The wild area is just a bigger safari zone, dynamax is just Z moves stretched out over 3 turns, and we're back to boring gyms, shit villains, a shit plot, and no postgame aside from a barebones battle tower. This was pokemon's opportunity to take a leap, but they continue to curl up in their niche, while still getting rid if things to make it "cozier".
