Honestly, I dropped the game immediately after Mallow's Trial.
I felt like it took too long to do anything. The time from encountering a wild Pokemon until actually hitting it, just too many cutscenes, and A LOT of talking. Ultimately, this lead me to avoid talking to NPCs in general because I wanted to actually do shit. Also, I felt like I wasn't on a journey, more like a field trip. I couldn't go 10 steps without Lillie, Hau, Kukui, or any of the other characters.
And let's talk characters. They are all too fucking nice. The only one I liked was Lillie because she was the only one that had a different personality. The game made me care less and less about what the characters had to say and found myself mashing the A button over and over again.
It sucks too because I was really hyped for this game, only to drop the game that early and sell my 3DS and games. I'll probably buy it again down the road, but to me it left a horrible impression on me.
