>>50256209>>50256253XY were unfinished
moving on
okay but really, they have nothing to them and were so obviously either rushed or intentionally left shallow for a Z version, the fact that we never got one leaves these games shells of plot equivalent to DP with even more stupidity involved (Lysandre's introduction holy shit)
SM are the best after BW due to their very strong characters, interesting concepts, and cohesive plotline- they never let you hear the end of it, but the story is actually pretty good. Save for the intro to the game spoiling what could've been a cool twist, I think that the way Lillie's arc was handled and how Lusamine ended up changing by the end was very narratively satisfying and enjoyable
also, all of Guzma
too bad they had to force you out of the plot to make it work, and generally fuck over player agency- though the plot is still good enough that it's almost acceptable on your first playthrough
USUM shat all over it and went "lole what if lusamine was good akschually", doing fuck all to expand upon the base games' stories and retroactively making the first games worse
Ultra Necrozma is cool though (as are the recon squad) so it has some merit
SwSh suffer from the same problems as XY, except they go about doing it like SM
you never hear the end of the plot, and you also never get to participate in it- you're stopped constantly for stupid irrelevant random shit like paintings at restaurants meanwhile all the characters around you get to do the cool plot stuff and suck your dick for doing nothing
Rose is retarded (and even if that's the point, it's too retarded to make him come off as anything other than an idiot, especially since he never really 'loses his cool'), Macro Cosmos are twist villains for the sake of twist villains, and Team Yell is embarrassing
Can't comment on the DLC because I don't like doubling-down on utter trash
next post is the last, i'll just talk about remakes and pla
