You want a secret final boss, have Mustard and Peonny come back from retirement, that would have generated more anticipation than the sad Alain who had no reason to show up anymore.
This series has no excuse, in SM they handled this perfectly, they practically used the entire cast of the game, giving each character their moment to shine and turning them into something recurring, giving continuity to the plot and not feeling like random events. On the other hand in PM everything feels so irrelevant, let's make Ash and Bea rivals without forming any interaction (Hello, battle, and goodbye 3 times in a row), Goh enters a project out of nowhere to find Mew the legendary pokemon that no one has seen, while Ash has 3 in his pocket, and finally Chloe "I'm not interested in pokemon" 10 episodes before the end "Guys, I want to join your advent" next week Scarlet & Violet the anime!
In short, I understand that SWSH was not the focus, but if they had time and resources wasting it on plots and OCs that no one cares about, they could easily use some of that and give it to the game they were trying to sell at the time (God, PLA it was even worse 4 special mini episodes with little reference to the game)
