There will be no new Alola forms.
The Lycanroc palette swap, Ash-Pikachu, and the Necrozma-armor legendaries are the only new forms.
The story will be almost the exact same, only with Necrozma shoehorned in.
The game being an "alternate universe" only means that they don't have to pay any attention to making the lore or storyline consistent in any way with SM.
The trials will be the same, the characters will all be the same other than one or two extra characters who contribute nothing of value, like an extra Battle Tree partner or two.
There will not be a significant expansion to the postgame, in any form. Certainly no Battle Frontier.
USUM is such a cash grab that Game Freak isn't even bothering to TRY and make it look like an actually different experience. They're not stupid, they know full well that orange Lycanroc looks lazy as fuck. They just don't care. They can produce the game with minimal staff and almost no effort, focusing on the Switch games instead, and still rake in the cash because it's Pokemon.
And even if everyone on the board boycotted the game it wouldn't make a dent.
There is no hope. There is nothing Game Freak will do, and nothing any of us can do.
