>>45190016>Nah, USUM's story just wasn't about Lillie and her family, they are still the most important part of it as well.Aside from the ultra recon squad it was a straight copypaste of SM up until the confrontation of Lusamine. So yes, up to that point it was still about Lillie and her family. The Ultra Necrozma shit was extremely half baked. Don't even try to justify the sudden change in direction, they showed us frozen fucking Pokemon just to spell out how nuts Lusamine was just for her to turn around and say "lol actually I just wanna save Alola" two seconds later.
>It was more a story about you and NecrozmaPlayer character is a blank slate like always with no actual bearing on the story aside from being there to beat up the bad guys. Don't even try to claim it's any different.
>USUM gave the family some needed closureThe one legitimate point. Too bad it's completely sullied by the absolute flop of an execution that was the family's arc. Bringing it to a resolution is meaningless without Lusamine going far, far, far off the deep end like she did in SM.
Necrozma deserved its own arc, not a last minute shoehorning into an already existing arc. They should have saved it for postgame and expanded on that rather than make us sit through Rainbow Rocket, tease us with interesting ideas they'll never follow up on, and try to convince us a petty mob boss is somehow a greater evil than four varieties of genocidal cunts.
Don't even get me started on the ultra wormhole minigame or anything attached to that.
