Alola was full of life, they took time to make scenery and tiny Pokémon running everywhere, not only in areas where you can take pictures but also in the sections you can't go.
Sure, the story is not something edgy or dark but it's ok because your character is 11 years old so, even if some dark plot was in play, the other characters would still act like they do because it's not the place of a child. Instead, you had a journey with another 11 years old child, son grandson of the strongest trainer / ruler of the main island. Obviously, he is naïve and oblivious, obviously he needs to learn that life sucks but at his pace because this is how you do things, this is literally what the islands challenge is : a journey to learn and grow and this shit is done beautifully.
Yes, gf suck at making 3d games, yes this thing shouldn't be using high poly 3d models with cell shading, yes it is unsettling that they did not understand this while making X and Y but stop hating on the cute parts because it's what this fucking franchise is all about.
