Sure, it might not be the best Pokemon game ever made, but original Sun and Moon's story, setting and characters are peak SOUL.

Best story in the series. If GF is gonna shove cutscenes up our ass for the rest of eternity they better be at least as good as the ones in this game.

You trannies are just listening to the awesome evil team leader battle themes and getting tricked by the perfect soundtrack into thinking it actually belonged to a villain good enough to deserve it.

also reminder that alola is literally the only region with likable and well-designed gym leaders/side characters that have actual appeal beyond "OH GOD.... IS THAT A WOMAN... I'M COOMING...."

This is probably my least favorite Gen, but I have a-lot of good to say about the story.

Kukui having a life outside of his lab, like his marriage and weird hobbies. Maybe the most memorable and well developed professor. I was surprised by how much I liked him. Having him usher the player into the world, and then act as your final obstacle, was pretty cool way to bookend the game.

Everybody else feels like an extended family. The captains are all friends who have done the whole island trial campaign before. Random NPCs will recognize you as a trial-goer, which helps to reinforce that your journey is part of a cultural event. The trials themselves were a nice break away from tradition, with some of Pokemon's best boss battles.

Aether Foundation was a nice "twist" villain and a break from the norm. The raid was the best part of the game to me. The tension, the OST, the family drama and so on. Lillie and Gladion being forced to grow after their mother went insane made them into surprisingly compelling characters. The ending was great, where they had the maturity to take her to a doctor, and then take over Aether Foundation in her place. USUM fucking ruined this ending btw, and should never be considered canon.

Meanwhile I would say that the Hau is arguably the worst rival and gets cucked with no redemption unlike Hop.

Hau is a weak link in the story but he's at least kind of funny. I consider Gladion the real rival and Hau as just the comic relief cartoon character.

YES. USUM shat all over this.

>SM is the only pokemon game with a bittersweet ending. You can never interact with Lillie again.

SM Hau is a garbage can, but USUM Hau is somehow one of the more interesting rivals in the entire franchise. It makes Hop look even worse in comparison, stealing Bianca's ending without any of the character arc or development.

>we lost the perfect conclusion to an anniversary game for Hau Battle #290282820829

SM will always be the better version in terms of pure mainline story. If only it had all the extras.

I won't lie, SM did had SOVL. But it's hard to replay from beginning to end credits again. Still, it's up there with BW in SOVL.

I view SM as like a movie. It's the most cinematic game by far and has genuine emotional backing throughout unlike SWSH which tries to hit similar beats in an inorganic, artificial and SOULLES way.

I wish for a day where pokelolis will be judged not by the itty-bittines of their titties or the tightness of their cunny, but by the content of their character

As any anon here whose lived in Hawaii as I have I think they got the life style down pretty well. Like that whole "Everyone knows everyone" kind of feel because you're on a fucking island. The Laid back personalities, the atmosphere, the different islands, I can't say I don't have a sweet spot for the overall gen. Even though I'm a die hard Gen 5 guy.
Though the Ultra Beasts were one of the strangest fucking things they added in.
