Not if you're playing with the joycons attached in handheld mode. If you are you can use the stick move the camera and completely avoid motion controls

I just want an evil team to have their grand plan explicitly not involve the Legendaries again. Say, they are building a doomsday machine or army and only intersect with the Legendary to get it out of the way.

Make Team Skull the true villain and make their ultimate plan culminate in them stealing a stop sign and laughing at the chaos that lasts all of five seconds before they get arrested by the police

Gen V is the best sendoff the sprite-based games could've asked for

It's a pity the same can't be said for USM being the last handheld title

I think he might be referring to it retconning some of the most impactful emotional moments. I still think they are, indeed, great and wonderful.

If SM didn't exist, probably

Should've found some way to merge the two, and have Ultra Necrozma show up FAR earlier than it did and the Ultra Recon Squad is about as effective as Team Flare in terms of story presence

It's the butchering of Lillie and Lusamine that sour USM for me, but hey, at least Malasada became a little more of a character, so...ehhhh?

it's mostly the same with a handful of changes to make the story and aesthetic worse, plus an all-new (and not very good) postgame episode in the style of delta episode in or/as

They do change the story around the Ultra Beasts and Lusamine. Instead of being psycho-obsessed with Nihilego, she's psycho-obsessed with the idea that she's the ONLY one who can solve the big problem posed by Necrozma and that you kids should just sit back and do as she says.

Also, one of the Elite 4 members is swapped out for someone else.

Those are all just the starters but more so. Don't a lot of the more recent starters have some kinda theme that only becomes apparent when you see their evolutions?

I know it's not gonna happen but it would be so funny if Scorbunny's third evolution was quadrupedal.

Actually in retrospect, Ultra Recon Squad kinda is bad because literally every other character seems unimportant when their theme isn't this
