Pokémon Sun and Moon/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character]]: Despite all the hype they got during the pre-release period, Alolan Forms weren't utilized to anywhere near the extent they could have been: with only a handful of Pokemon families getting Alolan variations that were relegated solely to Kanto Pokemon to boot. Considering the huge amount of of fan-made Alolan forms for all sorts of Pokemon, there's a ton of potential that Gamefreak could have tapped into considering all the old Pokemon that returned. But tragically, nothing much was done with it and in ''Ultra Sun and Moon'', ''absolutely no new Alolan Forms'' were added.

** Among the Elite Four, Kahili is the only character among them who the player never interacted with beforehand, leading to her feeling a lot less developed than the others.

* [[Tier-Induced Scrappy]]: Crabrawler and its evolution Crabominable catch a lot of flack for being what are widely considered to be among the worst Pokemon to use in-game. While not ''terrible'', they suffer from two major drawbacks: one being that Crabrawler cannot evolve until it reaches Mt. Lanakila... ''which is at the very end of the game'', meaning that you have to lug around an unevolved Pokemon with middling stats through all of the game, [[Can't Catch Up|where it has a ''really'' hard time keeping up with all the powerful Pokemon that pop up near the end.]] And the other drawback is that as a Crabominable, its slow speed and partial Ice typing do it no favors on a defensive front, and the only major opponents it can fight (The Elite Four and Champion) will, more often than not, have Pokemon that it's either weak to, or otherwise is disadvantaged against.

* [[Unintentionally Unsympathetic]]: {{spoiler|Considering her tragic backstory of having gone mad with grief due to losing her husband and being exposed to Nihilego's toxins, as well as a hinted-at possible redemption, it's clear that Game Freak intended Lusamine to come off as a disturbing and contemptible, yet ultimately sympathetic villain who still has a shot at being a good person. However, a lot of fans felt that the attempts at making her sympathetic fell flat due to the ridiculously cruel and sociopathic extremes she took her villainy to, and how she always maintained a [[It's All About Me]] and [[Never My Fault]] attitude even while claiming to be acting out of "love." Not helping matters at all is her chillingly realistic portrayal of an abusive parent, her more sympathetic traits being relegated to post-game backstory, and the revelation that Nihilego venom doesn't brainwash so much as it amplifies and enhances the natural traits of the venom's host.}}
