Worst villain of any pokemon game and it isnt close except maybe Lysandre
No nat DeX
Y comm is garbage

Being able to access the box anywhere removes the challenge of getting lost in a cave or route and having to survive until you can get out.
Forced exp share
Cringe music
Your character always has the same blank smiling stare
Entire plot happens at the very end
All indoor battles have a shitty uncreative color background that is jarring
Some battle background outside take place at the incorrect kind of location relative to where they are in the overworld
Pointless cafes

Piers is overrated trash
Starter designs are weak
Honestly I could go on
