>>39384859I never though they could turn into them. They'd never do that.
Although I guess maybe I shouldn't say that - 2 months ago I was saying the same of cutting Pokémon so... Yeah.
Regardless though, I would never would expect them to do that so my thoughts were that the Ultra Beasts were an Interdream Zone version of those people.
In a recap they randomly showed Burnet when she wasn't shown at all previously which made me think it was a hint.
Pokémon have Interdream Zone formes, so why not humans? Humans have dreams too, after all.
Would've been cool to explore a more psychological story like that but gotta rush a beta for an anniversary no one specifically wanted a game for.
I still feel like it was intended, it just got cut for the easier alien story. Aliens are much easier to gloss over explanation for than the psychology of a person after all.
>>39384930Not really, especially if you consider my hypothesis above.
On the surface, ones like Gladion and Buzzwole seem odd until you pay attention to how Gladion's acting. Like he's got some weird power trapped in his hand... And then you have the similarly colored and buff as hell Buzzwole...?
And you have the fat Hala who deals with sump which tends to have very strict eating as part of their training and the fat, ever eating Guzzlord...
Pheromosa is obsessed with cleanliness and lives surrounded by beauty not unlike Lusamine wishes to.
Nihilego is a parasite who lives off others and Lillie is dependent upon everyone else.
Guzma wanted to be top do and Xurkitree deals with electrictiy AKA power.
When you pay attention to how the character and the UB act, as well as what they look like it starts to be a lot more obvious that they dropped a storyline to rush them out.
