>>29930287It's not bad overall but definitely should have been handled better, and has tons awful moments like how Gladion's Type:Null only has Tackle in the first fight, how awful Lusamine's coverage moves are and how her Bewear literally just spams Pain Split even when it heals me and she could OHKO me, and how Guzma's Golisopod has Swords Dance but no priority moves to make use of it (even though it should have Sucker Punch at its level on every encounter) so it just gets forced out right after using it.
And overall, pokemon tend have only 1 decent attacking move while having empty slots in their move set, really many have moves deliberately removed just to make the fights even easier, use status moves when they could KO, don't use priority to finish off weakened pokemon or deal more damage before inevitably getting knocked out, etc. And no fights, not even major fights have held items aside from some Z crystals, even teams are disappointingly small with even post-game challengers only having 5 with only one exception.
