Sequels or Remakes?
 
Do you think USUM will be sequels like BW2 were, or Remakes, ala platinum?

Personally I feel It'll be a remake, as there hasn't been one since Platinum, and gamefreak have been micing things up recently

Sirfetch’d June 6th, 2017 6:23 AM

Way too soon to be a remake IMO and since they announced that there will be new Pokemon and we saw new formes, I am highly inclined to believe these are sequels.

Hikamaru June 6th, 2017 6:23 AM

I think they're most likely direct sequels, similar to Black 2 & White 2. A reason I can tell is because of the appearance of what appears to be new player characters, and as we know B/W and B2/W2 had different sets of player characters, so I could see this being the case if US/UM are a direct sequel.

blue June 6th, 2017 6:24 AM

Sequels going by how the trailer went. Looks like there are some fusions going on following the Ultra Beast events from Sun & Moon.

If it's sequels then I expect Ultra Lunala to be in UltraSun to make it similar to Black Kyurem being in Black2 ^_^.

I'm pretty sure he said it's an alternate story? Given the wormholes, maybe it's an alternate reality? Hmm... I'm excited to find out =D

Raffy98 June 6th, 2017 6:27 AM

I'm not sure, in the Direct they said it's gonna be an alternative story so it could be either.

They looked exactly the same to me, just in different clothing. If they were different, then it probably is a sequel. But from what I seen, they are the same. Not to mention, we can choose from like 5 different looks at the start.

I also think it is a remake/enhanced version of Sun and Moon, possibly the version that the Riddler was looking at when he was leaking stuff.

Tsutarja June 6th, 2017 6:31 AM

It's gotta be a sequel. Remember that mysterious Pokémon at the end of Sun and Moon? Lunala's and Solgaleo's appearances in the video seem to resemble that, and all I can just simply think of now is Black Kyurem and White Kyurem from B2W2.

This. Could go either way.

I think we might get an Emerald scenario. I mean, Emerald was an alternate RS whose events happened slightly later in its (alternate) timeline than those that RS did.

CidHazard June 6th, 2017 6:33 AM

Alternate story could mean anything... but It's most likely just Like Emerald or Platinum... Hope we get more story content after the main campaign finishes tho.

Charlie Brown June 6th, 2017 6:36 AM

To me alternate storyline as was mentioned in the Direct implies neither a direct sequel nor a remake - but a different turn of events in the same situation/context/games. So things turning slightly differently at the start for example which completely change the outcome or what ends up happening plot-wise (e.g. more UB involvement as seems to be the case)

Unless, of course, this is an alternate storyline that also includes what happened to Lillie after she traveled to Kanto.

I hope it includes what happened to her after if this is an alternate storyline. I wouldn't mind traveling back to Kanto post game here xD

Sabrewulf238 June 6th, 2017 6:44 AM

I wouldn't really consider it a remake in the typical sense....but it does sound like it might be based in an alternate reality of Alola. Since they said it had an alternate story, which would be a weird choice of words for a sequel.

Alternate realities are already canon though. So I guess something like this was only a matter of time.

Salzorrah June 6th, 2017 6:47 AM

It's neither a remake or a sequel. Remember that Pokemon is set in a multiverse? We're basically playing another universe of Alola, and it ties in with the Ultra Beasts, and this excites me so much.

Sabrewulf238 June 6th, 2017 6:49 AM

I wonder if maybe they wanted to give us time to get used to the Ultra Beasts before they did anything huge with them.

Iceshadow3317 June 6th, 2017 6:51 AM

Well each game has an Alternate Universe in it. Remember to get our own Nebby, we go to an alternative world. This could be the world this game takes place in.

I assumed that was the world of the opposite version. But that could be.

moon June 6th, 2017 6:55 AM

Pretty convinced they'll be sequels. Sure, they like to mix things up and surprise us, but they also have been competing a lot with Yokai watch and such stuff lately, which make sequels afaik? It is cool when things progress in the pokémon world, when characters grow and change.

I thought this as well, but the pokemon don't change. If they did, it could be the other version. But since they don't, it is possible that it is this USUM world. This could have just been something they did so no one could catch all pokemon in a single version, but that would be a good explanation of why we couldn't.

Even if these were third versions, they wouldn't exactly be traditional ones as we got two of them instead of one.

L'Belle June 6th, 2017 7:02 AM

I HOPE sequels.

Lycanthropy June 6th, 2017 7:04 AM

An alternative storyline sounds like something new entirely. Might be something like Platinum compared to Diamond and Pearl but with a few more twists and turns.

KillerTyphlosion June 6th, 2017 7:09 AM

From the way masuda talks about the games, it seem to be like the old 3rd versions. Same world , alternative story. The character shown is even the same character, so no way it's a sequel. Just like the old 3rd versions, new clothes, some small modifications and that's probably it.

This is what I'm expecting.

Hopefully the story includes the Ultra beasts more. I wonder if these could be Solgaleo and Lunala reverting back to their Ultra beast form... Maybe Necrozma was created from something they casted away to adapt to the Pokeworld.
