>No open worldThis doesnt mean anything, having it be open world wont make it suddenly better
>Copypasted housesIn such a small village theres no reason for all the houses to be different but alright i guess
>Lifeless empty wastelands with nothing to doCatch and battle pokemon like any other game? There are also several structures
>Wild Pokemon don't interact with the environment or each otherWe havent seen this to a great extent but we've already seen an electivire with its gang of electibuzz
>Graphics worse than BOTW, a 5-year old game and the main inspiration sourceSure but also most certainly had a significantly shorter dev cycle
>Already struggling to keep a consistent 30 FPSWe have not seen it lag besides the very first footage
>Very few and very static human NPCsWe see many npcs in the town interacting with the world. they all have different models btw
>Almost no trainer battlesLiterally doesnt mean anything, for all we know they could be replaced with horde battles
>Gimped PokedexSure
>Gimped battle systemAlready more complex than previous game's battle systems
>Nonsensical lore like Voltorb being made of woodDont know what this means, makes plenty of sense
>Subpar animationsBest animations of any GF made game
>More region specific gimmicks that won't returnBeen like that for 7 years
>Ridiculous pricing for its qualityBDSP
A lot of the stuff you mentioned previous games also had these issues. And you conveniently ignore anything that doesnt align with your narrative,
We now have:
Seamless catching and battling
New models for most of the pokemon
Completely new animations for a lot of pokemon
Wild pokemon interact with the trainer
Our pokemon can interact with the environment and following may be back
Sidequests
Least linear progression in mainline games
Mounts are back and we can catch pokemon while on mounts as well
The game hasnt even come out yet
