While yes it does debunk the UB=People theory, it still isn't a coincidence that some of them resemble characters. So the alternate dimensional versions of people theory still stands.
oh yeah, totally. i definitely think there could be a case of Evil Twin going on. with Polygon's revelation though that's definitely the best case scenario for any sort of UB = people theory now.

So assuming the three unknown characters in the demo serve the purpose do we now have 8 trial captains? Water, Grass, Fire, Electric, Normal, Ground?, Ghost?, and Flying?

Girl in the purple dress is definitely a captain. she wears the insignia on her hairband. also definitely a ghost type.

Mudsdale-girl is probably a Kahuna. she's has purple accents (which match Hala's yellow for Melemele and Olivia's pink for Akala) and appears to meet you early on on the Purple Island. the ordering of the Oricorios in the Dex leak seems to match that island being purple therefore it fits.

Pelipper-man seems like a key character, but it's hard to determine what. he's wearing blue so that probably means he's not a Kahuna since the last island would be red. he doesn't have a visible insignia either which means he may not be a Captain, of course it could just be obscured. however, all the other Captains seem to be kids or at least young people, so in that regard he would stick out. (maybe he's your dad!)

Well, I was hoping that the Ultra Beasts couldn't be caught, but since they can, I actually hope that they *are* some sort of Pokémon now. It just think it would be very strange to be able to capture non-Pokémon in Poké Balls and then use them to fight actual Pokémon.

If they are Pokémon though, then I seriously wonder what's up with them. They're so delightfully bizarre, but we've seen Pokémon from other dimensions before, and they were never that odd.

One thing I've gotta say about all of these leaks though:

There's currently 7, according to GameXplain's analysis.

I think that'll be it, since previews said there were only 7 captains.

I still think that the build from the demo is an older one and not all the pokemon are in it. Something just seems so incomplete and the fact that they scrubbed everything from the demo and not the sprites just seems fishy. They did this all on purpose. They let us and the media generate all the hype for them and they still have some surprises in store for us. I'm sure there's a few more alolan forms and at least 5 more pokemon left to discover. Just my hunch though

right, so strange they would scrub the whole demo and then start scrub the Pokedex sprites but then stop scrubbing it but then leave in a bunch of core reveals that they'd want to have for themselves (starters3, Tapus, UBs) and a bunch of unrevealed one anyways, all for the sake of more press on the day the demo for their primary moneymaker drops. as been said before, it's a bit too criminal mastermind for the company that can't manage to keep leaks from happening in the first place.

I just have this feeling that there's more to come. We haven't seen everything.

A lot of companies cannot prevent leaks it's just more common for pokemon because of what is it and how much they have to reveal. I have seen leaks for pretty much everything.

sure, but i don't think there's anyone's really arguing that those companies are intentionally leaking stuff for the attention....is there?

Gamefreak aren't that smart.

Scrubbing info from a demo just isn't that easy, I really think they just tried as best as they could and failed. Nothing more, nothing less.

The only thing I could see happening is that the National Dex has new Pokemon in it (only the Regional Dex was leaked), but that's a long shot.

A conversation between Satoshi Tajiri and Ohmori:

- Hello, Mr. Tajiri?

- Hello, what´s up?

- I just wanted to show you these new cratures we created, Their name is Ultra Beasts. We wanted to know your opinion...

- What are they, Shigeru?

- They are... monsters, sir.

- You mean, Pocket Monsters?

- Well, not exactly, sir.

- Expalin yourself.

- Th- they are... well... monsters, but they come from outer space. From an other dimension.

- Ah, I understand. So what do you guys plan to do with those UBs?

- We are going to make them the bad guys of the game. Like, special bosses! And then people will be able to catch them after.

- Catch who?

- The Ultra Beasts, sir.

- But, you said they are not Pokemon. How will you people catch them?

- With Pokeballs, sir.

- So, you are going to make monsters, who are not pocket monsters, but you can capture them in Pokeballs? Doesn´t that essentially make them Pokemon?

- Well, yeah, kinda. Maybe we can call them Pokemon...

- But they don´t look like Pokemon, Shigeru. They look like an entirely different sort of creatures.

- We haven´t really decided what to call them yet, sir. We will give you more information once we have a decision about what to do with them. Have a nice day!




Tajiri: What have they done to my game...

Guys remember when the full alola map was released and on the waters there are boats just cruising, one of them is an odd sail ship the only one. What if that pelliper dude is a Pirate?! D: lol but either way looks like a key character.

Also I find all this odd.. About the datamine, they leave all the sprites and scrub everything else? Since they have a precedence of messing up with the demo, I want to feel like they fked up again. But on the other hand it seems so. Strange.. If it was on purpose I'll be thoroughly surprised.

Also I'm on the side of UBs not being catchable, just my opinion, they probably will be.. still if we able to catch em I won't use em, they're just so weird and unique in a good way and I kind of want them to be the antagonists of the game either main plot or post game. Who knows

@Meta Boss: oh please, Tajiri probably has already smh'd at what the series has done since he retired anyways. he's ridiculously rich and he probably doesn't care. not that we'd ever know i suppose, famously reclusive.

Is the leaks and rumors going to stop now? Or are we going to continue to get more?

The game ain't even out yet and we are already having post x and y era "there is no way this is all they have" type conversations. I say this as someone who is hoping beyond all hope that sun and moon have enough content to put black and white 2 and heart gold soul silver to shame. This datamine has me somewhat(to put it lightly) shook about how much stuff will actually be in the game.

I know I sound like a broken record what with me stuff similar to this in other threads, but I just can't not vent ya know.
