UB Burst's SINISTER Secret Origin? | Pokemon Theory | Gnoggin

Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon have recently revealed some new Ultra Beasts! Amoung these is UB Burst, a clown looking thing. Could this have anything to do with Stephen King's IT? Pennywise the Clown?

Imagine UB Burst offering driftfloons to children.

Do they burst?

Ohh yes... they burst Georgie... they burst... and when you're down here, with me... you'll burst too!

A lot of Pokemon are based on scary monsters, legends, gods, yokai, spirits... the devil. Why not?

[soweli_Lukonsi]

First couple of seconds left me terrified. Not of Pennywise the Dancing Clown, but because of the sudden realization that there are legitimately people who are completely unaware of _IT_'s existence beyond the 2017 movie.

Also, there seems to be a lot of speculation as to why a Japanese game studio would draw inspiration from a Western source. My answer: there is boss and, by extension, an entire world, in Super Mario Sunshine based on Stephen King's _The Shining._ This is not a first for Nintendo.

Excuse me, sir! Do you have Prince Albert in a Poké ball?
You do?
Well, ya better let that poor guy out!
*WAHA! WAHA! WAHA!*

When the ultra beast are just kid friendly lovecraftian eldritch abomination.

[howardjones]

As a fan of both IT and Pokemon, I accept this Theory.

[jackbuist]

Well I know what I'm nicknameing my UB Burst: Pennywise

[andresmarrero]

Here I thought it was based off of a jester. Then again, these horror clowns are based off of jesters, what clowns originally were.

[nathanbrownlee]

You forgot that it's head looks like a balloon, a balloon that explodes. Calling back to the many scenes in IT where a balloon pops and blood splatters everywhere.

[RebelliousRobot]

Oh hey, there's a beautiful Tim Carrey out tonight...


I might have botched that quote.

Please hire Lockstin for a Lore Designer! You surprise me with all your theories and work you put in even if the teories arent correct, they are better than what original is. Keep it up man, your work is amazing!

[The_GhostWind]

To me, I also see that it has a reference from The headless Horseman, do to it's mice *mind blown* since the horseman can use a jack'o lantern as a method to attack its victims

[godsknee]

It could also be based on fireworks hence the fire typing, colorful appearance, and its signature move being pretty much a firework

[schwiftypenis]

I’m naming my UB Burst Pennywise. Who’s with me

[Zhello]

40 people didn't see as pennywise as real compared to Georgie.

[lightswiftly]

Excellent theory Lockstin! Inclined to believe this one.

Lockstin assumes that we don't know "IT" was based on a Steven King novel, as if we are nothing but uncultured peasants.

[vincenttucker]

This is what I’ve been saying!!! And UB Assembly is obviously a reference to Stephen King’s Dark Tower.
