Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon - Info coming November 2nd
- Thread starter Serebii
- Start date
I really disliked how he was constantly grinning from ear to ear. He took away any sort of gravitas, for small as it was, from any scene he was in. Remember all the stuff that happens in Aether Paradise? As soon as Hau enters the scene, he starts with his cartoonish shenanigans.
Ugh. The worst. I would settle for any other rival/companion. Even the blandest of the bunch would be an improvement.

A man after my own heart.
Though on top of my doubts of actually getting more alolan formes, Mankey already being part of the regions dex just knocks those hopes even lower.
So for now, give me Alolan Snowy Noctowl, there has to be some birds on that mountain!
Hau's extreme positivity is eventually challenged, though. He is a young man who constantly believes the best of people and looks for the upside of every situation. But when Lillie leaves for Kanto and it's clear she doesn't share his affections, he is deeply saddened. He sits on the dock, morose, and his previously ironclad optimism is challenged. The camera hangs on him briefly because this trial of his character challenges his ability to remain positive even in the most personally heartbreaking situations.
But he does decide to smile and he does pick himself up. This is important because even though we know he is heartbroken, he acts as if he is not. This creates depth to how because it conveys that the emotion he's showing is not always what he is feeling. And while he genuinely wants everyone to be happy and will preach that truth, it's not always easy for him either.
This is so much better than the insipid group of friends in XY who have the personalities of Teletubbies.
Hey this is an alternate universe to Sun and Moon so it's still possible ;)
This logic checks out!
Electric Rajang Primeape here we cooooome!
Maybe Fighting Alakazam and Water Arcanine that were rumored for the original S/M can be shown off? Please? Those were the two Alolans I was most hyped for originally.
Unfortunately setting the leek on fire didn't last long term
I hope people aren't getting too hyped for this and then we get a trailer that is all of 30 seconds long that just says Team Rocket is back and is up to something XD
This info will decide wether i get Sonic or Pokemon, as i already played Moon. So there needs to be quite some extras, atleast Pokemon Platinum tier of post game/extra content to do. Best case would be like the Gen V games ofcourse.
More like Barry was Hau done right.
I don't mind Hau but Barry was vastly superior.
20 of those seconds include a lot of camera panning around cutscenes with Necrozma and his forms set to the Pokemon main theme.
Truth.
Hau is not a brain dead grinning monkey, he's trying to stay positive, especially if those around him can't.
And tbh, if we wanna complain about grinning people taking away from the gravitas of a situation we don't have to look further than our very own MC. This is what really took away any danger any situation could have lol
Barry was an annoying asshole with one extremely lame joke that he thought was the zenith of comedy.
I'm still at like midway through Sun/Moon and I have to wonder; does Hau go through some actual development?
There was a small moment early on where Gladion called him out with something like 'You hold back on fighting for real because you're afraid you'll still be weaker than the Kahuna regardless' and that got me really intrigued, like maybe there was some layer of genuine insecurity with this character that they're going to develop. Hasn't happened yet though.

And Hau could not stop talking about malasadas. Neither character was done particularly well imo.
Rainbow Rocket, more on the postgame legendaries, and changes to the Festival Plaza are what I expect to see.
If were being honest every rival has had one issue or another but when they worked as antagonists in Gen 1/2 they worked so much better then the friends they became after that. Gen 3 had May/Guy character who was awful, Gen 4 had whats his face whose only character trait was being overly hyperactive, Gen 5's Black and white just had 2 really boring friends who never once felt like rivals, B/W2 tried to make that guy more of a rival but he wouldn't shut the hell up about the damn Pokemon his sister lost making him way more annoying then he needed to be, Gen 6 had the 'group' of friends all of which were awful and just uninteresting and the rival never felt worthy of being a rival because they were always so much weaker then you were (also I say this as someone who turned of exp share, always had higher level pokemon for every rival fight and the rival generally had 3 or 4 Pokemon even towards the very end of the game, X/Y seemed to think giving any boss 6 full Pokemon was to difficult when it was a standard in older gens)
I really hope the Switch game gives us more of a antagonistic rival that actually develops a team that is somewhat challenging to fight.

Better than Hugh.
Hau's personality is fine, I just wish battling him was harder. Though he did catch me off guard with his Alolan Raichu. Accidentally sent out a Machamp the first time I went against it.
This was the case with a lot of story trainers in Sun/Moon. I guess they were afraid of overshadowing the totems by making trainer battles more intimidating by having more than 3 Pokemon at a time.
Perhaps we can finally that rumoured water type Alolan Arcanine. ;)
About 10 minutes to go, expecting Battle Facility reveal and more on Rainbow Rocket. Hopefully we get a piece of information that can further confirm leaks though.
Expecting Rainbow Rocket and some sort of Festival Plaza stuff, but would be delighted if we got a new Alolan Form or Ultra Beast.
Yeah, a lot of the post gen 2 rivals are better than they're given credit for. Cheren, Serena. Wally was much better in ORAS.
I just miss those Gen 1 moments where Blue showed up and was much stronger than me ala Silph Co and on my way to Victory Road.
The hype is high because marketing has been so guarded and metered. It's been a real dripfeed and extremely popular features haven't been confirmed yet. Every trailer and every magazine spread is hyped to oblivion because it might be the one where we finally see that one feature everyone is waiting for.
Just going to call it now, it'll be a reveal of team rocket and very little else.
I want there to be more but the marketing for this game has been all over the damn place.

Just a trailer, as far as I'm aware. But it was a trailer they announced a week beforehand, so who knows!
