I don't know what you think is "normal" here, but... if anything, LGPE is a perfect hybrid of the Gen 5-6 gameplay meshed with the mechanics and design of Gen 7-8 without the map limitations. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
I think LGPE are terribly lazy, but it's not impossible to take some of the GOOD that a bad game did and potentially use it in a future game to make it even better. There's a reason people who were unhappy with LGPE are now complacent with it.
It doesn't matter how mad you are with it, at its heart, LGPE are still Pokemon games with all of that juicy core gameplay that makes it so appealing for everyone. What's wrong with that?
