  1. Was gonna post this in the other article, but it may be more relevant here anyway So one thing that’s really got me scratching my head are what we’ve seen as far as merchandise and their relation with the rumors we’ve gotten. So far some of the rumors are looking more and more real. With the Riddler showing back up and and the USUM wishlist starting to show it’s authenticity I can’t help but wonder. How have we not seen any merch leaks of new Alolan form? If they really are coming then you’d think they’d have been on some kind of merch. even looking at the future tcg lists it seems like there isn’t anything new from them. Granted they haven’t even shown the new UBs in any future tcg leaks, but even still. Plus we just got this new flier with the version exclusives. It seems so odd that if there were any new ones in the games that they’d not have them on anything at all. I still think the Riddler and the USUM wishlist are legit (Riddler has proven himself at least) but I’m just not sure what to think

    • Well I am just using a stray example here in my argument, but I think it might hold for the case on Alola forms. The merchandise that confirms that Mimikyu gets a Z-move was leaked, now after it being leaked there has been no mention by the Pokémon company on the new Z-move. They will officially reveal the merchandise later to the public. However, keep in mind that the reveal for that is also winding down with less than a month till release of the games. The new Alolan form merchandise is probably under wraps. Even though this is a definite concern, I am not all too worried and I am steadfast in my belief that we will get our Alolan forms.

    • I mean… Was that to be expected? We’ve known for a while now the Ice Alolans stayed in their versions and they’re just enhanced versions of SuMo, not even BW2 swapped exclusives besides the Tao Trio

  2. Well I can somewhat plan my team now for ultra sun.
    Incineroar
    Passimian
    Ribombee
    So far my team consists of two Pokémon I wanted to use but haven’t yet and my starter. Other members will depend on who else is added to the dex

  3. This time around I’m gonna have a harder time getting the version exclusive UBs I think. Last time ti was easy as they gave us a crap ton of a couple of the UBs to trade over global link, but I can’t see us getting more than one of Burst and Assembly.

  4. Eh, nothing new iirc? We already knew some of these were exclusive and the rest are just SuMo exclusives that have carried over

    Reply
  5. But, are all these all of them? I mean, the Dex looks like it got expanded so I was kinda expecting for new version exclusives to appear :T

    • I think you’re the only person I’ve ever seen disappointed over less version exclusives XD

      And I don’t think they’re the only version exclusives, they’re just the only exclusives already explicitly stated to be in the game already

      • I like version exclusives, it gives each different version somewhat of a more unique vibe.

        But now I’m starting to think that these are all of them because Manetric and Houndoom are in it now

  6. Still don’t know what version to get.

    I’m for sure only getting one but I’m really unsure. I did play Moon version and I really prefer Lunala and Pheramosa but I also want Alolan Vulpix.

    I guess I could breed for a shiny Vulpix egg and trade that over. Idk fam

    Reply
    • Ooh don’t make the same mistake I could’ve

      Something something shitty game mechanics the egg won’t be shiny if you trade it

      Reply
        • That won’t work either, boosted EXP is from having a trainer ID, not from the process of trading itself :s

          I’m gonna be totally honest, you’ve already gotten Phero and Lunala from Moon + you’d probs never use them on an in game team, so I’d make your decision on normal version exclusive Pokémon or other exclusives like clothes (ew) or time

      • Trainer Shiny Value and Egg Shiny Value, ESV must match TSV to hatch shiny, TSV is different each save file, ESV is different each egg.

  7. my only hope is that the UBs are multiples, i really don’t want Komburstion and just want my own Cellblox
    I don’t plan on playing my Ultra Moon for a while

    • This could not be the final lists, just the ones that’ve been revealed so far. Of course most of these were expected anyway.

  8. So PJ gave me a incentive to research into Drampa
    so this Amber Alert apparently can learn steel wing (i knew off hand that it could learn Fly naturally)

    and despite its appearance it learns a crapton of diverse moves and a solid 135 special attack isn’t something to scoff at

  9. Looks like I’ll be using a Bastiodon! Ultra Sun obviously has the better exclusives (in my opinion), but that will just make my second USUM playthrough even better.

  10. Do any of you have any ‘canon starters’ for each protag/rival? A bit off topic but still Pokémon, just because I’ll forget to ask when I’m were in offtopic hell

    Reply
    • Imo, Bianca with Tepig and Cheren with Snivy fits very well.

      And also Silver with the fire starter, Hau with Prima, Hugh with Samurott and the DP rival with the fire Monkey

      I’m not remembering a lot of names today XD

  11. Just want to point out that Gamefreak has been spoiling us a lot with mini-info drops since the Mimikyu Z-move leaks. We have had three days since this Saturday with new details of the game being leaked/confirmed. Today alone there was two (three of you live in Japan…PJ) notable mini-info drops. Thus I find it very unlikely that we will get a trailer with new content this weekend. The next trailer will probably come the earliest next weekend.

    Reply
    • Yeah we’ve been getting little tidbits quite a bit this past wee. Which is why I was surprised by people saying they expected another trailer this week. I think they’ll wait another week or so and then blast us with another big one just as the month draws to an end. Then in November we’ll get a wrap up trailer right before the games launch.

  12. Hmm anyone seen the new Nintendo UK interview on youtube about USUM. Doesn’t reveal much and not really the greatest thing you’ll see was hoping for moree hints and teasing
