Some people say that it's mostly DP fans and XY fans who are the ones who are most critical of SM/JN/MPM, but I'm not sure if that's totally accurate. Maybe it is true to some extent for SM, but I don't think it's the same for JN, if only because Dawn showed up a lot there and I know DP fans really like Dawn. And it's not like they're the only ones who dislike JN. While initially SM fans tended to be JN's strongest defenders, over time there were at least a few who started to turn on JN, particularly around the Masters 8. In fact, some of the people who think JN was very disappointing are SM fans. From what I've seen though, it does seem that XY fans in general tend to be the most critical of any post-XY series, with at least a few outright saying that they refused to watch the anime again at all before HZ (I have no idea how common that sentiment is, but such people do exist).
