This looks like someone made snazzy alt fanart, but no, it's surprisingly official. I'm somewhat surprised that they'd hire one of the few artists floating in the internet for this piece, maybe it seems gamefreak isn't completely drained creatively, or the trailers are the only thing being offered and it's all style no substance we'll see. It's worth a pirate I hope.
I can tell anons are going to sexualize the little alien girl. Sticky sticky.
By the way. A detail I noticed with "UB BURST" is that it doesn't have the "Beast Boost" ability, similar to necrosma. I wonder why that is.

Ultra no thank you Pokemon was shit after gen 2
Jason Thomas
True, it took that god awful ORAS remake to snap me completely out of that Pokémon trance. XY was bad enough, but my dumbass thought there would be a X2/Y2 to fix it.
James King
That's pretty funny because I hated everything after gen 3 and it wasn't until my friends got me into oras that I started playing again. I got burnt out pretty quickly and was very disappointed with Sun
Jason Wright
That's probably exactly it. SM was a slog between story points and cutscenes and the story wasn't that great. They probably won't even fix the whole thing with the protagonist character having the same blank stare in every cutscene. I'm hoping at least the Ultra Space will give us some Distortion World tier shenanigans but that's probably wishful thinking. I severely doubt Game Freak is working too hard on this one when they're probably going to put more dev time into the Switch.
It does, though.
Nobody asked you, faggot.
Dylan Phillips
The games got shinier but they got so fucking slow. The "tutorials" are one thing, but the fights in sun take loading time, run like shit with more than 2 pokemon on the battle field at once and it takes forever until it's over. Not to mention you have to play a pet sim cleaning and feeding your pokemon after every second fight.
Just because technology allows it, doesn't mean it's more fun of a game when you shove all this extra shit into it.
Jonathan Powell
This cash grab will be full priced and people will buy it, right?
Jack Powell
At least we both ended up in the same page. I started Gen 3 with emerald, so it's not a wonder that my standards were high. I'm one of those people that are eternally butthurt about the lack of Battle Frontier and the cocktease they had in ORAS regarding remade isles and events. hooktube.com/1p8nBXLQMPs
Another trailer, also.
Jason Anderson
Unless it has Battle Frontier or a decent post-game battle facility like The Pokémon World Tournament, I'm not even gonna bother pirating it. After Gen 5 none of the mainline games have been worth playing when you can get your battle fix from pokemon showdown for free while cutting out all the training effort.
Samuel Carter
No you don't.
Benjamin Foster
Showdown is full of no skill casuals and smogonfags, though.
Oliver Butler
It does? Oh my dumbass thought the move it used was an ability. It looks like they just fused pain split and present.
Christian Harris
Well they get fucking drenched, dirt covered, paralyzed. You can leave em like that I suppose, but that just sucks in the long run.
Angel Ross
Which is almost exactly the same as the regular online for the official games except they have a fuckload more children than showdown.
Aiden Lewis
The main games aren't much better for online multiplayer. Every battle request is either a flowcharting smogonfag or a kid who thinks having legendary pokemon on his team gives him a guaranteed win. The only fun way to play Pokemon is with people you know.
Brandon Bailey
Except that's false, Showdown definitely has more children on it.
Elijah Morris
This, Gen 5 is the pinnacle of the series whereas Gen 6 and onwards have been in lacking in regards to single player content.
Nolan Davis
Are the recon squad ultrazone pokemon in disguise or are they living suits? But more importantly WHERE'S THE PORN
Christopher Taylor
Find the porn yourself, faggot, we aren't here to serve you.
Cameron Gonzalez
Ultra Beasts look even dumber than mega evolutions.
Zachary Johnson
Now imagine if you fuse moves and berries and create temporary Pokémon. There we go. A perfect idea for gamefreak.
Colton Morgan
...
Gabriel Howard
Why does Lillie have the most fappable doujins since Misty porn was a thing?
Luke Davis
Because she's her mom's daughter
Adrian Ramirez
She better have a penis ha ha just kiddinh
Aaron Green
This.
Caleb Cox
Seems like the alien idea abandoned in XY's development is coming into this with "alternate dimensions". Apart from people with blue fucking skin- christ knows what'll happen now. Each of the UBs having their own dungeon/puzzle might b cool- or it could be a glorified path to them. The fact there's another "human" realm with Ultramegalopolis or whatever is weird. And that Ultra Space isn't just some blighted world like the Distortion World kind of makes it less impressive.
Even with the twilight dog that's sure to be top-tier, I'm gonna wait for reviews and see if a post-game exists. The lack of post-game meant I actually made a competitive team- but fuck not having anything to fight in-game other than the E4 & the director over and over.
Owen Wood
Has anyone else noticed a trend where Pokemon games are starting to feel more linear? It felt like Hoenn and Sinnoh had all this continuous space you can run across with large sections of no load-points
Then the remake of Ruby and Sapphire had load points that weren't even fucking present in the originals. And now SunMo are restricted as fuck to islands full of warp points and what's worse is you can't even surf across them to other islands
And I fucking hate the dedicated transportation Pokemon system. I get it, Gamefreak wanted to kill off HM slaves, but it just doesn't feel like a Pokemon game with that shit. I would rather take my HM slaves, I want MY Pokemon to fly me everywhere, not some random fucking Charizard that I can't even battle with. It's fucking retarded, there's a disconnect from the player there. At least they do give it an explanation in-universe though, in Alola it's illegal to have your Pokemon fly you around (some NPC says this in passing).
Regardless I'll still get this because I fucking hate myself and hope in the back of my mind it will be slightly improved over its predecessors but those are my grievances with current trends
Nathan Edwards
They could have taken it a step further. I.e. as long as a Pokemon in the party can use the move, it can do it outside of battle (once you have the badge). So Charizard doesn't need to know fly, but it can do so once you get the HM and badge.
And yes, the region exploration sucks now. It makes it easier for the devs to make (a squiggly line instead of a place to explore- not to mention wide open spaces look weird now they try to make the environment look realistic).
Carter Wood
I was more put off by the way that characters couldn't turn while moving. It looked weird.
Juan Jones
Fuck, I can't find that image at a higher resolution. I love shit like this.
Gavin James
They've been getting more linear and having less content with each game because Junichi Masuda made it very clear in interviews that the newer games cater to the mobile audience who doesn't have time for a full packed adventure/never explore or do optional content.
Jack Reed
I meant in actual cutscenes, not in-engine stuff.
Gavin Perez
Disgust
David Reyes
I'm guessing it caused lag when implemented. They can't manage 4 different models in battle, so they can't do 2 moving NPCs in the overworld.
Chase Cox
They can barely make the game run at a stable framerate to begin with, you ain't ever gonna get following again until gamefreak learns to program 3D games properly
Wyatt Edwards
Pokemon should have never moved away from sprites
Lucas Foster
What the fuck happened to Pokemon? This shit is Digimon tier retarded.
Matthew Moore
Why would anyone do such a thing, pirating is so fucking easy
Evan Wood
Fuck off, retards.
Hunter Barnes
ITT: Standard for a Pokemon thread like this, I guess.
Zachary Thomas
wtf y
Ian James
GEN 3 WAS THE BEST AND FUCK THE PHYSICAL-SPECIAL SPLIT
Austin Collins
...
Luke Evans
This is a super wrong opinion. There are more interesting interactions created by having it than there are by not having it.
Daniel Taylor
Whoa shit cool corridor
FTFY
Daniel Sanchez
Are you denying that it went full retard at gen 6?
Logan Cox
they could've turned the ultra beasts into proper bosses that disguise themselves as humans and have overpowered abilities BUT THEY DIDN'T they could've made pheramosa be lillie's "mother", and have an ability that auto-attracts all of your pokemon they could've made nihilego be lillie, and have an ability that possesses the first pokemon on your team it sees, adding your pokemon's stats to its stats, letting it use up to 8 different moves they could've made buzzwole be the blonde team skull guy, and have a form where it hasn't sucked any blood and looks weak and frail, and have an ability where it sucks the blood of the pokemon that it hits with physical attacks, giving it an attack and defense boost each time, as well as recovering hp equal to 10% of the damage it deals; leech life would give a second attack and defense boost xurkitree could've been the leader of team skull, and had an ability that instakills electric types upon physical contact, giving it a x2 special attack boost and full healing it, and also that deals 50% recoil damage as electrical to any physical attack that hits it
but no, they probably didn't do it because people would wanna be able to catch those things and fight with them
Hudson Robinson
This is beyond retarded.
Lincoln Scott
I STILL DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS A SEQUEL LIKE BW2 OR A THIRD VERSION SPLIT IN TWO I BOUGHT A 2DS AND SUN MONTHS AGO BUT STILL HAVEN'T PLAYED IT. SHOULD I JUST SELL IT AND GET ULTRA SUN AND PLAY THAT OR WOULD I NEED TO PLAY SUN FIRST?
Or should I do the sensible thing and sell my 2DS and Sun and do something better with the money like buying PC parts?
Hunter Garcia
ub:sticky doesn't look weird enough, in my opinion.
just pirate it.
Jaxson Phillips
It looks like a digimon
Colton Edwards
Gen 6 is pretty much "we want the genwunner audience".
