>>51951408The first half of the story makes no sense with the added last half. Lusamine is the lynchpin of it but it's not like changing her character without adjusting the rest of the story to fit it doesn't hurt the overall story.
>and what we got in return was worth much moreStory wise nothing of value was added.
Rainbow Rocket was cool fanservice but it does leave a bad taste in my mouth that the Looker sidequest that existed around the UBs was entirely removed (I miss Anabel actually having a role in the game) instead of reworked to fit around the new concept.
And gameplay-wise the changes were minimal. Mantyne Surf is a gimmick that doesn't add much and the Ultra Necrozma fight is another glaring example of Game Freak's inability to design boss fights.
