But SM is already a thing, so those games are directly shit. That's how it is.

I might have liked USUM if it wasn't so chockfull of unskipable cutscenes every 2 steps. Roads are also shit compared to most other games, though then again Swsh's routes are even worst so I guess it's alright.

I'll be honest with you, I don't remember a single route from Alola. But locking Ultra Space behind a single preset location is poor game design.

Me neither. I was playing through SwSh and while I don’t hate them, I understand why they’re lacking to others so I went back to USUM & I feel like I’m having a good time even though this is my 3rd play through. I appreciate the amount of care they put into the little details that most fans won’t even think twice about. It’s easily my favorite 3D game

Most of the trials can all be challenging if you don't prepare for them ahead of time. They all have strategies and movesets deaigned to counter their weaknesses, more than any gym team ever did.

I skipped sun because US came out right when I started getting back into pokemon. Saw Rockruff and thought it felt like a gen 1 pokemon. Played through it, loved it. Went to sword after the expansion and uh, it's decent to roleplay in. That's about it, which is sad because I loved every single sword character. I see why people complain about sword, bit Alola was such a nice little vacation. Felt like a great reentry into the franchise with so many familiar faces too. Maybe if had stuck with pokemon gen 4-6 I'd be as jaded as vp. Oh well time to camp and cook curry until gen 9

And this is the same company that did the battle frontier just to annoy pokemon emerald players in ORAS too.
Face it. GameFreak never learned or improved over the years. Sun and Moon was shit and Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon was a disappointment.

Gen 6, Gen 7, and Gen 8. Funneh.

I never noticed the EV trained trainers. If you EV train the game will be too easy. USUM is only challenging relative to other pokemon games. All EV trained trainers do is round out the experience so the game isn't too easy.

>Great music
Literal crap compared to Gens 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and I'd say 4 and 6 too.
>Arguably the most challenging Pokémon game with many opponents having EVs and actual coverage
The fuck are you talking about these games are a walk in the park are you a zoomer?
>Tons of side quests
???? I think you're mixing up side-quests with Post-game content. The only thing that I would classify as a side quest is the Zygarde Core shit and it's a worse collection shit that what we have seen in other games.
>Cute interactions with Pokémon
I'll give you this but also reminder that you were able to interact with Pokémon as early as Gen 1 with Pikachu. This was heavily improved in Gen 8. This what matters in Pokémon and it'll always be improving.
>Post game is alright from Rainbow Rocket to Ultra Space to the Battle Tree
I'll give you this too, but the Ultra Space is a variation of the Gen 6 ORAS post-game and the Rainbow Rocket a variation of Gen 6 XY Post Game.
>Cameos from a lot of old characters
We've been having this since Gen 2 mate. We literally had a Pokémon World Tournament in Gen 5.
>Fleshed out a lot of SM’s cast
Honestly don't care as those series were cancer.
>More lore
More lore is not good if it's shitty lore.
>Mantine Surfing and Alola Photo Club were fun mini games
If I wanted to play mini games I'd grab my phone and play shitty games. I care about the actual RPG content.
>Move Tutors
Was before, was after too.
>Expanded Pokédex & Island Scan
This is literally the first games that removed the National Dex. What are you talking about? What we have in Gen 8 started with these games. And Island Scan is, again, a variation of older features that can bet traced back to Gen 4.
>Totem Stickers
Another variation of old look and find features that gives you a shitty Pokémon as reward which their only gimmick (the size) is removed when transferred to other Gen as it was scrapped in the following one.
>New Z Moves
Z moves are cringe. This is not good.

I played them sorry if I missed something because of how shitty those games were. I literally suffered of how bad it was in order to finish them both of them (Sun and Ultra Moon). Maybe if I had time to explore and actually enioy the game other that having straight routes and fucking mini-movies every two steps I could have payed more attention to side content.
