>>50435646I hated USUM far more than SM.
Not because it was bad (from what I've read, the late game/ postgame is pretty cool), but because it made me detest SM in retrospect. Its existence renders SM entirely obsolete, a total waste of $40, when everything cool in USUM could've just been added as DLC. My breaking point was when I got to Lana's trial and it was the exact same as SM but with a Araquanid instead of a Wishiwashi, and then Lana said "teehee did you expect something different?" as if it was some huge nut-busting subversion of expectations.
>B-but it was just a "third version"! We've had those since gen 1!!!I never liked those games as a concept, and after B2W2 I never thought they would be a thing again, especially in an age of DLC. The fact that SM has actual blank, empty spaces with signs that say "hehe keep an eye out guys, some content will come will come here soon *wink wink*" was so fucking lame.
