>>51385794That's a very good description of SM & USUM.
I like the Pokémon introduced with Gen 7, but a good amount of them have the problems seen in modern Pokémon designs.
Alola is a fun region to explore, but the linearity holds it back.
Characters were given enough screentime and focus, but I didn't really care for them.
Story for SM was one of the better ones for mainline, but unskippable cutscenes makes it a pain on repeat playthroughs.
Festival Plaza could've been an improved Join Avenue, instead it's far worse and took the PSS and Battle Factory down with it.
Poké Pelago I find to be the best feature of the games, but it did take away some of the depth of berry farming and amie for better or worse.
"Ultra changes", need I say more?
