But gen 7 made everything into actual cutscenes so even mashing A it is incredibly slow and takes too long, because now every other dialogue box is sandwiched between pointless character and camera movements that can't be skipped.
If you haven't tried to nuzlocke gen 7 you have no idea how bad it truly is.
And it didn't help that the region is tiny, it's not any more "linear" than something like BW1 but it feels way worse because of how tiny the islands are, the exporable content is painfully small and it lacks even the proper dungeons of gen 5 and 6.
