Shit, I totally skipped anything Kahill related somehow! I never encountered her at all until the Elite Four. Then she came out and I literally who'd beat the shit out of her and never gave it a second thought until I noticed the golf course looking thing by the hotel.
>bitch is just hanging out in the hotel lobby
How do you go through a game and miss whole story bits and characters like that?

I'm starting to think that this game has a few cons.

i also wish the areas would've been a bit more sprawling. and that there would be more little secrets to surf to. I honestly loved Hoenn because of that. Usually i hate water, cause of literally 3 different Pokemon but with all the diving spots etc. it was like an adventure.

Tapu Village is nothing but a Pokemon Center, Konikoni is nothing but outdoor shops and two buildings, and Paniola is just one building that's not decoration. In a game with less towns than even Kanto. I'd have expected less towns would mean the towns are more fleshed out but we just got less on top of less

I'm getting similar answers.
My point is, not that AEther Foundation is true villain theme. My issue is, that Team Skull is just a useless team, that did "nothing" story relevant.
You could just scrap the whole Team Skull concept and change the Po Town into a normal city and nothing would be different.
>Their leader wasn't even competent enough to finish his Island Trial.
That's interesting! I want to more! Wait a sec. That's all? They don't even contribute to the story.

They could make it even better since Alola region has 4 islands, but you can barely surf .

I'm more upset with the wasted potential in this games story. When I got to the third island and Guzma came into the picture I started getting excited because he was a character I really wanted to learn more about and see interact with the world. But by the time the island was finished you met him right at the end had one fight with him at aethers base and that was it. I had the same issue with Lusamine. It felt as though I just met her and suddenly her story was pretty much done. The two leaders had a criminaly of screen time. Not mention gladion barley had any interactions with being part of team skull and I can't even remeber if plumeria had a single scene shared with Guzma. It felt like all the parts of the story I was legitimatly interested got pushed to the side so we could follow the same "Wow isint your main character the second coming of Jesus! Your so cool." Story we get every Gen.

I know Hawaii is small but man Alola was such a fucking disappointment.

I was actually one of those people who thought the real game would be bigger than what the pictures led to believe. Yes, I was in denial, but can you blame me?

They went heavy on the callbacks and missed this massive opportunity. Hell with the picture feature you shoulda' at least been able to meet the poke voyeur himself.

They'd have to explain the train tracks all along the island at that point, then.

Also, it would've had to have been Poni Island, because Pokemon Island is entirely uninhabited by humans. Could've easily been a postgame area like that giant island in Sinnoh was, though.

I assumed Team Skull were harassing people and their Pokemon and Lusamine used that as an excuse to place them under "conservation." She then began freezing them in mass amounts and storing them for her collection. Lusamine has Guzma on a tight leash after all.
