>>50004005I think it has its moments, the main issue with SM is pacing and structure (Lots of cutscenes and each island being small on its own, though all put together are quite sizable), the new mons are overall quite good (Solgaleo is CUTE!) though that is ultimately subjective and having the Trainers need to do stupidass Sentai poses is a good way to get them more visually involved in the battle as they direct and support their Pokemon, and taking a break from the Gym Challenge was a good idea if just as a pallet cleanser, Totems were also basically a Trial Run (heh) of Max Raids and Alphas in having a single challenging boss enemy Pokemon.
Probably among the bottom of my list mind you, ULTRA CHANGES did it no favors to me, say what you want about SWSH but the Season Pass was a great "Third Version" implementation.
