I have no idea what I just saw

lmao

Type:Null

UB-01

Artificial paradise created by Humans

WHATS HAPPENING

 

[Sandfox]

This game is looking insane.

 

[DNAbro]

...is Type:Null really the name of that pokemon? Really?


Also I love edgelord Team Skull kid.

 

[Kyzer]

POKEMON SNAP CONFIRMED

 

[Belgian Dude]

Lusamine and Gladion are totally related
Also loving that Team Skull continues to be a bunch of dorks <3

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Raticate uses "spits all of the nuts it has hidden in its cheeks"

 

[Aaronrules380]

I have to wonder if the 12 hours apart thing means they no longer run on the internal clock for time

 

[rhandino]

Pokemon Instagram, I cannot deal with this!

 

[Kyzer]

OP please change the title to be something like

Pokemon Sun/Moon: Ultra Beasts, Aether Foundation, Pokemon Snap Revealed

 

[ash_ag]

Oh, hi Snap 2. And I'm glad the Zygarde Cell/Core-collection-around-the-world side-quest was implemented. Made too much sense.

More importantly, Dexio and Sina! Holy cow!

 

[BassForever]

Pokemon Snap 2

In pokemon sun/moon

Game of the forever

 

[ggx2ac]

Pokémon Snap is now a side feature.

 

[Damn Silly]

Mini-Pokemon Snap looks real neat. Hopefully, they make it easy to share photos taken outside the game.

 

[BGBW]

HOLY MOLY AMERICAN RATICATE!

 

[clemenx]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S ANY OF THIS AND I LOVE IT.

 

[yoonshik]

Type: Null

Wat?

 

[FZZ]

SCP in Pokemon brehs

 

[Zyrox]

Type: Null, UB-01 (probably standing for Ultra Beast)...wat. I'm confused but intrigued to learn more.

 

[Some Nobody]

OP please change the title to be something like

Pokemon Sun/Moon: Ultra Beasts, Aether Foundation, Pokemon Snap Revealed

I assume they're not doing that so we don't get "Spoilerz" people in here.

In any case, this game looks fascinating for someone who hasn't really played since Gen 2.

 

[Kurita]

I'm confused and aroused

 

[JimJamJones]

Type: Null

Is this the point where they start running out of ideas?

 

[Linkark07]

Each day I'm getting more hyped for this game.

And lol, Type: Null.

 

[JimPanzer]

I don't get it...is Pokemon Moon only taking place at night?

 

[Nocturnowl]

Yes to snap, ehhhh to the pokemon this time around.
Except Raticate who went from one of my kinda disliked Pokemon to LOOK AT THOSE CHEEKS!

 

[woopWOOP]

Fat Raticate is kind of cute

Gladion's sword arm hungers

That hammerhead thing looks really weird. Some kind of chimera made out of several parts of animals

 

[Torokil]

I really have no idea whats going on in this game anymore. This is either going to be amazing or we're all gonna go "what the fuck was GF thinking". No middle ground with Sun/Moon

edit: oh fuck, Trumpgoose is only a boss in Sun. This... changes things.

 

[Galava]

And the UltraBeast thing? Called UB-01?!

WTF IS HAPPENING

 

[chaobreaker]

 

[Rowlet]

Dat Raticate.

Edit ~

Pokemon Moon confirmed to be the superior version

 

[DNAbro]

Lusamine's design is good. I'm assuming the Aether Foundation is that white floating facility we see on the map.

 

[JazzmanZ]

Type: Null is the ugliest damn thing i've ever seen and i've been loving most pokemon designs

 

[Sou Da]

Sun and Moon is getting experimental as hell and I love it.

 

[Sesha]

Well Lusamine and that other lady probably have a million fans already.

So Moon is set entirely at night, huh? That's a bit unfortunate, but expected, I guess.

And Pokemon Snap has been resurrected. Fancy that.

 

[Diprosalic]

I don't get it...is Pokemon Moon only taking place at night?

no it's just shifted 12h, i think events that happen during daylight in sun happen at night in moon.

 

[Tizoc]

That raticAte tho

 

[matrix-cat]

For a moment there I thought 'Null' was an actual new Pokemon type.

This game looks nuts.

 

[RiggyRob]

Finally, Eldritch horror in a Pokemon game.

It's taken long enough.

 

[AGoodODST]

This will be the first Pokemon game I have played in years. It looks really good!

I don't quite get the 12 hours apart thing though. There is no day/night cycle ?

 

[RedX]

Something tells me the Aether Foundation isn't as good as they present themselves to be.
I feel like they're involved with Type: Null and UB-01

 

[fisheyes]

We are genuinely at a point where I don't know what to expect from a Pokemon game, and that is amazing.

Type: Null? UB-O1? Whats next?

 

[Zoon]

POKEMON SNAP FINALLY HAPPENED
Also, I love this failed experiment pokemon

 

[Phoenixus]

So if Sun and Moon are twelve hours apart, than Moon will be dark during daytime hours and vice versa? That's an interesting direction to take.

 

[P44]

Is this the point where they start running out of ideas?

Programming joke

I love it maggle

 

[Kinsei]

Type: Null looks like a science experiment gone wrong. I like it.

Jangmo-o is adorable! Sorry Drampa but I just you're off the team.

I guess Ultra Beasts will be traditional JRPG boss fights?

 

[CommandThrower]

I'm honestly speechless by this trailer, and not in a good way.

Type: Null and UB-01 are....intriguing, for lack of a better term. They have honestly left me completely at a loss on what to expect in the future.

 

[MuchoMalo]

Pokemon Everything and the Kitchen Sink... but no Pokemon following you, mega evolutions, or Pokemon other than gen 1 able to adapt to their environment.

Is this the point where they start running out of ideas?

They never had ideas.

 

[Diprosalic]

 

[toastyToast]

I thought Alola Ratata looked kind of badass with that groovy mustache but Faticate has to go

 

[L Thammy]

POKEMON SNAP LIVES

Type: Null might be an actual Digimon. Not even complaining.
