Having recently finished Ultra Sun, I have to say I vastly preferred SM's original story. I feel like so much in USUM was missing - Lillie and the player traveling to Ultra Space, Lillie confronting Lusamine and really tearing into her about how she's a terrible mother, Lusamine fusing with Nihilego and being rescued, Lillie leaving in the end - that made SM's story so heartbreaking yet amazing. Even the credits this time around weren't as emotionally charged. I don't think the story being less emotional is necessarily a bad thing, but in this case I just think SM's story worked better. I also really don't like how Lusamine's behavior was never called out here, but I guess they were trying to make her a little more sympathetic this time around?? idk.
That's not to say I didn't find Ultra Sun enjoyable - I really like the updated trials and all the extra content, and I love that Lillie got to stick around this time. But story wise, Sun and Moon definitely win.
