Kalos Alola and Galar don't have the same strong foundation that the other regions have, they're just publicity to sell more merchandise from these new gimmicks. That's just my personal take on this, although it's not as serious as it sounds, but lately these games are bland.
Even the 3 last regions are promotional content for Kanto mons, Megas for Kanto, Regional forms for Kanto and now Dynamax and Gigantamax forms for Kanto.
