Just a massive downgrade from Sun and Moon. It destroys the quality of the story (which was SM's best aspect). It especially ruins Lusamine's character by trying to make her into an antihero even though they keep most of her evil acts. It breaks the natural difficulty curve with Ultra Necrozma thrown in before the Elite 4. A way to fix this would've been to have Ultra Necrozma happen after you become the champion and for it to be the final boss instead of Hau. Rainbow Rocket is boring and commits character assassination against the evil leaders. They also didn't fix the overly linear routes. If you want to play an Alola game, avoid this one and go play Sun and Moon.

Overall, this game gets a 1/10
