>>38198628SM. USUM has some interesting ideas for mixing things up but instead of working them into the existing plot they just dropped the interesting stuff that was already in SM in favour of the new stuff. Incorporating the USUM content into the SM story without huge rewrites would have been simple but they actively undermined all the good things SM had going for them. Lusamine is just one example. In SM she’s a cunt but there’s a reason for it that you don’t agree with but can understand. In USUM for the sake of subversion she’s actually trying to save everyone instead but she still did all the terrible things she did in SM for the sake of the ruse, but now there was literally no reason for her to do any of that evil shit besides try and force Cosmog to evolve and they make no attempt to explain her actions either, she’s just a bitch for no reason and keeps fucking frozen Pokémon in her basement just because.
