Iris being Bianca's bodyguard was completely pointless.
Clay dragging on throughout the whole of Driftveil and following you up to Chargestone was way too much.
Skyla healing a pokémon on top of the tower should have been an optional neat little thing.
Literally every one of Brycen's line outside of the gym are generic as fuck. They're just "I will hold them off while you investigate", "I'm fine" and so on.
Shit like Bianca having a moment with Elesa, Lenora investigating the stones, and Drayden, a major, thinking about Ghetsis speech in his city were fine.
