>Region: I think region design started slipping after Sinnoh, and faceplanted at Galar, but Alola has a lot of heart and identity and everything from the towns to the music to the pokemon make it feel lived in>Characters: Lusamine, Lillie, Gladion, & Kukui are badass, and even more minor characters like Hala or Nanu are pretty fun. Sure there are a few more forgetable faces like Ilima & Kahili but they mostly did a good job.>Pokemon: Most of the new Pokemon are pretty great; Mudsdale, Golisopod, Toucannon, and Lycanroc being some of my favorites>Story: It was the first twist villain and it was also done the best because we actually had some reason to give a shit about the character. SV basically tries the same thing with Arven's storyline and SwSh doesn't even try to sell you a convincing narrative about Rose. Also the Aether Paradise being this mechanical sleek futuristic juxtaposition to the wilds of the rest of Alola was kinoThe problem is that the game is so strict with where you go and how you explore the region that it just feels so cramped.
