WHOOT! New trailer just before the release. Huh? Leaks? What leaks? *cough*
Starter Z-Move: Glad the Starters get a Z-Move :). I don't know, but with stuff like Mega Evolution and now Z-Moves it feels strange when the Starters don't get something additional (though this really only applies to the Kalos Starters except Greninja. Actually Greninja getting something but not Delphox and Chesnaught makes it seem even stranger, why no Serena-Delphox or Clemont-Chesnaught, huh designers? You could even have a Bonnie-Dedenne. Now back on point).
I don't have much to say except they all look great and powerful. Decidueye raining arrows down on the opponent, Incineroar creating a wrestling ring and attacking by jumping by high off the belt, and Primarina creating a water spirit bomb she explodes while singing. I'd say these are provably the first Z-Crystals you'll get though then again maybe they'd wait until at a point of the game where you should have either reached or about to get the Starters final evo.
Ultra Beasts: Had it not been for the leaks this would have been a major video. Not only does it show more Ultra Beasts, but it also shows them battling! And that when you battle them they get an aura just like the Totem Pokemon! The battles also look normal, course who knows what else these creatures from another dimension may have up their sleeve, especially if they're using mechanics similar to the Totem Pokemon (I haven't seen story spoilers so I don't know, I'm hoping there's more than just a straight battle).
Odd CoroCoro didn't give us the number or names of the two Ultra Beasts it showed yet these two did. Are the ones in CoroCoro important, I don't think they said they are?
No description on UB03-Lighting, though it certainly looks odd. And once again, had the leaks not happened people would be freaking out by now how it looks like Guzma (and theories of it having no description probably because anything said about it would be spoilers). I've dropped my theory at this point, especially since the games will be out in a few more days. Related to Guzma or not, we'll be battling it and the other UBs soon enough to know the deal.
holy s***, UB guzma is actually christmas lights
Huh? *Watches video again* Oh, you're right O_o. It's a string of Christmas lights! Huh, like obviously I knew it was meant to be wires and plugs but didn't think it was a specific kind of wire, lol.
UB05-Gluttony (er, where's 4? Are the ones in CoroCoro UB-04? Is there two of them like with 2?) has a description. It eats everything yet creates no waste, possibly converting everything it eats into energy. So essentially its a black hole, alright, that plus its appearance is intimidating enough to make be worried about battling this thing. Though before this info I kind of thought this guy was going to be the boss of the Ultra Beasts or the final Ultra Beast brought over. I mean it could still be, its description doesn't say one way or another.
Alolan Diglett & Dugtrio: Wasn't expecting part Steel-type.
I've been reading some facebook comments and... could Alolan Dugtrio's hair and relation to volcanoes be related to Pele?
The "whiskers" they now are a reference to a material called "Pele's Hair", thin strands of volcanic glass. If you're wondering why its Steel-type, a manufactured version called "mineral wool used for insulation is made by using recycled steel slag.
But why do they have the whiskers? Well living in a volcanic region you kind of need to know what's going on around you do the whiskers are sensitive to vibrations in the ground. And much like a cat's whiskers, they also show Diglett's mood.
Oh, but it gets better, Alolan Dugtrio's glorious locks of whiskers are treated with great admiration in Alola. People even consider it a land deity and bow to it if one appears in front of them. Though they might run soon after as its also believed a batch of them appearing at once is a sign of an eruption (well at least they aren't blamed for it, right Absol?). Anyway cutting the whiskers is forbidden and punishable (though considering how groomed the hair looks I don't thin anyone listens, though the whiskers grow back but slowly), tourists often coming back to return whiskers that they took.
Anyway the hair isn't only for aesthetics, they have a battling purpose. They get a Signature Ability called "Tangling Hair"... which is a Gooey clone, it reduces the Speed of Pokemon who attack it with a contact move. Well with its new Steel-typing maybe it can provide some support, though too bad it needed to lose Arena Trap to do so...
Version Exclusives: On the site they confirmed a whole batch of version exclusives, handy if you're still undecided what version you want.
Sun: Passimian, Alolan Vulpix, Turtonator
Moon: Oranguru, Alolan Sandshrew, Drampa
Passimian/Oranguru we already knew and not surprised the two Ice-type Alolan forms are version exclusive, though I am that Turtonator and Drampa are. I never really say the two as counterparts, though thinking about it they are both Dragon-types.
Another interesting bit of news is that, though you can only evolve Rockruff into one of its form depending what version you have, you may be able to get the other in the Wild! So Moon Players may not be out of luck just yet!... oh, and Sun players I guess can add Midnight Form to their dex or something.
Mysterious Black Prism Titan Pokemon: It says hello.
