>>58955097I liked the introduction of bottle caps, didn't like how rare they were. EV training was definitely a step down, but it was fun to go back to the old ways for a change (didn't bother with SOS chaining)
I still play the Gen 7 games every now and then, mostly just to use Pokémon I haven't used in that particular game, but they're by far the slowest game to play through, so I usually end up losing interest after beating Olivia. I do play through a rendition of each region every time is a new Gen is announced, though, and I always finish those, so I'll be doing a full playthrough of Alola soon enough.
