I liked the idea of the Island Trials being a cultural rite of passage. You never really had a reason for doing Gyms.
I didn't like Pokepelago. I recognize that it's convent for some people, but it sucks the joy out of the game to me. Just click a button and wait for your 'rewards'. Whether it's EVs, Levels, Berries, Fossils, or even your Pokemon's friendship. It really killed whatever replay value the series had left after Gen 6.
