Trivia / Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

• Author's Saving Throw: Junichi Masuda has stated that one of the reasons that the mid-October 2017 interview, which revealed things like the ability to find legendaries through Ultra Warp Ride and an extensive postgame plot, was released because Game Freak noticed the lukewarm reception that the games were getting prior to their release.
• Dummied Out:
  • Like Pokémon Sun and Moon, walking and running animations exist for the new Pokémon and transformations, despite going completely unused. Ultra Necrozma also has a few unused animations, such as a different animation when using a physical/contact move and when walking and running around in the overworld, as seen here. Ultra Necrozma also has an animation when hitting an opponent super effectively with max affection, which, while it cannot be seen normally, it can be seen if a Zorua/Zoroark hits a super effective move with max affection while disguised as Ultra Necrozma.
  • Despite still not being officially available anywhere, AZ's Eternal Flower Floette has its own Pokédex entry.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Looking at Necrozma's concept art◊, it appears Ultra Necrozma was supposed to look slightly different, as the wings and legs as depicted in yellow don't match up to the final version's. Most notably, what is labeled a tail is instead Ultra Necrozma's chest.
  • Originally, the previous Big Bads only appeared as opponents in the Battle Agency. The scenario writer believed they could write a story around them, however, resulting in the creation of Team Rainbow Rocket.
