>>34249518Honestly, if Z came out like USUM, then we'd all be disappointed and Gen 6 would have an even worse reputation.
>>34249153I was honestly expecting more Alolan Forms, given the precedent ORAS established with Megas, and how USUM was touted to bring in more older lines of Pokemon. Honestly, just having 5 older lines with variant Alolan forms would've made the games feel so much less like a rehash.
Other than that, just little miscellaneous stuff, like Rotom now being super distracting and annoying, the Photo Club being heavily touted in the game even though it's really shallow, not expanding obvious areas like the volcano, golfing course, or power plant while including baffling new areas like Pikachu Valley and the tunnel in Akala. That said, I'm still at Akala so I have yet to hit the majority of the new stuff, and Mantine Surfing is surprisingly fun and a good alternative to the Battle Tree to collect BP.
