...would you have enjoyed Pokemon Sun and Moon as much?
Before Sun and Moon came out, I genuinely thought Lusamine was going to be the Big Good of the games instead of the Big Bad. Her being the Big Bad, as well as the Aether Foundation being bad, were my favourite things about the game, since it really shattered a lot of fans' expectations, since a lot of pre-release media implied Guzma to be the Big Bad and Lusamine to not be evil.
How would you feel about Pokemon Sun and Moon if Guzma had been the Big Bad (like the pre-release media seemed to imply) and not subordinate to Lusamine, and Lusamine was good instead of evil?
IMO, I would have still liked the game if Guzma was the Big Bad and the Aether Foundation was on your side, but I would have felt the plot to be a bit more cliche (since Nintendo seems to love the "dark is evil" trope. Take FE: Fates for example - Garon, Iago, Hans, and Anankos are all as obviously evil as it gets). I kinda like it better having Lusamine being the main villain and the Aether Foundation being evil, since it subverts what we expected from Nintendo.
Don't get me wrong, Guzma is one of Sun and Moon's best characters (and so is Lusamine), but if Guzma was the one letting the Ultra Beasts attack Alola, I'd probably see him differently...
