>>31855735Pretty much this, but I played with the exp share filtered. I used a all alolan team and it felt good
I did miss gyms and HM's in the game, especially when the ride pager felt reticuled to just a few specific Pokémon, especially towards Kanto mons. Besides that, it had so many holes in the plot, and areas either felt rushed or incomplete, like Poni island, the first island, and the resort plus missing dungeons
The Pokémon introduced were fine, but if there were less fucking Kanto Pokémon and more alolan forms for other gens, like for bellossem or hydreigon or even golurk, it would have been better. Then the characters come into play and they were either hit or miss. I liked the trial captains, but the focus on Lillie turned me off. I didn't feel like the main character, since the screentime was on Lillie being a pretentious bitch
Postgame needs some help. Dearly. Masuda seems to hate lengthy postgames that keep the player entertained, and it's two mainline games that have done it in a row. Rather then give us some legendaries to catch in previous areas, we get a side quest, a partial new area, battle tree, and tapus. Such a bare bones experience
