Well, wasnt that expected? This has been the case with every third version aside from Black 2/White 2. I would argue this is much better third version than Yellow/Emerald/Platinum, due to having a 4-5 brand new 'mons, and other things like rainbow rocket, ultra recon squad, and an expanded ultra-space is far and beyond what those three others version bought to table.

Low-effort cashgrabs shouldn't be the expected norm though, quality sequels that add a lot to the story and change the main game should be (like B2/W2, to a far lesser extent Emerald).

The main story of US/UM is 100% the same as S/M right until the point where you summon the legendary, and then it throws you into a horrible, gyroscope controlled (!!) minigame. The Ultra Recon Squad add nought to the game, apart from one or two battles, Ultra Space is barely Aether Foundation sized, Mantine Surfing is only a thing between two islands and Rainbow Rocket is post-game. The few new Pokemon are cool additions, but even they have zero impact on the main game, and no appearances either, outside of the endgame battle, and Ultra Recon Squad. It's pretty much S/M's Platinum, it really should have just been DLC for S/M and it is absolutely not worth picking up if you have those already.

If it means that they've had more hands on deck for the Switch game and as a result it'll be mind-blowing, then great, but I want to see it first.

I mean, how is emerald a better third version than this? It brought next to nothing n ew except the Battle Frontier. Wouldnt call that a "quality sequels that add a lot to the story and change the main game should be ". Same goes for Platinum, even though its my favourite pokemon game.

And Rainbow Rocket leaders have legendaries, why would that be during the story?

Well yeah, I do agree its sorta dissapointing after what they did Black 2/White 2, sure.
