The game is designed terribly on several fronts, which would frankly take quite a while to explain
However, if you just want a random romp with good Pokemon Variety (Isle of Armor is great for this) and/or a quick way to prep a team for online multi, then the numerous QoL improvements and randomized raids + weather give you just that without much hassle, though be warned that you have to finish the slog that is the main game before having access to mamy of said features
In short, the more you like Pokemon as a game, the worse this thing will feel, if you just wanna play a random Pokemon game and you have no access to others it's doable but boring and yes, unironically soulless
