Much content was cut from the game, the Dex is supposedly small according to some rumors. Many are complaining about the National Dex not being a thing, but a bigger issue is that the Pokemon aren't even obtainable like they were in Gen 7- you were at least able to transfer them up in SM and USUM.
Game Freak is claiming the amount cut from the games was warranted by new animations, although current trailers have shown they're re-using many older animations one-for-one. It also shows they're not being honest about some of their motives.
Very little effort seems to be put into the games' art; I'm not talking about just the direction. Some of the grass textures look like something out of Minecraft and the tree models are pretty horrid.
Some rumors claim that Leafeon and Glaceon won't be present in Galar, and instead replaced with Steel and Dragon type Eeveelutions. If you had intended to take a Leafeon or Glaceon on your adventure, that may be a deterring factor.
Many story elements are supposedly recycled from Alola; if you've had enough of your Island Challenge after 2 game pairs then you may want to hold off if you're still trying to play for the story for whatever reason.
