>>28324951There's a lot of things lorewise that Sun and Moon got going on
Starting with something that no one really touches upon
In the japanese trailer for the Z-Ring reveal, Hala says that the Z-Ring was created by a group calling themselves the Princesses of Pokemon.
We know from Alolan Meowth's description that there was an Alolan Royal Family but the monarchy was eventually destroyed.
Alola doesn't have a Pokemon League, or gyms for that matter, and is arguably the most peaceful Pokemon region we've visited, so what reason would the Princesses of Pokemon have to create the Z-Rings which power up a Pokemon's attack when used alongside Z-Crystals when there was seemingly no sign of a threat?
And how exactly did the monarchy end? And how did the Z-Crystals get in Alola? Mega Rings and Mega Stones were created during and after the Kalos War, 3000 years ago. Maybe Alola had a war and the Z-Rings were made then? But then the question is, who were the people of Alola fighting against?
The Ultra Beasts? Solgaleo and Lunaala, which would explain the creation of Type: Null? Or maybe an even bigger threat that we don't know of?
