https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_(classical_element)

According to ancient and medieval science, aether (Greek: αἰθήρ aithēr[1]), also spelled æther or ether, also called quintessence, is the material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere. The concept of aether was used in several theories to explain several natural phenomena, such as the traveling of light and gravity.

Quintessence is the Latinate name of the fifth element used by medieval alchemists for a medium similar or identical to that thought to make up the heavenly bodies.

They're going to have the hot librarian in one game and the ojou in the other, aren't they? I think Game Freak is specifically trying to destroy me.

Gladion seems to have something wrong with his arm, the Japanese trailer makes this even more clear. Was he experimented on?
Yeah, Aether are totally going to be the true villains. I'm guessing the post game will have you find people to replace the Aether admins at the island to be a good organization and then you can battle those people as a pseudo Elite 4.

I think the Ultra Beasts will end up actually being Pokemon with their own names, but that might not come until after the main game.

Gladion and Lusamine are so related.

Same hair color, same eye color.

Gladion is really Spark from Team Instinct who is really Owain from Fire Emblem.

Maybe Type:Null is a failed artificial Zygarde-Type Pokémon... Like some guys tried to combine different Pokémon cells to create a new form, similar to what Zygarde does. So that would be Type:Null 10% Form or something.

Loving the madness and all of the designs. Still not keen on the fire turtle guy but literally everything else is gold. I haven't been this excited for a Pokemon game in a loooooong time.

Lusamine, Faba, Lillie and Gladion are quite obviously related. I think Aether Foundation may have created Type:Null, which would also explain how Gladion has it.

ERROR ALERT ERROR ALERT! I think you'll find that's actually a truncated octahedron. B)

My theory. All blonde hair/green eyed chars are ultra beasts.

There's obviously a hidden cube inside there you just cannot see and will never know >_>

Oh by the way, the chinese riddle leak had Aristotle for the clue. Looks like Type Null is the pokemon for that (Aristotle = aether = null)

Yeah, it's far less difficult. Mega evos, EXP share, inappropriate level scaling considering the above, etc.

exp share can be turned off, mega evo can be avoided, etc.

How does the two games being 12 hours apart work? Is there no real time clock anymore?

I think it's just inverse AM PM for Moon

Yeah, and everyone remembers Pokemon Red and Blue as the most impossibly difficult games of all time because you could choose to play through with only a single Magikarp.

In Moon, if you playing during the day, it's night. If you play at night, it's day. It just flips the system clock. Sun is normal, when you play during the day, it's day. When you play at night, it's night.

I think I'll get Sun over Moon, even though I prefer the Moon legendary. I usually play at night, and I like the setting ingame to match it. Pretty funny that getting Moon would result in me playing mostly during the day ingame, while getting Sun results in me spending most of my time at night.

I'm guessing Gladion was experimented on by (real evil team) Aether and that is why his arm is fucked up. If Skull and Aether aren't working together maybe Gladion managed to escape from Aether and stole Type: Null from them.

According to an interview posted earlier in this thread, or the other thread. The game is still real-time. It's just that Sun perfectly matches our time, while Moon is set 12 hours off. So, if it's 1 PM in the real world, it would be 1 PM in Sun Version, but 1 AM in Moon.

It'll suck if that jellyfish really is that girl and we can't catch it. So far it's one of my favorite designs this gen.

Hmm. This just might end up being the case. Maybe all 3 of them (Lillie, Gladion, and Lusamine) are Ultra Beasts that became curious about this world, and decided to investigate it. Upon arriving, they all took different paths (Lusamine creating the Aether Foundation, Gladion joining Team Skull, and Lillie joining Professor Kukui) for one reason or another.

EDIT: Oh, forgot about Faba, he might be mixed up in all that as well haha

Or maybe not, maybe Lillie is the only jellyfish here :p

Put it this way: this year, I've done a full story replay of Heart Gold, Black, and X in the span of about six months. Heart Gold was noticeably more difficult (especially past the fifth gym) than Black and even Black was noticeably more difficult than X (with Exp share usually turned off and only Mega Blastoise on my team, who was rarely deployed)

This isn't nostalgia

I'm not necessarily asking for it to return to high levels of difficulty, but a BW2-esque hard mode unlocked from the start for those of us who want it would be nice

Everything is super exciting except for the Pokemon Snap mode.

I dunno...it's like I feel it's gonna just run at 20fps with 3D off or something. I need to go watch that JPN trailer.
