>>36772973It's just too bad that they utterly failed in all of these aspects. Half of the regional variants are shit and are considered some of the worst additions to Gen 7's Pokédex, not to mention they made it a Gen 1 exclusive gimmick. Trials are literally just Gyms, you enter the area/building, fight a couple of easy battles, and then fight the boss. The only "real" difference is that instead of fighting a high-levelled team, you fight a high-levelled single Pokémon who can call for allies. The characters of Gen 7 are all incredibly bad. Lillie is a moron who gets lost walking in a straight line, who we needed cutscenes for to tell us that she wants to buy clothes. Gladion is underutilized as fuck and almost doesn't even exist outside of the 10-minute part of the story where Lillie was kidnapped. Hau is an annoying brat that is literally in the wrong when he bickers with Gladion, yet the game forces us to agree with him despite that, plus he and Gladion both leave their friends/family in the ditch when it's actually time to save the world. Lusamine was completely ruined by USUM, Faba is generic as fuck, Guzma acts and talks like a broken record, and the list goes on.
