Lack of Quality and depth to the Areas: Literally the WILD AREA WHICH IS MEANT TO BE SO OPEN WORLD IS SO MUCH WORSE THAN THE WILD AREAS IN THE DLCS. literally crown tundra is more interesting than wild area, the only thing it is, is some grass with a few trees with weather changes from here and there. no caves no Mountains THEY GAVE US NOTHING IN THE WILD AREA except for shiny hunting, completeting the pokedex and a few fun pokemon games and gmax hunting. but half of these things can do the in like the other pokemon games. and dont get me started on motostoke, hammerlocke, and Wyndon (kinda) THEY BARELY ANY LORE TO IT NOT EVEN LIKE SOME AESTHETICS TO IT OR EVEN PERSONALITY, except for wyndon. IT FEELS SO BLAND. this is what game freak fails to capture. its not very interactive like the black and white games. its just removed everything that made gen 7 and 5 good
Ripoff of Gen 7: this game is an exact ripoff of USUM, think about it they have like similar personalities but different motives. Hop, Hau. Aether Foundation, Macro Cosmos. Eternamax, Ultra Necrozma. Piers, Guzma. Team Yell, Team Skull. Professor Sonia, Professor Burnett. Leon, Professor Kukui or Masked Royale. Bede, Gladion. Team Rainbow Rocket, DLCs or just swordward and shieldgard. Battle Tree, Battle Tower. there are more but to keep this shorter i'm not gonna say.
Feels too easy (imma add more later)
As Sambuca says they had 3 years to make the games. but I dont know maybe extend the making time so there can be better quality. i think game freak just always rush themselves out or overworks they should take their time chill out a little so they can release better games in the coming generations.
The pokemon move animations tho, they go hard as hell
