My main reasons are the lack of any exploration and intrusive plot.
You spend most of the game babysitting a girl who can't even be bothered to pick up a Pokeball, and you cannot enter a new route or town without some NPC or two popping out from the side explaining arbitrary shit to you. The game allows for extremely little exploration, and the optional/side areas that are there are empty and boring as shit. There is no sense of adventure at all in these games. It's just player being railroaded from point A to point B nonstop with constant, forced dialogue sequences every 5 steps you take in the game.
The visuals (for Pokemon standards) and music were nice. But the region and plot are utter garbage. I was hoping GF would take some notes from BOTW not for the open world, but for the fact that it's best to just let the player go and allow them to see shit on their own.
Story is a blight to these games, and I'm not sure why GF is so intent on including it when they can't write for their lives. Also pic related has shit art but it truly embodies what I felt about this game.
