I know, "lol Literally playing Pokemon for the story." :P
I play for the gameplay, and I'm not into the competitive side, so I figured I might as well enjoy the story while I'm at it. Already bought Ultra Sun thinking the Ultra series was the better versions, and then I found out that the stories for SM and USUM are different from each other. Exactly how different are they? Did I get the short end of the stick?
Haven't played a Pokemon game since Blue and Silver because it started to feel repetitive during gen 3, so I stopped for a long time. But I recently bought Crystal for the nostalgia and enjoyed the gameplay then realized what makes the main series fun for me, which led to me buying Ultra Sun.
If you want to play a Pokemon game for the story then you gotta play the Mystery Dungeon spinoffs. That's where the real good stories are at. But to answer your question uh, tbh I still haven't finished the gen 7 games yet, but the stories are competent enough from what I played and read about them. I dunno. I feel like Pokemon stories mostly get dunked on just because they're simple stories, but it's not like they're really bad stories or anything. I thought ORAS in particular had a really good presentation. Gen 5 is generally regarded as having the best stories for the main series. Mystery Dungeon spinoffs have at least good or sometimes better stories than BW in my opinion.
