>Absolutely love the starters and their evos' designs and final typings (esp Decidueye)>OST (minus the E4 theme) is fucking awesome all the way through, lots of memorable tunes>Lots of obvious research went into this, Alola really feels like it has a rich culture>Cool concepts for legendaries like the Tapus being mischevious part-Fairy deities>My most favourite villain team ever (Team Skull, Guzma is best boy)>LOTS of genuinely comedic moments>Lots of loveable human characters (felt like BW again) that you wanna root for>Lillie gets more tolerable after not too long, redeems herself>Gladion is surprisingly likeable too, as well as Hau>No blatant shiptease like ORAS>Dialogue options actually add a little something (amusing results)>Ultra Beasts as a whole are awesome>Having an abusive mother as the villainess is interesting (US/UM ruins this by making her suddenly say a half-assed apology)>The villain team (Skull) not being the final bosses and Guzma redeeming himself is nice>Champion/finale gave me the biggest smile (US/UM ruins this), was incredibly satisfying>Poke Pelago is very cute>Z moves, unlike megas, aren't all species-exclusive, which feels like they finally threw a bit of a bone to the unloved 'mons>in US/UM Necrozma finally getting that extra depth is good (as well as getting to see another dimensions' inhabitants/town - this on top of the negative things about US/UM make me wonder if it was worth it)>Rental Pokemon instead of HMsI'll leave it at that since it's late.
