>>38202489> Introduced a plot expanding Necrozma and Hauthat replaced the original plot and is still part of the main plot not actually separate
> Introduced a new Battle Factory Facilitynot new, been done before, iterated, yes, although whether it's actually better than the Battle Factory is debatable
> Updated UIDebatable, it changed slightly, I wouldn't say it's an actual update, more so just an aesthetic change
> Improved Pokemon variety w/ larger dexYet still lacked the National Dex, plus Pokemon choice wasn't really an issue in SM, this wasn't DP where if you didn't choose Chimchar your only Fire-Type was Ponyta
> New and improved Totem BattlesNew, yes, improved, arguable. Ilima didn't change, Lana's was easier imo, Kiawe's was about the same, Mallow's didn't change, Sophocles was the only one that I feel was improved thanks to the better designed Puzzle associated with it, Mina's I guess is better than nothing but it's underwhelming given they could've done more
> Grinding & Bottle Cap HuntingYou don't need to grind in SM or USUM aside from Ultra Necrozma because of that disgusting BST, also I never used Bottle Caps so I dunno what you're talking about with them
> Fun Side ActivitiesMantine Surfing doesn't have a pause menu so you can restart, Photo Club I could achieve the same outcome by googling "Pokemon dress-up flash game" and Ultra Warpride was a terrible way of relegating the other UBs as well as the small selection of post-game 'mons, it's somehow a downgrade from the UB invasion Post-game.
