"A rant against Sun and Moon"

I'll preface this by saying i like this generation overall, and there were good tweaks to the game.Now for the rantI'm annoyed about the inability to restart the game and play with the fun stuff you find in the end game. I was thinking with the new mega stone codes it would be fun to restart and play with a team that uses some of them. Then i remembered you don't get mega evolution until post game. In XY and ORAS you get it about halfway through as i recall. So I've replayed those games and traded over a team with mega stones you get late in the game and got the opportunity to play with them through the bulk of the game. Fun. But in SUMO mega evolution is for pvp only i guess. That's kind of a bummer.Well, maybe I'll play with the z crystals you get post elite four. It'd be fun to do a tapu, eevee, mew, snorlax team with their unique moves. Oh wait, you can't trade z crystals, and the only mew we have is already level 100 anyway. Sooooo yeah, can't play the game with these really cool features either...Why are there these fun and cool parts of the game that are unable to be used in the single player experience? Why can't we trade z crystals? Would it really break anything? You can only use one z move per battle, so who cares if you have multiples on the same game? And i get that SUMO wasn't about mega evolution like the previous gen, but why not give the bracelet early in and have the stones later? Then you could replay the way you want to after completing the game the way they want you to play it once.This generation feels the most restrictive out of them all so far and i don't understand why they would make it that way. Rather than replay this gen I'm probably going to replay XY or ORAS. I'm wishing now i didn't get a copy of each (i have one version as my permanent save file and one as my replay game). via /r/pokemon http://ift.tt/2pVYT5j
