>>33272415No more extensive cross-gen evolutions, and then the apparent abandonment of Megas
Abandonment of DexNav, which was the best QOL improvement in the franchise in years
Lack of worldbuilding or sidequests to make NCPs relevant in the games
The fact that you can't select and catch a wild Pokemon when there are more than one on the field
The abandonment of extra features. IMO, contests should have been a series staple
The fact that we have to repeat starters, mammal / bird / bug shitmons, and pseudolegendaries each and every gen, especially now that GF has tapered down on the number of new Pokemon introduced each gen
Regional variants are a good idea that they should continue, but the execution in Sun and Moon was somewhat botched. There should have been more, with entire lines getting unique regional forms instead of just some members of those lines sometimes, and it shouldn't have so blatantly been used as a way to force more Ice, Dark, and Steel types into the game
