Pokemon Sun and Moon launched back in 2016 and included the intriguing concept of Ultra Beasts, which were the 7th generation's dimension-crossing creatures. Fast forward to today and we now have background information on their unusual design. The Ultra Beasts were created by Pokemon Sun and Moon designer Yusuke Omura who had been testing out designs for new and unusual Pokemon, but they were initially rejected by Game Freak art director, Ken Sugimori. Thinking that the Pokemon designs should be put to good use they decided that they would use them as the Ultra Beasts.
"I designed the Ultra Beasts by recalling some of the designs I made which were rejected by Mr. Sugimori, and I decided to deliberately use the very reasons for why they were rejected and base the artistic direction of the designs on them. So in some way, they're like a manifestation of my own resentment– pretty scary."
"Of course, this doesn't mean that I hate Mr. Sugimori or anything like that."
