They had interesting characters like Marnie and Bede to carry JN and they wasted it to shove OC that only they cares about.
Unlike YGO & Digimon where writing staff has to come up with an entire setting & cast, Pokemon has the freaking game providing them with interesting idea & characters that they can use. The previous staff understood this advantage which is why they able to run this series for seven generation but current production filled with newbies who wants to make entire anime on their OC and worst part is that their idea for characterization sucks.
