Going with Sun version for the STAND POWER.
What's that? Wanted to go with Sun too but only because the Pokémon looks cooler.

Ultra Beasts also don't appear in the Pokemon section on the website, even though weirdos like Type: Null do.
Don't say that. You'll make Joe mad.Ultra Beast = Bosses, not actually Pokemon because they're people who turned themselves into monsters.
I personally think they are simply this generation's Trio like we get in every Generation but either way in my case I WILL have the option to use them by force. They're a Pokemon? Cool than a Pokémon EX or Pokémon GX card. Not a Pokemon? Cool a Trainer card will eventually come so I can use it.I hear you, I think my argument mostly stems from the fact that the title 'Ultra Beast' seems important and a differing factor when comparing them to Pokemon.
Sure, looking different is not damming enough evidence. But, especially with how many new ideas this gen seems to be employing, I think they HAVE to be different.
Wouldn't we rather have some crazy boss fights than just another slew of, what are basically, legendary pokemon? GF MUST know we have too many legendaries. I don't think Ultra Beasts are in the cards.
Edit: I think I really am just hoping they're not wannabe legendaries. I don't know. NPC bosses just seems more exciting.
Edit 2: ugh already feeling defeated because the website's verbage makes them sound like pokemon.
Usually a few do but not all. Like we learned that Sun Rockwulf is Sun only and now these UBs. There might be some version exclusive old Pokemon and Alooan forms that aren't revealed prerelease as well.Ooh really?? Hype!
Edit: Question!! Do version exclusives normally get revealed prior to release? I've been leaning towards Moon but Bulgingman is putting up a good..argument
Why's that? I think the UBs are great. If they were legendaries they'd be my favorite set of legendaries in the series.I'm surprised that so many people are disappointed at the prospect of UBs not being catch-able. I thought the fanbase would hate them too much to care.
It definitely seems like UBs are boss fights and won't be usable. Putting them in a separate category on the website is pretty telling.
If they're really just boss fights and not usable Pokemon at all, then I hope they go all the way with making these things actual semi-difficult battles. Have UB-02 Beauty force your Pokemon to become infatuated with it, thus making the battle difficult. I'd be very disappointed if these things were like fighting any other Legendary 'Mon, where they can go down in one hit to your lead Pokemon's best move.
Plus weird gimmicks like forcing all of your Pokemon into an infatuated state.That can be fixed with multiple health bars, or just extremely high defense/HP.
That doesn't mean squad if anything in might be bolstering or highlighting their importance in the story but other than that from appearance and their own description alone they still seem to be Pokemon to me.It definitely seems like UBs are boss fights and won't be usable.

I think it's possible that they might be uncatchable boss fights during the main game and a nerfed version being catchable in the post game
This already sort of happened with the PokeStar Studios didn't it?I think you will have to "purify" UBs or something along those lines to reveal the actual Pokemon. Maybe they can still turn into UBs via a carry item. It just seems weird to introduce a creature that fights Pokemon that actually isn't a Pokemon and is unobtainable in the game.
Show me gameplay and new Pokémon.
Hard to say at this point since Game Freak is flipping alot of franchise conventions on it's head right now and for all we know the Trio might be the the main focus of the story and let's not pretend like Cover Pokemon actually ever did anything significant story wise they have always been used as a means to an end by each generation's evil team excluding Generation I & II (Because Charizard,Blastoise,Lugia and Ho-Oh have zero story involvement).But it means they aren't Pokemon
Or are the Pokemon on the cover not important to the story 😒
But what if they did
Don't say that. You'll make Joe mad.
Tongue firmly in cheek.
im honestly curious Joe, what's your beef with the idea that these might be unplayable non pokemon creatures?

God these trailers are the worst. That same damn music, that grating Pikachu cry at the beginning. Yikes.
Game looks great though.

I just don't see it likely. They wouldn't be hyping them like this, essentially with Pokédex flavour text noless.
I fully expect them to be catchable

I don't see why having flavor text means they have to be capturable, it's just a description of how they act.

UB 01
It all comes together
Na, I don't see a purification thing happening, but that is a good idea.
