18. A rumour that you think/hope is true
Ryuki actually having a major role in the game, I guess? I want to see more of his character considering how we didn't know much about him in S/M. |
18. A rumour that you think/hope is true
Following pokemon returning |
18. A rumour that you think/hope is true
The return of Pokémon Gyms. |
17. A Pokemon that you would like to see get its own Z-Move
Johto Starters. if they don't get Alola forms which I doubt they will. 18. A rumour that you think/hope is true None at the moment |
18. A rumour that you think/hope is true
I'd say Pokémon Gyms. |
18. A rumour that you think/hope is true
None. I prefer official news from game freak. |
18. A rumour that you think/hope is true?
Some Alolan Pokemon getting new forms. Mainly to improve their viability in battle competitively. Since Lycanroc, Solgaleo, and Lunala have new forms as of now, I am eager to see what else the games have in store with new forms for existing Pokemon, Legendary or not. |
18. A rumour that you think/hope is true?
Following pokemon! |
18. A rumour that you think/hope is true
Gyms returning. |
18. A rumour that you think/hope is true
Gyms. Though they are seeming less and less likely :/ |
19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM
Mimikyu |
19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM
I don't know. A lot of them had unconventional types given what seemed logical(ie. Crabrawler). I'm assuming at least a few will show off their "logical" forms in USUM. |
19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM
I'd probably pick Comfey, and actually make it a Grass-type. |

19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM
Mimikyu, I suppose. |
19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM
How about an Ice Oricorio form? |
18. A rumour that you think/hope is true
Another Mythic Pokemon and the missing Hawaiian Island being in the game. 19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM To be honest, I don't really care for forms of normal pokemon. I would rather it be a new pokemon. Since Lycanroc got a Dusk form, it would be nice to have a Dawn form that was purple or blue with yellow eyes. If the last Hawaiian Island is used, I wouldn't mind seeing another Oricorio. Maybe an Ice/Flying. |
18. A rumour that you think/hope is true
There aren't any rumours I'm aware of that I think are true. As a result, I don't have much hope of any being true. Gyms, new alolan forms and following pokémon would be nice, but I think all won't happen. 19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM I'd rather see alternate evolutions for some pokémon like Crabrawler and Salandit. Almost every Alolan pokémon doesn't seem to need a new form, so I guess I'll say the Tapus because I saw some cool fanart for them the other day. Spoiler:

19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM?
Kommo-o. Although very unlikely right now due to it getting a new Z-Move of it's own. Kommo-o deserves an alternative form that allows it to go all out offensively, while having a tolerable Speed stat to sweep. The point of a Pseudo-Legendary is to have raw power and be a formidable foe to take down. |
19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM?
Kommo-o. Love this pokemon and i think it deserves a form. |
Quote:
19. Necrozma. A lot of fans are speculating that Necrozma will get a new form in this game, so I'm hoping for that, too. :3 Oh, and maybe the Tapus could have "beast" forms? For example, Bulu could have a bull form, Fini could have a fish form, and etc. |
19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM?
I think the Tapu's would be interesting. 20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both? Personally I prefer Gyms, though a mixture of the two is also interesting. |
20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?
I would prefer Gyms, but I think it's very likely that the Trials are staying. I felt Trials were poorly executed in S/M, so hopefully they'll improve in US/UM. |
20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?
I'd prefer a mixture of both, preferably if they're actually challenging. Some of the trials in S&M were a joke. =/ |
20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?
Definitely both. While the trials fit in with the climate of Alola, having Gyms alongside them would be even better. |
20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?
Both for sure. I'm happy to see Trials given another run though, it's still a nice change. |
20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?
A combination of both to emphasise the power and scale of responsibility of both the Totem and the Trial Captain. The Gym aspect includes puzzles to access the boss, and fighting the captain immediately afterwards. This makes Z-Crystals an ever bigger challenge, but valuable long term award to earn. |
20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?
I'd love both. Trials before the gyms, and then the gyms as the true tests. |
20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?
Both. Trials for the main game, gyms in the post-game. |

19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM?
Nah, Alola pokemon are already powerful and popular 20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both? Don't care tbh, trials are like gyms in some ways |
21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story.
It will be interesting no doubt. I just hope that it's a complete different take, à la Black 2 & White 2. I will be very disappointed if it's more akin to Yellow/Crystal/Emerald/Platinum where the story is the same with only a few minor differences. Even a few major differences would be disappointing if the main story was more or less a carbon copy of the originals. |
20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?
There is no doubt that I love Gyms more. And trials are ok, but they are boring. I'd like a mix of both, but I wish each trial actually had a battle after. So for example: After doing, Lana's, Mallow's, and Kiawe's trials on Akala, we would have to battle them before we take on the Totem Pokemon. 21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story. I hope it is different, but I don't want them to ruin the character's personalities. Lillie acting like Gladion and Gladion acting like Lillie just doesn't make sense to me and I think it would end up making the story worse. |
21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story.
Same reasons as Alakazam. I want the story to be notably different like B2/W2 and not a minor difference like Emerald and Platinum. And like IcyIce said, I don't want the characters we know and love to done a complete 180 on us. |
21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story
Whatever it is, I hope there is less hand holding. Every two routes there's another story beat taking 5 minutes. |
21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story?
1. Put some focus on characters who were quite underused in SM's story. (Kahili, Mina, Ryuki, just to name a few.) 2. As EvilChameleon established; less hand holding would be far more welcoming. 3. At least allow the player to save the game after beating the Champion, for instance. 4. Make the story have enough differences in it's structure and format to justify the purchase. |
21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story
Hmm, I really want to see a plot in which the guardian deities have a more important role. Everyone talked about them but they almost didn't intervine in the plot ( with Tapu Koko being an exception, but still...). I would also love to see more Ultra Beasts causing chaos or at least taking a role as well.... not just being part of a post-game hide&seek game. I felt disappointed with the fact that basically Nihilego was the only UB participating in a great part of the plot. I want to see a nice story for the (other) UB's. Something more in-depth about their strengths and weaknesses, and also how they affect their sorroundings, etc... Idk if I explained myself well xD |
21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story
A storyline that involves the Aether Foundation once again which hopefully includes Colress and Lusamine. |
21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story
I REALLY liked the story in Sun and Moon, so my only hope is that they cut down on some of the cutscenes. |
21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story
Don't change the characters. Adding more backstory is fine, but don't change them. They're all likeable for a reason. |

1. Your current level of interest in/excitement for the games!
- I still remember I was superbly excited about having a new Pokemon game! (It's always been this way, even my hated Unova.) 2. A Pokemon you hope is in the USUM regional dex - I don't have a specific Pokemon but I'd say Ditto for easy breeding, though you can already transfer them from your Sun/ Moon since Pokebank has been opened for so long... And Scyther for a reason below. 3. A Pokemon you would like to see get an Alola form - Johto Pokemon need to get more loves. 4. Will you play as a boy or a girl? - Boy, as usual. 5. A character from SM that you hope returns/gets an expanded role - Lillie, Lusamine, and Gladion (Duh!). 6. A character from a past gen game you would like to see return - Riley and Lance. I love them. 7. A rumour that you think/hope is false - Fusion outside of Lunala/ Solgaleo and Necrozma I guess. It'll get too complicated. 8. A Legendary/Mythical Pokemon that you'd like to see in USUM - The Time and Space Master and the owner of the Distortion World. 9. A Pokemon you would like to see made into a Pokeride - Scyther for Cut? 10. Your initial reaction to USUM's announcement - WOW. YAY!!! 11. An item of clothing you would like to see added to the games - Jacket sounds impossible since the climate is warm and humid; But I'd say raincoats for the rainy areas! You don them on right away. 12. Which starter will you choose? - I'd probably try Popplio this time if they allow soft resetting without repeating the whole front story like in Sun/ Moon. Yes I judge gender and yes I want a female Popplio. Or else it'd be Rowlet, again. 13. A feature from SM you hope is expanded upon/changed - Festival Plaza need to change back to the old one in X and Y. It's just so frustrating. 14. A Pokemon that you would make into a Totem - Alolan Ninetales. Ice trial please. 15. Your planned team for your playthrough - Primarina/ Decidueye, Dusk Lycanroc are the only 2 (3) confirmed ones for now. 16. A feature from a past game you'd like to see added - VS. Seeker perhaps, and Pokemon following you. 17. A Pokemon that you would like to see get its own Z-Move - Alolan Ninetales because I am biased. 18. A rumour that you think/hope is true - 4th Lycanroc form. 19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM - A 4th form Lycanroc would be nifty. 20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both? - I'd love both, double the fun and challenge! 21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story - I hope it'll be an sequel to Sun and Moon. 22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM? - Much more harder would be good. Help that we can transfer Pokemon over for the new game now, so we aren't limited much anymore this time round. 23. Your ideal postgame - More characters from the past you can fight with/ you battling the people you've met on certain days like in HGSS. 24. Your most wanted thing for USUM - More Alolan varients. 25. Your least wanted thing for USUM - Festival Plaza. 26. A music track from SM you'd like remixed for USUM - I always switch the game mute sorrynotsorry. 27. Which version will you buy? - As always, the blue side so Ultra Moon. Already preordered! 28. What would you like to see released after USUM? - SINNOH REMAKE. 29. Your thoughts on the latest news? - Loving everything thus far! 30. One month later...your new current level of interest in/excitement for the games! - Still anticipating! We are less than 3 months to the game! |
17. A Pokemon that you would like to see get its own Z-Move: Flygon, to make up for its lack of Mega Evolution in Gen VI
18. A rumour that you think/hope is true: none yet; the Mimikyu one was false. 19. An Alolan Pokemon you'd give a new form in USUM: Possibly Crabominable to make it more suited for environments elsewhere. 20. Would you prefer Gyms, Trials, or a mixture of both?: Mix of both 21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story: More postgame content, including something close to the PWT or the Battle Frontier |
22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM?
I don't care it will always be easy now that I know and have played the game for almost 20 years. There is no making it harder. And I don't won't a game that is going to make me rage quit. I think BW was the perfect difficulty. They need to keep the EXP Share as well, as it makes it easier to train pokemon. Maybe make it come later in the game. |
22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM?
Harder. Always harder. The games are getting too easy. |
22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM?
S/M already had difficulty to it with opponents that had crazy strategies and my Pokemon often getting killed. So, I'd say keep US/UM at the same difficulty. |
22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM?
Harder, but more focusing on the regular trainers and some of the boss battles. While the difficulty is fine in SM, most of the trainers have 1-2 Pokémon at most which feels ridiculous by the time you reach the 3rd/4th island. |
22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM?
Equally as hard in difficulty when confronting important characters, like the evil team Leader, the Elite Four, and/or the Champion. However, I would like the E4 and Champion's teams to range in their mid to late 70s to make level grinding much easier. I'd also include an optional bonus boss who uses Chansey, Blissey, and Mega Audino to make those extra EXP a bigger award to earn, assuming they won't let us use Blissey Bases, like last time in ORAS. |
22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM?
Hmm. I think it should be the same. Some of the Totem Pokemon were pretty challenging, especially since the support Pokemon they called in were good counters. |
21. Your hopes/expectations/ideas for USUM's story
Pretty much the same as most have already said here. 22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM? Maybe I can choose the difficulty :) |

22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM?
Well, I fell behind. I think the difficulty is fine for the most part. Though I agree an option for those looking for harder challenge should be available a la BW2. |
23. Your ideal postgame
A second region, but that's out of the question. Ideally I'd like something like the Battle Resort from Platinum or the Battle Frontier from Emerald. |
23. Your ideal postgame.
Oh, you've gone and done it now, asking for "ideal" instead of "realistic". The bait has been taken. =P My ideal postgame would include an entirely new subregion(similar to the east side of Isshu in Gen V or the southern part of Kalos in Gen 5 that I built up in my imagination during the main quest only to be severely disappointed with at the end :( ), in addition every other past region which can be visited à la Gen II style. It would include a complete National Pokédex, a Battle Frontier, a Pokémon Ranch(like the WiiWare game but of course better), the return of the Pokémon World Tounament(even if I can already battle everyone in their native regions ;) ), a slew of legendaries that actually tie into the story(rather than the clusterfudge that was in ORAS), and an insane amount of side quests. tl:dr version: we'll never be satisfied because we always expect too much. =P |
23. Your ideal postgame.
I'd definitely have some catchable legendaries from previous generations, considering that's been a common trend for third versions/sequels/remakes (which US/UM easily falls into the category of) and I'd also include more high-level Pokemon to grind against so that we don't have to rely on the Elite Four rematches constantly. |
23. Your ideal postgame
Nice, long post-game story. New/extra region/areas to explore. Many Pokémon to catch (at least 80% of National Dex I'd say). Fun features like Battle Frontier. |
23. Your ideal postgame?
1. A good amount of side quests. 2. The ability to catch a good portion of the National Dex once the story is completed. 3. A sufficient amount of Trainers you can fight on a daily basis to grind for EXP. 4. New areas worth exploring, be it a newer section of already established areas or somewhere entirely different we haven't been to before. 5. Catching Legendaries and maybe a Mythical that would have a place in Alola. |
23. Your ideal postgame
A Battle Frontier. Hell, I'd even accept another Pokemon World Tournament. Send the 3DS era out with a bang, |
23. Your ideal postgame
I would love the battle frontier. |
22. Would you like USUM to be easier or harder than SM?: There's a huge level spike in wild Pokemon between Route 17 and Poni Island. Before that, the difficulty curve is rather reasonable, so I'd want US/UM to have roughly the same difficulty.
23. Your ideal postgame: Battle Frontier/PWT should make a comeback. |
24. Your most wanted thing for USUM
Pokemon walking behind the player would be fantastic. |
24. Your most wanted thing for USUM
The player character showing more emotion, please. I was creeped out a lot by that blank stare when I was playing S/M. |
24. Your most wanted thing for USUM
Pokémon walking behind me, I'd say. |
24. Your most wanted thing for USUM
Like I've said before, gyms. |
24. Your most wanted thing for USUM
Gyms. Above all else this is still the one thing I'm hoping to see in USM. |
24. Your most wanted thing for USUM?
Move Tutors. Always handy to have when it comes to improving some Pokémon competitively. I'd definitely love Kommo-o to get access to more Fighting Type moves this way, such as Drain Punch, Superpower, and Low Kick. |
24. Your most wanted thing for USUM
To avoid sounding like a broken record with the Battle Frontier thing, how about even more choices in Route 1 Pokemon? |
23. Your ideal postgame
Enough to do. More story. Something worth while. I loved BW2 post game. You had the tournament. You had the Battle Sub. There was places to train. There was always something to do. You could battle your way through the White Forest or Black City to get a shiny pokemon. You could go to old areas that gave ever more content. In other words, something like BW and BW2 post game is perfect. 24. Your most wanted thing for USUM PSS, make shiny pokemon easy again, DexNav, old fishing. I would love new pokemon or new alolans forms. 25. Your least wanted thing for USUM Current fishing. Festive place. Anything that was a new style of doing something that changed too drastically. |
25. Your least wanted thing for USUM
I'd probably go with one everyone wants. The Festival Plaza. |
25. Your least wanted thing for USUM
-Rotomdex -Trials. They were a completely unnecessary change. Gyms were so much more fun and satisfying. |
25. Your least wanted thing for USUM?
Prolonged cutscenes. While I do like SM's story and Lillie, the cutscene that played after defeating the Champion was needlessly long, which lasted almost one hour, which is insane. It doesn't help that the game gives you no opportunity to save before and after a potentially difficult boss fight. That would need a serious overhaul and I hope, at the very least, the game allows you to save as soon as the Champion is defeated. |
25. Your least wanted thing for USUM
Support Pokemon to be limited to either trial sites, or wild battles, not both. |
25. Your least wanted thing for USUM?
Excessive Hand holding. It's fine at the beginning but towards the end I'd prefer it if they cut it back. |
25. Your least wanted thing for USUM
Lack of post-game. |
25. Your least wanted thing for USUM?
Jigglypuff |
25. Your least wanted thing for USUM?
LONG cut scenes, with no option to skip it |
26. A music track from SM you'd like remixed for USUM
The end credits theme. This track has been going downhill since its peak at DPP/HGSS :) |
26. A music track from SM you'd like remixed for USUM
The Red/Blue battle theme. It's my favorite song from pokemon, and if they could make it better that would be insane. I just don't want them to ruin it :/ |
26. A music track from SM you'd like remixed for USUM
I'd probably go with the Kahuna theme. It was already epic in S/M, but I think it should become even more epic in US/UM. |
26. A music track from SM you'd like remixed for USUM
The ride theme because it can't get any worse, can it? {XD} |
26. A music track from SM you'd like remixed for USUM
The entire OST in a 8-bit remix, maybe? (post-game content when you achieve something) |
26. A music track from SM you'd like remixed for USUM
Guzma's theme because I know they could make that even better with a remix. |
26. A music track from SM you'd like remixed for USUM
I don't really have any themes or know enough of them to actually answer this. Most of my favorite songs came from Hoenn and Sinnoh games. |
26. A music track from SM you'd like remixed for USUM
The Guardian Deity theme. It's the only one that immediately came to mind to me as being awesome. I seriously have to replay Sun and Moon soon. xD |
26. A music track from SM you'd like remixed for USUM?
The common background music in Poni Island. (The one that plays in Exeggutor Island and Poni Meadow, for instance.) It is a beautiful track that I hope gets equally as good, if not, better next time. |
Whoops, I missed a lot. Time to catch up:
Spoiler:
26. A music track from SM you'd like remixed for USUM Because it's good or because it's bad? Because it's good, Trainer Battle; because it's bad, Poké Ride or the Ula'Ula route theme. |
26. A music track from SM you'd like remixed for USUM
Well, the battle music, obviously. |
Quote:
24. ...more post-game content? 25. ...less post-game content? 26. I honestly don't care if they remix some of the music or not. :3 |
27. Which version will you buy?
Pre-ordered Ultra Sun yesterday :) |
27. Which version will you buy?
If you're assuming I'm picking one, I'd say Ultra Moon. |
24. Your most wanted thing for USUM: Move tutors to make a comeback.
25. Your least wanted thing for USUM: Long cutscenes. The ones in S/M were fine, but they were a bit too long. 26. A music track from SM you'd like remixed for USUM: Zinnia's theme. I'd like her to reappear in US/UM because there may be some things we still don't know about her. 27. Which version will you buy?: Decide one on a coin flip, then get the other eventually. |
27. Which version will you buy?
Ultra Sun. It would pair nicely with Moon. |
27. Which version will you buy?
I'm buying the steelbook edition that comes with both games. |
27. Which version will you buy?
I'll get both if I have the money. As for which I'll start with...maybe Ultra Moon. |
27. Which version will you buy?
Ultra sun first, UM later. |
27. Which version will you buy?
I'll just go with the opposite version this time, which means I'll be picking up Ultra Sun. |
28. What would you like to see released after USUM?
DPP Remakes :) |
28. What would you like to see released after USUM?
New Mystery Dungeon game. |
28. What would you like to see released after USUM?
Since these will likely be the final main games of 7th Gen, I'd probably go with 8th Gen or some type of spinoff. |
