I wouldn't have expected a full battle frontier for the start of the generation, that's ORAS's failing, but They did nothing with Inverse battles. Sky battles sucked so it's fine we didn't get anything out of that.
There were too many rival characters. Sure the idea of having a group of friends was cool, but we didn't really get to know them that well and instead of it feeling like we were encountering 4 trainers along our journey, it felt like they wrote enough encounters for 1 rival and split that among 4 different people. I can't even remember what Trevor's personality was.
