Minimal cutscenes.
Minimal tutorials.
Minimal handholding.
Evil team doesn't have a world-changing saturday-morning cartoon goal.
No legendaries forced onto you in the main quest.
No overexplaining of plot events, they mostly stick to a "show don't tell" formula.
Just a young fella having fun exploring the world, catching pokemon, traversing dungeons and kicking Pokémon smugglers' butts now and then.
