I mean, on one hand, sure they're better than what's before, but maybe these elements need to be completely reexamined?

Why do we even have IVs? The idea is to make Pokemon unique from each other, as well as to encourage breeding, but the former could be accomplished in many other ways that doesn't necessitate making your Pokemon objectively worse (for example, color variation). The latter is just boring and grindy and only insane people actually like breeding for good IVs, an act where the process is just getting two Pokemon with good numbers and hatching eggs by driving your bike left and white until you get lucky with a roll, a process that takes hours. IVs should just be done away with, have all IVs calculated as if they were 31.

Are there any other game mechanics or elements in Pokemon that people consider staple that you'd like to see changed or radically altered?
