Was Poni Island rushed? It has so little content, hands out Z-Crystals like candy, and is essentially Victory Road: The Island

Poni IS the Victory Road, in fact, it has way more content than previous Gens

There's evidence of cut corners on most islands.

>Hau'oli city has a vacant lot for no apparent reason, other than a Machamp standing on it.
>An entire golf course you can't visit, despite it having a dedicated character who is your flying Z-Crystal bearer.
>There's a fairy type trial captain, but no fairy type trial because reasons. Either way, we're one short of what should've been 8 trials
>Malie City has a vacant lot where an actual building could've been
>Blush mountain cannot actually be explored, it only has the power plant reception. A section of the mini-map below it almost looks explorable
>Resolution Cave is a remarkably shallow location, two small floors and a very dull encounter table

There's also Mudsdale's questionable inclusion as a ride Pokémon. It is only needed to cross over specific rocky paths that don't appear anywhere prior to its ride availability, and riding it otherwise changes nothing about encounters that may occur.

Lots of cities has a vacant lot, really
Hau'oli, Heahea, Konikoni, Malie, even Seafolk
There's probably a few I'm missing
But they're possibly where gyms will go in the sequel or not

Victory Road was Lanakila any way you spin it because once you finish the island challenge you had to climb it as a final challenge.

Arguably Vast Poni Canyon and Mt. Lanakila were both the game's Victory Road. VPC being the more traditional V. Road while Lanakila was like the Gen 2/HGSS V. Road where there are no trainer battles except for a rival battle near the end

Two rival battles even. One before, one after.
