To 1: I definitely enjoyed the music throughout the game. There were a few instances, e.g. the Cyrus theme or Cynthia's theme, where I just wasn't convinced by the new version, but nonetheless it's still the Gen 4 OST, so definitely a great listen!

To 2: I actually enjoy the Union Room as well, even though it's not the most convenient feature. I wish we had gotten an updated Wifi Plaza as well though. So much lost potential. And I'm not a fan of the 20 minute timer and the lack of options (triple/rotation battle, music choice etc.)

To 3: I think this feature should be a post game feature, but I totally understand why so many people enjoy it, and it's too big of an issue for me. It's certainly convenient.

To 4: I love Ball Seals, literally my entire team has some. Loved them in the original, love them here again. Could have used a few more sticker variants, but it's still a decent variety and I like the 3D decoration mode ^^.

To 5: I wish I could enjoy the BDSP post game as much, but overall they dropped the ball to hard for me imo. The post game island doesn't have the much better Platinum design (especially the volcano is just a regular mountain again), it lacks the Villa, the Battleground, a potential Distortion World post game and of course the Battle Frontier. Also, I really ended up missing the Multi Battle option in the battle tower. I loved choosing an NPC trainer and challenging the tower with them, and this feature would have been even better with the new boss trainers! Also, it's sad that we can't have other players' teams appear as opponents in the battle tower anymore. It's small medium sized things like this that the game missed the mark on the most imo. I still do like the boss battles in Battle Tower and it's certainly a better rendition than the one from Sword and shield that I literally played through "100%" within a day...
