>>34246508Tbh I would've been perfectly content if USUM's only new shit was
- New Alola forms
- New Necrozma formes
- New UBs
- Ultra Warp Ride (and making the Ultra Spaces not be boring hallways)
- Fixing the first half of the game to not be one long boring tutorial
- Actually treating and using Lillie, Gladion and Hau's characters right instead of making them annoying little brats (Lillie and Hau) or never fucking using them (Gladion - should've been part of the climax too)
- Saving the Ultra Recon Squad until after the first rift opens after talking to Burnett, keeping the Lusamine-Nihilego plot and having Necrozma be a "surprise" as it steals your Legendary right before you go to save Lusamine, using the SM Anabel mission as part of the climax, and having Zygarde actually do something. You know, so all the old plotlines from SM are actually used, and in tandem with the ones from USUM.
Fuck Mantine Surf. Fuck Photoclub. Fuck the RR Episode. Fuck all of the shit that doesn't do anything other than "just exist". They should have focused on fixing the cutscene bloating and making the story better. New alternate forms, a better Lille/Gladion/Hau, a better Ultra Space, and a better story. That's all I wanted.
