I say it's worse than the first island because you expect the earlygame to be handholdy and to not last that long. Add to the fact that Lillie's a prominent character that doesn't do anything and it's honestly baffling how anyone can say this is better than gen 6, which wasn't even that good. I hate how small the region is, and i didn't even touch upon the online.
