Sun/Moon's story is better than X/Y, but only marginally so (the only big flaw Y/Y's story has compared to S/M's is the weakest team in existence), but I feel X/Y told it better. Sun/Moon starts with a very interesting intro, then nothing really happens until Lillie gets kidnapped. After that, the story unfolds way faster than X/Y, which I think is an error in pacing. At the very least we know that a story is unfolding in X/Y from begginning to end, with way better progression. Plus, the ultrabeasts are too vague a threat compared to Team Flare's killer laser.

I do agree that they didn't convey the threats of the Ultra Beasts well at all, big disappointment for me. I found it annoying that the Ultra Beasts were reduced to the status of random encounters in the wild... And Sun and Moon had so many cutscenes, but no cutscene that shows Ultra Beasts threatening other people? That's my only letdown with the story basically.

We have that amazing cutscene where the Ultrabeast attacks the kahuna and Tapu Koko has to fight it, and then... nothing really like that. The fight against corrupted Lusamine was also a big letdown. Once again, we get a really impressive cutscene showing us the fusion between her and the UB, and I was thinking "Am I going to have to fight a human-pokemon hybrid? This is great, this looks something out of a Shin Megami Tensei game or the sort!" and then she just uses her pokemon team. Then why did you fuse at all!? What's the point? Why did you tease us like that?.



You know it deserves the GOTY.
