>>45385506Far too easy. You don't need to breed or train competitive level pokemon anymore thanks to the re-implementation of bottle caps and the introduction of mints and EXP candies, making them worthless now since there's literally zero gameplay involved in getting it just spam items and you have a comp ready mon now. EXP share is untoggleable making battles a cakewalk.
Shit tier dungeon and region design with most of it just being fucking hallways and an empty field.
No actually new features. D/Gmax are just shitty 3 turn nuke button versions of Z-Moves and Megas. Cooking curry is a shittier version of cooking poffins since there's no contests to go with it, you're just cooking curry to cook curry, raids are from Go, Jobs are just Poke-Pelago. The postgame is the same shitty 15 minute epilogue plus battle tower combo we've been seeing since Gen 6 and gen 8's battle tower isn't even a quality one since the tower boss isn't a unique character and it's literally only singles and doubles making it the easiest and moat shallow tower to date with maybe the exception of Crystal, but it's pathetic that a feature from a game for the most powerful piece of Nintendo hardware is only outpacing its earliest predecessor from hardware on par with the NES.
The greed. For the full experience you have to pay for 2 subscription services, a DLC pass for 50% of the price of the base game, and the base game itself which is 50% more expensive than its predecessors on its own and still offers less than what they do.
Game is ugly as fuck and doesn't hold up to even Playstation 2 games like Dragon Quest 8. Comparing it to games on the same hardware makes it look even worse.
Anything good it offers is done by its predecessors and done better by them too.
