Bosses, I assume this is GF way of expanding the series for an MMO.

Gives a powerful obstacle for players to overcome but power you cannot wield like other Japanese rpgs.

It's honestly lame and utterly shameful we have entire games hyped up to legendaries and all you have to do is take a pokemon with a better type advantage than it and basically 2 shot it.

No rpg I can think of has such pathetic bosses where even the strongest trainers holds no difficulty unless you're under leveled or they have a gimmick strategy.

If they're bosses with fully fleshed out stats and movesets, I don't see why they wouldn't be catchable.

The only way they won't be catchable is if they implement them differently than regular pokemon (i.e. no stats, over 4 moves, etc.)

There's a decent theory that these three are the UB because of the shared design elements. That would mean they have human forms and Pokemon themselves, so it would odder than normal if you could catch and essentially enslave them.

Theres a different between a form and an illusion. If it turns out the Ultra Beasts actually have human forms, it's a transformation of their physical bodies into humanoid forms, it's not an illusion, it's their actual forms. I'm not paying into this "UBs are the blonde bunch" theory, since I don't pay into theories so I am never wrong, but it's clear Ultra Beasts are not something that will tow to human command.

Metagross and Alakazam are most likely smarter than UB but they still obey you if you catch them.

Yes but Alakazam's brain cells multiply non stop until it dies and is clearly more intelligent than any human and as such should be unable to be caught by a trainer if it has such cognitive thought which is the whole UB argument.

I think Pokemon naturally occur in the Pokemon Universe when a regular plant, animal or man made object is exposed to pokemon life energy. This explains how aliens turn into pokemon when they come to earth. The only beings which aren't subject to this are humans.

The UB's aren't pokemon, but they probably will become pokemon if they remain on earth for a long enough time.
