THE CHARACTERS: The captains and the kahunas are somewhat involved in the story compared to the gym leaders in previous gens (note that I haven't played DPP and BW/2) and for me that's a plus. I rather battle with characters that have personality and involvement in the storyline than those who characters who easily "come and go." And who doesn't love team skull?
NEW POKEMON: Unpopular opinion perhaps but I'm not a fan of some designs. I love how some pokemons are based from hawaiin lore, but some designs are kind of meh. I wish there were alolan forms from other regions as well. I think this is their way of introducing Pokemon Sun/Moon to Pokemon GO players. Idk. The ultra beasts feel like they don't belong in a pokegame game.
MUSIC: Music is much better compared to gen 6. I constantly find myself humming some of the music from this gen's OST. Team skull and the guardian diety's soundtrack was one of the best I've heard as far as pokemon is concerned.
NEW MECHANICS: There are so many new changes that I love and one of the obvious ones are the trials. The trials are more fun compared to the gyms and the totem pokemon is much harder than gym leaders in previous gens. Though I wish they were more interactive like Mallow's trial being like Cooking Mama. Another mechanic that I love is when you have more than 6 pokemon and you caught a new one, you have the option to put it on your team rather than finding the nearest PC, this feature is very convenient specially in breeding. Also viewing IVs is much better now, feels like this gen was made with competitive battling in mind.
OVERALL: Story, Characters, Music and the new mechanics are great. I just felt some pokemon designs are lackluster and gamefreak's like they're losing ideas. I'd give it an 8/10.
If it's true that DP's going to have a remake, with the changes we have in Sun and moon, I think it's gonna be great (really excited about this one 'cause I've never played this gen)!
