>>41546963The only real problems that Sun and Moon had were
>lots and lots of cutscenes with no option to skip them>fucking blank stare protagonist>no National Pokedex, in that it did not include the Pokedex entries for all the Pokemon that had been introduced up to that point (this was the first hint that they would start cutting Pokemon out, btw)All of that could be patched in, if they could be bothered. Everything else, like the story and characters were either great, simply alright, or bad at first but got better as the game progressed.
Then they fucked it all up by releasing USUM. It fucked up the story, it fucked up the characters, and they introduced new Pokemon that you couldn't get anywhere else, meaning that if people wanted to legitimately 'Catch them all', not only would they be forced to buy one of these games, they'd need to buy BOTH in order to get both Stakataka and Blacephalon.
Seriously, pretend that they didn't cut any Pokemon for a second, but also failed to set up a new GTS like system in SW/SH. You wouldn't be able to easily trade for version exclusives like them.
