>>37061442I love midnight dog, and to be honest? I love USM.
Even with all of its flaws, it did so many things right too, and it felt like the series actually tried to go somewhere new with the structure, even if Trials weren't completely different from Gyms, I still liked them more.
The main thing I loved were the extra things like Pelago so you could sort of let the game "grind" overnight and stuff, and the removal of HMs made it feel like you had more party freedom. It helps that the mon selection is really good. Photo Club is an underrated feature, also.
I understand why some people wouldn't like this game, but the flaws don't bother me nearly enough to say I don't love it.
