What the? How's the PSS harder to navigate?

There do seem to be multiple Pokemon teams at Game Freak, but I'm not sure how rigid those team structures are. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire started development in November 2012, a year before X and Y were released. However, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire also had the same director as Sun and Moon, and I doubt Sun and Moon only began development after Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were completed.

Sweet, Pokemon would be my only reason to buy a switch but I guess I don't have to anymore 👍.

Can someone explain what the differences are between vanilla and ultra?

I just noticed this, but the Wingull in the trailer seems to be flying in the same direction as the player. The Wingull could be flying in a scripted sequence since it seems to turn right before the trainer does, but could there possibly be a chance of Pokemon following the player in the overworld? I'm sure it's a long shot, though, and I probably shouldn't get my hopes up.

that wingull went ahead from the player so maybe it's just some "follow the wingull" side quest?

More likely not, it seems the Wingull flies way ahead of the player.

And many years before that we've always had a far better copy of each region. It just happens that Pokemon Z never happened and Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire came out. There have been two versions that are better than its original base game. Pokemon Emerald and then AS/OR.
Guess you just had a lot of faith for Game Freak to not return to their upgraded versions of the games they make. It's fine.
I really don't see them implementing these models into other games.It's trivial to make a lower poly version or multiple LOD levels and use the higher poly models in the future.
I get that. Read above for my reasoning about the high poly models and how people think that they are future proofed.
Get that. Just found that part of your post to be irrelevant to what your post was mainly about. I will admit that the screen is underused. I was a big fan of the Poketch. I kind of hope it makes a return. Knowing Game Freak by now... any feature that people like usually doesn't come back.

Yeah. Unless Game Freak wants to surprise us with something.

That's the sort of idea I was thinking of in regards to the Wingull moving in a scripted sequence. However, since it's right by the player's house we don't know if the player has any Pokemon yet in that footage. The player might have to follow the Wingull at the beginning of the game before picking their starter Pokemon. If the player doesn't have any Pokemon yet, it starts to make me wonder if a "Follow the Wingull" sequence could be a hint at Pokemon following the player in this game.
... I really shouldn't be doing this to myself.

Probably not but people have datamined walking/running models for every Pokemon in Sun/Moon, although that may just be for the Pokefinder? Still weird that they'd exist for every single Pokemon, so I feel like a follow feature may have been intended or will be implemented at some point.

I get that. I'm not asking Nintendo to screw over 3DS users by dumping it immediately. As you mentioned, they need to slowly transition to the Switch, not rush into it.
Masuda said they have an alternate story featuring pokemon that didn't appear in the originals.
Which boils down to ¯\_(ツ

There's a chance pokemon following is included, but this is not an example of it. There are already animations for every pokemon walking around (including birds like Wingull).

Not surprised with the 3DS Only decision. Honestly probably prefer it despite wanting a Pokemon game on Switch. I'd rather their first HD Pokemon game be built from the ground up and give us that "generational leap" that X/Y did from B2W2 instead of being an upressed slightly altered Sun/Moon port.

All Pokémon have a walking and running animation already. Check YouTube. So Pokémon following you is definitely something that could happen, since the hard work is already done.
This is where I was always at.
I'd want the first HD mainline pokemon game to be its own thing. Yeah it would have been neat to have a cross platform game too but eh.

I think the regular 3DS would spontaneously combust with that much content in one game, tbh.
But I actually forgot about this feature, just another thing I thought was coming to a Switch version, lol.
Not so much faith, as much as I believed they'd just moved past the idea in the modern, DLC-driven era we live in, lol. I wouldn't be as salty if I'd waited and gotten Ultra Sun instead of Sun, like I got Yellow and Emerald way back when, but that didn't happen, hence the salt.
I know it's not a popular opinion, but I enjoyed Pokémon Moon a lot. I'm super excited for this one and look forward to more trainer moves.
It isn't?
Most people really liked Sun and Moon. I loved it personally.I know it's not a popular opinion, but I enjoyed Pokémon Moon a lot. I'm super excited for this one and look forward to more trainer moves.

Nah, that is from when the prof wants you to meet him at the top of the hill on route 1. Notice the white robed guy at the top of the hill. So you dont even have a mon yet lolI just noticed this, but the Wingull in the trailer seems to be flying in the same direction as the player.

I can respect that. But I actually never felt XY was a real leap in terms of visuals, tbh. ORAS felt way more impressive to me as far as presentation goes, it was the first of the 3DS Pokemon games to actually make me go "wow."
There should be a few changes, I'd expect stuff like all new Trials and different Captains, probably a different Champion, too.
And speaking of Necrozma, has anyone come across any cool speculation or theories recently, I haven't seen anything interesting today which kinda sucks, since the real hype behind SM was all the crazy (sometimes accurate) theories and such. I miss all that.
To be fair in SM they never really clarified wether Necrozma is an Ultra Beast or not.
Well assuming there're trials, maybe those empty lots will get an use now...
Looks like it was right.
I wonder if this is like some forced takeover thing.
Nebby is not to be harmed.

Don't let the hate on gaf fool you, SM was received pretty positively.

If Sun and Moon's reception on gaf counts as hate, what would X and Y's reception count as?
I haven't checked opinions on the game this year, but from what I remember, Sun and Moon were pretty warmly received.

Would we really get a new champion if this is supposed to be an alternate take? I think they'll still emphasize Alola as a growing league.
There's been some implication that it's not an UB.
"Hm? What is this Pokédex data, ...? ...Necrozma. Its black, yet its refracting light... But we havent had any word from HQ about such a UB. It must be simply a rare Pokémon. Still, its quite remarkable, though!"
Pokedex: "Reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts, this life-form, apparently asleep underground, is thought to have come from another world in ancient times."

I'm just thinking about it like BW2, which has a different Champion.
And as for Necrozma, well, Solgaleo and Lunala are both UBs, too, just ancient ones, so maybe Necrozma is one of those?
Also, GameXplain put this vid up just now, Derrick speculates about additional Alolan islands (which makes sense since this is an alternate story):

I remember people asking for Gen VII to retcon the alternate timeline shenanigans in Gen VI out of existence only for Sun and Moon to double down on them, so be careful what you wish for.

wait what no
The UBs was a cool idea, I don't want them gone.
Edit: Might as well add that I like super shonen mega transformations and the alternate timeline nonsense in my pokeyman games.
I need my Mega Mawile so no

haha
id be ok with Z moves and Megas gone
as the franchise continues its just going to get more convoluted and stupid
S/M tries to paint using Megastones as the equivalent of being Hitler though
even some nonsense lore about the mega pokemon murdering its "prey" even tho mega is a trainer+pokemon occurrence
