It has absolutely no progression curve. If you want a good experience you MUST do things in a certain specific order (gyms don't scale), which defeats the purpose of an open world.
Difficulty is babby tier; yes, you could go to the hardest gym available and get your shit wrecked, but even if you manage to defeat it, you'd overlevel the rest of gyms then, making it easier.
Story is pretty shit, and as it's an open world, you'll only get the story dumps at the end, you won't see an overarching plot.
Artstyle is horrendous and you could put those characters in that Disney Animal Crossing game and they wouldn't stand out. Completely soulless.
Like 90% of new Pokémon are shit designs.
You can still have fun with the game because it's Pokémon, the base game loop is that good (they fucking hit jackpot back in 95). You have to do an active effort (like in Sword/Shield) to fuck that up. Just keep in mind that you have to follow a specific route to get the best of it.
>tldr open world is a meme
