>>31318576You referring to the lack of megas during main game? I'm glad, being the only trainer among hundreds in a region being able to instantly transform your mediocre starter into a broken legendary makes it too easy to steamroll.
I found the level of challenge on sm to be pretty solid and a huge step up from gen 6 even if you chose to abstain from megas and/or exp. Share.
In moon I left off exp. Share and didn't use zmoves or pkmn refresh and I was like 7 or 8 levels under the elite 4. Granted I switched up my team a lot trying to use as much of the impeccable alola dex as I could.
The only other feature I can think of that I missed was dexnav. That should be a staple along with walking with pokemon and the hgss item/pkmn menu.
