>>36851608The problem with USUM is that it barely fixed any of SM's flaws (and some like chansey chaining for hyper training are shoddy patches at best) while adding a few of its own - a big one is the story. When story is at the center of your basis, you can't fuck it up so hard.
Although it did add quite some nice features, my favourite being yhe photo club, adding more flavour to the region and putting some sense into the Battle Facility's normal-super modes being separate. A stupid addition from BW that nobody ever brings up.
>>36852735I think the only areas improved in ORAS were the undersea ones.
The changes to the ship are arguable, but Granite Cave and New Mawville received a clear downgrade. Sky Pillar got turned into an exposition scroll, sure the bike puzzles couldn't be emulated 1:1 but any sort of challenge would have been better than what we got - and would have made the exposition easier to swallow.
