that of a young girl's. Perhaps Lillie is UB-01 but in human form? I'm really curious to see how these "Ultra Beasts" will impact the story.

I know Zoroarking already beat me to it, but when I first heard about how Lillie and UB-01 could be connected, I notice that Lusamine looks a lot like Lillie. A few hours later, I hear theories being further expanded about how even Gladion could be related to the two. I mean, look at all of them side by side.

My guess is that Lillie is either Lusamine's sisterand could be an artificial-being (those ultra beasts look like they were made in labs). As for Gladion, he looks like he could be their brother, and maybe he broke away from the Aether Foundation for reasons that will be revealed in the story (perhaps it could have something to do with the Aether Foundation being secretly evil).

I'm thinking they are either all UB's or the UB's are using Lusamine as some kind of human imprint, compying her

It would make sense to me that the UB's infiltrate the orginizations

 

[Chrono.]

So here's a wild theory I pulled outta my ass.

What if Type Null is the breeding cat from one of those leaks. The one that could change it's type.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

So here's a wild theory I pulled outta my ***.

What if Type Null is the breeding cat from one of those leaks. The one that could change it's type.

Some people have theorized that, but it's been pointed out Type: Null is genderless

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I just got my hands on some Taiyaki, now to eat those while studing. maybe it will make studying better

 

[Chrono.]

Some people have theorized that, but it's been pointed out Type: Null is genderless

But so is Ditto?

EDIT:NVM I see what you mean, hmm.

I guess that theory's dead.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

But so is Ditto?

Which means Type: Null can only breed with Ditto, which means it's offspring can't suddenly get the type of what it breeds with.

Unless you are suggesting that like Ditto it can breed with anything

 

[Chrono.]

Yea I know.

Just kinda had a brainfart back there.

 

[Ivander]

So are Ditto and Manaphy. Also, Latias and Latios should be able to breed with each other, but can't. Also, we know Mew can have children, yet it can't breed.

Being able to breed will come when it is called for. And I would not be surprised if a Pokemon based on a chimera could. But we'll have to wait and see.

 

[Z25]

Oh yeah, how about the fact Alolan Raticate is Remy:

"
Alolan Raticate prefers to eat only fresh fruits and high-class ingredients. There are rumors that a certain top-notch restaurant takes advantage of Alolan Raticate’s taste buds by bringing it along when choosing ingredients to buy, and having it taste test new dishes."

I see what you did there

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I need a picture of Mob boss Alolan Raticate with his Alolan Rattata henchmen while detectives Yungoos and Gumshoose track them down

 

[Z25]

You battle Dexio and Sina. They also seem to have mega bracelets. And this confirms the game takes place a few years after XY.

 

[Chrono.]

My favorite thing about them was when everyone Twitter (including me) forgot who they were.

 

[Wario Bros.]

This is easily the most WTF trailer for Sun & Moon to me:

• Faticate - Looks like it has the mumps. Meh desigin
• Jangmo-o - Looks like the pseudo-legendary here. Kewl design
• Type: Null - Hands down the strangest Pokémon name. Very odd in design. Definitely would like to know moar about it.
• Aether Foundation - Meh but most likely plot important.
• Ultra Beasts - ... Uh... Weird. What exactly?

 

[SuperMii3D]

I like Fatticate. Too bad it has a 4x weakness and what seems to be a lower speed than its regular counterpart. Im still thinking of teams.

Not a fan of the Pokemon that were revealed today, UB-01 is just weird. I was also confused by Type: Null's name. Why did it get that name???

You battle Dexio and Sina. They also seem to have mega bracelets. And this confirms the game takes place a few years after XY.

Why hello there Sina ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Theres that building that was featured in one of the artworks when Sun and Moon was first revealed. Cant say for sure if thats where the Trial Captain is at but its a possibility.

Good catch about Manaphy, I had forgotten it was a special case.

It looks like it's on the second island from the map, with the water captain being nearby.

Also this is cool:

[SuperMii3D]

That makes sense.
Also, I have a feeling that Type: Null will be able to change its typing.

It looks like it encompasses many features of different Pokemon types. Steel and Wooden armor, dragon-like claws, tail-fin etc. By default its name is Type: Null, but when changed, its name will change to reflect its type.

 

[Aetheri]

Honestly...I'm going to name any Alolan Raticates Remy after reading this information...that or 'Ratpitoudie'...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Y'know, I still don't like Zygarde 10

All it's other forms look like worms

But randomly in the middle there is this dog

 

[Wario Bros.]

Something tells me that the photo shooting mode was a response to all the fan demand for another Pokémon Snap.

 

[Chrono.]

That makes sense.

I kinda hope so.

It'd be a shame of Type Null was just a weird one off mon.

They finally found a way to solve... THAT problem?

 

[Ivander]

So to add to the "Ultra Beast" looking very alien-like, I saw somebody point out UB-01 having the same name as UB: "The Ultimate Being" from Parasite Eve.
http://parasiteeve.wikia.com/wiki/Ultimate_Being

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I just thought

With all the synthetic pokemon

What if Porygon gets an "Alolan form"?

Y'know, just by altering it's code to make it different

Here's something interesting.

Destructoid did an interview with the guy who won the "be an extra on The Mask 2" contest on Nintendo Power.
