I would say that Kalos is only about as cohesive as most other regions. Kalos honestly reminds me a lot of Sinnoh, in many ways. There are a lot of parallels.
Now, whether or not Sinnoh and Kalos are bland? That's up to personal preference. However, I'd say both regions are equally haphazard in the way biomes are placed, the bland towns mixed with the WTF towns, etc.
Luminose is a giant, confusing city, though, and Mt. Coronet is a giant, confusing cave. I admit to interpreting the central location of the region fairly liberally in that regard. Still, I think the more you think about it, the more alike Kalos and Sinnoh function.
