Then Macros Cosmos coming out of nowhere and Rose being a retard that can't be justified the likes of which the series has never seen.
On top of that, the entire gameplay loop is just a repeat of Sun and Moon, which was already considered to be huge steps below what was already present in the first six gens. You won't like it if you've played a Pokemon game prior to Sun and Moon-- for all intents and purposes it's a visual novel that tries to copy the formula the GameCube games had while also trying to pass itself off as a real Pokemon game, to which it really isn't.
