Lol at people who thought it was going to be the same game.

I was excited by Team Rocket's unexpected returned in Ultra Sun and Moon. I wonder how challenging he'll be with Mewtwo under his control.

Was Giovanni trying to turn his organization into gay one?

Perhaps the "rainbow" in Team Rainbow Rocket is representative of criminal organizations of every generation (minus Gen II)?

I just now noticed Dusk Form Lycanroc is neither Midday nor Midnight Lycanroc. I just kind of brushed it aside when it was announced. Will there be a Morning Form too?

How is this taking it too far? Are there too many new added features and mechanics?

I personally felt Alola was pretty incomplete in Sun and Moon, particularly in the post-game and team-building aspect. (There was almost nothing at Poni Island outside of Seafolk Village and Vast Poni Canyon). I think all these new things address that quite nicely.

Seems right up James's alley, TBH.

I wonder if those Totem Stickers will have other effects besides just making certain Pokémon affected by them larger...

That last video wasn't streamed Tuesday. It's a year old and for the earlier games.

There's also the fact that Alola is associated with rainbow. Sun and Moon codename was rainbow too and Necrozma is the prism pkmn.

I'm assuming their "auras" will flare to life like with other Totem Pokémon?

The last main series Pokémon on traditional handheld seems they're going out with a bang!! They said it was a culmination off all their work I'm definitely getting that vibe.

Feel like the Switch game will be a complete over haul.

Has a Switch Pokémon game been confirmed? I can't find any reliable sources on it.
