it's fine, it's still Pokemon so the core gameplay is still good but I have so many problems with this game. The constant yapping got so annoying so quickly, most Pokemon games have a slow start but the first hour or two of this game is literally just dialogue. I don't mind lots of dialogue in games as long as they're yapping about something interesting but the story of this game is not that good (apparently the original sun and moon had a better story and they ruined it in this version but I haven't played them so idk) and the characters are mostly bland and uninteresting. On top of the constant yapping there is constant handholding and the difficulty in this game is non-existent I only blacked out once throughout my entire playthrough and honestly I'm embarrassed that I died even that one time. The game is too long as well by the last 5-7 hours I was pretty sick of the game and just wanted to finish it. Despite how critical I am of it, Pokemon Ultra Sun is not a bad game, like I said before the gameplay is still good Pokemon gameplay and it has other positives too. I like Alola, the new Pokemon it introduces are great and the region itself is cool I like the tropical island vibes and while I personally didn't like the trials I know a lot of people do and I can respect them for going with something different here instead of just gyms again. The game just has a few annoying issues that bring it down but even with those it's still decent.
