So who else was completely unimpressed with SM? For me this was easily one of the worst games in the series. Despite trying so hard to be the best story in Pokemon ever, it was mostly annoying cutscenes that constantly interrupted my journey and didn't even outrank BW. None of the characters were compelling except Nanu and Kukui. I didn't give two shits about Z moves, went for most of the game without them and missed nothing. Alolan forms were mostly shit and add very little to the metagame (at least megas actually had some kind of impact). The new Pokemon designs were fucking gutter trash, and this is coming from someone who found several Pokemon to appreciate in every previous gen. Starters were all horrible. The exploration is extremely shallow. No diving in goddamn Hawaii of all places. Limited fishing spots. Meh region. Customization inferior to XY. Festival Plaza is shit and nowhere near as useful as the PSS. No bike. I could go on and on, but wow, this is the first Pokemon game where I regret spending $40.
