Who the fuck can defend HMs?
The story's pretty good, and the cutscenes are pretty much just speaking, like a lot of every other fucking Pokemon game.
Trials are actually fun compared to "step here to make a curtain open/rotate a platform". Some gyms were pretty fun, too (specially Unova ones) but doing certain tasks is something different and enjoyable.
>not casualized >Pokemon Choose one. Also, if you want a challenge, try battle style SET. It makes it quite harder.
Who cares about 3D anyway?
Searching for Z-Crystals is fun and lets you know that there were other trials in Alola, hinting interesting things.
Have you heared of Poke Pelago? You can grind 18 Pokemon at the same time while not even playing the game. Just saying.
Actually, you can just run with Tauros for like 5 minutes and you can hatch an egg. Also, with the egg glitch you can even know the nature, IVs and shininess of your Pokemon.
This gen was specifically designed for double battles, and new abilities were made to counter most OU Pokemon, not to create more OPmons.
Speed =/= usage
Zygarde Cells, UB missions and Z-Crystal search makes it a good postgame, along with QR scanning to get rare Pokemon.
UB pretty much are the main plot, you would know it if you just read instead of smash the A button in every "cutscene", as you call them. Just because you fight them in postgame doesn't mean they don't play a major role in the main story.
Alola forms are supposed to be just climatic adaptations of old Pokemon. They are Kanto exclusive because GF is a Kanto cocksucker and that's nothing new. Not every Pokemon is supposed to be competitive to be cool, and who ever cared about Raticate, anyway?
TL;DR: OP's a faggot
