>>33219944-removed triple and rotation yet expect anyone to care about battle royale -- it will just get removed too, single and double hegemony is real
-horde battles removed in favor of lopsided single-double wild battles with inscrutable and frustrating mechanics
-shitty linear plastic tourist trap of a region
-violently forces the shittiest gimmick in creation (Z-moves) onto you
-touch screen has been taken over by Clippy who ceaselessly stares at you with huge, blinking eyes
-besides the eyes, the bottom screen only has an useless minimap
-no national dex
-most megas missing and then gated in an attempt to keep people playing
-the great multiplayer interface of XY and ORAS is removed and incorporated into festival plaza
-festival plaza is join avenue but retarded. Shops cannot level up, you must grind festival coins in monotonous minigames involving handwaving and talking to people
-game sync is forced when you connect, making wifi even more sluggish
-basic things like EV training regressed back to monotonous grinding or a mobile-esque waiting game
-customization worse than before -- only short-sleeved shirts and shorts are available. This is not a joke
-overall filled with artificial merch bait - Z moves, rotom pokedex, Lillie, "Nebby". The list goes on
-low amount of new pokemon, most of which are extremely slow
-the cafe at the pokecenter is the most pointless feature ever
-tiresome nostalgia & Kanto pandering
-unbelievable amount of cutscenes and hand-holding -- the first island has gained legendary notoriety for this
-no resolution for any of the plotlines (Zygarde, ultra beasts, pokemon league, team skull & aether)
-fishing available only at specific spots, adding to the feeling of a plastic tourist trap
-riding system is bad. You just teleport some random pokemon out of nowhere so they might as well be items, and nothing interesting was done with the ability to remove different obstacles
-you cannot sit on benches
