An early trailer/concept pitch for SM.

Various ridemon concept art! (I know Magnezone made it into the anime.)

Settei for a couple of the UBs and Necrozma!

And early concept art for SM + the Altar of the Sunne!

Edit: Lusamine's room art and she has a fucking Gyarados up there? Girl.

Also, potentially RR could have been intended for SM. OR USUM was in development too by that point. This concept art of Ghetsis is from 2015.

@soulkius wanted a BronzongXCelesteela fusion, and I’m grateful that they let me deviate a little from their initial sketch, it ended up looking like it’s own Pokemon. Enjoyed this process a lot!

#414. Internal files found in Pokémon HOME shows unused cry data for second forms of both Jynx and Celesteela.

Although Celesteela's second form cry uses the default Bulbasaur cry, Jynx's second form has a unique cry and uses the same reverb as Mega Evolution forms.

This unused cry, as well as the fact that the cry's file name matches the naming convention as other Mega Evolution's crys, indicates Mega Jynx may have been planned at one point. (X)(X)

Hey, I'm a huge fan of your old Pokemonsters series and went looking for the art again. To my dismay, I couldn't find it anywhere. Is there someplace they're still posted?

Oof... I'm pretty sure most of those have been lost to the void. I found a couple on an old hard drive though.

Seeing these again brings back memories... I had all this lore too. Although most of it boiled down to Pokemon just being very big and very mean. Except for Arcanine

Arcanine is a good boy in every universe.

You know this is actually long enough ago that I have begun to forget pokemon names :,)

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - World Map Now Colorized !!!

(I would suggest zooming in on maps to see the details)

The world map of Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon handdrawn with marker pens and colored with a combination of colored markers and colored pencils - below it a reference image made by eddyk28

A trio of zoomed in views of the map, with corresponding reference map for each of the three previous games - Rescue Team / Explorers / Gates - reference maps sourced from Inkedust @ reddit

The bottom bar of the map, including a reference map on the left, a compass rose, and portraits of several oc's on the right, a time gear motif can be seen on the border

Here's all the Daisuki Club UB art, for the UB event in Pokemon Masters today!

Which of the original UBs is y'all's favorite? (I like the sense of menace Guzzlord has to it, and how it ties in to Looker and Nanu's backstories.)

Fall in the Ultra Beasts campaign art from 2018, images sourced from Bulbapedia.

Fun fact: Bulbapedia states these images are "Sourced from the official Pokemon Center Online website circa 2016." This cannot be the case given the inclusion of the Ultra Recon Squad, Stakataka, and Blacephalon, all of whom did not debut until 2017. The earliest post I can find showcasing this artwork is this reddit post from January 19th, 2018.

celesteela? For the card thing. Love that funky thing

unfortunately there are only 9 Celesteela cards total, and most of them are just generic 5ban graphics 3D renders on blank backgrounds like a lot of the GX cards are. Same goes for most of the Ultra Beasts, they kind of got the short end of the stick here and they each only have a few cards with actual illustrations on them.

...So instead, I'm going to do a top 10 Ultra Beasts in general! (excluding the Cosmog/Necrozma bunch)

10. Poipole (illus. Shin Nagasawa, Sun & Moon - Unified Minds 102/236)

9. Xurkitree (illus. Shin Nagasawa, Sun & Moon - Forbidden Light 39/131)

8. Nihilego GX (illus. 5ban Graphics, Sun & Moon - Crimson Invasion 49/111)

7. Stakataka (illus. Shin Nagasawa, Sun & Moon Promo #209)

6. Naganadel (illus. Shin Nagasawa, Sun & moon - Lost Thunder 108/214)

5. Celesteela (illus. Masakazu Fukuda, Sun & Moon Promo #131)

4. Buzzwole (illus. Anesaki Dynamic, Sun & Moon - Cosmic Eclipse 21/236)

3. Naganadel & Guzzlord (illus. Aya Kusube, Sun & Moon - Cosmic Eclipse 224/236)

2. Blacephalon (illus. Hasuno, Sun & Moon - Cosmic Eclipse 104/236)

1. Buzzwole & Pheromosa (illus. Mitsuhiro Arita, Sun & Moon - Unbroken Bonds 1/214)

Some Trainer Drawings

[sincerely-sofie]

Do you have any particular headcanons about the Ultra Beasts?

Technically every Ultra Beast is an entire species, but I’m going to refer to specific members of each species who have fallen through Ultra Wormholes at one point or another and formed a found family of sorts together.

Novelette the Nihilego

A mad scientist type of individual. Knowledge-hungry and a bit callous in the questions she may ask, but is ultimately kind. She just doesn’t understand many social customs from her home world, let alone the new one she finds herself in.

Physically weak. Prone to hiding behind others when startled— uses people as living shields.

She is OBSESSED with mystery dungeons. Those don’t exist back home, and she’s desperate to figure out how they work.

Glows slightly in the dark. Glows brighter when she blushes.

Basil the Buzzwole

This man is a brick wall of muscle and friendship.

He and Novelette (whom he calls Novi) are very close. He doesn’t understand many of her discoveries or the research that leads to them, but he does his best to be supportive and help her with any experiments. Chemical reactions are a favorite topic of study for them.

Extremely emotive in his body language. He has a hard time reading people who aren’t very expressive physically. Doesn’t matter how much emotion is in your voice— of you’re not striking a pose alongside what you said, he’s gonna struggle to know whether you’re being sarcastic or not.

He makes the best fruit salads. No one knows how. You can follow the same process as he does when making a fruit salad and it won’t taste half as good as one he prepared.

Alabaster the Pheromosa

Despite her cool, unaffected demeanor, she’s extremely caring and a bit of a worry wart.

Where she’s from, pheromosas are the only form of intelligent life because they were the only sentient species that was capable of surviving in the aftermath of a massive explosion of unknown origins which turned the entire landscape into a massive desert filled with a strange energy.

She HATES feeling dirty / seeing dirty objects. Keeping yourself, your belongings, and your loved ones clean was a big deal for survival in her world, and while she understands that it’s not as critical in this new world, she still shows her concern for others by cleaning their things for them and nagging them to wash up before meals.

She frequently confuses pokemon of similar body types for each other.

She can instantly reach 120 miles per hour / 200 kilometers per hour from a dead stop. This results in her practically teleporting up to people at times and scaring the life out of them. She’s constantly reminding herself to walk very slowly and match others’ strides.

Watcher the Xurkitree

Spends a lot of time rooted into the ground for days on end, completely unresponsive. Whenever a storm rolls into the area, she rushes over to gather energy from any subsequent lightning strikes.

Quiet and stoic. Rarely talks about herself or her thoughts and opinions. Spends most of her time silently observing the people around her.

She’s pretty zany once she opens up to others. Make no mistake, she’s still stoic as ever, but she’ll say the most out-there things with deadpan delivery.

Can’t eat food and is confused by how people get energy from unmoving solids. Has a lot of opinions on the ways different types of electricity feel to absorb.

Enjoys swimming and being submerged in water.

Etta the Celesteela

Unlike the other Ultra Beasts, she has no mixed feelings about the thought of returning to her world. She’s getting back there ASAP, and she’s never looking back.

Communicates psychically with others. She was confused when people asked her how far she could communicate with people from. There’s no known limit to this ability.

She also has a lot of similarities with grass-types, getting energy over the course of centuries while buried in soil. She doesn’t spend much time in dirt in this new world, however, because she’s found that sitting in large bodies of water helps her gather energy much more efficiently. She might be able to return home even without an Ultra Wormhole if she spends the next decade in water.

She enjoys Watcher’s company whenever she visits Etta’s lake.

Coda the Kartana

A noble warrior-type who believes strongly in chivalry and intense moral codes.

Boasts about his strength and skill in battle, but is a bit of a coward who refuses to fight without another person on his side and will flee the second he catches a glimpse of fire or moisture.

At one point, Bud folds a piece of paper into a shape vaguely resembling him, and he became her self-assigned sworn protector.

Is affected by Alabaster’s pheromones more than any other ultra beast or pokemon. Thankfully, they’re not too much of a problem unless she’s very angry, which isn’t a common occurrence— but if she’s in an argument with someone and he’s remotely in the same area, he’s going to end up barely conscious and very emotional.

King the Guzzlord

Prickly and irritable, though he’s not intentionally cruel.

Constantly starving. It’s a miserable thing, and causes him a lot of pain. He tries to focus on various intellectual endeavors instead of how hungry he is.

If a field of study exists, he’s researched everything about it that he physically could.

Etta is almost constantly chatting with him telepathically. He really appreciates her company.

Pipo the Poipole

She’d get along great with Celebi if they ever met.

Strongly admires Deoxys.

Is technically capable of evolving, and has been for a very long time, but prefers being a poipole much more to the thought of becoming a naganadel.

Despite how different they are, King is her best friend, and she’s always secretly pestering Novelette and Basil about finding some way to make people feel full so that she can help ease her friend’s misery.

Chorus the Stakataka

Each brick is technically its own being— but they all form a single, unified consciousness that calls himself Chorus.

Absolutely loves music, which apparently doesn’t exist in his world, which is largely silent. He identifies strongly with songs being made up of multiple measures, melodies, and instruments— hence the name he chose for himself after entering this world.

He’s capable of removing individual bricks from his structure and placing them in different locations to observe the area. He’s not capable of remotely accessing the senses of any removed bricks, but gains the memories collected by the bricks when they’re reincorporated into his structure.

Ferryman the Blacephalon

A gadfly-type character who is always prodding people for reactions. Is constantly looking to make Watcher’s stoic demeanor falter.

He has a rather cruel sense of humor, and no topic of joke is off the table for him. Bud dislikes him greatly for this reason.

Gets his energy by feeding off of others’ emotions. The stronger the emotion, the better the fuel, so he likes to scare the life out of people by sneaking up behind them and making his head explode.

Has hidden depths that he refuses to acknowledge due to something unpleasant about his past.

Haven the Deoxys

Though he’s not your typical ultra beast, he has enough similarities with them to be considered an ultra beast native to this world.

An amnesiac who recalls very little from before he crash-landed on earth in a meteorite. He’s fascinated by the world around him— especially auroras, which he claims make noises like someone speaking nonsensical sentences.

Very fond of Bud. Despite his unfamiliarity with the concept of bonds developed past the depth of simple acquaintances, he considers her family. He’d give anything to make her smile.

Enjoys writing. He’s not very good at it (according to him) but he likes creating short story collections especially.

Necrozma the Necrozma

The best grandpa in the world.

Bud the Human

While she’s not an ultra beast, she’s been absorbed into their found family after Deoxys encountered her while she was lost and concluded that, as a creature that isn’t a Pokémon, she obviously must be an ultra beast.

As much as she loves her family in the main TPiaG cast, she finds it very freeing to be in a new group outside of them. Even after returning to live amongst humans in the Future, she makes sure to visit the long-lived ultra beasts she befriended in the Present.

She gets a lot of individual nicknames from the ultra beasts— pretty much every one of them has a unique way to address her.

This girl is collecting adopted parents like they’re trading cards. Someone stop her. She’s too powerful.
