>>45249452>intro and regionThe part were you run out of your house and begin your adventure is really beautiful. Pokehawaii is very relaxing and chill. That's very subjective but I really enjoyed running around and exploring the small but interesting areas.
>characters and storyThis was the first pokemon game were characters and story mattered. Before you could barely tell the small characters and what they said was inconsequential. You can hate the story and characters all you want but it's really the best presentation in a pokemon game at the time. To me all of the new characters are unforgettable when in previous generations I would barely remember them.
>pokedex and battlesI think the selection of pokemon is perfect for the region but the postgame should have had more pokemon. The new pokemon are some of my favorites. The battle terrain is improved but the action is just as dull as the previous gen. It is usable at best.
>difficultyFor my playstyle (picking random pokemon that look cool and not using any items, TMs, or experience boost) there were a huge difficulty spikes because my team was a mess. For players with balanced teams and traditional playstyles it shouldn't be different from any pokemon game.
>featuresPokepelago is amazing and adds something for your boxed pokemon to do. Festival plaza is trash. Z-moves are cool only the first time. SOS is awesome. All the other features are lame.
>v.s USUMUSUM added some neat features (can't remember which and don't care) and butchered the story which is unforgivable.
>rotomdexI find rotomdex unbearably anoying. It is even more annoying in USUM. It legit ruined the game for me. If it wasn't for rotomdex singlehandedly ruining the games for me these would be my favorite games. I'm looking forward to playing them and hope I don't break my console because of rotom.
