Boy oh boy, here we go. These are my personal gripes.
>Story has several glaring issues, especially when it comes to missed opportunities
Dexit personally bugs me, especially in that with the DLC, they were about 75% of the way towards fixing this
>Base Wild Area has little to do, is severely underutilized, and doesn't make up for the reduced number of routes
Routes and dungeons are both far less complex and engaging than usual
>Although I'll give it points for applying to any Pokemon, Dynamaxing is still inferior to Megas
The method to obtain Gigantamax Pokemon as pretty ridiculous
>Even though I generally like the Pokemon designs, some important Pokemon, like Calyrex and his steeds are very poorly designed
Never get to see all possible combinations of mismatched fossil Pokemon, which they could have easily done by adding 4 more to each piece of DLC
tl;dr - Game has tons of missed opportunities, probably caused by the shortened dev cycle and this being their first console outing.
