Nothing "went wrong", there's just not much to talk about what with the practically non-existent postgame.

This and the fact that past 150 hours if you're not playing at a highly competitive level you're out of things to do.

I liked it the first playthough then it became garbage in 2nd playthrough.

Never happen to me before with pokemon. I could replay games multiple with getting bored

So it's a shit game

It's not new anymore, and they can do better. They took out too many good things from previous games.

It just didn't suit a handheld game. It would have been much better on a console.

I'd rather just play the older games because they either have post game content, or you can replay them. Replayability is a huge factor for me, this game is just too long and I couldn't bother to finish it.

Same thing that happened with Undertale and Overwatch on /v/, both of which are shitty games.

Dunno about you but I've been complaining about it since November

And people who are dissatisfied with something are more likely to speak out than someone satisfied with something, especially with time

Sun and Moon did a lot of things right in terms of base gameplay, balance, and storytelling. It pushed Pokémon in a good direction in many ways.

The problem is, there's not all that much to do after beating the main campaign, and the cutscenes and roadblocks that were fine, and even enjoyable, on the first playthrough become tedious the second time around.

Nothing went wrong, the edgy shitposters have nothing to talk about anymore, so they post bait to pass the time.

The postgame is small potatoes imo, it would have added several hours at most. They'd find something else to shitpost about if not for that.

OP here, people have been shitting on it since day one, but my impression was that it was generally well received. I don't know, I might be biased.
Also the criticism hasn't really changed since then (cutscenes, lack of postgame etc). So I'm either missing a fundamental logical passage here or the userbase has drastically changed over the past few months. If I liked a game in spite of its flaws I don't radically change my opinion after a few months because of said flaws, though >>32748078 and >>32748506 make a good point about replayability.

Postgame content sucks basically. And ultra beasts feel too cancerous for me to put in the effort of catching them.

Ehh, it's probably confirmation bias, but I feel like people will always complain incessantly about the current generation and the generation two generations before it while praising the previous generation

This.

I feel like GF could have at least had the option to skip cutscenes, and as always, more postgame content.

The games aren't bad at all, and here's hoping to USM fixing those problems.

Same exact thing happened with XY. Then people actually sat down with them an analyzed them.
IMO, SM are middle games for me. They do have a good amount of things I like such as finally removing HMs and the Poke Pelago is pretty ace, but they also did a lot of things that pissed be off, like the horrid distribution and Festival Plaza being completely inferior to both the PSS and Join Avenue. There's also the fact that SM just feels like the most blatant "third version" bait of all of the games.

It's just reddit-browsing shitposters, just ignore it. These games are objectively the best in the series, with USUM making this gen even better.

The (bad) overhaul of online play (ORAS had it down perfectly with the bottom screen menus, never got into this festival plaza nonsense, too complicated for what it was)

ultra beast lore not necessarily expanded on like it could be, not just having them be interdimensional pokemon (which is what they are, but were marketed both in universe and irl as being "strange new beings")

Having to patch in old megas

mostly good designs except for that fish (bruxish?) and some of the regional variants (dugtrio)
