>>58511838make a alola legends game where the league development project flops hard, the population has become really disenfranchised with the government/government equivalent, aether has become the new de-facto leaders, and everything is bridled by malaise and frustration. Tourism dries up. Gyms were constructed and never used. New bridges and artificial islands built for aether to operate from, but they just end up as homeless camps. The tapus haven't been seen in decades. Kukui abandoned the region after his ambitions dried up; hapu, acerola, mallow, lana, kiawe, ilima, etc are older now but completely frustrated with the state of the islands, and half of them are frequently tossed in jail. Nanu and guzma split up ula'ula and have a functional "ceasefire" because things are so anarchic. Trials aren't even held; just random abandoned structures where vagabonds can steal z-crystals that are unusable because the bracelets can't be made anymore.
I know this is nonsense that would never happen but that might be kinda cool.
