>Gameplay worse than ever (permanent exp share, lack of challenge, you have to try to actually lose against Hop, Bede, Marnie)
>Story worse than ever, tied with Gen 6 for worst story
>Worst music in the series
>Less Pokemon than any game since 2005, 14 year low
>Competitive was gutted. Hyper stall or hyper offense are the only viable strategies, balanced is dead in the water
>Several moves removed, importantly Return, Frustration, Hidden Power, and Pursuit
