Haven't played Pokemon since White/Black(since I didn't have a 3DS), any big changes I should know about that aren't in the OP?

The most important new feature added since those ones is wonder trading, which is where you do a blind trade with someone else in the world chosen randomly. The online features are accessed through something called "Festival Plaza."

Wouldn't everyone just use a trash pokemon for that?

Geez there’s a lot of Pokémon variety in (Ultra) Sun, and I’m not even off the first island yet.

Also Team Skull is hilarious.

How useful is Pokémon Refresh? It seems quite tedious and is one of the only things that uses the stylus.

Nevermind, just got Poke Pelago and Rainbow beans aren't as rare as I thought they'd be.

I read something about legendaries you haven't caught respawning everytime you beat the Elite 4? Should I just KO any story legendaries/ultra beasts and save catching them for later when I have a stronger team then?

Well Ultra Necrozma certainly feels unfair. Is there a better place to grind levels than Poni Canyon?

EDIT: Literally the only strategies I've found online are to cheese it with Zorua/Mimikyu/Pokemon with Sturdy and Toxic. Good game design.

That name doesn't come off like a mainline pokemon game at all, which I thought was what they're working on. Suppose it's possible they want to shake up the formula in a Breath of the Wild / Odyssey manner but right now that leak has me kinda ehhhh with the Go stuff.

It's been my personal speculation the switch games would go back to Kanto with the references to it in S&M - it sort of feels fitting for the transition to a new platform where I assume they might be trying to recapture old fans or bank on nostalgia. Plus I think we're now further away from Fire Red/Leaf Green then those were from Red/Blue? If the leak is true, I hope Kanto has changed a whole bunch and been expanded. Also, I do like the idea of being able to start with Eevee.

Yeah normally I wouldn't believe it but Red and Blue showed up in Sun/Moon and there are so many Kanto references. I thought they said the Switch Pokemon would be a new generation though?

A Kanto remake with Johto as postgame as a reverse of Gold/Silver would be really cool and would probably be the only thing to get me excited about it.

I think they just meant the motion control stuff for throwing the pokeball rather than just pressing a button. It'll probably be optional anyway.

Getting to the Sevii Islands was really cool when I was 10, because I had absolutely no idea that they were there and each island had its own little questline.

Unfortunately, they also had the kidnapping Hypno

What was so bad about the Hypno?

Also you could have caught a Mankey to help you with Brock.
