USM is one of the better games in the series. I don't see why people shit in it so much.

I agree that they’re the best 3ds era games. RR has some of the best battles in the series

I like more than the other 3DS and Switch Pokémon games for sure. Just for the National Dex alone

They ruined Lusamine, basically false advertised exploring Ultra Space and I can't fucking catch Bounsweet for some reason because it's almost extinct.

SO JUST FUCKING MAKE HER MORE RARE FOR THE SATISFACTION OF SAVING ONE FROM PREDATORS AND RAISING

It has several good things but it ruined a bunch of the totem fights and had to fuck with the main plot to shove ultra necrozma in there

It's not really that bad but every other third version is a straight upgrade with little to no compromise while the best version of gen 7 is somewhere between SM and USM

USUMS biggest downside is the existance of SM. And while i agree that its better than SM (quite a bit actually), its still a fact, that there are MANY overlapping things in those two games, and people already played those things (similar to other 3rd versions, but those actual new things were much easier to find with them only being in one game).

Its a great game, but if you already played "most of it" already the pricing and buying becomes way harder to justify

Probably because Alola is the worst region to explore both because of its shitty and boring barebones level design and the annoying and stupid characters that pop up around every turn to spoonfeed you useless dialogue.

If it's so good it should have been the original release. I'm sick of Gamefreak getting a pass for this "Buy the improved version we released a year later" tactic.

Because Alola sucks. I don't hate the mechanics, but the trials weren't a very good replacement for gyms and the story largely revolving around Lillie's family drama wasn't very compelling. The anime writers realized how bullshit it was so much so that they completely disregarded it and made Lusamine a normal emotionally healthy mother. It's a shame how much I hate Lillie and Lusamine (the latter I like a bit for coomer reasons) because I really liked Gladion as a character. He could've been genuinely threatening in another game series since he's basically hunting you (well really Lillie and Nebby) down with a man made creature with a creepy helmet.

if they cut down 95% of the cutscenes and dialogue and removed those fucking retarded trial gates and made each island non-linear these would be the best 3d games by far

alola is the definition of wasted potential

No it's not, the cutscenes and dialogue work as a disguise to mask how small and boring the actual region is. If you removed the story obstructions you'd just be left with practically nothing.

Maybe if you didn't play SuMo previously, but as a third entry it feels the exact fucking same. And considering the incredibly long unskippable cutscenes were still there, I stopped playing like an hour in

Same reason why people like to nostalgia over Brawl Subspace Emissary
MUH STORY
MUH CUTSCENES
BLAHBLAHBLAH

I don't even think they would use USUM to move forward for future content. The Amerishart animation does not count.

It's only shit on because Kalosperm are a vocal minority on this board trying to push the narrative that everything after XY had to be worse when in fact Gen 6 was the low point of the series and we've only been recovering since.
Had it not been for them, USUM would be rightfully considered to be up there among HGSS and BW2.

>barely fixes any of the early game, which is completely insufferable and what kills most Alola playthroughs
>runs fucking horrendously for what while are pretty games, aren't that much prettier than other 3DS fare which run way better
basically if I wanted a tropical Pokémon game I'd rather play Emerald any day of the week and not have to have a fucking aneurysm over 5 minute-long cutscenes of people walking, turning their heads and cheesily emoting with no voice acting in 15FPS

So did you not play the game or did you rush the story and then blame the game for your decision?

I really wish this game was DLC instead of a new game because it meant having to replay SM again after having just played it a year ago to only see some minor changes and Lusamine's character changed to be worse. Story just didn't really go anywhere new either. Difficulty was good. Bringing back the battle factory was neat but I wish it was better implemented.

More or less this >>49552688
Most of USUM's additions should have been in the base game with the Necrozma arc and some other features included in a Delta Episode-like DLC.
At worst USUM should have been a single game instead of another split version.
