>collecting materialsYou mean throwing you ball at the tree when you see it.
This isn't something absent from mainline games.
>collecting pokemon,That's just tossings but worded differently.
>crafting items with materials. You mean crafting balls to toss at more pokemon.
Thisnisnalsp not something absent from mainline games, btw.
>battling pokemon with the pokemon you collected, There is literally no point outside of the mons you have to enter a battle with to catch since catching gets you EXP anyway.
>and the story are all parts of the gameplay.I'm gonna be honest.i felt bad watching g how hard you had to try and stretch this.
The main games had so much more to them than just catching pokemon. In this game the entire thing is just catching pokemon or an extra step to catching a pokemon. Everything is in service to just doing that and it's not a particularly deep or stimulating affair
