I got three or four gym badges in then realised it wasn't even a little bit fun. Everything levels up too easily, the new mechanics were gimmicky and the way it held your hand was annoying.
It was a half-arsed attempt at best and when something like BOTW exists, there's no longer an excuse for phoning it in.
I think it was actually worse than previous iterations. Fewer dungeons, fewer decisions / options / paths to take. More hand-holding. Easier leveling. Less content.
