I'm not sure if this automatically makes them Pokemon. I think they might go down as a bit of a gray area.

I don't know if I want to use one on my team then. The only one I'm really interested in is UB-01 but I don't like using legendaries on my team....and they seem kinda "legendary".

The "shared secret" with Rockruff and the starter evos was another claim that was lost in translation, but I guess we'll see how it pans out. They do have shiny sprites after all, indicating that they would be catchable.

No. No where did it ever confirm UBs were not pokemon. In fact, there was a hint in a trailer that made it seem like UBs were pokemon. The female leader of Aether Foundation said 'even pokemon from different dimensions' right before UB01 emerged. That alone is a big enough hint that UBs are Pokemon.

The shared secrete with Rockruff was a mistake, but the starters are still supposed to have a secrete that we don't know about, but it just may not be the same as Rockruff.


Why can we have pokemon from space, but not a different dimension? What is the difference between Deoxys and the UBs when, to me, they remind me strongly of one another.

Ultra Beasts are catchable...Yay I guess.

To me the Ultra Beasts seem like Legendary Pokemon and we have a lot of them as it is. Don't think I will put an Ultra Beast on my team as I don't in general use Legendarys but they might be cool to battle anyway.

I guess I always thought Ultra beasts would be catchable but it's cool that they've confirmed it. I probably won't use one on my team seeing as I don't really like the concept of them, but it'll certainly be interesting to see them in-game.

The Ultra BEasts were intentionally made not to look like pokemon according to an interview with Masuda and the other guy who made the game. GameXplain, who were able to interview them, states that they said that no one in Alola know what the Ultra Beasts are.

They are supposed to be a major role in the story and setting.

Same. Although I will probably never use them, as I don't tend to use any type of Legendary Pokemon unless it is part of the story and would make sense, similar to Reshiram/Zekrom in BW.

I am not even bothered by their other worldly look. I mean, just look at Deoxys, who to me, is just as strange as the UBs.

"In the Alola region, rumors are flying about mysterious creatures known as Ultra Beasts. Ultra Beasts possess mighty powers and could pose a threat to humans and Pokémon, so they are feared."

It's kind of directly stated on the SM website that they are a separate entity from Pokémon lol.

Spoiler:
Also the new Poke Ball in the game looks like it's going to be used specifically for the UB, so there's also that. I wonder how we're going to get that Ball in-game, and if it'll be a rare item.
