>This Ultra Beast is well enough liked to be chosen as a first partner in its own world.
Would GF ever make a Pokemon game that takes place in the Ultra Beast dimension and explores it? Would you play it? Theoretically, it would be a soft reboot of the Pokedex, but with more abstract Pokemon and probably trippier environments.

Stopped reading right there, of course they're not. Ultra beasts are just another gimmick, cool but we all know that if it's not Kanto, it's not sacred to them.

this is what usum should have been. instead, they gave us a hallway and called it "ultra changes."

The only way this would have worked is if they had made Ultra beasts slightly more like actual pokemon with breeding and evolutions, even if they were all very distinct and trippy methods necessary.

I could see it being a fun romp for a spinoff game ala colosseum, since that game isn't too limited by only having so many pokemon. Plus you could introduce a few space-themed pokemon later on like Clefairy, Beldum, Deoxys, etc.

There's still time to add breeding and handwave it by saying the UBs weren't compatible with Pokemon from our dimension, and add baby Pokemon to serve as fodder for evolutions. Obviously a UB-only game should have more UBs than the few we know

They wouldn't even need to change that much and it would be an amazing twist to the basic plot

Yeah, that's probably the simplest way to retcon it. Maybe have it so most Ultra beasts only reproduce in their natural environment.

that's not far off from how i would have made gen 7 if i was in charge.
>sm: you start off as a team skull grunt and work your way up to being one of the highest-ranked members of the team by the end of the game.
>usum: you play as a member of the ultra recon squad during the events of sun/moon, splitting time between ultra space and alola while trying to stop the ultra beast invasion. the final boss fight is against your player character from the first game and his/her final team.

I feel like starting as a Skull grunt might have been too far, but it's one of the few regions where they could let the player join the 'evil' team and not have much issue since Team Skull is just a bunch of thugs rather than any serious threat. Could do a similar thing where the Skull Grunts ask you to do the next trial when they bump into you so they know how to mess it up for the next person.

I think they could have done it in a way that would have mostly required a handful of splits and different dialogue sections, but otherwise would have added a feeling of choice to the game.

Not him, but LG's style would be rather acceptable if it wasn't a rehash of a rehash and was used as a relatively simple artstyle for a spinoff like this.

If you mean the way wild encounters work as well in regards to catching, even that could be used to play up the weirdness

honestly, either way could have been fine. starting out as a skull grunt changes the ultimate goal from winning the league to rising up the ranks of the organization, which in turn forces changes to the formula.
however, they could also start sun/moon off normally, but have guzma approach your character shortly into the game and offer to have them work for team skull as a double agent or something. this is what caligula effect overdose did with the ostinato musician route, and it added a lot to the game.
regardless, gen 7 had so much potential to dramatically change pokemon's formula while still staying true to its roots. and it wasted all that potential because ohmori needed to shill lillie and KANTOOOOO instead. it sucks thinking of what could have been.

Yeah, the other benefit to having these sorts of side routes or different perspectives is that your character would probably run into Lillie less, but you would probably still learn about her through brief interactions and run-ins with Lusamine or Gladion. That actually might make her character slightly more compelling if she's an actual mystery instead of it being in an opening cutscene, and she'd get less grating if she's not following you every step of the way and off doing her own thing instead.

we'd also get to see more of guzma, which is nice since he's by far the best character of gen 7, and plumeria would get more of a chance to shine too.

I would say if for some reason they expand on the Ultra Beast stories in Galar then maybe in the future.

For now there's a 50/50 chance I would say of them being left behind.

Also, I would love a spin-off or post-game bringing more ultra beasts in.

I loved working with Looker and Anabel as a secret agent. By far fighting ultra beasts was some of the most fun I had playing S/M.They really could make a good spin-off involving the ultra beasts and Looker, Anabel and even Nanu.

that shouldn't be too bad either. they can just get abilities the 'normal' pokemon get, rename them if you have to. beast boost could similarly be handwaved as replacing their natural state by bathing in the condensed ultra energy of the wormhole. I'd imagine shit like poipole would just get poison point or corrosion if you want to make it a bit more op since it's a very hit or miss beast. buzzwole gets iron fist, stakataka gets solid rock/filter, shit like that. they know the same moves, after all, so there's no reason to think they should have utterly brand new abilities.

at least, that's one way to cut those corners, so to speak.

Yeah, I think normal abilities would fit them well enough with that sort of explanantion. The main difficulty where it would come in is balancing. Corrosion for example would be very good and fitting for an extra-dimensional poison type that might behave weirdly, but it also might be a little too good on it. Similar case with Stakataka cutting down it's bigger weaknesses with Solid Rock.

Granted, compared to Beast Boost the main change would be making their power more frontloaded rather than relying on KOs, but that's probably better for a lot of them.

the starters do tend to get some pretty strong hidden abilities. HA poipole could have corrosion, others get poison point. solid rock may be too strong on sir stack of attack considering the sizable bulk of its passable special defense, and without beast boost, people would invest in it. it'd be one of the strongest walls the game has seen, despite the bad defensive typing. battle armor would probably suffice, or something even more niche. it could be the first serviceable user of analytic as a HA, which kind of puts it at immediately stronger than beast boost, but weaker after like two KOs. it also kind of fits the flavor, with the thing often plopping in place as a square box, and just flipping open eyeholes from time to time like the set of alien unown that it is.

Analytic does seem like a pretty good fit for Stakataka, especially since it opens up a different playstyle less reliant on Trick room. Still, I suppose that overall there wouldn't be too much to worry about.
