>>53520011I'd say it's a mixture of how stylistically shit the game looks (in a "NINTENDO HIRE THIS MAN" sense, cartoony monsters don't adapt well to generic realistic graphics) as well as terrible/incoherent design direction where every character either tries to be too unique or too bland. We got spoiled with Alola, and Galar was a mixed bag at most.
Not even mentioning shit like Grusha-Rika where everyone's creaming their pants over a trap and a man marketed as a woman, the epileptic /vt/ bait or Pageeta the extraterrestrial.
