>>51129214>the S/M games were unfinished and unpolished, even more than XY>they fucked up the great GTS and multi-player system from XY and ORAS>Z moves were a good thing in terms of battling, but a new gimmick was not what people wanted, specially since we lost megaevos>Lillie was made to pander to a certain kind of players, if you're not into that, she's sometimes annoying>"pokemon Z" content that came from nowhere and didn't fit the game>A lot of people came back because of alolan forms appealing to nostalgia, meanwhile the ridiculous dances and animations of the Z moves tried to appeal to the smaller ones, because of the fear to yokaiwatch (older felt "cringe" i guess) >few new pokemon again>a promise of a new kind of gameplay but island challenge felt even easier than gyms and the league was like repeating the same>anime had a total change in artstyle and theme and a lot of people dislikes changes (despite anime being better or worse) I played the game and enjoyed it with some friends that haven't played since 4th Gen and my little cousin that was playing for first time a poke game and had 10 at the time
but I remember getting bored of it and never played the ultra beast part of it or anything past "the league"
The anime had some of my favorite chapters and honestly felt like a "summer holiday" season instead of a soft reboot of Ash after XYZ
The characters were pretty good, and I remember that a lot of people was enjoying it and drawing all kind of good fanarts
But games sucked ass, even if USUM improved it (never played them)
Also, my friend bought a 2DS and I had a new 3ds and the game still lagged a lot, that made the game look even slower
