>>35983560Poke Pelago is amazing though and great for busier players (free evolution stones, loads of berries, automatic EV training while you're working or asleep). SOS isn't the greatest but it's much less annoying here than in SM because wild Pokemon will only call more than once after an Adrenaline Orb is used now. The added challenge in some areas is nice too, although the Champion is easier. Also I thought the Battle Tree was better than the Battle Maison (better AI partners are available and there's a lot more music to choose from). USUM's Move Tutors spread throughout the game with easy points gotten from surfing is really nice too.
Getting to level 100 is indeed a problem, though it's less needed now since Pokemon levels are scaled when battling online. It's mostly needed for fixing the IV's via bottle cap for legendaries and shiny Pokemon, everything else you can pretty much just breed to have max IV's. The wormhole stuff is pretty frustrating though and Festival Plaza is awful compared to the PSS from Gen 6.
