Mystery Character in E3 Presentation

[WingsofBliss]

During the playthrough that was shown at E3, there was some dialogue from an unknown and unseen NPC that showed up before and after your battle with Hau:

At first I thought it was that old lady in the first two images, but the last two images shows the camera zoomed out and overlooking the whole crowd. This to me indicates that somebody is watching the battle from a distance. They also refer to Tapu Koko as a "curious little thing", indicating that it's a small Pokémon. If it's a small Pokémon regarded as a "guardian" of the island, I think there's a possibility that it's either a Zygarde Core or an unrevealed new Pokémon. As for the dialogue, I think the person talking might be the leader of the evil team or somebody else that could be doing research on Tapu Koko.

Hmm. I honestly didn't realize that. I think you may be right. I think they are an important character. By the screenshot, it looks like you are in the point of view of the mystery person.

I don't think the camera is necessarily POV. The camera angle is simply overhead, way above the tops of anyone in the crowd. Each line of dialogue is just general crowd chatter, it's been done in a few other scenes in the games (BW's first encounter with Team Plasma, for example). Hoo-ee is also part of the local vernacular, Hau says it too. The four screenshots just depict conversations in the crowd that the protagonist can't hear but you as a spectator can.

It could be the champion.

Interesting to see you point this out. I have no idea what this person's purpose is going to be but it is definitely going to be a setup for the protagonist being recognized as a "chosen one" by the people of Alola.

I see where you're coming from but to me it seems like it could be the dialogue of the audience members. It just doesn't really strike me as someone mysterious talking when the dialogue box and camera angle if focused on a group of bystanders watching the battle.

I thought that was just comments coming from the audience in general. I don't see much here.

I really don't think Pokemon would go to that length to obscure an important character. I mean they flat out told us that Lillie was a mysterious and important character.

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

It probably is just the audience. Though I did get something from reading this, Tapu Koko might be small if it's not only a figure of speech. If so, then I imagine it to be Alola's Mew.

Agreed. Hala is saying Hoo Hee possibly, unless Hau somehow participated in the festival twice which I doubt.

The audience seems to be commenting on the whole thing and the different angles are to show how popular or big the festival is by showing the surrounding area.
