Why can't Pokemon have a good story?

Even Monster Hunter Stories got me invested into the game's story while I'm having trouble staying awake mashing the A button through all of Pokemon Ultra Sun's cutscenes.

Video games don't need story.

Why can't I skip all these cutscenes then, buddy?

As opposed to every other monster hunter game which is "you're a new hunter assigned to this region"

The main Monster Hunter games don't pretend there's a story. There's hardly any cutscenes and it's mainly a pure gameplay experience. Nothing wrong with that, especially when it's upfront about what it is.

Pokemon Ultra Sun on the other hand pretends to have a story, but it's really just a bunch of boring, meaningless cutscenes you can't skip. Gamefreak puts effort into having all of these cutscenes which break up the flow of the game, they might as well put some emotional weight into them.

My thoughts exactly. The game was such a departure from the Pokemon formula and although I have plenty of complaints I couldn't stop playing.

Pokemon doesn't need story. What it needs the most is improved exploration and region design.

I think the main point here is that this is an exception and also a spinoff game

The "regular" Pokemon games should have good stories, too! Or, at least good enough to the point where one can care about what tale there is to tell.

Pokémon main strength is not the story but the adventure. Modern Pokémon main problem is that the games feel like you are being railroaded through a shitty anime like game with no sense of adventure. Pokémon is at it's best when you are free to explore. Therefore my honest opinion for what should GF do next for Gen 9 is an open world Pokémon. I expect Gen 8 to do good numbers but not huge numbers by any means do to it probably being another Pokémon on rails like Gen6/7.

My biggest fear is that Sword and Shield are just going to be more of the same. I think if they're going to go that route they should really at least invest in the story.

Fucking this. I got burned out on Pokemon and wanted something similar. Seen the demo for this, downloaded it and loved it. Bought it immediately the next day.

Was the story and other elements that good cause the gameplay makes this game a hassle at some points.

I loved this game so much. I should look into transferring my save into the Japanese game with the English translation to get the update since the West never got it.

Unironically give Yo-Kai Watch a try.

Cheval pulled a Sasuke and I unironically loved every minute of him being on screen. He was the perfect Pokemon rival. It's only when his Rathi gets btfo does he begin to realize the error of his ways.
