It's funny, because if they added a cutscene/dialogue skip then you'd see how fucking shallow the Gen 7 games were. Story is literally all Alola has going for it, the region can't stand on its own two feet because everything is so lazily designed and devoid of any exploration whatsoever. They made the game putting story and characters first and foremost and it's painfully obvious.
I'd have been more forgiving towards SM if the story amounted to dealing with the UBs yourself. Would seem fitting for a monster catching/battling JRPG, but GF thought it would be more entertaining to babysit a useless girl to help with her family issues.
Masuda was mediocre as a director but I'll gladly take him over Ohmori anyday.
