Be honest. Did you think this was gonna happen?

Before plot points and Cosmog were revealed, there was a lot of speculation after reading UB-01's description about its similarity to Lillie and the lack of classifying Ultra Beasts as Pokemon lead to some wild speculation.

To those who thought that was gonna happen, were you relieved to be wrong? Disappointed?

Share your thoughts.

I heard a anon saying that because Lusamine was obsessed with Ultra Beasts, she made her daughter similar to one (Nihilego), so the connection still exists.

Maybe Lusamine herself also made her appearence similar to Pheromosa purpositally? The long hair looks like Pheromosa's wings.

I really thought UBs were like the humans transformed or some kind of virus shit that took form based on people it saw/knew.

I was hoping for it, and I kept waiting for some deeper explanation to what UBs were. But I guess they're just pokemon basically. I also completely glossed over the other reasons why Lillie and Lusamine look like UBs because I was so obsessed over my theory.
I was a bit disappointed yeah.
>>32546373
Yeah, that's it. The other UBs also don't really look like people, aside from maybe Xurkitree and Guzma, but I think that's a bit of a stretch.

The promos did try to make it sound like they were a 3rd kind seeing how their types weren't disclosed and they specifically said something on the lines of "a threat to humans and Pokemon alike"

The first thing Burnett says before you're even formally introduced to Ultra Beasts in-game is that they're interdimensional Pokemon off the bat, which is kinda funny in hindsight.

I did and found the "plot twist" to be very boring and obvious, so I was pleasently surprised.

I was hoping they were run of the mill Pokémon off the bat - I assumed that Lusamine and Lillie were imitating them. I don't think there was ever a point where I considered it possible that they could BE the UB's. I felt it very possible that they were non-Pokémon monsters, though, which I still do not like the idea of.

I don't believe this even for a second, there was too much holes and questions at the time to believe in something that would become so correct and specific.

I didn't think so, because it would be weird to capture humans and use them in battle.

There was the idea that they were bosses only, but that was retarded because pokemon wouldn't introduce pokemon you can't catch when that's the whole point of the sereis

I didn't expect them to be humans, no, but I am disappointed with them.

They were presented as a big fucking deal in the promos: "A threat to humans and pokemon alike", Zygarde coming to Alola to stop a great evil. But what did they actually do in the game? Fucking nothing, aside from being parts of an hour long postgame fetch quest.

I mean, I believed there was a connection but that they weren't the UB themselves. That kind of only leaves one option, right? I wasn't digging that whole "alien virus that mimmicks people" thing either, so that was the most reasonable assumption. Seems to me anyway.

Have you ever considered the fact that people who thought or were certain it was likely to happen were relieved it didn't?

Imagine the reactive trauma if Lillie actually WAS a tomato in the mirror. More importantly, the idea that Buzzwole or Kartana wouldn't be catchable monsters was worrisome more than it was convenient.

It's called the "principle of least damage", anon. Considering the harmful possibility first and the ideal second help make inconvenient things easier to accept and more rewarding when they don't occur.

In other words, it's not like the possibility of being right about those things, especially without the gift of hindsight was something to be proud about.

Kartana's got the same color scheme as Mohn too, it's worth noting. And Necrozma does Gladion's poses and stuff.

Absolutely not, this is the kind of asspull shit that has no real basis in reality.

>And Necrozma does Gladion's poses and stuff.
Necrozma isn't even a UB. Everybody thought Buzzwole was going to be him, which is retarded as well.

Not really no. Lusamine/Lillie could've been UB's, or just look like UB's. Plenty of options still, that would've been a great leap of logic.
