>>33378646Would've been so much more interesting if they'd confirmed the fact that some of the Pokémon looked like the human characters for a reason.
They had ALL of the pieces present in the story already.
Could've easily had Ultra Space be an extension of the Interdream Zone and have THAT be the reason Burnet was part of it since studying that is where we saw her first.
If new Formes for existing species could emerge from the zone, why not Pokémon based on the aspirations/fears/etc. or "dreams" of the human characters? All of the Ultra Beats being designed similarly to one of the characters only to have Nihilego to be the only one confirmed with a link (and even that wasn't directly) was a waste.
Unlike *certain* "theories" before S/M released having some of the human characters and the UBs linked in this way could've been a legitimately cool idea.
