Nintendo/Game Freak Register Trademark for "Ultra Shiny"

Ultra Shiny sounds like... a Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon port for Switch?
Eurogamer redeemed? (Pokemon Stars)
Shiny Pokemon always felt like something kind of unofficial to me. Do they ever acknowledge that it's a thing that exists?
Yes?
There's a whole story segment in Gold/Silver where there's a red Gyarados at the Lake of Rage.
Yes the term is officially used nowadays
As an example: https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/add-a-shiny-silvally-to-your-ranks/
He's more asking if Gamefreak uses the term "Shiny Pokemon" to describe alternate colored Pokemon. Which they do.
In 5 minutes, expect a youtube video titled "Pikachu Has Ultra Instinct Confirmed??!?!?" followed by "Ultra Pikachu vs Gohan Blanco."
It's most likely not a game name, but a name for shiny versions of ultra beasts.
So then I'm the only one who thinks this is a Pokèmon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon port for Switch coming this Fall? We heard originally from Eurogamer that a game called Pokèmon Stars which was a Sun & Moon port would come to Switch and then that rumor disappeared.
It didn't disappear. Eurogamer later reported that it was only a tech demo to see what Pokemon would look like running on Switch hardware and that they're creating a new Pokemon for Switch.
Sounds more like a spinoff title to me, somehow. Let's see what this is going to be. For me, i hope the first Switch game won't be a port of S/M/US/UM, that should've happened as a day one cross-platform release with US/UM.
At least official enough that those things also appear in Pokemon Go, and some shiny legendaries have been distributed via online-gift in the main games before.

It sounds like a cross-gen type promotion. Like "Get an Ultra Shiny Zeraora". Something that's just a Shiny Ultra Beast in Gen 7, but does something different in Gen 8.
Here's to hoping it's just some Pokémon Trading Card thing, and not another tier of Pokémon rarity.
Oh yeah something like that probably makes more sense for this name.
odds of finding shiny 1:8000
odds of finding super shiny 1:8000x8000 or 1:64,000,000
GOTTA CATCH EM ALL
SUPER SHINY POKEMON
Could be, I mean Sun and Moon are both shiny!
Nah I'm with you! #teamswitchport
Stars already was confirmed to be kind of half-real wasn't it? It was an internal test of the engine on the Switch hardware leading sources to believe a real port was happening.
I doubt this is the name of a game (unless it is an Ultra S/M port), since they usually go opposites and I can't imagine there being a Pokémon Ultra Dull as its counterpart.
Also jokes aside, I'd love for there to be something to replace shinies. Shiny Pokemon are so common nowadays that they don't even feel special anymore.
In single player or multi? If it's multi, they were probably generated
They're only "common" because people dedicated an obscene amount of time to catching them, and theres also millions of people connected together. Any replacement would be just as common because this isn't the 90s and people arent forced to trade locally.
Single player. There are so many random event shinies and tools to help you find them that they are super easy to get compared to the early gens, so I don't even care when I get one.
Neat enough to have a whole new Pokemon game centered around them? I'm not sure, but I won't jump the gun until we know more.
I mean like, even I caught a few of them and I only play the games like a little bit before I give up out of boredom, so I figured they were just getting a lot easier with all the shiny tools they introduced. Maybe I just got obscenely lucky lol
If it was a new game, I'd expect the trademark to be "Pokémon Ultra Shiny" instead of just "Ultra Shiny", but that doesn't entirely rule out the possibility of it being a new game.
Maybe they're planning on distributing shiny ultra beasts or something? Could be some sort of merch line as well.

Who said that this would be the name of the game ?
Imo they're clearly trademarking this because they intend to make merchandising about ultra shinies.
Can't wait for Ultra Instinct Shiny Lucario.
1. You get the ones that will always be shiny like the red gyarados in HG/SS or the ones in B/W.
2. Luck. Lots of it. In Sun and Moon there was a 1 in 4000 chance to get a wild shiny Pokemon. Having stuff like the shiny charm helps though. And you can use things like the PokeRadar to boost it.

I still have yet to encounter a single shiny in the 200~ hours ive played of SMUMUS/150 I put in Gen 6. I think youre just really REALLY lucky, as besides the full pokedex completion reward, the chances have never been changed.
Actually, I'm gonna make a wild guess and say that this is a new TCG expansion.
If you wanna get some easy shinies, in Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon there are these Ultra Wormholes that can lead to a shiny Pokémon quite frequently.
They have also added several mechanics to increase the chance you get a shiny such as the Masuda method or the shiny emblem (or whatever the name is). I have only really seen 2 shinies without playing those chances in the wild in my whole pokemon time.
