No. Least favorite region in the entire series. First one I genuinely dislike it literally a tourist trap uncomfy as fuck and to small. Never want to see another tropical region again after this.

I loved the setting but they handled it terribly by making each island separate and not accessible through sea or something. It's tedious and ruins muh immersion

Pretty scenery and pokemon, lame level design and cutscenes/handholding

Personally I did. I felt like it was the first Pokemon game where you were allowed to choose to play hardcore or casual without it being cumbersome. I know some of the mechanics were dull and some features childish but I played SuMo and UsUm to the end. Probably the first time I've broken 350 hours since my old Sapphire version on the GBA.

Say what you will but it was great. Thanks Alola.

Alola was a good idea imo, but lots of things ruined it.

too linear
it wasn't really fun exploring because of how little you could explore

Felt kinda smallish due to the segmentation of the islands. Poni Island felt barren for a last island.

I'm still mad about the lack of golf course.

I was forced to play through the last two in order to get the exclusive Ultra Beast. So not really.

I dunno, I think USUM are pretty alright games, but the fact that they were released as anything other than the base games made them pretty shitty in the grand scheme of things.
They could've done a lot more with Gen 7, but I don't think any of it would have fixed the main issue of region size and linearity. Not having anything to explore in routes or cities bogs down the experience so much when the main quest is so lacking.

Fuck no, it didn't even really feel like Hawaii to me. I really only liked Po Town and some of the characters like Nanu, Lana, and Mina.

Is USUM sufficiently different from SM story-wise?

No. They should have changed the starting point like they did in gen5, so it would have felt different even if it wasn't.

As a place/location? Yes, probably my second favorite after Johto.
As game content, I don't hate it but it does feel very barebones. Still take it over Kalos any day.

Is it still worth playing for any reason at all, assuming you've already played through SM?

Not in the slightest. The region was so boring that it was the first time I dropped a Pokemon game. I eventually forced myself to finish it and it wasn't worth it in the slightest. What a waste of data and manpower.

Not really. I feel a lot of things USUM changed didn't work, actually. Because, like in Emerald or Platinum, there's also tons of stuff they didn't change. But those games had the changes be incremental, further build upon the originals' storylines. USUM has a different storyline, some characters have different motivations, but when looking at the whole picture it doesn't come together very well because of the holdovers from SM. It's an awkward spot, they should have either changed more or changed less.

And if they didn't, and care about story at all, SM is still the better choice.
I think USUM does have more content than it but it's not by that much.

45 minutes to an Hour just to get to starter picking screen makes it almost impossible to want to replay Gen 7 for any reason whatsoever.
Also, Kukui and rotom made me want to throw my 3ds when they popped up every 30 seconds with their useless fucking information and point A to point B movement restrictions until 3/4ths into the main story.

Positives: I actually enjoyed the Legendary/Lillie plotline. Aether and T. Skull stuff was enjoyable too. Ultra Beast hunting post-game was also probably the most fun I had the entire game.
But yeah all that pretty much happens in the last 1/4th and after beating the League, which I don't even remember.

Just did US for the first time over last two weeks. Yes, it was pretty fun. The routes really did feel like hallways though. The 3D perspective made everything feel so much smaller, so old 2D route designs didn't translate well at all. I wish gamefreak learned this lesson, but they've been ignorant for the last 6 years.

UsUm is the first main series game I've skipped. I clocked less time in Sun than any other game as well.
It just wasn't fun.
