It's hard for me to think we will get new Alolan forms after today, I really feel if they were to announce them they would have done it today to coincide with the GSVC release and help promote sells. There is always a possibility that they may reveal them in October but I am not keeping my hopes up, as I feel there is now a 20% chance of there being new Alolan forms in USUM.
I would be happy if someone could convince me that there is still a strong possibility of new Alolan forms though!
As a s,de note, because of the Pokédex listings, we now know that UB-Assembly and Burst are the only new Pokémon, besides a possible mythical.

Why is everyone so pessimistic about new Alolans? They revealed about 10 of the 100 extra pokemon the Alola dex will have this time around. Plenty of space left for new Alolans. On top of that, the biggest news usually drops around the time Corocoro arrives, so it was a bit unlikely they would drop anything like now Alolans with this trailer.
What makes you say that?
I don't know if you already see it, but was confirmed Necrozma's forms new types (even if they are quite obvius)

A NEW GHOST!!! I'm SO happy (I'm Ghost specialist )
Lunala is 390*, Necrozma is 400, so there is only 9 species in between.
If there are no new common species and mythicals, these are the only new Ultra Beasts.
*The number is confirmed in merch.
While I'm still hoping we'll get new Alolan forms, it doesn't seem that likely now since they're adding so many pokémon to Alola's pokédex

That doesn't confirm anything at all? That's just the Alolan Dex number. It might confirm no new UB's beyond burst and assembly, but they could also be swapping out. Maybe Kartana and Celesteela aren't catchable in Usum (or any other UB really, take your pick). There could still be new Pokémon before that, they're rearranging the Dex. They wouldn't just be at the end of the Alola Dex, they'd be wherever they were catchable.
Also another note...what's the chance of them removing some lines to insert more? I know we all did the math and it seems to be adding 100ish new lines, but they also typically try and make almost everything catchable in a generation between games. I'm sure they won't get rid of any main lines, but they could very well be doing some swap outs of side lines...taking out a Pokémon like the Magnemite line or starting line and putting in something else. It would give people motivation to have both sumo and Usum, which can only profit them.
As for new Alolan forms... I'm still hopefully. Thinking about it this way, we are very close to release but we're also running out of things to reveal in that time. What could they possibly have left to show us? The mysterious suited four Characters, and what else? We've seen the photo club, the mantine surf, new UB's, Necrozma's forms, Mina's new trial, dusk form Lycanroc, some new z-moves...they could still have some z-moves to show us, and maybe the Pikachu park, but they'll also still need some other bigger reveals to share too. So there's likely a few bigger features left to highlight, hopefully it's some new Alolan forms!

But unfortunatelly I dont think there will be any new significiant news to share, otherwise they would have done so..
Hope I'm wrong

How do you figure that though? You think there won't be any new trailers or reveals until release then? I don't mean to make it sound like there definitely will be new Alolan forms or new Pokémon or anything. I just mean that each trailer they drop always tries and highlights one decently sized new feature, so there's likely a few more new features up their sleeves.
There's essentially just one more CoroCoro left now since the game comes out in November. The October should be the last. While a Corocoro will come out a few days before the game releases in November, it should just be a recap of everything learned thus far; it won't hold anything new. With only one reveal left, I doubt its anything major. We got lucky with 2 new UBs being added and predictably, the regional dex has been expanded to include a lot more previous pokemon (Just like the Black2/White 2 sequel shenanigans), so just about everything is learned. Next issue will probably hint at past Legendaries that can be obtained post game.
We got this trailer at the end of the month as well didn’t we? Fairly certain we’ll get 2 more updates, Corocoro + extra trailer. They also started revealing stuff pretty late, so I would do anything but bet on there not being anything big when Corocoro drops
Maybe Kartana and Celesteela aren't catchable in Usum.
