I absolutely love the games to be completely honest
BUT, the only other Pokemon game I've played is HG/SS which was a long time ago, so I don't really have anything accurate to compare it to
Most of the complaints I've heard about SM are usually missing features from previous games (Blissey bases is one common complaint I see, but there's others too), or changes from previous games(examples of this are more focus on cutscenes, more linear paths, etc.)
I imagine I could understand how some other people feel about SM if the next game was to, say bring back HMs and remove the judge feature (features that SM introduced), while somebody that would start playing the Pokemon series with the next game that would remove the judge feature and bring back HMs would probably think that game is amazing
We need a Pokemon game to have the best features/design choices of multiple different previous games
Make the next game have less amount of cutscenes, but still have a fairly heavy focus on story for those that did like the story in SM, while also keeping HMs out and the judge feature in, while also having Blissey bases, etc
Probably won't happen based on what I've heard about GameFreak, but it would be the best way to please the most amount of Pokemon fans
