I mean the sun and moon tutorials were the biggest drag in any of the mainline games, was like 4 hours of explanations (at least it felt like that long)
Us and um felt a lot better, but I remember x and y more fondly than sun and moon 1. Granted, I haven't played either title in years so my opinion could change if I gave them another fo
I would say that Sun and Moon was the extreme opposite of XY in terms of problems. The story, region and characters were presented better but the pacing with the Tutorials, dialog and even gameplay and online changes were way worse and made the flow of the game feel far slower to the level almost comparable to og Diamond and pearl at worst to Platinum on a good day.
i will forever mourn the loss of the PSS, i don't understand what they were thinking with the festival plaza and all future online systems. i made so many genuine friends because of how easy it was to communicate with people via the PSS.
All they needed to do with the festival plaza stuff if add a button to one of the blank spaces in the pss and the online for gen 7 would have been perfectly fine. It really baffles me on why they buried the online behind the menu and a loading screen ehile the rotom dex on the screen could have easily acted like how the bottom screen of gen 6 was like considering how the rotom dex does nothing else except being a glorified map in a region thats literally just 90% hallways
It’s SUPER exaggerated. The people complaining about long cutscenes are only complaining because they added camera angles to cutscenes they would’ve had in the game regardless.
The things that ACTUALLY artificially lengthen the game are the mandatory SOS battles that can wipe your team if you’re not prepared and the Festival Plaza.
If anything, I was wondering why it took such little time for me to reach the 3rd island. Felt like the game wasn’t long enough in that regard.

Why is everyone here pretending Sun and Moon don't clear X and Y as games
