>Art style completely abandoned
>Monster design philosophy irrevocably shifted
>Music outsourced to an indie game hack that doesn't understand what Pokemon sounds like
>Open World and the removal of HMs killed level design
>EXP Share killed the fantasy of training up your Pokemon all on your own exactly as you see fit
>Dex Cut killed Gotta Catch 'em All
>Halved odds and endless methods killed the illusive allure of Shiny Pokemon
>The watered down battle facilities and lack of frontier killed the end-game growth and training of Pokemon
>The removal of moves, items, Pokemon, and the addition of regional gimmicks killed the complexity and variety of competitive Pokemon
>Affection bonuses, forced switch battle style, and an abundance of resources in combination with the EXP Share remove any semblance of difficulty whatsoever
>Pokemon locked behind three paid subscription services
>Transferring Pokemon will be made impossible when Bank closes

I'm free.
