>Significantly better and harder gameplay.>Almost all Totems are well designed and challenging instead of just Lurantis and Mimikyu.>All major trainers, ace trainers and veterans have Pokemon with 30 iv's in all stats, optimal natures and 252 ev's in two stats. Lategame the same applies to literally all trainers.>Some trainers, for example Guzma, have stronger teams.>Ultra Necrozma is most likely the single hardest main story Pokemon boss ever on a blind playthrough.>Victory Road added.>Postgame story massively improved. Instead of just catching a few Ultra Beasts that don't even have 3D map models you go through a decently long dungeon with puzzles and boss trainers who use legendary pokemon.>There's a whole minigame for the aforementioned Ultra Beasts and you get to visit their homeworlds. They all have 3D map models.>More pokemon are available.USUM aren't perfect and have a lot of flaws (Bad route design, too many pointless cutscenes, areas you can't explore), but the people who unironically think that SM is better than USUM just because SM has a mediocre story instead of a bad one are braindead. Lillie and Lusamine being slightly better characters is in no way comparable to how much better USUM is from a gameplay standpoint.
