Hey, even though your comment is a little bit older, i still want to tell you my opinion.
I played nearly every Pokemon title and i even played some competitively. So first of all i'd say there are a lot of things which Game Freak did right. Even though some animations lack a little bit of 'heart and love' i still like the graphics and the looks of the Mons. Especially the design of new gen Pokemon are amazing. Grimmsnarl or Obstagoon for example are simply amazing and soooo cool!
And even from a competitive point of view are the games really good. So many Pokemon are extremely balance and especially the OU-Tier has been so awesome to play. Using some UU Mons in OU feels so rewarding because of the new abilities many Pokemon like Galarian Weezing can be used to counter some Pokemon. Or have you tried to use Galarian Weezing with Regigigas? If not try it. You will be amazed
