This is amusing.
I preferred Solgaleo over Lunala, but I think I prefer Ultra Lunala over Ultra Solgaleo.
If anything, I hope they fix the main character's sprite a little bit. I feel like during most scenes, whereas everybody else was showing emotion, the main character was just staring off with this stupid happy smile on his face; uncaring about the events going on around him like an interdimentional gateway being opened n front of his face. Feel Something! React! Emote, darn you!
And while I'd LOVE new Alolan forms, I don't think they're very likely. They wouldn't be compatible with SM and I think banning a subset of Pokemon from online battles would be... weird.
I agree. There's this tweet from SM's datamine referring to a placeholder image for Lycanroc on the PGL. It could mean nothing for all we know, but it could easily be for an USUM-exclusive form.
Necro-Lunala looks ridiculous to me, but Solgaleo's form is pretty cool. I'm interested to see where they're going with the concept. It's a cool way to incorporate Necrozma but I hope it doesn't end up being to similar to Kyurem's forms. And while I'd LOVE new Alolan forms, I don't think they're very likely.

I began thinking they could possibly fuse Necrozma with Decidueye, Incineroar and Primarina if they don't give them new alternate forms. The starters' final evolutions with black armor would look cool, and they could all have Prism Armor as their Abilities.

I'm just glad Necrozma is going to play a bigger part in something. I do wonder if the "fusions" are caused by some Z-move or another item like the DNA Splicers.
That's part of the reason I put them on my "maybe" list. Although, they did it to some extent with ORAS and the new megas. They didn't ban it, you just couldn't use the new megas against X/Y players.
I do think they'd be better off doing it, because it would give player's a larger incentive to buy the games. I mean, I only really play one video game and that's Pokémon so I'd get it anyway, but it is a desired feature of a lot of players. So I guess it depends on what their marketing strategy is.
With the megas though you could just ban the stones themselves. I'd find it kind of weird if, say, Parasect was banned from online battles. I'd really like if they added new ones too though, especially since the Alolan forms we have are kind of underwhelming, but I'm pretty skeptical.
Maybe it's just me, but I do kind of miss the days when a Pokémon only had one great set that you would mostly use. With these forms you get "well this is my normal base necrozma, this necrozma is fodder to upgrade my legends, and this necrozma is my new form one" it's just the more new forms, the multiple duplicates are created. It's not necessarily a bad thing, I just feel like it sort of ruins their identity a bit.
Fair enough, understandable. I, on the other hand feel the opposite because I feel it adds uniqueness and unpredictablity to the game. I think it gets too boring when I can perfectly predict what set each Pokémon is using, plus it allows me.to use more of my favorites that are otherwise uncompetitive by finding different strategies and combinations.
I have seen some discussion about this elsewhere so I need to clear something:
4 means fifth form. In computing languages, numbering starts at 0. So:
Midday: 0
Midnight: 1
Totem Midday: 2
Totem Midnight: 3
Eclipse: 4
The "fourth" Lycanroc does not correspond to the totems.
From what we've seen I THINK Necrozma is the husk/shell/spaceship/armor of "Nebby" used to travel through ultraspace that took on a sentient life. Kinda like Kyurem.
