>Cool well designed region.
alola is a glorified guided tour of hawaii, you are railroaded until the credits roll
>Kino new Pokemon
Some are. Others are shit like Toucannon or Dhelmise.
>Amazing starters
Decidueye is shite and Baracat and Primarina just feel like people in mascot suits
>Based characters like Lillie and Lusamine
Maybe for you but personally I prefer when my Pokemon games are about Pokemon not soap opera famiky drama
>KANTOO pandering kept to a minimum
Tauros, Charizard, Machamp and Lapras all serve as modes of transportation in the region, Charizard isn't even native. Not to mention all Alolan forms are based on originally Kantonian Pokemon
>Great music.
Oh wow finally something we can agree on
>Good writing
And we're back to disagreeing
>No gay gimmicks
HAHAHHAHAHAHHA
Bait, but I replied so I'm partially to blame

The shitty online that was a backstep and the cutscenes being longer at crucial moments made it worse. I don't hate it, maybe I could enjoy it now, but coming from X&Y I was livid. Having to press a on people while running in a circle for online features is mind numbing.

Not "in retrospect", I said it at the time too. This is the best region, with great games. People just like to hate everything and shat on it unjustified.

The online is shit in SM. The whole festival plaza stuff is terrible. In X&Y you didn't have to grind to use certain features online, you simply had them from whatever point onward.

I will concede and apologize. I didn't like them much at the time but in retrospect they feel like the last games with proper effort and polish put into them despite its flaws.
But to your points here I disagree with some and I still think you're praising the gen too highly.
>Cool well designed region
It's a nice comfy place but much more linear than the previous couple gens. It's an entire region of islands in the ocean and yet there's almost nowhere to surf, a true wasted opportunity.
>Kino new Pokemon
Generally true.
>Amazing starters
The only one I would call amazing personally is Rowlet. Primarina is way too girly and Incineroar is just a goofy fursuit looking man.
>Based characters like Lillie and Lusamine
This game genuinely had some great and fleshed out characters that stand out amongst the best in the series. But I'm surprised you picked those two in particular, it makes me assume you're a coomer. Not even going to mention Guzma?
>KANTOO pandering kept to a minimum
This is false, every Alolan form is a Kanto mon.
>Great music.
Yes.
>Good writing
It's alright for Pokemon standards.
>No gay gimmicks
Anon, every Pokemon game in the past 10 years has gay gimmicks.
